i'm down..i've been on the Beta since it came out and can't wait till this game drops officially..the buddy list feature didn't work well on the Beta, hopefully they have fixed that for that final release.

I'm hoping I can return Jak 2 from the TRU 2 for 1 deal for this game tomorrow, or does it drop on wednesday, I'm confused..

Release date is 11/4. It will show up Tuesday afternoon in some places.

so anyone pick this game up yet? it should be out today but stores are being kinda shady about it...

The Software Etc near me didn't have it at lunchtime but said it should be in around 2 pm. I may pick it up after work.

hmm, i've been calling around and have gotten everything from "we'll have it tomorrow", "not sure when we're getting it", "it could be in the store but we're not sure", "we'll have it at 7, but we close at 8" etc etc...

I'm not sure your gonna be able to exchange it for Socom 2. Jak 2 retails for 39.99 and every retailer I have seen has Socom 2 retailing for 49.99.

i preordered mine moths ago from ebgames.com and i got overnite shipping. it came out today and i got a shipping notice today so i will definently have it tomorrow. it kinda sucks i got shcool tomorrow and i didnt today.ill be on all day thursday-sunday cause i have no school yay.

my name is gonna be Michael Bolton

I got my copy today, but I've had DSL problems so all I've seen so far is 'Frostfire'.

But my connection seems to be back up and stable, so I guess I'll check it out now...

I played for an hour or so online tonight. I didn't see anything new. The game was supression and the maps were SOCOM 1 maps.

It's too damn dark. Every map I played was either a night map (Abandoned) or just really dark (Rat's Nest). I couldn't see anything. Bumping up the brightness on my TV helps, but it makes everything look bad.

The victory dances are absolutely stupid. Everyone else seemed to love them though, so I think I'll be in the minority on that.

While waiting on SOCOM 2 to be released, I played more Ghost Recon. I think I really got attached to GR. The hardest part is going back to SOCOM's controls after getting used to Ghost Recon. I don't know if it's the controller (S controller vs Dual Shock 2) or what but I'm a total spaz with SOCOM.

I'm definitely in, I'll be getting it tomorrow hopefully if my TRU gets it, cause I'm doing that deal.

Yeah Abandoned is way too dark imo, I like the old one better. I like the old Rats Nest better too. That new dark jungle level is sweet though.

But the game still rocks!

I picked up the game a couple of hours ago. Haven't played it yet, just went online to secure my name and I spec'ed a game. I know I'm gonna be sucky for some time, I'm so use to using a mouse to control aiming, the analog stick seems so foreign and imprecise. I'll get use to it eventually,hopefully anyhoo heh.

I'll be picking up a headset once BB gets them in tomorrow or Friday as well. The chat rooms devoid of life with barely any typing, similar to SSX 3, it felt very sterile.

Socom 2 name: Galanthas. If anyone wants to look me up ever.

Im on too under tyrant b

i am officially locked and loaded..picked up my copy at FYE today and will be on tonight to see what improvements have been made since the beta..so i'll add some of you guys to my buddy list and hopefully we can get together for some games..i'll try to get my same name as before (Tico Loco), but i'll post it tonight or tomorrow after I know for sure its still there...

Galanthas - you can go into the options menu and adjust the speed of the crosshairs as well as some other things..might prove useful...

Can i join your clan...my socom name is Weapon-X

I'm in too. Although not sure of the name yet. Will post once I secured the name.

Thong

I already did that . It helps some but it's still no where near as comfortable as a mouse for aiming, for me at least heh. Before playing Quake 2 and Half-Life I was able to control Goldeneye for example just fine, after learning the M/KB combo I haven't been right since.

It also doesn't feel right using both analog sticks for other games as well though. I can't use the right analog for gas and brake in racing games because my brain stops functioning when trying to do one or the other and steer at the same time hehe.

I started the clan, i will send invitations to all of you in few, I am having headset issues now and tring to solve them...

My SOCOM II name is "Bucky Katt". Maybe we need another thread for names?

Hey, i just picked up the game today..I wanna join! my socom name is "Drac"

invites are out...

still having headset issues though, anyone else use a router (network everywhere NR041)?

it's your router. That router is known to have issues with the headset. It did with the first game and unless things have changed or they've updated the firmware it won't work properly with SOCOM 2.

I want in as well, my name is gotech
Thanks

hook me up

tico loco

thanks
