PSP SOCOM Fireteam 3 supports 16 online News

PSP News by Robert Purchese

13 November, 2009

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.

Sony still don't seem to 'get' handheld gaming, does anyone honestly have any interest in playing 16 player online on PSP?

Quite a few people if the popularity of metal gear solid portable ops was anything to go by.

Once tried playing Portable Ops online, my PSP is lucky these weakly gaming arms weren't able to snap it in half.

@Monkey_Puncher

Here in America we get at least 2000 players online every time we log on. Since this game is developed by Americans with American mindsets, this game will have 16 player online multiplayer whether you like it or not.

@calvinliang while you make a good point about its target audience, why didn't they do all this as a DLC for the PS3 SOCOM, seems a better fit than doing online multiplayer on the PSP, it does look very nice and ad hoc co-op would be fun *nukes own point*.

@freakzilla not played the PS3 version at length so can't comment on it, but Slant 6 previous SOCOM game for the PSP, Tactical Strike was good, hope they do a follow up at some point (either on PSP or a PS3 download would be even better) to sort out the rough edges.

edit:

'Theres a brand new mode called 'Leader' which does exactly what Battiefield 2 did about 6 years ago'

There we go
