SOCOM Confrontation Beta Patch 1.4 Incoming

The patch will include these fixes (more after the jump)

The SOCOM Confrontation 1.40 patch addresses the following issues:

* Fixed an issue which was causing an abnormally large number of simultaneous kills.
* Optimized the Armory so that selecting weapons, attachments and general menu navigation are much faster.
* Fixed another issue where you could get stuck in spectator cam when late joining a game.
* Fixed an issue where occasionally late joiners would have very low framerate and crash when exiting a game.
* Fixed an issue where occasionally late joiners would have no audio.
* Statistics improvements. Statistics are now being tracked at the team level and not the player level. This will ensure stats are tracked for dropped and late joining players.
* Further improved load times for late joiners.
* Fixed several stability issues.

The following changes were made based on user feedback:

* Added new burst firing accuracy tuning when moving. You are now more accurate for the initial burst while moving but accuracy deteriorates as you continue to fire more shots.
* Scopes are now accurate.
* The select screen scoreboard is now exited by pressing the select button.
* Improved tiebreaker rules.
* New HUD animation to indicate when you are reloading.
* Crosshairs now turn grey when your magazine is empty.

The game is an automatic buy for me the only thing that would stop me from buying it is if the beta is not fixed before it ends. It has gotten better but hopefully this update will fix alot more stuff. When I get into a game it's fun though.

2 - I hope people realize the importance of betas now
They've been improving this game heavily since the beta started. All due to player opinion and feedback

YESSS! They fixed the menu! That thing was soooo slow. And I love this one:

'The following changes were made based on user feedback'
"Scopes are now accurate"

It could release right now and be another great game. Hell, in its current state it blows Halo 3 away.

6 - This is great news for the fans
Even though it had all of these bugs, I felt like I was one of the many great SOCOM fans to rant their frustrations out. Thanks to that we should have a Warhawk quality(Stability) game. I loved it from the very start but, that was the only thing holding it back. I hope those rumors of Home in October are true, because it would make an excellent addition.

P.S. I also wonder if Slant 6,or Zipper will be making a Home Space. More than likely they will because of its first party status

they will obviously make a home space.

I gave my Beta code to my friend because im not such a socom fan, he is. But its good to know stuff like this is fixed, especially in the Beta right now, which is a critical time to get things done before the actual release date. Socom fans who have been in the Beta are actually doing what they are supposed to do when they are in a Beta, report the problems and your frustrations on the game. It makes the game %100 better i can tell you that, just like the Home Beta im currently in since last year.

Bullet detection were horrible in S2/S3 but the accuracy was where it shined. Accuracy is now horrible in Confrontation, but better with the hit detection than the previous Socoms.

Hopefully this continues and they're able to put out patches this fast once the final release hits the stands. But my guess is that since this is a beta, they're able to get away with pushing patches out the door faster than they can for retail games.

I want hosting restrictions....There are way to many who dont know how to host and these are the games you see consistent low fps.
I have yet to hear about any lag (except joiners/leavers), which are master server issues, in any game I host...connections like 10M d/l + 5M u/l is what you really need to host a solid lag free game

I hope they change that when you look at enemies, their name would be highlighted in red rather than blue like allies. There has been times i would think my ally is an enemy and i'd TK him.

- Simultaneous kills

- Select menu (it's more intuitive to hit select again)

- Faster Armory Menu loading

The rest are nice bonuses
