PSP SOCOM Fireteam 3 supports 16 online

Has clans, customisation, kitchen sink.

Sony has confirmed 16-person multiplayer for SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 on PSP.

There will be eight custom maps and seven new game modes, each with custom objectives, said the company on the US PlayStation blog.

There's a brand new Leader mode that assigns one person who all team members will spawn next to on their mission toward objective points. Plus, there's a new Tug of War game where teams drain points from each other as they collect tickets.

Fireteam Bravo 3 has local and online multiplayer, with the latter supporting tournaments, clans, ladders, voice chat and character customisation.

SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 will be available on 12th January in the US.

Sony told Eurogamer this morning that there is still no date other than "2010" for Europe.
