when Socom 4 comes out, go easy on me.

[SOCOM_TOUGH_GUY]

did u guys talk about cover system long enough lol

[korten12]

I will be one who uses the cover system ALOT. I love cover systems ever since Uncharted 1/2 and MGS1/2/3/4 (fourth mainly.)

Remind me next time I play with Wargo that I should go hide in a corner. I had a guy named Wargo in my old clan D12.

Nice Podcast. I thought you guys were a little drunk after a while. made it more funnier.

You messaged me on skype and I was like when and next thing you know I was thrown into the mix. Unprepared would be an understatement but enjoyed everything. Always down for more as along as I am free.

LOL that's pretty much how we role. We sometimes prepare with some notes but most of it is just role it and record it. Thats something we like about our podcast is, we don't have any edits but the INTRO and that's it. Everything else is live, and its good stuff I guess.

No lol, we have a probation period for anyone who wants to join even though our old way was 1,000x better. The hazing was classic. Tons of pics or videos over at our forums laying around. Video of Kirkzor giving himself a swirly is my fave

Make sure they really want to be apart of what we offer. Weeds out the ones who don't want to commit to us. Drop out rate is outrageous. It's fun. We lightened up but still need to go through a process. Reason why we have a big group of great personalities. We do enjoy ourselves a ton. Members helping each other out in need, ps3 bought for those who have broken PS3's. One clan member moved in with another and got him a new job. Games bought for others. Just an absolute tight nit bunch who like to drink, be sarcastic, bust balls, and know gaming.

Thats a smart idea. i dont think ive been in a clan for more than a year. most stop playing or break up. Good to see you have a good clan.

[r_e_v]

That's badass wargo!

[unoj3w420]

[WarMachine_v1]

LOL, we ALWAYS wonder if the show "turned out good" considering we don't follow any type of script.

I think I speak on behalf of the entire crew when I say......

we really never know how the show is going to turn out. We have NEVER edited yet to date except for a "bleep". And we have NEVER recorded a show that we "didn't use" or had to "re-record". 5-6 little "quick notes" get posted, we hit record and just let it rip.

I think that element alone makes the show fun to listen to. And the guests we have!
Wow, they fit right in and always seem to do a great job along with us.

I really like the Socom community. Well, most of you at least. lol.

I like the jump to climb talk.

What no one realizes, is that the original jump to climb was a bug in the game. There was a jump, and there was a climb, but zipper didn't limit your actions mid air, so if you jump at a wall, your climb will interrupt your jump. Which allowed access in a bunch of unforeseen areas, because you could climb any surface as long as the ledge was x height(in relation to your body), so when you jumped, you could climb extra walls because the ledge would come lower on your body so it could be grabbed.

The reason why Jump to climb in Confrontation, was because of the rampant complaints of jump snipers, so Slant Six canceled any action that took place mid-air. Which is why the reload canceled all the time you stepped on a pebble, because the game thought you were mid-air for a half of a second. Since all actions are canceled mid-air, the jump to climb bug was fixed (unintentionally) in confrontation.

[don't take my post wrong, I actually liked jump-to-climb, I am just posting what happened and why it wasn't in confrontation]

You make an awesome point and one that I regret not bringing up...

[[PAs] IDEVILMANI]

I always regret not asking to be in a Socast.

lol are you hinting at something here? lol

[blacksmokes]

I'm at work on my lunch break and people would probably stare at me funny if they had to listen to 45 minutes of SOCOM talk. So bring me up to speed on what was discussed in zipline and socast this week.

From what I am hearing, jump to climb was removed in S4, The developers sped up the game in MP from last time, and was there anything else related to S4 that I should know?
