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.

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.

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.

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

Spy021

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.
