Socom Update

-by Jeff Gerstmann

 

SOCOM was updated to version 1.20 this morning, and the official SOCOM site lists these changes:

 

* 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.

I'm currently doing a pretty good job of pretending this game never came out.

 

This will be a 550MB patch for people running any version older than 1.10. If you already got the monster 1.10 update, then you'll be downloading another 50MB or so for the upgrade.

 

I've been thinking of the best way to handle reviews of these games. If I had written a review of SOCOM last week, for example, I would have given it one star. If our score went to zero, I'd try to give it that. Why? Because it wasn't even a game. It was a $40 title screen. Rather than write a review that doesn't do anyone any good, I wrote an article or two about the status of the servers, figuring that would hopefully keep people from running out and buying the game before it gets fixed.

Well to be frank its not as bad as IGN described, if you want a true hands on review read my earlier post, I feel its still a great shooter at heart.

 

BTW I don't think so with a 128kpbs connection you can get to play this game, a minimum of 256kpbs as there is a lot of chatting involved (I cant play on my reliance 600kpbs connection coz the upload is pretty bad on the same 64kbps) I use my BSNL broadband line to play this game which again has a good upload speed.
