144 0

As we mentioned last week, the eagerly-anticipated (understatement of the year) SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Public Beta is less than a day away. Just in case you missed this recent message on SOCOM.com, and so you don’t furiously, continuously refresh your inbox at midnight – bringing Gmail to its knees – here’s SCEA’s Seth Luisi with the rundown:

We apologize to everyone for the inconvenience of the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta delay. However, I am happy to say that everything has now been worked out and the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta will go live in North America tomorrow for anyone who has preordered at GameStop/EB GAMES. You must be registered for the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta using the instructions provided on the GameStop/EB GAMES SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta voucher to get your SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta code.

Assuming you’ve already registered, here is what to expect. At around 10am Pacific Daylight Time, e-mails containing the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta PSN codes will start going out in bursts. The e-mails will start arriving at e-mail in-boxes throughout the day. The e-mail will be sent to the PSN login e-mail address you provided when you registered for the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta. To redeem the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta PSN code, use the following steps:

* Go to the PLAYSTATION Network Icon on the PLAYSTATION 3 XMB (XrossMediaBar).
* Select “Account Management.”
* Select “Transaction Management.”
* Choose “Redeem PLAYSTATION® Network Card or Promotion Code.”
* Enter the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta code which you received in the e-mail.
* Click “Continue.”
* The download will be available on the next screen.
* Redeem and download your own SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta client first, then give the code to two other friends.

I look forward to seeing you all on-line in the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Public Beta.

  • where do you sin u for the beta….and how long does it take to get your key??????

  • Wow I have been downloading the beta from 10:09 this morning it is now 1:57pm and my PS3 is only at 46% downloading. I am using wireless is it faster using Ethernet line ???
    Can anyone help ?

  • @38 – its his now, bu i dont live with him anymore so i was gonna get a new one for that reason.

  • Is there anywhere that we should report bugs of anything to do with the beta? Cheers

  • I GOT SCREWED WASN’T SENT A CODE WHEN I PRE ORDERED ON LINE.

  • When will the beta invite codes be done being sent to all those who pre-ordered? I am starting to worry that I typed in the wrong e-mail address, or something else along those lines.

  • This question is the only reason I made an account on the blog so please answer. Can you tell me that sony has a team working on the bluetooth headset problems and about what time they will be fixed? Thank you.

  • You guys are ridiculous, not trying to be a jerk, but seriously guys, acting like this isn’t going to solve anything, everyone just relax, your beta codes are probably in the auto-mailer, just give it time, and heck maybe it’s even tied into the beta program to the point that it’s testing the server flows, and you might not get your email until it needs more people to jump on.

    Oh, and those of you dissing on Slant Six, can shove it, SS is a great design team, and Seth Luisi is still in control, Idunno why you all think that just because it doesn’t say Zipper on it it’s not a Socom, or because it doesn’t say Zipper on it it’s a huge calamity… last I checked Slant Six Games put out an award winning psp game called Socom:Tactical Strike.

    Those of you whining about graphics, know this… updates can improve many things included of which can be visuals, how do you know those are final, after all it is a beta, and besides, Socom was never about the over the top detail, It was about the fine line between arcade action, and realistic gritty simulated combat, and also it was always about Strategy, and the way the games played out in a room, the rules, and tactics, and teamwork/communication.

  • I haven’t been sent my email code either, for what it’s worth…? So I’d imagine that a lot of people are still waiting on emails based on how many people are complaining about it atm. I highly doubt 50% of entrants typed their emails wrong.

  • Leave it to Slant6 not to carry over all of the original controller configurations from the Socom series…..scout config not included means starting from scratch on how to move through this game.

  • GAMESTOP screwed me also, preordered the game as they advertise in pormo the codes, yet when i called them today they said they ran out of codes weeks ago and I won’t get mine, false advertising by gamestop, lucky enough of my clan got codes to pass around.

  • anyone there that has an extra please hook me up please!

    psn: lebron_accel

  • hay all i so mad i did not get my beta code sent to me if some would be nice and hook me up with one some me and my son can play we would love it thx my psn ATTITDUE PS PLEASE I BEEN WAITING ALL DAY TOOK THE DAY OFF OF WORK

  • Please Tell Me this game is nice. It took me two hours to download and i couldn’t even play. Everytime i join a game it froze. could invite my friend. this is crazy but understandable it’s the beta and the first day. So many people on was killing the server I guess, anyway i can’t wait to actually be able to play. i wait until later tonight and try again….Please pray for me. I’ve been waiting to long to be disappointed as we all are.

  • I have still yet to recieve my e-mail it is 8:23est. I am not to happy about this cause I paid for my copy in full. going to wait till the morning and see if it shows if not going to start calling someone to see if they can help me with it.

  • also I had the same issue with gamestop. I ordered it at one store and found out about the beta and called another one showed my slip and they gave me a code. But not getting my e-mail yet is pretty bad. So much for being a die hard and being on the ball with this stuff.

  • Do you have an extra code and you don’t know what to do with it?

    Hey, hook me up!

    PSN: MetalGearC11

    THANKS!!!!

  • ya i also have qore, and am very angry with this. i payed my 3 dollars just like everyone else and why do we not get it on the date everyone else did.

    if anyone has a spare key please i beg you, send me one pleaseeeee

    PSN ID : T41NT

  • Is anyone else waiting for the codes just like me ?

    Still don’t have one,……sucks,…..I did reg. late (Tuesday) but I figured I should have recvd one by now.

    This blows,

    DEMON

  • yea i need my code sent to my email again cuz my stupid spam filter was on my email how to i get can neone help me with this i would greatly appreciate it?????

  • Get off the n ut sack Kedaro. Its very obvious Slant tried to make a different version of Socom. I hope your right and it only looks and feels this crappy because its the beta. There’s a lot of die hard Socom fans that have been playing this since Socom 1. We just expected to get the best shooter game back with improved graphics and maybe an upgrade here and there.

  • I think those who are complaining about graphics/gameplay should realize that a beta this far into a game’s development cycle exists only to test the server stability. The game is more or less done at this point.

  • If anyone has an extra key to pass out, id be very greatful. My PSN = glody

    :/

  • Omg…….i want this s00 bad….If someone coud send a code to mi psn…id be sooooooooooo greatfulll….

    Psn Id-JamaicanWarrior1

  • For the love of god, where is my code???

    If anyone has an extra code, please please send it to my psn: blackjack1

    or email: xpod11@yahoo.com

  • Arghhhh, I’m a UK based self-confessed SOCOM addict and have just returned from Hawaii where I bought my PS3 only to realise that I cannot get onto the SOCOM Public Beta.

    I know it’s an extremely long-shot but to spare my sanity (and that of my Wife) does anyone out there have a spare SOCOM code they’d be willing to hook me up with??

    Please help, my sanity depends on you guys

  • i need to play this, need something other than call of duty! if some1 could send me a code, my psn is: rsulo

    thank u!

  • what about for the people who got the 1st episode of CORE who where promissed the beta and never got it. like me

  • I want the beta someone wanna give it to me psn is same as username Pleasssseee

  • can i have a code. akayoda01

  • i know it’s lat now but we seem to have ignored one thing. ON Qore if you go to the there download page, there is a icon like that states “SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Beta” not demo, but when you click on it you can’t download it.

  • I cant believe what a terrible expirience this is. The beta sucks. Terrible load times, horride play that takes forever to get into a game. Then when you do finally get into a room you play you can’t always respawn. I played all weekend and after every game once back in the lobby it won’t even load into the next game. Then you quit game and go back into Confrontation. and try to get back into the room and again it fails to load into the game.
    My Clan has even gone to using the XMB instead of the in game messaging. You can’t simply follow your friends any longer. No for some reason Slant 6 is taking the worst ideas for Socom Confrontation. I bought a PS3 for the Confrontation now I find myself playing other games instead. Slant 6 needs to make these things right.

  • @134 you do know this is a beta right? This is what betas are for so things like this dont happen in the real game they still have time to fix it just chill.

  • @131 I asked first haha

  • cheifsucks…
    I realize that its a beta.
    However I also note that they need to fix it. I understand that the beta is going to lag, catch, mess up in general however I do know that we heard for months how great the game play was and while the game play is great they still have quite a ways to go.
    I want nothing but to have a great expirience with Confrontation. And I am hopefull that they(Slant 6) will fix the mess that they are creating.
    I know that no game is great on beta release I still would love to meet the expectation of at least being able to play longer than 10 minute rounds. for a couple of times and then have the game basicly crash.
    I’m sure that somewhere in Slant6 somebody went “um excuse me but what about the loading problems?”
    I only want this to be great because I want SOCOM to continue. See you in the trenches!

  • I purchased the Qore subscription and pre ordered from gamestop online today and so far I have nothing. Can someone please help or give me some answers?

  • There is aweful loading issues and some lagging issues as well. Overall though i’d say the game is the sht. Can’t wait for the real version and my new mic.

  • Hi, I just got my email and my code today and tried to redeem it but i get a message that says “this code has already been redeemed the maximun number of times” i was just wondering does anyone know who i contact to try and get it fixed??

  • Same porblem, got invatation, but promo code seems to be stollen or broken. Does anyone nows how to fix this?

  • I Hope they are looking at this to fix the bugs. Yes I understand this is beta testing. I say this BEFORE YOU ALL DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS GAME
    STOP THE PRESS AND
    FIX THE SPAWN CAMPING PROBLEM IN ALL THE PAST SOCOMS.
    While I waited for this one to come out. I have been playing Call of Duty 4 and it was nice to see you could RESPAWN with out some one camping you for a million kills and you cant move. I have been playing for a few days and already have been spawn camped just about everyday I have played. Dont get me wrong I love my SOCOM but that is one dam thing that im sure everyone hates… SO PLEASE FIX IT PLEASE.. 20 min to wait to get in a game to get spawn camp SUX!!!!

  • I can’t install the beta keep getting the install error. any help? already tried to redownload it did it 3 times already. DAMN

  • Wired is always faster than wireless, 100Mbps vs. 54Mbps max.
