I bought the game and have been thoroughly disappointed. I can't even give an honest opinion on the game play. I've had it since release and have had about 1 1/2 (probably an optimistic estimate) of good server connectivity without errors. BUT, my stats have not yet been kept accurately. Friday night has been the only time I've had a good run of it. . . I thought great, they've figured out their problems. . .Well, maybe on the server side, but now I am getting a game freeze once about every twenty minutes.

AHHHHHHHH!!!

I have the same problem with my stats, mine don't even show up

I still have all 0's even though I've played like 50 games

. I cannot say the same for the servers and freezing problem, since i got it the game runs pretty smooth and only once has a game been disconnected, no problem getting into any room either

I was having the same problem with stats until I figured out that they only keep stats for ranked matched. If you go to the records page and press the triangle button it will show your unranked stats. But I have played a lot of ranked matches and am still showing zeros for kills and the unranked stats aren't accurate either. Anyone else having problems with ranked stats?

yep thats exactly my problem, but mine still have all 0's, More than have the games i've played been ranked games and still all 0's, I have not checked my unranked stats but doubt they will be accurate

Hope the stats and servers get stabilized quick, its a shame really but then again not new to Socom issues. Played for about 3 hours last night after getting everything installed. Only about 30 minutes of my play time were recorded but I did get to play with an ex clan mate back from my S1 S2 days. Love the headset, so comfy and clear. Its starting to grow on me.

I'm usually good on all my patches, etc.. Was fine on other games after. Did get it to work late last night.

Played a few rounds of 8vs8 Breach on the ruined city level. It was pretty fun. The audio is the star of the game, absolutely fantastic.

Graphics are average with some graphical glitches, etc. But they do the job at least.

Can't wait to check out more levels and get the controls down a little better. I'm not sure if default is the best for me but I managed with it.

i'm so dissapointed in this game. Not being a veteran of the previous socoms i took a chance on this.... wow this is like a beta...

i cant even play the damn game with it freezing. crashing servers? i mean come on. Its like they didnt expect to sell the game so they werent ready for the launch?

$60 wasted.

Man-Is-Obsolete · 10-21-2008, 10:57 AM

It is hard to predict what will happen once 25,000 users sign on to play at once. That is what happened here, once the game was released and 20,000-30,000 people played at once problems arose that don't exist otherwise.
I am still enjoying it and I know the problems will be fixed.

Copywriter · 10-21-2008, 07:11 PM

I played for about 4-5 hours yesterday with just 1 issue (game closed). Not bad.

Seems like some people are having far more issues than others.

Even though this is my first Socom, I like it enough to be patient with the fixes. This game is fun.

Kruzifixxion · 10-21-2008, 07:32 PM

Hey so is the game worth buying? I liked COD 4 played it until i got to level 55 or so.Then i got bored of it.Now i don't play it at all.Might sell it too.
I play Warhawk more i find it realy fun all the time.

UPDATE:

They are working hard on the server issues. According to the post, there are over 100,000 people playing daily with spikes of 25,000 at ONE time--hence the issues.

They are working on a new client patch that will resolve some client side issues (booting to XBM, disconnects, etc).

jkwest · 10-21-2008, 07:56 PM

yep...saw that news...I think I will be waiting for that one to hit before I even try to get in on this game...its sadly just sitting at home waiting for me to downlod that 470MB patch.../sigh

eRod v1.0 · 10-21-2008, 08:17 PM

Not sure if this was posted before so here goes. If you are still having problems downloading the patch, do this. Go into your network settings. There is an option "Media Server" something to that effect. Disable it. You should now be able to download the patch with NO problems.

Great suggestion.

Here's another, at least for the beta, I had to disconnect my usb devices, keyboard, mouse, etc to download the patches.

I wish I had those. If I did I would have been mad if I wasted one on a game that sounds like it is hard to connect to. But I can't complain I still have not received my copy from amazon yet!!
