    That's awesome. I really, really glad they changed the talk features. I lost many, many lives trying to talk to my teammates and a dude pops around the corner. I heard that they would have a few classic maps but the only one I was sure about was crossroads. Apparently it was the most popular socom map ever. Personally, Desert Glory was always my favorite. So, how is the hit detectors and such? For example, in 1 it took 3 well placed center mass shots to take down someone, 4 if your aiming is off a bit. head shots always went down instantly. 2 was 5-7 and some times it didn't detect an obvious head shot. About how many hits would you say it takes to take down a hostile and is there any problems with the hit detection that you're aware of?

    As far as hit detection goes, I have found this one to be much more realistic than the past. Generally what I've seen is a couple of well placed shots will drop a guy. You can customize your character to have more or less armor (lots of armor slows the guy down quite a bit) so that effects how many shots it takes. If you kill a guy close enough, you can actually see exactly see where the bullets penetrate/hit the guy...it's pretty sweet!
    I'm usually sniping more often than not, and I've found that sniping in this is a little trickier than in the past. It def. seems more realistic rather than crosshair on guy = death no matter what. In past Socoms, you could kill a guy with a 50 cal. by shooting him in the ankle. Not the case on this one!

    They are pretty good. It was hard getting away from the COD4 controls that are/were stuck in my head.
    The default controls seemed a little slow as far as crosshair movement and for example turning around quickly, etc. I kept getting lit up from behind and not being able to react as fast as I'd like. But...
    You can make that adjustment in two seconds by going into the options. I set it to "seal level" and it's now much faster and much better! Why the default was set on a slower level doesn't make much sense to me, but it's now a lot better.

    Also one thing I noticed is that there aren't as many assholes on...yet. Most people are actually really cool as far as asking for help, etc. and not too pissed off if you lose or suck as I think everyone is in the same boat right now. It will probably change as more people get on and start taking it much more seriously.
