Transparant scoreboard

Well the patch isn't ready yet, but coming. For now Slant Six has teased us with a video of one of the new changes, the transparent scoreboard that allows you to move while viewing it (like old SOCOMs).

Pretty damn impressive for an online-only game. The doubters that thought this game didn't have pull can now go eat crow :).

Sloooww news, busy, etc

Hey ya'll,

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Been so busy with so many different things, I barely have time to even turn on my PS3.

I really appreciate all the emails and blog comments I've gotten from all the SOCOM fans out there. You seem to love the blog and I definitely want to keep it up. If there was more to post I would :p.

And YES, I know, me and Hellman still haven't recorded our review podcast. It will come one day, I just don't know when.

So are you still loving SOCOM? Any things you want changed/added to the game (apart from the obvious trophies & party system)?

And ya, I'm well aware of the Q&A that was done on SOCOM.com. Specifically the answer to this question:

Why can't we join a game in progress from our friend's list or clan list?

While this was a feature of previous SOCOM games, this was never announced to be a feature for SOCOM: Confrontation. We do realize that it is a highly desired feature and we are looking to see what can be done to add it. No promises, but it is something we want to add.

I mean, how ridiculous is that answer? So because it wasn't promised before we shouldn't expect a feature that SHOULD be in every online game, to be in SOCOM Confrontation?

Like, come on.

1up re-reviews Confrontation. Gives it a B+

Sorry I'm late with this info, I was away all weekend. But its worth mentioning none the less. Since Confrontation has been working a lot better, 1up decided to re-review it as they had previously promised. The result? An entire grade higher, as it comes away with a very excellent B+ grade.

Check out the new review here.
