That Gaming Site (TGS) has written an article about the new PS3 exclusive
Sony revealed it's new online game by Zipper at E3 earlier this week and it's gotten us pretty excited. So far we know this,
Online battles support 256 real people
All people divided into groups of 8
Each squad will have a leader determined through the game ranking system
So they are the main facts. what we would like to see though are these,
When communicating with people, there should be an option for a box to pop up in the top right that will display their image through PS eye. This will make chatting seem more fun. If speaking to multiple people at the same time, you should be able to toggle which PS eye you watch.

We noticed that there was vehicles on the trailer. How about in game music played through the vehicle radio? Imagine having a squad in the back of your vehicle allowing them to listen to the music you selected through your XMB.
LOL? great idea but this is not "Grease" its War

2 - with 128 people on one team
I wonder how big clans are. I bet everyone in US will be in one clan and everyone is europe in another. its war after all
I have faith that this game will rock and zipper will deliver. so my only wish is for them to change the name. its ok as it is but it could be better
resistance 2 also has squads and huge numbers of players if resistance turns out great, MAG will take it to the next level. if there are some problems with people not sticking with their squad, then they can learn from resistance 2 R2 will test the waters for tru massive online shoters

It would be hard to get into a good clan if they only contain 8 players. Most people would just build their own and see what happens wouldnt they. Break out country wars!

If you count MMO's on a console then yes, actually their was this one game on the original Xbox, I think Delta force that had a insane number of players online per game, I think it was like 56 or something.

-in-game music (no doubt it will be there since sony developing it)
-lots of dedicated server
-lag-free matches
-tons of vehicles
-bandwidth check like on Warhawk to see how many player can be in your room (if you can host)
-ability to choose wich shooter mode (Over the shoulder, FP,3rd person)
-ability to use PS Eye
-character custamization
-vehicle customization
-weopon customization
-trophies
-clan battle option in lobby. Get with your clan and choose this selection to fight with another clan.
-glitch free as possible
-blood
-party
- good communication.
- earn extra XP for doing correct objective. This may help each squad to work as a team.

-unlockable for each ranks.
-mybe an armor systym like in RSV1 and 2 but have it so it is not to hard to take down an enemy and not to easy
-dog tags
-in-game buddy list like Resistance one
-random respond. Or base respond depending on how big the maps are. If there to small then random respond but if there big enough then base respond.
-5-10sec invisibilitie incase spawn camp
-medal system like resistance fall of man 1
-private match mode
-tons of different game modes. perhaps take idea from COD4, Counter Strike, RSV.
-Clan learder Board. I think it would be great to be able to set up clan wars withen the game instead of popularr sites like game battles. Perhaps have the option to send a clan battle invite from withe in the game and the learder board can keep track of eacj clan and show who is the best clan out there.

-explosive environment
-maybe a cover system of some kind
- make headshot accurate. OMG i can not tell you how many times in so many shooter games have i shot someone in the head and they not die. COD4: walk up to someone with a pistol and try to headshot them. sometimes they die and sometimes it takes more then one shot.
-Maybe lots of blood. I don't know but i want to be able to shoot someone and see something get torn off. Camping around with my sniper rifle and all of a sudden i see one guy running around and hiding ready to kill one of my teammate. I aim for his head and boom, it gone right off of there necks.
-add some gadgets. You know binoculars,night vision, heat vision, ECTs.
-speaking of night vision when was the last time a game that i played a game with them where they were actually useful?
COD4: i'm sorry but what is the main point of them online? i mean from time to time they can be useful but do you need them for any map? i mean i think it would be great to make a map that has really dark areas. like be able to walk into a building and go into a basement sweeping for an enemy where it is completely dark.
- Great graphics. seeing that there will be 256 player in a room this is the first in console for FPS (itmay be the first ever idk) but knowing that im hoping the graphic are great and dont get torn up or something when there are to many peiople in a room. i honestly think that the dev of the game can pull it off. Hopefully we will see gameplay sometime in the future.
___________BETA- this game will def. need a beta, open beta or at least do wat MGS4 did reserve the game and get a beta code

I guess so but they will need a lot of servers then, plus those servers will need a ton of maintenance. This seems like a costly adventure for Sony.

Well,I like the 8 member squad I dea,I'd love to see 128 v 128 team deathmatches too,now that would be war,just imagine that,I mean even if it was 100 v 100,just an example [if there are less than 256 people in a lobby]
And finally,I just wish the online would be lag free,I trust zipper and sony,what do you guys think?

The graphics would be worse then Warhawk dude, unless the game is divided into different segments. Their would be a huge load on the system to keep track of all thats going and keep a constant frame rate without sacrificing graphics.

I think so, but you only get a person's dog tag if you knife them. Although I don't know the significance of them, maybe they're used to unlock new weapons?

My wish list,raher simple really is..
Only your squad can comunicate with eachother.
Only the squad leader/Radio man can comunicate with other squads
let there be a huge variety in vehicles
let the maps be insanely huge.
And let there be an online map which you can use to tell other squads where you need reinforcements,or air support etc.
With that in mind,that would be the greatest game i've ever played.

i agree that's exactly what i was hoping for it to be, also i would like it if making a squad will give you incentives to use all different weapons, like one guy carries the rocket, one the sniper, machine gun, rifle, etc. not exactly like that, i think we need more than one weapon but you know

My wishlist:
1). Ground breaking new Modes.
2). 256 player Death matches:D
3). 32 teams consisting 8 players each, battling the hell out of each other.
4). Killzone 2 level visuals.
5). Tutorial bots mode. Not 256 players. But atleast there should be tutorial levels where you can have 8-10 bots so you can get used to the vehicles, shooting mechanics etc.
6). Class system, that can be changed on the fly.
7). Insane amount of weapons and vehicle types.
8). Jets + Dog fights:D
9). Fast paced action.
10). Gore should be upped till 11, you can blow off limbs and crush skulls:D

I'm actually excited for this.It would allow the PS3 to have an online identity of its own apart from PC and 360.A true online community that the guys that created SOCOM could not have imagined.
