A little SOCOM 2 info.....

[[SS]SportoFu]

Confirmed by Electronic Gaming Monthly Magazine (October 2003 | egm.gamers.com )

Overall:
* "Iris Effect" (walking from dark areas to light areas and vice versa causing a change in brightness).
* Several new Weapon Classes (accessable online): Rocket Launchers, AP mines (pressure/remote), and shotguns (from pump to full-auto).
* Reload/Fire-mode issue addressed.
* Instant "drop-down" command by holding the stance button.
* Voice actors include bigger names (such as Michael Clarke Duncan ).
* Enhanced visual mapping and texturing (even the online maps got a touch-up).

Single Player:
* Vastly Improved Ally/Enemy A.I. (some of it modeled after SOCOM online Gamers' strategies).
* Boomer's been fired.
* Several new voice commands (overwatch for example), and up to ten secret commands.
* British SAS and Russian Spetznaz will tag along on some missions.
* Efforts in a mission affect future missions, change enemy rosters, and alter enemy A.I. in such missions.
* 12 missions in Albania, Algeria, Brazil, Russia, one being at sea.
* 40 unique new characters.
* Take on various vehicles, including a plane and tank (thank god for RPGs).

Online:
* LAN Support.
* Voice Masking (as in altering your voice) and muting (yay, no more annoying brats!)
* Name display for who's talking.
* Victory dances (flips, breakdancing, and... yes.. I mean this... the Macarena).
* Turrets (some with thermals).
* GLs allowed (all propelled grenades will have a short delay from fire to arming to prevent short-range hits).
* Impoved anti-hacking measures.
* Custom loadouts (armory setups) for each map.
* Female character models.
* Spectator mode (max: 8).
* Improved "Rank" ranking system, keeping veteran players from facing off with newbies, and more information tracked.
* Friends/Ignore lists.
* Two new modes (Breach and escort - from what I gathered the breach mode will allow air-strikes).
* Weapon list editing (i.e. snipers only, hg's only, etc) and respawning option for supression games (yes, this was stated).
* Enhanced original 10 maps and 12 additional new maps.
* Voice chat in pre-game lobbies.

This game is going to be nuts.

*In a good way*

[[SS]Raiden]

countdown till beta testing starts now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[[SS]Cuervo]

hrmm...
AP mines (pressure/remote), ... oh yes... watch the fuk out!

[[SS]Cuervo]

uh oh..
"respawning option for supression games" hrrmmm sound like the rest of the counterstrike type games online now.. we can hear Raiden say "FUK.. Code Breaker!!!" more than once a round

[[SS]Deadeye-R]

I hope you can shut the respawning thing off if you chose to do so. That could get quite annoying if cheating does ever make it into SOCOM II.

[[SS]Cuervo]

Im sure it will work like other online PC games.. where the admin of the server/room has controls of the room settings at any time

[[SS]SportoFu]

Hopefully like Ghost Recon on x-box......you can set it on, off, or adjust the amount of spawns, etc.....

[=D//R=SkyHawk]

Go Russian Spetznaz ! lol

By the way whats with Boomer??? Why is it such a deal that he'f fired??

Impoved anti-hacking measures, i hope that would keep all the cheaters out for a long time.

Cant wait when SOOCM II is out, i already preordered mine in June.

[[SS]Snakebite]

Nice info Sport, now I need some paper towels to wipe the drool from my mouth.

[JESS7]

Are you sure that's drool, Snake?!?



oooo, now that was mean! I am sorry, sweetie. I couldn't resist. You know how it is. I love you anyway! ;)

[[SS]Raiden]

according to inside sources Boomer will be retiring to his hometown mall as a Security Officer

[[SS]Steve-O]

If you have ever played the actual game(singles mode[NOT ONLINE]{YES THERE IS MORE TO SOCOM THEN ONLINE PLAY}) you will know why Boomer was such a retard. You can tell him to stay put 3,4,5 even 6 times. But he still has to get his freaking ass up and follow you. Not to mention if he sees someone and your trying to sneak around he will start shooting at them, alerting a few more gaurds making life very difficult.

With all due respect to single player gaming......Just a little single player info & forgive me if I get LOUD!!! BOOMER'S MISSION IS TO STICK WITH KAHUNA, HE IS PROGRAMMED TO STAY NO MORE THAN A CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM YOU. Whew I said it there. He cannot "Stay or hold position", but yur right the focker is retarded because most times all he does is translates enemy intel, but DOESNT FIRE HIS DAMN WEAPONS AND GETS KILLED ALL THE FOCKING TIME then he cant translate, so he is useless AND NOW DEAD!!!! He deserves to be a Rent-a-Cop. Good ridance ya bastage

Oh sorry for the ranting, oh yeah SOCOM II......... is gonna rock....@least until this Christmas kills it like last Christmas killed SOCOM I. ha ha ha ha

[[SS]Steve-O]

That is when I got Socom 1 is in christmas. I didn' leave the T.V. for like 3 months. Then things started falling apart and kinda just dropped it.

[=D//R=SkyHawk]

At first when i got SOCOM i tried to play it but it was kinda boring, i got stuck on the 4th mission, then i got Network Adapter....Well SOCOM became my best game ever since.
Thanks for the Boomer info.

[[SS]Cuervo]

any luck recruiting Sky?

[[SS]Steve-O]

maybe tagger rator and Airborn can direct some of the few thousand of emails they get and forward them to you.

[=D//R=SkyHawk]

So fare i have 1 mmore member, hes name is Riggs, hes a good person. This friday we will host some tryouts.

[=D//R=SkyHawk]

Thanks man, so fare i have Jammers AIM.

[[SS]Snakebite]

Shpendel?? are a Shpendel dancer? hehe

[=D//R=SkyHawk]

I highly doubt that, “shpendel” is a Russian word that I adopted to English. It means quick, funny person, you cant really translate it.
So when ever you see shpendel it must be me.

Unfortunately for the rest of use, an hour after Bee gets his copy he will no longer be running around with no clue. FOCKER. If he gets it for even a couple of days before the rest of us then it will be like S1 now, we are FUBAR. Every1 run FORREST run lol

Welcome soadnecro

Well, seabee i was ' Tall Guy 14' (my 'tall' friends account)the map i played for like 2-3 hours was Bitter Jungle, i used the 552 the whole game. I was on terrorists and i was the mvp for them BCAUSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID N E THING USEFUL!:) Sometime in that period of time u joined and it was you and gunner_blah balh...i dunno gunner something that were the only ppl who could kill me! l0l not to brag but...I WAS THE REASON THE TERRORISTS EVER WON!!:D :cool:

That probably won't scar me either...:p asskickings come&go then pass ;) lol

[=D//R-Magnus]

Hey sportofu. Your from Sask? Cool I'm in Alberta. Just sayin hello.

[[SS]SportoFu]

Hey Magnus.....yup, [SS]Deadeye, [SS]Eclipse, and myself are from Saskatoon. Where in AB you from?

[MKNITRO]

I have the demo for single player, and I have seen my buddy's beta version online. I was impressed with the overall game, but I am a little disappointed with the cartoon like graphics. Hopefully they can smooth that out a little more.
We shall see. Other than that the game looks pretty kick @$$.

[[SS]Steve-O]

Honestly no game looks real all games will look cartoonish just becuase no system is powerful enough to make or update key features like skin tones in real time. But you are right about it kicking ass.

[MKNITRO]

I suppose you are right. I am glad to see the motions are more fluid. Have any of you beta testers ran into any bugs, or glitches. I am hoping if you have they have been addressed.

on a second note. where do you all usually play? I will be on either tonight or tomorrow, and I am wondering if I will run into you all online, and see what your all about.

[[SS]Snakebite]

We dont really have a home server, we are drifters, lol. I'm going online in like 15 mins. I'll prob post up in Current Location..... not sure if you have access to that thread or not.

[[SS]ProXimo]

OK, I have played SEABEE and I must say. YOU GOT GAME. Your now my personal training aid BEE. I will take you out. LOL

Just kidding man, Your coo and you can play like a mug.

Peace.
