SOCOM: Confrontation – 1.60 Patch December 10th - Page 65 - Blu-ray Forum

Sponge-worthy · 08-22-2009, 12:51 AM

I've been thinking about getting this game, but I've held off given the variety of complaints from the SOCOM community. Does this patch seem to address all the game's problems??

Bah they also made it sound like 1.5. Was just around the corner and it took like 3+ months. I've learned with socom..... I'll believe it when it's there to dl

Copywriter · 08-25-2009, 12:39 AM

Was this the same 1.50 that they talked about coming soon in 2008?

Looks like a lot of fixes. I tried playing the game again, but after a long install, it said something was corrupt. Tried again (remove and reinstall) and same thing.

Guess I'll pass. Just wanted some trophies.

MLK · 08-25-2009, 09:27 AM

for the night owls, the patch is finally out. lets see if its an epic fail or not...

Wow, the crying for the 1.6 patch is over and the crying for more fixes is starting.

Haven't really played since 2008, but MAG is still 7 weeks away and there's absolutely nothing that can hold my interest, so I think I'll try Socom again.

greekjgg · 12-10-2009, 01:36 AM

People still play this game? MW2, then MAG soon; then BF2? Really; they are spending Dev time on a patch?

KS76 · 12-10-2009, 01:44 AM

I read in an article a few months back that SOCOM is the #1 played PS3 exclusive. There are no other games with the tactical team based gameplay of SOCOM. It really is a thinking man's shooter much more so than the clusterF#%^ that MW2 is.

MLK · 12-10-2009, 01:53 AM

ive played this game more than any other ps3 game to date, because the team play, realism, and satisfaction of winning is matched by no other shooter out right now.

^ I definitely agree. For any of ya'll who haven't tried this game yet, or have taken a break for a minute, now's a great time to jump in, especially with the 5 new snow maps coming out later this month.

KingBing · 12-10-2009, 03:50 AM

Even thought I haven't played it in a while, I have to agree with the above posts.
