A little SOCOM 2 info.....

[SS]SportoFu · 09-16-2003

Confirmed by Electronic Gaming Monthly Magazine (October 2003 | egm.gamers.com )

Overall:
* "Iris Effect" (walking from dark areas to light areas and vice versa causing a change in brightness).
* Several new Weapon Classes (accessable online): Rocket Launchers, AP mines (pressure/remote), and shotguns (from pump to full-auto).
* Reload/Fire-mode issue addressed.
* Instant "drop-down" command by holding the stance button.
* Voice actors include bigger names (such as Michael Clarke Duncan ).
* Enhanced visual mapping and texturing (even the online maps got a touch-up).

Single Player:
* Vastly Improved Ally/Enemy A.I. (some of it modeled after SOCOM online Gamers' strategies).
* Boomer's been fired.
* Several new voice commands (overwatch for example), and up to ten secret commands.
* British SAS and Russian Spetznaz will tag along on some missions.
* Efforts in a mission affect future missions, change enemy rosters, and alter enemy A.I. in such missions.
* 12 missions in Albania, Algeria, Brazil, Russia, one being at sea.
* 40 unique new characters.
* Take on various vehicles, including a plane and tank (thank god for RPGs).

Online:
* LAN Support.
* Voice Masking (as in altering your voice) and muting (yay, no more annoying brats!)
* Name display for who's talking.
* Victory dances (flips, breakdancing, and... yes.. I mean this... the Macarena).
* Turrets (some with thermals).
* GLs allowed (all propelled grenades will have a short delay from fire to arming to prevent short-range hits).
* Impoved anti-hacking measures.
* Custom loadouts (armory setups) for each map.
* Female character models.
* Spectator mode (max: 8).
* Improved "Rank" ranking system, keeping veteran players from facing off with newbies, and more information tracked.
* Friends/Ignore lists.
* Two new modes (Breach and escort - from what I gathered the breach mode will allow air-strikes).
* Weapon list editing (i.e. snipers only, hg's only, etc) and respawning option for supression games (yes, this was stated).
* Enhanced original 10 maps and 12 additional new maps.
* Voice chat in pre-game lobbies.

[SS]Raiden · 09-16-2003

countdown till beta testing starts now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[SS]Cuervo · 09-16-2003

hrmm...
AP mines (pressure/remote), ... oh yes... watch the fuk out!

[SS]Cuervo · 09-16-2003

uh oh..
"respawning option for supression games" hrrmmm sound like the rest of the counterstrike type games online now.. we can hear Raiden say "FUK.. Code Breaker!!!" more than once a round

[SS]Deadeye-R · 09-16-2003

I hope you can shut the respawning thing off if you chose to do so. That could get quite annoying if cheating does ever make it into SOCOM II.

[SS]Cuervo · 09-16-2003

Im sure it will work like other online PC games.. where the admin of the server/room has controls of the room settings at any time

[SS]SportoFu · 09-16-2003

Hopefully like Ghost Recon on x-box......you can set it on, off, or adjust the amount of spawns, etc.....

=D//R=SkyHawk · 09-16-2003

Go Russian Spetznaz ! lol

By the way whats with Boomer??? Why is it such a deal that he'f fired??

Impoved anti-hacking measures, i hope that would keep all the cheaters out for a long time.

Cant wait when SOOCM II is out, i already preordered mine in June.

[SS]Snakebite · 09-16-2003

Nice info Sport, now I need some paper towels to wipe the drool from my mouth.

JESS7 · 09-16-2003

Are you sure that's drool, Snake?!?

oooo, now that was mean! I am sorry, sweetie. I couldn't resist. You know how it is. I love you anyway! ;)

[SS]Raiden · 09-16-2003

according to inside sources Boomer will be retiring to his hometown mall as a Security Officer

[SS]Steve-O · 09-16-2003

If you have ever played the actual game(singles mode[NOT ONLINE]{YES THERE IS MORE TO SOCOM THEN ONLINE PLAY}) you will know why Boomer was such a retard. You can tell him to stay put 3,4,5 even 6 times. But he still has to get his freaking ass up and follow you. Not to mention if he sees someone and your trying to sneak around he will start shooting at them, alerting a few more gaurds making life very difficult.

With all due respect to single player gaming......Just a little single player info & forgive me if I get LOUD!!! BOOMER'S MISSION IS TO STICK WITH KAHUNA, HE IS PROGRAMMED TO STAY NO MORE THAN A CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM YOU. Whew I said it there. He cannot "Stay or hold position", but yur right the focker is retarded because most times all he does is translates enemy intel, but DOESNT FIRE HIS DAMN WEAPONS AND GETS KILLED ALL THE FOCKING TIME then he cant translate, so he is useless AND NOW DEAD!!!! He deserves to be a Rent-a-Cop. Good ridance ya bastage

Oh sorry for the ranting, oh yeah SOCOM II......... is gonna rock....@least until this Christmas kills it like last Christmas killed SOCOM I. ha ha ha ha

[SS]Steve-O · 09-17-2003

That is when I got Socom 1 is in christmas. I didn' leave the T.V. for like 3 months. Then things started falling apart and kinda just dropped it.
