There is a big rumble on the web on, how such a Big Title cannot have any Reviews available.

I'll be buying it. If anything, I'll get a nice BT headset out of it. I really do hope they managed to fix the lag...the beta was pretty pathetic. I have to give it to Slant 6 though...they released six patches for the beta, most of which were to address issues brought up by actual players. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come and they'll support the game a lot better than Zipper ever did.
As for reviews, I would imagine you'll start seeing them in the upcoming days. SOCOM isn't like a normal game where sites get review copies weeks ahead of time.
I'll let you all know how it is on/after the 16th. I have to wait until then to get the headset version in store.

Maybe the game sucks so they didnt let nobody review it until it drops. Thats when you can tell if a game sucks right there. Time will tell

Bama" DING DING! You hit the nail on the head, They had reviews available when the older Socoms came out. So why not now even gaming sites are asking for the reviews.

Pretty hard to review an online only game when the servers aren't live. Go look at the review date for Warhawk on IGN. I'll save you the trouble, it's August 28, 2007...the same day it was released.
Who knows, maybe the game does suck...but you guys read WAAAAAY too much into shit, lol.

Well the servers should be up if the game is to be out today or tommorow. The movie industry does the same thing no early reviews so it doesn't hurt sales. If they are laggy servers that could keep people from buying game. I just think we are keeping it real, We have been burnt before. I hope the game works out well and i can play Socom again. But look at the track record, not that impressive. I have the same view on waiting for reviews for Gears 2, If the multiplayer is still buggy especially the host prob, I will rent for single player and not do any Multiplayer just like I did for the first one.

I bought it, the headset is cool. Haven't played yet though PS3 had an update, right now I'm downloading the damn game, then apparently the game already has an update too. And this is exactly why I have no desire to buy many games on the PS3, takes like an hour before you can play them.

I went to 5 different stores last night before finally finding it at an EB Games. The install didn't take too long, but d-loading the patch was ridiculously slow. Could have something to do with everyone trying to get it at the same time.
After 2 hours of installing, patching, and customizing my character/loadouts, I decided to play an actual round...of course that was around the time the servers went down due to the "tremendous launch of SOCOM: Confrontation".
From what I've been reading, when the game actually works, it's awesome. The beta lag is non-existent. I'll be the judge of that...if it's working when I get home from work tonight.

LMAO..... I like how your trying to back them guys up and saying "The servers went down due to the "tremendous launch of SOCOM: Confrontation". LMAO How do you release a game and the exact same day you release it you cant even play it. WTF is that ? If I paid $60 got home and couldnt even play it, I would take that shit back to the store.
That has to be the end of it right there man. Thats pathetic!

Got this from the IGN message borads. Thought it was hilarious.
am i going to be forced to kill myself over socom?... possibly.... here's why......
1. horrible beta experience (in since day one, only 3 hrs of good gameplay) 2. buy game day late b/c of gamestop (weak) 3. download fw 2.50 (simple enough) 4. install game data? wack 5. install SOCOM 1.10 (probably some wack ass patch that will freeze my shit) 6. deal w/ "corrupt data" message 7. get "disconnected" prompt and join game failure 8. play one game (really long, map gorgeous) and i was MVP! (excited) 9. get "Network Initiation Failed" (presently) 10. kill self (after destroying ps3)
on a plus side, the headset is REALLY good. maybe ill request to be BURIED with it after i blow my brains out

Those were the exact words from Slant Six's mouth. socom.us.playstation.com/post/2008/10/UPDATE.aspxWhat I don't understand is why they don't just call up the boys at Incognito (Warhawk) or Insomniac (Resistance) and ask them how the hell to make an online game. The framework exists, so why are there still problems?
