SOCOM 3 revealed
Sony let slip word of new online shooter
Sony have revealed today that a third title in the multiplayer-tastic third-person shooter series SOCOM is en route to the PS2, and is once again being crafted by Zipper Interactive. The title is due out in the autumn, but unsurprisingly has been rumoured for some time anyway. Morocco, Poland and Bangladesh will be forming the new backdrops to our elite force's actions, and new AI as well as customisable weapons attachments are also being mooted.

Larger levels, using advanced 'streaming' technology (rather than those pesky loading screens) are promised, and singleplayer appears to be getting far more attention this time around than in the previous PS2 Online-focussed titles. Plenty of vehicles are also due, as too are multiple routes to success, and a new 'context sensitive' control for ordering comrades, etc. More is expected at E3. News-Ed-out.

cant wait for socom 3
re we gonnahave to pay for socom 3 online?
pay for online???? give your head a shake and dont give them any ideas.
several people have told me that while playing socom 2 online ,they better not do that. it is a terrible idea.
SOCOM 3 NICCA
cant wait for socom 3 its gonna be fun and paying for it is a bad idea.....:)
Online play and pay? Your insane. Look at how computer games are run online. People buy servers now and let public use it. One thing for sure [and this is to correct "idiot think"] is that there is no corrolation between low "ping" and an extra internet bill...okay! Some of you [me included] have what is called a low upload speed. Thats the most important thing...and the point where most cable subscribers are ripped off. I Will pay alright...for my own server. Id leave it open to public too. I'm not subscribing to hand out loot for a game I ALREADY PAID FOR. So for those of you who think the answer to lag is pay...I hope this clairified everything. No idiot...no. Its your internet connection combined with the limitations of the system and game = LAG!. Online shooters should remain practically free. And again...i'd be one of the first people to line up and pay for my own server. I may even try and make one anyhow. A lotta people would.
BTW. Wheres the discontent? They only announced socom 3 as a singleplayergame. They want to force the singleplayer aspect of the game on us fine...but zipper beware...your in a consumer based driven buisness. Your fans bought socom 1 and 2 for an online shooter.,..nothing else. Cause I like gamez ill check it out. Im begining to get worried though. What online shooter uses a streaming engine...different engine for online play? LMAO. Dont be let down if zipper interactive announces it has dropped the online aspect of the game.
xbox live would love it of sony would join in. thered be a pay only fork in the road at that point...for consol users. id never go online again with system . xbox live subscribers would quadruple. sonys would drop off. xboxlive if anything is being crucified by the fact that sonys online play is free for most part [finaly fantisy has people convince]. sooner or later it will cease to exist...so long as sony offers [and should continue to do so] free onlineplay. I already pay for connection and game...why more??? Only other thing to pay for is your own server...would sonyl let that happen? Anyway...im ranting at this point. I got another complaint though. In other games that arent online [redfaction 2] there is a 4 person splitscreen mode where you can multy play offline. Will this game have this...so you dont need to network thousands in equipment to play with buddies offline? Scam I tell ya. Not lookin good for socom fans.
only reason i ask if you will have to pay is becasue there are alot of roomers on socom 2 about it. i will still pay if i need to because i play socom 2 online when ever i can. you are right zipper did not anounce anything about the multyplayer yet so where do people get these ideas from. Zipper is not going to drop the online part of the game because online is the biggst and best part of the game.
one more thing when is E3 when they are revealing the multyplayer?
Paying for Online play on Socom 3 is rediculous
If u hav to pay to play online for Socom III then im stickin wit Socom II. Socom III is still gonna be the best thing that has eva happened :-) !!!!! Ive heard that u most likely cant but if u can i hope we can drive humvees and boats and Sony good job on lettin us swim!!
HORAY! they heard our crys about vehicals! this company actually listens, we complined about cheaters in socom 1 and they were almost unheard of! and custom weapons too! thats sweet i cant wait to reserve my copy! :-D :-D :-D I hope we dont have to pay, sony is so good to us but if they do i will only pay buy thouse coads that halo has... you know you buy a card in a game store, thats the only way to go, no way i sending a money order or use my card BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEAS LET US PLAY FOR FREE! PLEASE? I BOUGHT THE HDD AND ALL THE MAPS! ILL BUY A DAMN T-SHIRT IF YOU DONT MAKE US PLAY! :-D
by the way make a tshirt/poster
cbk 4 life!
make er for free
GET ER DUN!
they better not because the sales will go right down most people just play online and dont play the missions
cant wait to see this game at E3
For all you HDD owners... you probably wasted your money. THe HDD bombed and as a result they put out the slim PS2 meaning that SOCOM 3 most likely will not require the HDD.
There will be online play... the details aren't iron out but the statement has been made. There is no way we will have to pay for SOCOM 3. Pay servers are only succesful for MMGs like Everquest, and Sony knows that.
I've seen the screenshots of socom 3, being in the army i see that the weapons in socom 3 are identical to some of the weapons here. On the screenshots i see the gun that i have fired before, the black M8 carbine, with m320 grenade launcher. From some of the boys here, i here that socom is actually taking real sounds from the sounds of these firearms. Thats sickk!!
paying wouldnt be such a bad idea i have xbox live and ps2 online and x-box is way better.
on x-box the system dosent crash when 30 000 people are online you can have 100 000 and the game will still be practically lag-less. Another thing is that zipper would work alot harder on trying to fix glitches and rank up.
etheir way socom is the greatest online game. (second halo 2)
i hate halo 2 i bought it blows its boring and if you dont shoot someone in the head they dont die! we need to figure out if we have to pay for the best online game ever (socom 3) and it is going to be the best!
socom 3 is gonna be soooo cool. we're goin to be able to sneak up stealthfully under the water and stealth the person to death, gonna be awesome. in socom 2 u cant even duck under water for 1 second, i had to jump off a cliff to go under.but socom 3 is gonna be great, thanks sony
i think this is gonna be awesome i cant wait i dont mind payin if its good but i still rather not pay
Love you!
socom3 is the best thing ever
hey waz up socom 3 is gonna be the shizznit.damn right joe i agree with you completly if i have to pay im not gonna buy it i only play for the online not only will i not buy it but ill tell others not to buy it and trust me iknow alot of socomers that would listen so plz sony keep it free!!!!!!!!!!!! love the game but spent my money on the modem/game/cords/computer so i dont have a lot of money to "pay play." so keep it free :-p
Uh yeah Ps2 online play sucks.......... socom sucks
Xbox online play is sweet.........Rainbow six rocks
I will bang anybody in Socom 2. And I will bang in Socom 3. 8==D
No dude your wrong Xbox sucks, PS2 AND SOCOM rule, we dont have a titanic sized controller and we can also play rainbosix online ''but'' we can do it for free SUKKER...
rainbow six sucks my hairy ball sack. sont even try to diss socom just bcause u suck at it and cant play a realistic game
thank you joe god dam rainbow 6 doesnt compare to socom all first person games are the same with some exceptions
First off, we will not have to pay b/c sony would not be that stupid. If they want to make us pay, then they are ASKING us to buy another console b/c that is exactly what I will do. My wife plays WOW which she has to pay monthly for and I think it lags more than Socom II does! I agree with whatshisname...buying the game, HDD, cable, router, and multiple headsets (4 to be exact) was plenty enough.
Enogh complaining:
I want to know if the online play (which they WILL have [its too popular to leave it out]) will incorporate different missions. (I.E. "Breach", "Extract") For instance, how about a respawn where it is everybody against everbody? (Just an idea!) I had another ? but can't remember what it was. LOL
Socom II:
Damage, Inc
Clan: Ruthless Army [ )2a ]
Mostly seen in US East
I remember now
Anyone know if there is a trailer for SOCOM III yet?
i cant wait for socom 3...and i hope there is no online fees!!!!!
anyone saying zipper will scrap the online portion of socom is just dumb. thats why 80% of the people bought the game. i played offline for about 15 minutes, and ive been playing socom for over 2 years. i also have xbox live and i like the way microsoft has it set up. 1 username for all games so you can look at your friends list and it tells you what games other people are playing at the time. plus it constantly changes who is the host while you're playing so the game flows the best it can. sure theres a little lag sometimes, but nowhere near as much as a game like socom...thats supposed to be broadband only, no less. i would have no problem if sony made an online community for 50 bucks a year like microsoft, and neither would most of ps2 players. that is unless theyre cheap, or theyre parents wont let them. 50 a year is absolutely nothing. i read in a magazine a few months back that sony is going to do that and i say good.
p.s. - socom 3 is gonna kick ass, but vehicles better not be online...that would suck
hey joemama your a dumbass they have been working on socom 3 online, they are just announcing socom single player first. there are 2 teams that r a part of zipper one that makes single player and one that makes multy.
they just said that they were trying to make the single player better because it needs to meet the expectations of the people that dont play online dont be selfish! i know that online is the best part of the game and that is where most their money in sales comes from but they are trying to make the single player as good or if not better than online that doesnt mean their not improving the multyplayer so there is nothing to complain about
if they make us pay im gonna be sooooo pissed
cant wait for socom 3 right now im like grounded 4 like a year from it but forget that when it comes out ill be playing
well let the work begin
Dats my name on socom 2. Socom 3 is gonna b insane, but i didnt hear u had 2 pay for it
[M16a2]*Red Storm*-[M16a2] OwN$ YoU~!
they should have dual hand guns for terrorists
ROTFL! Little needle dikk spends his time reading messages on boards like this and tells other people they're losers.
FYI: I just did get laid, and he had the firmest little bubble butt, too. Yummy!
In socom 3 there are going to be 2 servers : one where you pay to play and one where you don't pay. I would love if sony putted multiplayer offline in socom 3 so that you could play "single player" together with a friend or maybe online together with more. That would be really cool :-D
i hope u can use the vehicles online!
regardless of whether or not you pay for it, you are going to get ass holes either way. anyone that has paid for an online game should know that.
damage inc i played vig respawn with u and pole smoker the other day wazup
SOCOM 3= HALO KILLER!!!!!!!
What wappens are goin 2 be on socom 3!!!!!!!!!!
wtf is a "wappen".....weapon?? hahha....
SOCOM 2= halo killer
cant wait for socom 3 ^.^ the new specs...like driving and online maps 5-6 times the size of socom 2 maps is going to be great!!!
i already played socom 3 its so good and u dont have to pay
because they are all fat
u guys have to get out and play outside
whats up red storm i played with u online lol
no
one
cares
I've seen almost everything from Socom III, the multiple changes to your guns. I heard either May or October 15th. But who cares I guess.
how have u played it already
I am just wondering that you said that Ziper will be focusing mainly on the single player for socom 3......From everyone I have been in contact with that plays SOCOM 2 loves it for its ONLINE GAMING (the single player mode is set aside)...
For Ziper to focus mainly on single mode and leave the online aside would be a great disapointment to myself, and i'm sure many other SOCOM junkies.
Plz pass on my word and thoughts on this subject.
if they make up pay for socom 3 it would be so much better becase if they don't keep up on the uploads they would lose people. They would fix most of thing like gliching and stuff like that and if they didn't they would lose people and they wouldn't make money so quit b****h.
Is S3 gonna be like socom 2 where it takes 30 bullets to kill someone or will it be like s1 were it takes like 5? FOR ONLINE!!!!
i hope they make us pay for socom 3.after all its your money not mine....lol
i hope they make us pay for socom 3.after all its your money not mine....lol
the seals and terrorists look way to fat with all the armor on them hopefully they wont be that big in the game or else it will be impossible to dodge bullets.
Socom 3 is gonna be the best made online game
Paying for socom 3 would suck!! Socom 2 is awesome online without paying and u shouldent have to pay for 3 either.
if you pay the game would be a lot better. because they would have to up load it and keep up on the game.
Online theres going to be new kinds of gaming. The expense of adding new maps and maintaing the " no lag " system will add up to about 20.00 a month
O M F G finnally there is gonna be socom 3 at last im finally gonna play a other game then the old socom 2, i cannaot wait till it comes out.

what site do i go to for socom3
O Shizznit..SOCOM 3 Bizznitches
will there be vehicles online?
dude just put adversisments on the thing. it would eliminate any money needs. make it so the scoreboard has something written on it. put it after the user aggreement, on the thig that pops up first, or the messages instead. heck, just drop out auto play. it almost never works, and it usually boots you. just lace it into every thing in the game. make posters of the advertisments on the walls of the online maps. make it a monthly fee for aadvertisers. its a win win situation. heck, tens of thousands of people play socom 2 every day.
damn socom 3 is good
damn socom 3 is good
when i get socom 3 my rank will be 1!:-p
well i cant wait for the new socom to come out
i hope we do not have to pay for the online version
so what if it has lag we dealt with it in socom1 socom2
WELL PAYIN FOR SOCOM 3 NO CHANCE WHY PAY WHEN WE HAD TO BY THE OTHER STUFF TO GET ONLINE AND WILL MY NAME STILL BE THE SAME AS IT WAS ON SOCOM 2 ????? CUZ I AM THE TOP DOGG BOYS AND REMBER IT LOL :)
ya if we have to pay im stayin on socom 2
is it gona be good online
SOCOM 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only way they can make you pay for online is if they make every game like that.. and not every game is like that so it wont happen.. i highly doubt it
You've probably seen me before in the game.. I was the one that owned you round after round..
but the only thing I'm here to say is that Socom rocks.. the lag is a major pain the ass though.
If you have to pay to play , i wont.
Paying them wouldnt do anything abotu lag. its based on your own server speeds.
I like to taunt you clowns in the game, but I see the opportunity here as well , because none of you beeotches know how to spell.
no wonder its so easy to kill you all, youre all illiterate bums :) lol
gotta problem?.. see you in the game punk
first off they will not make us pay to play its not logical. secondly i ve got xbox live and its cool and all but i got bored of halo 2 in three weeks, socom 2 is by far the GREATEST!! online game ever. i play it almost everyday(im a legit captain) and [ICE] clan will own your ass any day of the week;-)
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Socom 3 Online is going to cost about $5.00 a month or 50.00 a year to be able to play. Sorry!
Socom 3 will not cost to play online. We put a lot of thought into and decided it was best to play online for free.
good call Zipper Prez. :)
I was talkin to some friends about the offline game and Im the same way I see lots of these people posting.
I've never even finished playing the offline game.
My cousin whom I made addicted to the game, has never even played the first level of offline.
I was wondering if Zipper might save money or disc space to offer just a fully featured offline game CD.
Its none of my business, but personally I think thats alot of offline gaming programming going to waste.
The online is where its at.
my opinion.
if you are the pres. of zipper update your dam website please.
hey brett,
It sounds like you suffer from inferiority complex that has come from frustration at sucking on Socom and now its causing you to lash out at Zippers website.
(talks to brett while he lays on the crazy couch)
See your frustration probably comes from the fact you get shot here,there, everywhere in the game... while you try to gimp those fat tootsie roll fingers to navigate and now your displacing your frustration onto a website.
See brett, what ya gotta do is get rid of that 552, or F-90 and grab some nades instead of smoke.. and get out of that camping spot your probably always in.
you still probably wont get any kills, but at least your team mates can say "..nice try.." as opposed to seeing all them votes come up on your screen while you camp in a corner.
(pushes couch over...rolling brett off)
...MUWAHAHAHAHAH.... (flash bangs him)
You can cord pull~
You can Game Shark~
But you'll never stop the ~H!TMAN~
:D
Socom one was definately better than socom 2. I hope it is not the same with socom 3. I really hope they fix their mistakes.
uuuuhhhh hitman ill probly beat your ass in socom and i use a 9mm sub or Ra-14 guns that take skill. and the only reason i complain about the website is because they havent updated it since 03(socomII) and random web sites have more info about there games than they do. oh yea thats probly not the pres. of zipper
brett, you need some cheese to go with that whine of yours?
lol :D
News Headlines across the world ...."This just in.. brett thinks he's got skills...."
(crowd laughter)
Yes thats wright it is i says me. the NBK IM Back i was playing halo2 but i will be back on for this releas

Well dont get yourself all excited Silent-Bad_Breath and finish that Hooked on Phonics tape before you go posting to the boards. :D
Theres a lot of: Probablys, What IF's, Couldve been , Shouldve been.. but in the end its always brett and silent-bad-breath getting owned.
Silent_bad_breath feels bad for brett, because silent sucks too .. they should get together and start a [W.S] clan tag .. for "We Suck!"..
muwahahah!
I have to make this short.. I wanna spend time laughing :D
hey Silent_bad_breath = "...nice try..."
hear that often?
and by the way S!lent~Bad~Breath
quit tryin to copy the way I make my name .
You can be a fan,... but you cant be the ~H!TMAN~
:D muwahaha
socom II --> LAG!
Socom 3 with bigger maps, vehicles, more weapons and so on and so on ---> *scared of the idea already*
Back tot basic Socom I with better graphics, better equal weapons and no rank, that's all I want..
i heard 1 player is awesome, n u can drive boats n hummers n other stuff, and 1 player has been focased on more than ever this game.
wat about all the lag machines
