Who's got it? Got the game and my sharpshooter controllers all charged up ready to play it.

Just picked this up but bloody psn is knackered.

Iv been playing socom since the first installment. I wasted many hours of my teens playing socom 2. First thoughts playing campaign is that the controls are more basic than Socom 4 which should help online. I seen a few people on my friends list were playing the beta last month so hopefully its not too buggy.

I'm finding it a bit hard to play with the sharpshooter, perhaps just a matter of getting used it.

Just sticking with the dual shock. Can't imagine how the playstation move works with socom.

I've changed some settings so the cursor movement isn't so immediate and it's amazing, especially sniping.

I don't like the SP.
I'm about 40% through it, not gonna finish it. Playing Portal 2 then once PSN is back up I'll be taking Socom online!

This has become one of those games where I play the same custom mission again and again working out different ways to achieve the same goal, can't wait till they get the online working again.

so who's up for some co-op then? biggrin (upto 6 players is it?)

still messing around with the sharpshooter settings but getting along much better now .. the turn rate on default was dog slow.. and even with the dualshock with sensitivity right up it felt like such a slow game.. now tho the sharpshooter is so damn quick im over shooting the target smile .. need more practise/tweaks but much happier tonight than last night online.

im very impressed with getting into games compared to CoD's.. everytime i get in straight away, no noticeable lag (possibly because being hit by a bullet actually kills people!) and yet were runnign 30+ players. brilliant. headshots are so satisfying (especially looking down the sights of the sharpshooter).. the big splurt of blood being noticable at some distance! biggrin

not sure its better than CoD.. not the respawn games anyway (that im currently playing to learn the maps).. but Classic mode [1 life/round] i cant wait to get properly into..cant beat a bit of stealth/tactics.. its a real shame there are no hostages to extract though frown
