SOCOM II

I'm getting it, and I am a decent sniper....

And trust me, if you have played the original SOCOM, you know that there is some CRAZY lag... Just watch me if I play at nighttime. I have broadband, but at nighttime it is SHIET...

broadband only is good, would be better if the rest of the world had it tho. sux for thoes without broadband *points and laughs*

but no lag cuz its broadband is a VERY common misconseption. Dial up users DO NOT create lag. actually many can hang with high speed users as long as its stable. A stable 200 ping can sometimes be better then a unstable 50. Lag all depends on how far you are from the server, plain and simple. You can have a high speed connection, but if your too far away you WILL ping as a dial user would.

And about cheating, lol. it will be no cheating for a while. Are you new to online games? there will ALWAYS be cheaters. you can never stop it. Just wait till next gen with the hard drives and when Online games for consoles really take off with new downloads and stuff. You gunna see cheating even worse.

There are only ways to slow down, deter cheating. Never stop it completely, Someone will always find a way.

Yeah, I know about the cheating. People (assholes) eventually find a way to do it, but I heard Sony will ban each one that does, like how Blizzard banned all those Diable 2 accounts. It will be much harder is what I am trying to say. There probably won't ever be a online game with no cheating, but at least the security is much better than the first SOCOM where as you can just use a Gameshark and start owning everyone.

Comes out tomorrow~!~! But I gotta **** load of homework due on Thursday, so I doubt I will be playing it for no more than an hour tomorrow night. Oh well!

still unsure if im getting it. Console shooters arent really my thing cuz of the poor control. But im thinkin about it just for something differnt to do.

Well, I just got it. It is pretty damn good! I only had about 20 mins of good playing time though, because my internet sucks the big one after 430pm.

Good game
