SOCOM II Clan Unite!

[dasmooth1]

Alright fellas, I think we have enough soldiers on our squad to start getting some games together, maybe even a clan war. Lets use this thread to post available times. I work on the east coast, so i'm available after 8pm on the weekdays. I've seen a couple of you on around that time, so hopefully we can all agree on a time and get together. I'm thinking we can set up a password room, and post the password here.

So hows tonight at 9PM Sound??

[Cornholio]

if you want i can ill get on around 8 pm and see if i see anyone then we can make a passworded room. you can click on that clan thing to see the briefing room were in i can make the password Whoa

seems like a good pass

[dasmooth1]

sounds good, but only if we have more people..otherwise theres no point..

[deadlax]

i can come on at 8 tonight.

[dasmooth1]

i can be on around 8'ish..but thats only 3 of us..lets try to get at least 5-8 people on!!

[cowboy]

I'll jump on at 8 tonight.

[Cornholio]

yeah thats 4 so far then a few more people will see this message and come ill make the room first ill send u guys a message or come to the game your in.

[dasmooth1]

hey corn, maybe you shouldn't do a password then since it will only be like 4 of us, leave it public and we'll hopefully get some other people in there to go up against..make it a new map medley, i love the new maps!

[cowboy]

I'll be on a little later than 8. I'll look for you guys tonight

[Spy021]

I am going to try and get on tonight as well. I've had the privledge of playing with a few members, especially dasmooth1. I should be on sometime around 9:00-9:30.

[cowboy]

join dvd on us east 18

[Cornholio]

yeah i made the room open to public and we got like 10 people but then i left. maybe we can do this tomorrow or whenever im sure everyone would be available friday around 10 pm or 11 right i think that will be a good time to get together and play.

[Spy021]

It was nice to see a handful of members get on tonight. Can't wait until we can do it again. :thumbsup:

[theman1971]

It was cool when it was just us DVD people. We were doing 2 vs. 2 or 3 vs 3. we were talking planning strategies, covering for each other, etc... Maybe if we have non-dvd people in game, we can all get on same team. I don't really care if we're SEALs or Terrorists. I'd like to learn some manuevers and maybe some good choke points on the maps.

[cowboy]

I had a good time last night too. anyone wanna try it again tonight? 8PM or so.

[boston george]

man I wish I didn't work nights, I'm about to get on right now. Anyone at home and wanna catch a few games?

[dasmooth1]

hey fellas, good time last night, too short though..we should definately do it again, i'll be on tonight between 8-9...just 2 things though, i'm not really into playing the old Socom 1 maps, I did that for 1 year, I wanna learn the new maps now, and I hate seals plus i love the automatic shotgun (which only the terrorists have) so 9 out of 10 times i'll be on the terrorist side...but anyhow, lets do it again tonight...

[theman1971]

I think if we want to be good as a clan, we need to be good on both sides. We should practice as T's and as Seals.

Thong

[deadlax]

i agree, this is the first shooter i've ever played on a console online, so i'm still figuring out the aiming controls, but we def need to be good with all sides, different weapons, etc. it's the ONLY way.

[Spy021]

I should be on tonight around 8:00 as well. I played the 1st SOCOM for all of 10 minutes, so all the maps are new to me. I do find that the dark maps are my worst, so I dislike them at the moment. I have no real preference with sides or weapons at the moment, as I'm still trying to find something that I like.

I agree with Thong, if we can't get enough for a 3 vs 3, then we should all jump to one side and work on our strategy.

[dasmooth1]

hahaha..u guys are hardcore!! well, my preference is as a terrorist, just my dark side coming through i guess..but i'll play either side, anyhow it helps to know where the other team starts off and what not...

[theman1971]

Spy021 - For the dark maps, I went into video options and cranked up the brightness level in the game. Even then turning up the brightness on your tv set might help it further. Now I can see just fine on map like Shadow Falls where the rest of the people is complaining about not being able to see anything.

Thong

[dasmooth1]

i usually turn off all my lights or dim them...i think Socom tried to re-create what it would look like if you really were in a jungle at 2am, so in that sense, it really would be that hard to see..but unfortunately, it makes it hard to shoot anyone..u can always crank on the nightvision, or point a falshlight at the screen :)

I did crank up the brightness in the game, which helped a bit. However, it also seems to wash out some of the detail in the daytime maps. So I'll have to find a happy medium.

As for tweaking it further with the brightness control on my TV. I'm a little hesitant, especially after spending so much time with the AVIA disc and getting it tuned properly. It wouldn't be an issue if I could save custom settings on my TV, but no such luck.

[deadlax]

i am getting a bunch of disc read errors today. time to take the ps2 to the vg graveyeard. i'll be on and off.

[Cornholio]

at ebgames you can trade in a broken one and get a refurbished one for 100 bucks.

[Spy021]

Anyone interested in getting a game going around 8 or 8:30 tonight?

[Cornholio]

yeah and i found 2 cool people and i told them to join there names are spit and sly-snake001

i said join the forum and whoever the leader is will probley let them join dvd

[Spy021]

Had a pretty good turnout tonight. I think for a few maps we had a total of 6 members on. Hopefully, we'll see a few more on tomorrow night.

[tavarua88]

i wont be able to make it tommorow, but it was fun tonight. too bad i couldnt hear cornholio at all. very weird.

[theman1971]

Man! I wanted in last nite, but the game you guys created was full! What a bummer! I ended up watching for a little bit and then jumped on another game server.

Thong

[dasmooth1]

hey guys..sorry bout last night...between phone calls and my non-knowledge of the seal side of things, i sucked! but i'm down to get some tactical games going...

[Cornholio]

someone said the leader will turn his spot over to anyone who wants it. if you guys want i could be the leader im the most active then i could invite those 2 players i found too. i was the leader of the 2nd dvd clan in socom 1.

[cowboy]

I say we should pass it onto cornholio. I always see him on. he's also the highest ranked out of all of us.

[theman1971]

What?! We're not going to have a coup d'etat? :)

Thong

[dasmooth1]

go for it!

[tavarua88]

i say we should have a room where everyman dukes it out to see who's the leader...or we could just give it to cornholio.

[deadlax]

any new practice times?

[ivelostr2]

michael bolton, I will go on tonight and pass on leadership, I haven't had time in the last week to be on at all, but after the 5th of december (classes end for christmas), I will have more time.

I'm gonna play for a little while tonight though...

[dasmooth1]

don't really matter to me who's the "leader", but whoever it is needs to set up some clan matches!!

[Cornholio]

i didnt check if im leader now but if i am ill set us up some matches for sure.

[tavarua88]

lets play [SW] clan, i was in the room with them the other day and all they do is whine and bitch. it'd be fun to beat them.

[dasmooth1]

tavarua88, whats your socom name? have we played together?

[tavarua88]

dingbat

[Cornholio]

do you know what briefing room SW plays in cause if you do i could set up a match with them.

[dasmooth1]

[ck] cocoa puffs and his clan are down to war with us...we can try tonight at 9, but they usually only war with clans registered at socombattles.com...maybe whoever our leader is can sign us up..

anyhow, if we have a couple of people tonight and [ck] is around, we might get something going...

[tavarua88]

sorry i dont, i just remember one of them went beserk at a teammate cuz he messed it up. he got all caught up with it. i found it amusing.

[Spy021]

I'd be game for a scimmage or sparring session tonight. I should be able to get on around 9:00.

[Cornholio]

ill be on in a few mins

[dasmooth1]

no one showed up last night (besides Corn), by the way Corn, I got booted and decided to play True Crime instead, besides you went into that room I can't get into cause of my rank.....

[deadlax]

had a good time last nige with bolton and gotech. i missed bolton's unbelievable performance against an entire clan on his own, but oh well.

hope to see folks on tonight.

I'll definetly be on tonight. I have yet to play with anyone from here due to my work hours but I hope to see some of you on tonight!

[dasmooth1]

lets set up a time & maybe a room if we have enough folks...

[deadlax]

i think the a2k clan would love a battle with us.

[dasmooth1]

this clan is boring..lets get some wars going already! I saw guys on this weekend, but everyone was dispersed thru different rooms..and our leader was in the glitch rooms the whole time (password protected) so I couldn't even reach him to get something going....it's kind of pointless to be in a clan if nothing happens..lets figure something out, i've got invites from other clans who actually act like a clan...lets kick some arse already!!

[deadlax]

i hear ya dasmooth1, i like actually killing people in socom, not looking for ways to cheat other players.

I say you guys start a new clan. Glitching = loser, so loose the leader.

btw, you can message people using the ingame messaging.

[tavarua88]

what's glitching mean? i've seen the phrase pop up a lot.

[deadlax]

wanna have a practice tonight? 9 or 10pm eastern?

[dasmooth1]

glitching = when your GL itches, thus glitching :)

i'm down to meet up dead lax, see ya around 9pm...

i played last night in the demolition medleys and had a blast, met some cool people who actually talked & worked together, we actually won every game we played...

glitching = finding spots in a map that are not meant to be there, or in essence, cheating...

[cowboy]

I'll try and jump on tonight too. I haven't played with you guys in a while.

[deadlax]

had fun last night with tico and gotech, we had a good group of 8 and seriously kicked some ass for a while.

[dasmooth1]

likewise deadlax...it's always more fun when everyone works and talks together...those demolition/extraction rooms are usually good for that...i'm down to do it again this weekend...

[Spy021]

It's been a while since I've been able to get on and go a few rounds with the clan. I hope to be on this weekend as well.

[ME2]

I'll try to be on either tonight or Thanksgiving night. I've got to work at EB so this weekend might be kind of tough for me though. But I've had some fun playing with our clan guys, it's nice to know you got other guys watching your back.

[dasmooth1]

looks like i've been assigned as leader, hey corn what happened? anyhow, i'm gonna play around with this for a bit...

i posted a few clan messages...

i'm also looking to change the clan tag so i don't have to answer anymore "what dvd's do you recommend? ", "what dvd's are you looking forward to?" if anyone has any thoughts for a new clan tag, any 3 characters on your standard keyboard will work...i've changed it to ]|[ for now to see if everyones tag changes at once or just mine...

[dasmooth1]

don't see too much interest in this clan by anyone, i'm going on vacation next week and am willing to assign someone else as leader during the time i'm gone, if anyone wants that responsibility, let me know...if no one is intrested, i will just disband the clan and join one i met last night, real cool guys, mostly from NY...i'll add the few guys on here (who i know are down to play) into my buddy list (spy, deadlax, cowboy, bolton, gotech, etc)...

if no one responds, i'll disband the clan by next week...

[ME2]

If anyone wants to play tonight, I'll try to get on tonight sometime probably later around 12 ET. I've got to work till 10 tonight at EB so I can't get on any earlier. Hope some other guys join me on.

[tavarua88]

i might be able to make it

[dasmooth1]

hey Me2..i'll try to be on, but at that time, i'll be so tired, i'd probably not do too much..

so does anyone want to be leader? and any thoughts on our clan tag?

[Cornholio]

yeah i passed leadership to tico im barley on now and when i am on i goto glitch games cause im kinda bored of the regular game so this is something to do that IMO is interesting.

[cowboy]

what happens in the glitch games? I've never seen a glitch occur in the original or socom 2.

[Spy021]

Unfortunately, my schedule at work has kept me from getting on with any type of frequency. Hopefully, things will get back to normal soon. If the clan disbands before then, you guys feel free to add me (Spy021) to your buddy list and I'll try to get up with you all when I do get on.

[dasmooth1]

sounds good spy..i'll definately add ya on...

i changed the clan tag to [NO1], as in [no one] is ever on...i think it's appropriate..

[deadlax]

i think you should jsut disband the clan and let people join up with whomever they want. it was a nice thought, but had no momentum in the beginning.

[tavarua88]

u can add me as well (dingbat)

[dasmooth1]

done..

it was fun while it lasted, i'll definately add you guys to my buddy crap thing...

[ME2]

how do we put each other on our buddy lists?
