Word on the street is the beta blows. Given that the previous SOCOM betas were terrible too, I can't say I'm surprised. I guess I'll see for myself in a few hours.

Now, I only played it all day saturday and haven't had a chance since, here are my thoughts.
The beta is a bit impressive, It seems that they have done a lot to make up for tall the zipper shittyness after socom 2. I wish they would have brought the game back to 8v8 but they thought otherwise. The map is pretty fucking huge, there are so many places to hide it's fucking ridiculous. Playing with allied members again was fun and made the game a bit more fun. we did experience some load time issues and some mic fuckery (prolly my mic as batery was dying) but the overall ingame experience was pretty good (way less issues than socom 2 and socom 3 beta's).
There are gripes tho,
Sometimes we wait for minutes on end for the game to start and you don't know if your stuck or it it's still loading.
I usually lean to the side when i play and so is my controller, in the game if the controller is leaned to the side, your character also leans to the side. I can't deal with that as I then have to correct the controller to move, i hate it and it can also get you killed. The button layout is a bit different, it seems they like changing the buttons all the fucking time instead of leaving it the way it used to be, but, oh well i guess those who buy it will get used to it.
The guns do have a bit more recoil but i believe they are fixing that.
Sniping may be the same way it was in socom 1 and 2 but i now hate it since I keep thinking its like COD4 where I can hold my breathe. Maybe the functionality is there and I just haven't found it.
The hit detections seems to be very good, although i did experience some times where i would shoot someone in the back and he would just turn around and shoot me (joker, u fool, you should have just died)..
They did add the ability to cut a motherfucker up with a knife a la COD4. Pretty good as there where a couple time I found my self in very close combat with no fucking bullets,, slice away, won 3 of 5 of these types of battles.
There is more I want to add but I would have to play the game more just so that I can be fair in the review. I do need to get used to the controller before I can complain about other things..
It was good playing with the crew again.
As for rating or buying power (out of 10) I currently would give it a 7. I may change it as I go along and issues are fixed.

I played a bit more yesterday and what bothered me the most was changing weapons. They've moved to that weapon wheel thing, which is fine, but when you bring it up, your character stops moving. Huh?! You're telling me you can't holster your damn gun while you're running?
I'm still not digging encumbrance. You practically have to strip your dude nekkid just so you can run at a decent speed.

thats the weird part, i dont have the beta or a ps3 for that matter, but, seals train in full gear most of the time, and most of them can run just as fast in full gear as when they're in civi's, so they would have to change that.
