SOCOM Confrontation 1.50 Patch and Extension

I don't think that'll be an issue when the real game launches. Everyone who needs a mic will be picking up the bundled version just like on PS2.

im on the same boat as you mate. i choose COD4 on the xbox because of the voice chat. i still think that all ps3 must bring a cheap headset like the x360

I have no idea what you are talking about... I have been playing the Socom beta since it started and every room i been in only about 1 or 2 people did not have any mics.

I think people make a bigger deal out of it than is warranted. At least for SOCOM.

Ya. Once this game launches, you will see people being voted out of rooms if they do not have a mic. it is important.

Voice chat has never worked perfectly on any game I've owned on PS3. I don't remember it being flawless on any PC games either, though it was a lot better. It's not the quality, rather, I can't hear anybody else speaking, yet I can see that they are speaking. This is even if I try to hear them through the TV. The best I get is garbled noise (happens in a lot of games). Sometimes it works, though I've never managed to have a conversation with anyone. This is the fundamental thing that needs to be fixed. I have a headset, and a Playstation Eye to speak through, but I don't use them. There must be many people like me.

The solution would have been to standardize a voice chat system between any number of people, and then get each individual game to just latch onto that. This would enable cross-game chat, universal voice chat options, make it much better optimized and always have proper voice servers. That's not an option now.

I'd rather have limited mics instead of listening to nonstop garbage come through them.

Plus you obviously haven't played the beta, let alone a SOCOM game in the past, sure there are people without mics but it's few and far between.

sorry but he isn't being a fanboy. i own a ps3 and a x360. i play cod4 on live and almost everyone has a headset.
my two friends who have cod4 for ps3 say they play for days without finding another person with a headset. and my experience in various games on psn just corroborate their statements.

we are just stating the facts. ps3 should put in their sku's a cheap headset.

just because some ppl like to troll doesnt make us all troll's or fanboys. we are all players, we play games not consoles. i love all consoles

Yeah you have 2 friends that can not find anyone else on PSN using mics. I highly doubt that. Facts? Don't make me laugh.

I would have to mute most of the players. Too many immature kids.
Why are you making this a big deal? When you find someone using mics and it is SOOOOO important to you, add them to your friends and be done with it.

Obviously you have not played cod on ps3 because I came across many people playing with mics.

Do not assume.

am i not entitled to my opinion ? damn why is that so hard to get that i was just stating my opinnion ? i own both consoles dammit, i buy games for both regularly. i was just saying that live is superior in terms of features and performance. yes psn is free, wich is great. but you get what you pay for.

I infact do own a ps3 and was in the beta for SOCOM. Yes most people do have mics, but most don't actually speak on them and those that do often sound muffled. I use a bluetooth headset for it (one I got with my old phone). I didn't intend my comment to be negative, I was just saying that there needs to be a standardised system. Which sony have announced they are doing in the 2.50 update, High quality mode they are calling it. Although tbh it shouldn't be a mode, it should be standard. I do love my ps3 and I want it to kick the 360's ass but when it comes to in game chat, so far this generation 360 is winning. hopefully not for long though.

Ya but there is still some lag. However, each patch seems to do wonders. I hope they dont create more problems with 1.50
