Seth Luisi, SOCOM.com:

"We are happy to announce that the SOCOM: Confrontation 1.20 Update will be released on Wednesday, October 29th, at 1200 GMT/UTC (8am EDT, 5am PDT, 1pm BST, 9pm JST).

The SOCOM: Confrontation 1.20 update addresses the following issues:

- Fixed many issues which would cause the game to crash, hang, disconnect and exit to the PS3 XMB.
- Fixed an issue which would cause large numbers of players in a high player count game to be simultaneously disconnected.
- Fixed an issue which would cause players to be invincible.
- Fixed a physics issue which would cause players to occasionally "warp" around on the map.
- Fixed an issue where a "corrupt save data" message would be incorrectly displayed after updating the game.
- Fixed some player model issues related to team swapping.
- Client/server optimization.
- Fixed an issue where the scope camera had an incorrect offset from the barrel of the gun while prone or leaning/peeking."

1.1 - Ok so you have to played the awesome games that are LBP and Resistance 2?
Socom is not the only PS3 game...

Only sony can do 60 players online with no issues...just because the socom code was broke...and they rushed the game does not mean sony was bad...they had to get socom out before LBP and R2 and Gears 2 game out or it would have been lost in the crowd.

Killzone 2 will have no competition next year...

lol, so you're angry at that fact that due to demand servers couldn't handle the number of people at once? What do you think happened with World of Warcraft at launch? This tends to happen with online only games servers can become bottlenecks due to demand.

Anything Sony exclusive is blown out of proportion yet the same thing happens to the PC platform many times no one says anything. At the same time World of Warcraft is known as the best role playing online game to date.

EFFORT?

...What is wrong with you people? You should be grateful that they're fixing the issues, not bashing the hell out of Sony and the PS3. True, these issues shouldn't have existed but c'mon, enough is enough!

This is good for Socom players who had issues with the game.

WOW!!! That's a lot of fixes! This game should've been delayed.. I guess Sony's Quality Control isn't getting paid that much to let this game through...

That server demand crap is bogus. Features promised were absent from the game. This game is still in beta phase and they are slowly building up to release via updates. Its reasonable since its online only and thus everyone has access to the updates but regardless they could have tried a little harder

Hey, Americans with Socom, could you please look at the back of your case for me and tell me what region code is on it.
Can I play the U.S version of Socom in E.U?

Please reply asap!

Waiting a couple weeks for them to work out the bugs left by the devs makes no difference to me. It is going to be great to get back into SOCOM and in HD no less. Good times are upon us this season!

Sadly, yes there were/are quite a few bugs. fortunately i go to sleep late.

a lot of the issues arent there when the server doesnt have as much traffic. after 11pm eastern for me

so i play at night and really have a great time. but yeah outside of that the patch is needed.

cant wait.

MGS4 alone is worth buying a PS3 for. My opinion.

claney - 419 days 8 hours ago
8.2 - YES
Once they severs are fixed it will be a game to buy a PS3 for it was the main online game in the PS2 days because it was so addictive and fair, the maps were even or made look even by their layout and the objective, and overall it is one of the best shooters i have ever played because or all that and no lag! and the team work involved was awesome because you barley got any 6 yr old kids trying to run and gun and always abuse the mics (usually voted haha)

If your a SOCOM fan you may be slightly disappointed. Get REsistance Fall of Man 2 or Metal Gear Solid 4.

If you were a big Socom fan on the PS2 then yes it's worth getting a PS3 for this game.

If you love Tatical shooters also you wont find ne thing better or more intense on ne system than Confrontation...

abd plz dont be fooled by everyone saying the game is unplayable and filled with glitches/bugs.....yes they exist in the game but it's mainly server probs which will be resolved pretty soon

Resistance Fall of Man 2 30v30 multiplayer is the largest multiplayer title on the PS3 this holiday season.

I was talking about last gen a time when Resistance didn't exist.and more people doesn't necessarily make a game better.look at this game 8v8>>16v16.

10 - If it ain't made by Zipper Int., then whats the point
I played the heck out of the beta and the gameplay didn't feel like it arrived and fact that things didn't get progressively better didn't help.

Just in time when im off on wednesday's. I been enjoying SOCRACK since day one and servers has improved dramaticly eventhough their has been little issues here and there but its not really that big of a deal. I still have a blast playing it.

im looking forward to how well this patch will change the game and what the future holds. Hopefully these fast updates isnt just to fix the launch day issues and thats it for a few months. Im looking forward to see if this team is really dedicated to the socom series and its fans especially when Socom is one of the greatest and most popular PS2 online titles. I have a lot of faith that this team has pulled things together to keep everyone happy with this title compared to what they have done to the last two PS2 titles.

The glitches are aplenty but i am still surprised of th amount of people logged on to the game despite them. Every time i log on its there are like 10s of server filled at capacity.

16 - I was hopeing for a little more socom2 but it's got more of socom 3
I don't like the armor setup. I think everyone should be able to move at the same speed and same damage resistance. I never been a fan of that style of shooters due to lag issues on multiplayer games. I was hoping more style of socom2 gameplay. Socom confrontation is okay but it's not going to be as hugh as it could of been if zipper would of made the game (socom2 style gameplay)

LOL, yep.. one hell of a patch for something that they had tons of time to work on and fix.

The entire beta process was a failure. They learned nothing they should have and did nothing to improve any of the problems. The beta experience started out laggy as hell, got better, then got really laggy, then things that worked stopped working and I gave up.

The actual game has a constant lag every 10 seconds which lasts for 1-2 seconds and ruins the gameplay. The sound still has tons of issues (goes in and out, sometimes echoes for no reason, sometimes gun shot sounds keep chattering even after you stop shooting).

I am one of the people that is a fan and really wanted to enjoy the game. I bought it day 1 and haven't wanted to play it since.

Patch smatch, they can keep their filthy update.

20 - I got my fingers crossed.
socrack is back & im itching to get some of the pink mist!
Green the f**k up!

Sony server reputation is hard at work!

Socom is the very best tactical game ever made! Confrontation
Will soon be better than socom 2. Qoute me on that! Its a wrap.

21 - for those calling for zipper listen up!
you got no clue what you're talking about. None. If zipper made this game there wouldn't be a patch for 3 months & the socom community wouldn't get updates at all. Zipper made socom 2. It was ruined by glitchers & cheaters what did zipper do? Nothing. Then they brought out socom 3 with vehicles. Do you know what happens when you miss your ride? Socom is still alive because it was built on a honor system for clans. Thou shalt not cheat. Zipper is bringing thier true vision of socom 3 to life with mag.

Socom navy seals is a different breed. Intended to be played with no respawns, strong team support & lightning quick encounters. Strategy is key. In & out. Hooooo fking Yaaaah!

This aint no kids game.

This game play exactly like a third person version of CS. The only thing missing is the buy menu at spawn and the DE/AWP whores.
