One must be careful in star allotment; having the option of choosing between more stars (say out of 10) may be more precise (than the current 5), but is not necessarily more accurate.

The headset works extremely well; highly recommended.

Great demo.  Aside from the unique gameplay the title offers, the graphics/colour palate are such a welcome change from the copious drab grey-brown games I have been playing.

Officially official - (via IGN)

The new MacBooks now have better integrated graphics (NVidia GeForce 9400M) than their predicessors, however, I don't know if I'd want to game on it - always depends what you want to play I guess.  That being said, hardware 3D acceleration is supported under Bootcamp.

From the SOCOM website:

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.

For players who have already downloaded and installed the 1.10 update, the 1.20 update is only ~50MB in size.  For new players, the size is the 1.10 update plus the 1.20 update which is ~550MB.

The main purpose of this update is to address major stability and playability issues with the game.  The stability of the game has been greatly improved with the 1.20 update.  There are still a few low frequency issues which we are continuing to look into and will be addressed in a future update.

We are reading player feedback in the forums and will be making future changes to the game based on that feedback.  Please keep the feedback coming.

Regards,

SOCOM: Confrontation Online Team

Hey folks,

The Trophy patch is apparently out in Europe now.

In about a week I will be leaving for month (for work/vacation) and will not have access to my PS3 during that time.  I'd like to eventually get both Warhawk and PJ Eden, however, I'm wondering if the learning curve to Warhawk makes it pointless to play it for a few days and then leave it for a month or so.  Would it be better to just leave it until I return and grab PJ Eden for the time being? 

Apparently the trophy patch is ready to go and its release is imminent.  Could we see it before August 22nd?
