20 More Leaked Images + New Info from Socom Confrontation Beta

Hello everyone the member from PlayStation Underground have contacted me again, sending me some info and a bunch of new images of the lobby system, loading screens, loadouts, attachments and face paint. I hope that you enjoy it

Q - Hows the game overall? What Socom of the series can it best be compared to?
A - It's a good mix of Socom 1 and Socom 2.


Q - Are there any new surprises that many of us might not know yet about?
A - Perhaps, if there are I can't think of any right now.


Q - How is the stafeing?
A - It's not over the top speedy as Socom 2 was, thats for sure. It's not turtle slow either, it can be worth doing in certain situations.


Q - How does the clan system work?
A - Not included in beta.

Q - How does the rank system work?
A - Not included in beta.

Q - How does the friend system work?
A- Not included in beta.

Q - Hows the knife?
A- I think most of you will like the knife. I haven't seen or killed anyone from the front, and if you're sneaking up behind them you're taking a risk of them turning around and blowing your head off, trust me haha first hand experience.


Q - Six-axis Leaning - First impressions? How practical? Good or bad?
A - It's alright, I use it more to duck, or to stand rather than leaning. Chances of me using it a lot for leaning purposes are slim.

Q - How many types of camo are there, and if possible what kinds?
A - In the beta there is a good amount, solid colors, patterns, etc.


Q - Any guns we don't know about? SR-25 SD?
A - The beta didn't include every single gun in the game, so your guess is as good as mine.


Q - How many people were online the last time you were on?
A - It's usually around 20 or so people on at the same time. I heard a very small number of invites went out (50?). Don't know about more invites.


Q - Can you get some pics of the lobby system, loading screens, loadouts, attachments, face paint etc PLEASE!?
A - Yeah I included some.

Q - How's the bullet spray compared to that of s1 & 2?
A - The bullets do not spray as they did in Socom 3 / CA. You really get the feeling that you're playing Socom 1 and 2 again during gunfights.

Q - How many hits does it take to kill you with Light, Med, Heavy armor on?
A - Haven't personally tested it but a rough estimate would be 2-3 for light, 3-4 for medium, 4-5 for heavy. You also have to take into consideration your guns power. Obviously an F90 isn't going to be as effective as, say an M60.


Q - What types of weapons can silencers be put on?
A - The typical. No silencers on M60s or M14s or M16s etc etc.

Q - Any final comments to share with us?
A - The game has a lot of potential. It's nothing like Socom 3 or CA. I actually enjoy playing it again, everything is looking very promising guys. Enjoy the wait =P
