SOCOM: Confrontation (U.S. Navy Seals Confrontation for PS3) introduces a bunch of new features including new maps, in-depth clan support and character customization, just to name a few.
Maps
Confrontation comes packed with a total of seven maps, three of which are classic maps from SOCOM II that have been remade. The four new maps are Fallen, Kasbah, Urban Wasteland and Quarantine. The three fan favorite maps remade are Crossroads, Desert Glory and Frostfire. Since the game supports 16 and 32 player matches, a few of the maps have a larger form for the 32 player matches.
Online Gameplay
Getting online with SOCOM is as easy as ever with the new lobby system format featuring an auto match-making system with both ranked and unranked matches. A classic briefing room and a custom game set-up mode are also available for you to meet up with friends or clan mates. Speaking of clan mates, Confrontation has some of the best clan support I've seen in a game with team tournaments, clan ladders and leader boards.
Character Customization
For the first time in a SOCOM game, Confrontation gives players the option to manage their own character with both facial and physical customizations. Not only are you able to choose your weapon and armor, but also choose what your Commando or Mercenary looks like. As a Commnado, you're able to choose from five different Special Ops Squads: Navy Sea, Air, and Land (U.S. Navy SEALs), Special Air Service (United Kingdom), Kommando Spezialkräfte (Germany), Unidad de Operaciones Especiales (Spain) and 1er Régiment de Parachutistes d'Infanterie de Marine (France).
Other Options
Other new features in Confrontation include the option of using the new over-the-shoulder view or using the classic view from previous SOCOMs, an advanced cover system using the SIXAXIS controller and full mic/headset support. Depending on how you like to play, you might prefer the new over-the-shoulder view, but veteran SOCOM players might want to stick with the classic view. You've also got the option to turn off the SIXAXIS motion controls if you don't want to use it.
