Today on Socom.com’s blog they released more information on the Socom Public Beta. They let us know that the beta will take place on the Crossroads map both the large(32 players) and smaller(16 players) version. They do not say whether the night mode will be included in the beta, but it is not likely. Some other great news is that all of the different game modes will be available to play. You will even be able to adjust settings for custom games, like being able to lock out curtain weapons. There will even be clan support and all your stats will be tracked. Best of all character customization will be available from armor, headgear, camo, and so on. They do not say if all of the character customization will be available but it seems a lot will be available for us to play with. Now they do warn that everything that happens in the beta will not carry into the final release. They also note that the beta is a test drive to allow them to test many important things in the game like gameplay and server stress.
If you did not know of the Socom Public Beta check out my previous post announcing the public beta and how to get involved.
