Rumortoid: SOCOM: Confrontation to get new maps, guns, factions and more photo

Slant Six is a busy developer. After squashing bugs and dishing out numerous patches for their hobbled PlayStation 3 multiplayer shooter SOCOM: Confrontation, the studio is allegedly moving on to downloadable content. According to a Ripten “inside source” five new maps, a new faction, new guns, new attachments, new character models and two additional game modes are all in the works.

It sounds preposterous, however one item stands out among the bunch: The source person indicates that of the five “new maps,” only two will be fresh for the series. The other three will be SOCOM golden oldies. This is fairly consistent with Confrontation, which featured a mixture of old and new maps.

As with any rumor it’s best to take this with a grain of salt. These things have a habit of being flimsy, especially when we’re talking this much content. Will there be a map pack in the future? Absolutely. Will Slant Six dump all of this on players at once? It doesn’t seem likely.

"This is fairly consistent with Confrontation, as none of the maps are original creations."

This is inaccurate. Of the seven maps that came with the release of Socom Confrontation, four of them were brand new. Three of them were remakes; Frost Fire, Crossroads and Desert Glory.

Slant Six should really focus on fixing this broken-ass game for the few people still playing it, before they give any thought to DLC.

No, I definitely don't. I lost all hope and traded this turd in after disaster 1.30 hit.

If and when the game's fixed, I'll be back. Until then I'll wait for the next Socom.

Game's been fixed Omega. The last beefy patch smooth out quite a bit of its issues. I love me some SOCOM.

If these rumors are true, I'll be in heaven.

Great, release more stuff. I'm still trying to figure what the hell I'm supposed to do in that game.
