Slant Six and SCE have announced a new and snow-themed expansion called Cold Front for the FPS
SOCOM: Confrontation. Set to hit at an unknown date and priced at $14.99, the cold DLC is packing a flurry of content including
five new maps, three of which are re-tuned
SOCOM golden oldies. Thermal goggles and white camo will be included in the DLC, as well as a different character progression system, a new mode dubbed “Arms Run,” and a new Special Forces regiment, the Russian Spetsnaz.
The new progression system is traditional -- players pick a weapon, use it a lot, and then unlock new attachments for it that they can deploy in battle. What makes this a bit more interesting are the weapons themselves. Three news weapons are included in the expansion, along with 6 “enhanced” oldies that will fit into the aforementioned progression system.
There’s obviously a lot of new here, or at least an Eastern European landslide of tiny details (such as Arms Race being a missile launcher sabotage-style mode), so do hit up
the official SOCOM Web site if this expansion pack tickles your fancy. And speaking of fancy tickling, while a date hasn’t been announced, the DLC will roll out at the price of $9.99 on the first day its purchasable -- a special price for the fans of game whose said fancies are tickled.

Loves me some Socom, loves it longtime.
Oh yeah, ps3 sucks.
And so do you.
Granted, it was not an editor. ;)
Sorry. Just read all the comments, but I felt this was worth mentioning again.
These 5 large-detailed maps have taken large amounts of time over the last few month's considering they are doing this to please the real SOCOMers by throwing in the new versions of the original SOCOM maps. They are probably going to come out with another map pack which I'd assume will have Fish Hook, Sandstorm, and The Ruins and two completely new maps.
As a SOCOMer I like the way they are doing things. Their maps packs are much cheaper than Call of Duty's which don't include new weapons, weapon add-ons, new music, and bunch more. While playing SOCOM I and II back in the day, I could only dream of what they are doing now. I've written them letters years ago telling them this idea of the new SOCOM on PS3 and I guess thousands did the same.
