As we move ever closer to the games completion, we’re happy to go into detail about everything the game has to offer, which is quite a lot! In addition to its cinematic single-player campaign and highly addictive online competitive multiplayer, SOCOM: Special Forces also features a co-operative multiplayer mode where up to five people can play through a number of dynamic missions set up specifically for co-op play.
SOCOM: Special Forces co-operative mode features two main game types: “Takedown” and “Espionage.” Takedown charges your team with scouring an enemy filled location in search of opposing VIPs that you must neutralize however you can. Espionage turns the focus to intelligence gathering, where you must use teamwork to track down enemy data and sabotage their local operations.
Before each co-op mission begins, you’re able to adjust both the overall difficulty and the density of the enemy soldiers positioned on the map. But even at its easiest, SOCOM: Special Forces co-operative mode has been designed to be challenging – as you progress, you’ll need to use teamwork by calling out enemies and objectives to your squadmates.
Check out the screens and b-roll footage of the co-op campaign in action. Stay tuned to PlayStation.Blog for more SOCOM: Special Forces updates.
Played the 1player mode last saturday at playstation accsess in glasgow in 3d was blown away by this game zipper have made amzing game with this 1 cant wait for it to drop
That’s great to hear mony24, glad you liked the game! :)
Online and offline together?
Looks great btw!
Thanks addyjones1234, co-op mode is online only.
Looks cool;)
Was kind of hoping that the 14 story missions would have been co-op online! However the fact that online co-op has been done, hats off to you, at least someone is doing it, I hope it becomes a success, and maybe you would support it with DLC ?
Thanks for the feedback, will pass this onto the guys.
Do we even have a EU release date for it yet?
March is when the beta is. Any info on it?
Don’t worry hjm50, the guys at Zipper will be sharing news about the beta over the coming weeks.
will buy it first day :) you rock Zipper
Really eager for socom :) i am having some serious shooter withdrawals as of late, confrontation despite the bugs was awesome but i never played a zipper one and i hear your the daddy of socom so am even more keen
release date?
This is something to really look foward to,especially the ability to call out enemies and objectives WIN
Day 1 purchase for me, i just hope my mates will get it too. They seemed impressed by it over at ign too
:)
I hate b-roll footage….looks terribly boring. Last years E3 demonstration was much more impressive.
Think i’m gonna get PSN+ then :) :)
Will their be split-screen co-op campaign? And this co-op mode is just for online right?
What the hell ? Is this Socom or Gears of war ? With all the explosions and shooting around, I’m not so sure anymore…
Travis keeps me awake at night. “/
i’m a hardcore socom fan played it on ps2 & ps3 confrontation was ok up until it got full of cheats but thats how it is. What Zipper done to stop the cheats this time? cos we’ll get em bank on that plus i know the beta is out in march but what i want to know is when are we guna get a release date for the EU? i’ve been told its guna be 23/04/2011 but Zipper still haven’t told us, STILL WAITING
To bad the sound quality on voice chat over the PS3 is so realy realy bad. Specialy in a game like this where you want to chat alot…listening to that horrible quality is a big drawback.
Could just use Skype or other programs on a computer but only with close friends. Sony should realy do something about this…spesialy for paying costumers that have PS+.
17# must be because of your connection because the sound quality works great for me.
@18 Im on a 10Mbit/s fiber connection so that should not be the problem. Could be that im just used to better quality since when I game on a pc I usaly speak with people over Skype.
And that has a better quality than a phone…
BEYYYYOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDD
Got my move controller and ready to rock
Question why does the EU version has the name : Socom special forces and not like in the states SOCOM 4
Why not also socom 4 in the PAL zone ? I am gonna import , you ask why ? Again eu has no release date that means we need to wait months and Special forces is a lame name , just call it SOCOM 4 !!!
so there will be a story/campaign mode?
Status xmb updates for this game…………..thats all i ask.
awesome!! great progress since the last one
