SOCOM: Confrontation
Here Is What The Socom Team Had to Say About The Level Destruction In The Game:
Anyway, one thing I like about the new maps is just how destructible they are. Crossroads has the two arches, which I'm sure you've seen at this point, but Urban Wasteland and Fallen have a few spots that are wired too blow once triggered.
Urban Wasteland has two spots. There is an elevated walkway that connects the central skyscraper and the building across the street. It provides an easy way for Mercs to make their way into the central structure of the map while avoiding the carnage down on the ground. However, a flip of a switch wrecks the walkway, forcing the Mercs to find another route.
This doesn't unbalance the map, though. The Commandos don't have an elevated path, but they have the next best thing-- an underground route. This route leads into the parking garage under the skyscraper... but it can also be blown to bits, blocking the path until the end of the match.
Fallen has a total of four bridges, two per side. The larger wooden bridge is the main path to the central ruins for each team, and a smaller stone bridge provides an alternate path. The stone bridges are obviously ready to explode. There is dynamite placed at certain stress points on the bridges, and the flip of a switch sets it off.
The top floor of the central tower in Kasbah also has a couple of detonators. These detonators trigger the explosion of a tower in either spawn point, which makes it tougher for players to snipe the tower from home base.

SOCOM: Confrontation
The patch will include these fixes (more after the jump)
The SOCOM Confrontation 1.40 patch addresses the following issues:
* Fixed an issue which was causing an abnormally large number of simultaneous kills.
* Optimized the Armory so that selecting weapons, attachments and general menu navigation are much faster.
* Fixed another issue where you could get stuck in spectator cam when late joining a game.
* Fixed an issue where occasionally late joiners would have very low framerate and crash when exiting a game.
* Fixed an issue where occasionally late joiners would have no audio.
* Statistics improvements. Statistics are now being tracked at the team level and not the player level. This will ensure stats are tracked for dropped and late joining players.
* Further improved load times for late joiners.
* Fixed several stability issues.
The following changes were made based on user feedback:
* Added new burst firing accuracy tuning when moving. You are now more accurate for the initial burst while moving but accuracy deteriorates as you continue to fire more shots.
* Scopes are now accurate.
* The select screen scoreboard is now exited by pressing the select button.
* Improved tiebreaker rules.
* New HUD animation to indicate when you are reloading.
* Crosshairs now turn grey when your magazine is empty.

SOCOM: Confrontation
Frank Caron writes: "The first of what will likely be many patches has already gone live today. Of course, it is a beta for a reason. Thankfully, looking past those issues, SOCOM proves to be a solid third-person shooter with some great community features. Warhawk has long been the standard for organized multiplayer on the PlayStation 3, but it appears that the title will quickly be passed to SOCOM when the game launches. Even in beta, a number of key improvements already trump Incognito's excellent title.
For one, voice chat in the beta has been surprisingly excellent. The new official PS3 headsets come with a special high quality mode that SOCOM will take advantage of, but even without them the voice chat is higher quality than any other PS3 titles. Given that the game is so highly tactical and team-oriented, this is good news.
The clan options are also significantly more robust. An integrated clan calendar allows clan leaders to create scheduled events which are pushed out to all members of the clan. These events range from tournaments to clan matches and even open invitationals. Clan leaders can also interact with other clan leaders to set up events for all the clan members involved."

SOCOM: Confrontation
It seems to be an unfortunate trend of modern online gaming - last week it was Spore, and now it's Socom: Confrontation that has been plagued with online server issues. Do these people not see it coming?
This, of course, has made performance of the currently-running public online beta less than desirable, but developer Slant Six Games is on the case.
"Due to overwhelming demand for the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Public Beta, we are experiencing load related issues. These issues are causing abnormal latency, disconnects, long load times, login errors and community features such as clans and stats not functioning correctly (or at all)," it posted on its official site today.

We are doing everything we can to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and you should see some improvements progressively over the next couple of days. However, we do not expect to have the issues completely resolved until close to the end of next week.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

Shijina on the UK Playstation forums writes:
"Hi all,
Well, as I'm sure you're all aware, today is SOCOM d-day!
The good news is that we have everything set-up and ready to go once people start getting their voucher codes. The only slightly bad news in all of this is that there was some confusion over getting voucher codes to people in this forum, so we're a little behind on that one and I am working on it as a priority! I can't promise you will all get codes today, but please be patient as you WILL be getting a code soon, hopefully Monday at the latest. Incidentally I had them salvage the list you all put together once it became obvious there was a problem emailing you all, so every name on that list will get a code, providing the account name was valid.
Here is the territory distribution breakdown as I currently know it:
UK: Eurogamer
Scandi/Spain/Australia/NZ: Pre-order scheme (retailer unknown)
Germany: Delayed, pending age-rating approval by USK. (Note: Codes for Germany Austria & Switzerland will be distributed through the PlayStationLiga once they're ready.)
All others: Email distribution from Central Marketing.
Beta trialists: Specific email invite.
I enquired as to how Marketing will be emailing people and apparently they have a central database of ALL registered EU PSN accounts. From this database they have been able to cross-reference people who were registered on old SOCOM sites, or who have expressed an interest in SOCOM games and shooters through surveys (see the importance of filling those in now kids?), or who have spent a lot of money on the PSN store in the past. These emails should start going out around 4pm today...
As for the download itself, you can download and install it on up to 5 different PS3s, but they will all be locked to the account used to download the file, which means ...
