This is concerning the co-op problems. Its very hard to connect to anyone atm playing mercs 2 as EA has fucked something up bad. There is nothing from EA yet concerning the problem but we can't connect due to EA's servers. Im hoping to recivesome information tomorrow but its a big hope. You can connect to some people at times but there is a big issue with the servers. I post tomorrow what i get from EA if anything.
One person however set his option to invitation only and he managed to get a friend in so for the meantime set your option to invitation only and try inviting each other and see if it works.

i hear what your saying mate,
had a look at the screenshots for socom earlier. (looks mint )
only thing the ps3 beats 360 on is the fact you dont gotta pay every month.
i have visions of me dussting the cobwebs off my 360 to be honest..

Mercs 2 is a fucking insult im trading it in for Arma today, if Socom sucks ill probably go back to 360 aswell.
Im already pissed at it over the beta America get it as a demo and we get 6k places for beta testing....wtf its socom 3 all over again, its gonna be split servers America and EU :S we all know that means in a years time there gonna have new maps and were gonna be stuck on the same ones again. Also out of our 6k places some stupid forum gave almost 2k of them to americans who already have the game and now there selling the redeem code on EBay.
I have just sent 3 rather shitty emails about it. Fuck Sony they dont give a shit about anyone unless there americans. I NEVER had this problem with microsoft. You pay thus are a valued person.
PS,your l forgeting MAG (the other reason im staying)

I don't see anything wrong with mercs 2.
**Spoiler**
It gets better when the Chinese and Americas get involved but there is not exactly alot of missions to do with the Americans still not done china yet.
All im saying is mercs 2 i love the game but co-op has definitely let me down but then again thats EA's end of the deal to keep these servers right which its not so they should fix it. Once it's fixed i can see me helping people all over Europe then just doing missions that i loved again. Or even just pissing around woth the fractions blowing there stuff up.
Socom however i have my doubts. This time around they real have boasted about it being online only and full clan support so they have really set themselves targets. Socom fans really want something special now so any one of these features are missed or servers are laggy etc i could see atleast 50% of people returning it and about 30-40% of that 50% moving to 360.

ferrit is rite cor, it would take alot of cash to get a comp runnin at the same specs as a console. the only reason consoles are cheaper is cause they screw you over with shit games lol. plus i hate keyboard/mouse, makes flyin a plane/chopper or driving a tank shit. computer freaks can take the wasd keys and stick them up their arses lol.
ps. whats with the lol emoticons hair? some fuckin dragon ball z shit goin on there lmao.
pss. no offense to anyone with hair like that or a big assed hair style generally, lol.

cor please try and understand tht even if it were possible to get tht amount of ppl on/in one server, and they all had comps that were custom built and cost atleast a couple of grand (not from normal retailers), there will still be a shit load of lag. it would not be kl. my comp cost £500 (didnt got to a normal retailer like pc world etc). iv got a decent router (same place i got my pc) and a decent connection with BT (admitedly not the best at times but still) and yet a server with 20-30 people kills my comp as you have seen. the same problem will arise if you increased the number of players and increased the quality of their hardware. ps3 and 360 are built to a certain specification that playin with other players is possible in servers designed for tht hardware. u kno what its like playin in a server with ppl who have shit computers and connections. they lag like fuck and sponge alot. thts why consoles are better, you kno that the other players have the same hardware as you and the only problem is if they have a camel connection lol. i agree tht games with mods are great but wtf is the point in them when i cant keep a decent connection. pacman pisses all over the wii lmao.
