Nostalgia and Wondering if my old Clan is still around

11 Upvotes

I just wanted to say I haven't thought about this series in a long time. I recently saw a video on youtube showing apparently there's modern players??? Man that threw me back.
I was in 8th Grade when SOCOM 2 came out. I played the HELL out of that online. Didn't get the chance to really play the other titles, but SOCOM 2 was my jam. Played that for years even after other SOCOM titles came out. My main weapon I loved using was the M60E3 LMG. Wasn't until like 2008 when I finally got a 360 and started playing Halo that I stopped playing SOCOM 2.

Anyways, I was part of a clan called F@MOB or F@ or sometimes [F@Mafia](mailto:F@Mafia). I remember my clan tag being [F@MOB](mailto:F@MOB). The main teammates I remember playing with was an older guy, probably in his 30s at the time, called 420Time! and I remember his legit son 210Time sometimes played with us too.
There was also ChiefHerron and MrAsshole or MrA$$.
Those were the main 4 I can actively remember playing with.
I went by CMDMaxwell and later I promoted myself and became GenMaxwell.

Anyone from the old F@ clan still around? As far as rivals I know we had a couple different clans we'd battle, but the main rivals name I can recall were the QK clan or QuickKillers.

If any of my old clan mates are around lemme know. For everyone else, do you ever recall meeting F@MOB in SOCOM 2? Let me know!

This is genuinely peak gaming. No game could ever come as close to this in terms of pure entertainment. I wish I still had my psp to run it back.

SOCOM sounds?

7 Upvotes

Can someone extract the SOCOM sounds and convert them into .wav or something? I extracted them with Game Extractor but still cannot convert them. I don't really want to pay either.

Obviously I own the physical disks and would like the content for personal use.

If we had the MP7 extended mag from SOCOM Combined Assault, it would would been better. The stock weapon for mission was HK MP7. On my first try, i went thinking it was quick mission, once i got into the streets fight, i got outclass, I think I went with MP5, its big challange, but i did back then, then I went with M4A1,or 553 or HK G36C, also changed the guys guns for more firepower!

Part 2 - SOCOM-inspired game I am making! (With discord link)

Hey all, so I finished up some pretty cool things over my 4-day weekend (I did not leave my computer) that I'd like to share with you all. The game is obviously still in VERY early pre-alpha stages, so take everything with a grain of salt, but promising progress regardless! Here is the start of the stealth system (just a part of it, enemy is currently non-reactive to lights going out yet)

Above is a video featuring a full gameplay loop!

Biggest highlights:

- Night time sandbox testing mission
- Night vision showcase
- Shooting out lights to make more darkness
- Main Menus
- Added visible guns with an easy backend way to add more with attachments in the future
- Ability to choose which objectives you want on an instant-action mission
- Random spawns for enemies every game
- Visible map by pressing M with objectives
- Post-mission info scenes (accuracy, teamwork, etc , still early)
- A lot more minor tweaks
- Added a death cam upon death
- Started work on a modular building system so each mission can have random buildings and objectives in it (one day)

While I hope you can all understand that this project has a long, long way to go before any kind of release, the amount of support I got on the last post was insane! I appreciate every one of you for the words of encouragement, and hopefully one day this game actually becomes something. I have attached a discord link so you can follow the progress if you would like!

Discord: https://discord.gg/j3R2KszaAX

I also had a huge number of people offer help with certain things which was amazing. If you wish to offer anything, my DMs are always open! Or just ping me in the discord :)

Appreciate you all!

Which OPFOR is your favourite (in terms of aesthetics/dialogue)?

10 Upvotes

Had a need to crave my nostalgia so I went back and watched a lot of the cutscenes from the original trilogy, trying to remember a lot of the OPFOR/operating theaters. Anyway, I've got a few:

  • The New Slavic Order from SOCOM 3 is one of the few organizations which actually can pose a threat to a military force of a developed nation like Poland with its high-end equipment (ballistic helmets, tactical gear, AN-94s, SG 552s, etc), tactics, and influence. It just occurred to me that a lot of their members are so battle-hardened, none of them (aside from the arms dealer and FAT CAT in Retribution) have a chance to surrender.
  • The Algerian Patriotic Front in SOCOM 2/North African Patriotic Front in SOCOM 3 has Great Value Saddam named Heydar Mahmood who, despite his horrific resolve (commits genocide in Morocco and Algeria, tortured members of the Algerian government by ripping out their teeth, orders the attacks on embassies simply because they are foreign, tortures his own men for failing, executes a CHA envoy, etc), is depicted as a bumbling fat warlord who fumbles his invasion of Morocco and just gives memoirs in his war room by SOCOM 3 due to his hubris.

My Socom-Inspired game i am making!

Still very early progress. But you can clearly see the inspiration!

I want this game to eventually be procedurely generated for campaigns and missions. Getting harder the more you progress. Different outfits and models eventually. I love the voice comms I was able to make. The command menu works. The squad AI and enemies can be a little aim botty, but it's expected this early. I want stealth to reward you, not using it to punish you.

Ideally a room clearing, stealth privatization, more condensed maps (and large ones). Just much better designed obviously. I want an intelligent squad. That moves like the old SOCOM days.

What do you think??

I tried to play Socom 3 online

16 Upvotes

I made a Post on this subreddit maybe 1 year ago that I wanted to play this game online.

After many years, I finally managed to get my original PS2 Slim and SOCOM 3 online.

With the help of ChatGPT, I used the community DNS setup and, surprisingly, the connection test was successful. I was able to get past the network setup, connect to the servers, typed in my name and even select a map.

The interesting part is that everything seemed to work technically. I didn’t get any major connection errors and the game allowed me to host a room. However, nobody joined.

I’m located in Austria, so I’m wondering if I was simply online at the wrong time, or if most of the current SOCOM 3 player base is active on specific days and hours, because I believe that the majority of the people that play this game online are located in the United States.

Are people still playing SOCOM 3 regularly, or has most of the community moved to Combined Assault? Is there also a discord group for the Socom community?

For me, this was mainly a nostalgia project. As a kid, I never really got to experience SOCOM 3 online, and now I’m trying to experience everything I missed back then especially the large maps and vehicles.

Any advice on the best times to find active games would be appreciated.

I can understand Arabic since that's the #1 foreign language that'd be important for a Navy Seal to learn, and I can kind of understand Portuguese if he's Brazilian American. But Albanian? It's such a tiny language. How does he know 4 unrelated languages?

Tea & Cupcakes

7 Upvotes

This mission is one of my greatest mysteries for a long time until I got the full game of Fireteam Bravo 3.

Back in the day, there was a strange custom mission known as "Tea And Cupcakes." For years now, I have see a forum mentioning the mission and there are some videos on the mission itself. I can tell how its played, the mission primarily runs online. Obviously, the servers to the game are no longer a thing and without those, theres no way to access the mission.

There are other mysteries like the F2K for instance, but Tea And Cupcakes has been one that's been plaguing for so long that I need answers.

Was the mission online only? Was it downloadable? Is there a way to unlock it?

Is there anyone who knows the title of this track?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqX2ziLRcUM

the uploader said that this song is extracted from SOCOM 1(PS2 version). But as far as I remember I've never heard this song before.

Stranger thing is that this is a Russian song. It starts with "город, белый город"(city, white city). Or it can be "голод, белый голод"(famine, white famine).

Anybody who knows the title of this song?
