Finally real BETA news.
Fri Mar 04, 2011 11:16 am
Competitive multiplayer has always been the core of the SOCOM franchise, and SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs takes it further than ever before with modes and options that both new recruits and veterans alike will enjoy. We've previously covered three of our four competitive modes -- Suppression, Last Defense and Uplink -- and today we're excited to unveil our fourth mode, Bomb Squad.
In Bomb Squad, Insurgents have planted a number of bombs around the map and the Spec Ops team must defuse them all before time runs out. What makes Bomb Squad special is that it features the unique Bomb Technician character, played by one member of the Spec Ops team, who is charged with defusing the explosives. He carries both an automatic shotgun and a mobile grenade launcher and is very heavily armored, making him a deadly force on his own; that said, the technician is still an open target any time he turns his back to defuse Insurgent bombs. Succeeding in Bomb Squad requires tactics, teamwork, patience and confidence to get the job done, all pillars of the overall SOCOM experience.
When can you get your hands on Bomb Squad, you ask? Well, you'll be able to try out all four of our modes on two maps in our upcoming beta! The SOCOM 4 Multiplayer Beta will include each of the game's competitive multiplayer modes -- Suppression, Last Defense, Uplink and Bomb Squad -- all playable on the maps "Port Authority" and "Assault & Battery". And of course, you'll be able to play each of our modes in either of their Standard or Classic variants.
The SOCOM 4 Multiplayer Beta will roll out in four separate phases. It'll begin with a small, private group and then expand weekly from there until it's freely available to everyone! Here's the schedule for each of the beta's rollout phases:
The beta is scheduled to run until April 13th, at which point the servers will be taken down in preparation of SOCOM 4's retail release on April 19th! Click here to discuss Bomb Squad and the beta on the official SOCOM forums.

That kind of fucks the guys who went out and bought KZ3 thinking they would get in early, LMAO. All you have to do is buy Playstation Plus and there you go. It's another ploy to get more money.

I just bought the MAG DLC too......Had I known this then there is no way I would have donated my money to scum like that. Thats dirty.
Remember that thing about PS+ not getting the beta a while back? Fucking lying pricks. I can't wait for the Battlefield 3 beta :l.

Well at least you get to play on the 15th. Have fun. So that's what they meant about giving you the beta.

I thought they were above cheap ploys like that. I guess that's what I get for trusting a business, a SONY owned business.

That is exactly why I won't give Zipper any money NAME-LESS, they lied to my face at E3 about some basic classic SOCOM features. They will say/do anything
to make a buck including lying about the beta and when it will release. Pretty shady shit if you ask me but on par for the way Zipper has been as of late.
