Socom U.S. Navy Seals: Confrontation Preview

For the last 4 hours, I'm sure all of you (and me :-D) have been playing the Socom Confrontation Beta. I'm here to give you all a quick preview on this wonderful piece of art. First of all, it's a beta so understand that my words will say some negative things refering to the beta. This game has amazing potential. When I first downloaded the beta it was at 1pm EST, and finished at 4pm EST. When I first jumped into the beta, I was amazed of how well the dashboard is.

The Network Sign-On didn't take too long at all. I was greatly impressed with how the game started out. I began to customize my character and noticed some lag. It wasn't un-godly horrible but it was enough to annoy you. I got it done it about 10 minutes (which isn't horribly bad) and proceeded to the lounge. Pretty niffty! The lounge was packed! Sweet. Anyways, I proceeded to enter a game and had to wait...20 minutes. Wait....20? Yep. Drove me mad. A lot of my friends from the Playstation Forums had the same problem.

So The match started and was GREAT for like 10 minutes until the lag started flooding in. I was able to pull off a couple of matches until the server started messing up and has now caused a ton of problems for most of us. Now a ton of us really can't sign in :-S As I said at the beginning folks, this is a BETA, and beta's have problems. So far, Slant Six started off well with the game, and just need to fix server issues. The characters, environment, controls, and music are stunning. It might not be as realistic as MGS4 and such, but you have to give Slant Six credit for such an awesome job on the game so far. Keep it up guys!!!
