25 to Life Suggestion Thread

Ok....the police have arresting...that makes the teams uneven....So what about action hits for gangsters like where they can grabed them and use them for body guards so that when there team mate tries to shoot them the cop gets shot insted and that adds a friendly fire thing.Or gangsters could just shoot them....that would even it out

Yes. Thank you clumsy. I still hope other stats like accuracy, headshots, rounds won/lost, and most used weapons are tracked. (maybe not weapons but I thought it would be cool )

[Clumsyorchid]

No no no, I absolutely agree. Accuracy stats are second in line to KDR. You could be really effective with the cheapest weapon in the game and be ranked higher than a person who is really good with a harder weapon to use. I agree with the above poster in having detailed weapon stats, showing what areas you excell in and what areas need improvement.

[MAcSandNinEs]

ranking is kinda stupide because it can lose the whole point of online play and people will hack and cheat and lose the whole fun just to get their ranking up

[Clumsyorchid]

To a lot of people playing for ranks is the fun of playing online. It gives you a sense of accomplishment when you can check your progress through the ranks.

[JacenPsykes]

Clumsy,

Why do they keep pushing the release date back, aren't you guys worried about losing the hype for it? As of right now, what is the release date anyways?

[kazpa]

yeah man im getting preet sick and tired about waiting for so long of course when it FINALY comes out then i will be up for getting it for sure but seriously arent you guys worrid me and all of my friends are pretty stolked about it but starting to looses intrest!?

[Murda]

I would like to see some detailed clan support in the game. Of course clan tags and a clan list are a must. In Socom 2 you could only have 16 different players on a 'roster'. In 25TL, I don't think think there should be a limit to the number of people you can have in a clan. This would make organizing the clan easier.

Another idea involving clans would be to allow the leader of the clan to give people certain 'ranks' or privileges within the clan. For example, the leader has all privileges (disbanding, inviting people, etc.) The rank below the leader could be able to recruit new members and cut members from the clan. The next rank might be able to only invite new members, with the last rank having no special privileges. I also like the idea of clans having specific colors or gear that they wear.

Other than that, please use Socom's voice-chat system. Open mics would be terrible in this game. Like other users suggest, I don't think grenades that actually cause damage should be in the game. I'm really looking forward to the game and if Eidos learns from the success and mistakes of previous games this one should be a hit.

[Disciple_Clown]

I think you should be able to buy or steal your own car. Also to buy your own pad and to get a gurlfriend. and to get a dog to bite *****z ball's off when they get outta line.

Its not GTA

[Shugart BHD]

I don't think this game will be losing a whole lot of hype if they keep updating the website like they are. I checked out all the new content and it just pumped me up more. The music, guns, and new trailers look great. The gun shots sound a little fake and the grenades bounce a MASSIVE amount, but it still looks like its going to be fantastic.

[bboyplyr]

If the game is anything like socom as for the movement, and shooting it will be good.

[Braided Thug]

Im not a Modem user but im a Dsl'er And ive had this same problem over and over and over with Socom......Being booted off the server cause of the Connection speed that Gtcom gives me.Now If i have to switch companies just to play the game online imma take it back cause once the Computer a.i. gets old and i gotta wait for a good connection then screw it.So please don't have the whole game so that it wont let me play the game just have it so on multiplayer a person could set the losest ping a person can have to join

[Shugart BHD]

No one is going to set it for high ping, though, because who wants to have laggers in the room.

[Braided Thug]

But there might be a few modem users that just might set it to there level so they can play....

i really think the shooting looks more like GTA rather them socom but i hope they change that abit to make it more like socom aiming. i would take socom style aiming over GTA style aiming anyday GTA aiming is messed up

For it to work for modem, I would think that they would have to lower the limit on rooms (ex. from 16 to 10) and remove the use of the headset. I would think that that wouldn't be horribly fun, but that's me, I'm sure it'd be a blast for others.

[Braided Thug]

crud ignore what i said then x.x

[Klaydoggy]

Here's my 2 cents.


I agree with a previous poster that there is WAY too much SOCOM talk on this board. Now, I'm not a fanboy or anything, but SOCOM really isn't THAT good. It's just there isn't much better on the PS2. I have both SOCOM games, and I used to play them a lot, so please try not to flame me too hard.

Open Mic - Make it an option. I personally prefer open mic. I play most of my online gaming nowadays on the Xbox and find it WAY more useful than waiting your turn to hold down a button which then adds an additional 1.5 seconds (the beeping) to tell your team there is a guy behind you throwing grenades... and you know what.. after all that waiting, you all are still dead. THANKS for making me wait. Yes there are annoying people on open mic's from time to time, but it will save your team more often than not.

I thought I read somewhere that there will be more custiomizable content with beating the game on certain difficulty levels, kinda like in SOCOM. Is there any truth to that? I don't particularly like that idea, but eh.

I love the idea of having the cops arresting people to get a higher score, and the optional surrender option to lessen a negative score.

Realistic injuries would be cool to see. slower movement, less accuracy, maybe inability to hold a larger gun (pistols only)?

Respawn in a MUST. Make it an option, like in SOCOM. (Happy SOCOM fans?)

Flashbangs would be cool to have, they are always an asset in any game. Tear gas was a cool thing to have in games like Rainbow Six, the fuzzy screen was a nice touch.

Xbox LIVE could handle soo many more customizable things than the PS2 could. Really use it to it's full advantage. Increased clan support, the party system, matchmaking for people who only want to be a cop/gangsta, downloadable content, game patching, there is a lot to go with. Why people still play PS2 online is something I will never understand.

Oh dear GOD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't make the control scheme ANYTHING like SOCOM's... the quick1/quick2 layout is terrible and should have never been created. If you are to copy a game controller layout, make it like Killzone/Counter-Strike/Mercenaries. Or free customization. That always works.

Some guy mentioned layer of clothing, like a hat over a "doo rag" (sp?). Bad idea. more layers to render = more lag. make a separate hat that is both in one.

Lights/Lasers on guns is great. Run with that.

Ranking is soo overhyped. Yes it's cool to see how you are doind, but people can't accept if they suck and it gets bad. People get way too competitive in clan games, cheat the system, etc. Show your stats, but I wouldn't go as far as the SOCOM syle "Captains only" type rules.

Since the game was to be released fairly soon, and now it won't... why not take this time through all the "Quarterly loss/SCi deal" and release a demo. Unreal Championship 2 did that, and they were able to correct a lot of things in the game they didn't know existed.

I know I cut into SOCOM a lot in here, believe me, I do like the game, it just can't compare to what Xbox LIVE does.

[NinjaRaven]

Got a few good points there. I agree that they should make the controls able to be set anyway you want, like Red Fraction 2 and others. To bad Halo didn't do a toggle for crouch. I love socom, I wish xbox had a game like that, soon they will... (25tl). I hate how most xbox people flame the online ps2 crowd. Some people don't have $50 every year for live (Don't make fun). Most of my friends don't with having to pay for a high speed internet and rent, gets high. I myself have Xbox live, yet I find myself playing ps2 a lot more. Socom 2 and GTA San Andreas still best games ever, in my opinion. Also, if yall know about Halo 2's matchmaking, is absolutely TERRIBLE. Can't even join a room with maps you like, so stupid!

Anyway, laser sights are cool, I posted the idea on like every socom thread before the game came out. (Obviously they didn't listen, but maybe Eidos did?)

I'm glad they put in some real music, unlike socom. Please, make custom sound tracks for the xbox version though.

Xbox live downloadable content would be really good. But I can understand if yall are busy making the next 25 to life rather than making new levels.

Rank... Rank = cheaters, ever played halo2? Make it some everyone can VOTE people out if they cheat/glitch/not playing. Understand that I don't mind rank, if its done right I was #3 in the beta of socom 2, and held in the top 100 when the game came out before rank^ rooms.

If there is rank, please make it more by the individual than the team. Socom 2 does rank Mostly by rounds won/rounds lost, rather than looking into the individuals kills/deaths/objectives. Should be vice-versa.

Statistics are good, very good. I believe skill should be determined by kills/deaths. I'm glad to have read that this game will keep track of headshots etc.

Respawn (I hate respawn btw.) Make it an option like the other guy said. But by no means make it respawn only, you will lose 75% customers.

Shoot someone they die... What a concept. This should be in the game. Make sure the guns are powerful. Socom 1 hit detection/health > Socom 2.

Customizing your character sounds really good. Earning outfits that can take over a year to unlock from playing online (read that on a Q&A) Great!

Sorry for the "socom this socom that," but this game is compared to socom. Can't wait...

[blackcourage]

it we be cool to:

be able to put Banndanas in different places and many different colors.

be able to custmize gang threads

be able to get aressted and go to a living prison Ex. you have to spend time in there in hourly segements like 1hr for this crime, 2hr for this crime ETC. . .

you can get into fights in prison

be able to cusomize tattoos

have A LOT of different clothes
A LOT of diff faces and skin tones and hair styles

be able to take over territorys and be able to relax in a house sit down and talk not always have to walk around and be active.

be able to sell drugs and mabye do drugs/sell to other members

have the NARC bust in you house for drugs with you abd your boys

be able to rob banks and it be realistic and consrcewed ***ed up and .

drive bys and other good things

Mostly i want a working prison

also, i reference the others NO ***ing RESPAWN. make it like a contiuous world( not rounds) but if you die you respawn after and 3 hours or more

becasue it wouldnt be fun to never be able to respawn, nor to respawn asoon a you get killed

also OPEN MIC like others said becasue waiting your turn is SOOO ***ING DUMB

the lasers would be cool

ranks idiotic, the option to surrender is cool,

i like the realistic injures idea that would be really Great. but going to the hospital i would say make that realistic BUT to much realisticness ***s the game up.

the clothing like layer over layer it would be better than seprate be casue then they may not have what you want like i would want a hat over a banndana

you should have a rotation meter for you hat--side to side, back to front

one thing with clan/gang tags this is the streets not BF1942 or Socom

you should be able to have **group** clothes like you can wear what you want be have your **group** colors and Insigna on them to identify you

Severs that would be wierd for a game like this how would the plot of this game work. like in Americas Army and BF1942 and Socom i am sure you have an OBJECTIVE

that would be wierd for this. I dont want different severs i want TWO/THREE big ones but it would be so many people OMG lag would be HEEEELLLLL

like 2hr spikes and other

damn im tired of typing

**Gang or Clan**


thats about i t for me. . .

[BEER]

"also OPEN MIC like others said becasue waiting your turn is SOOO ***ING DUMB"-blackcourage.

so you like people screaming, coughing, sneezing, and belching in your ear all during a game?? i went online with nfsu2 just once, i refuse to get back online on the game because of the open mic, it's retarded and inconsiderate to everybody else with a headset.

[blackcourage]

with waiting your turn it could get so boring and you might need to say somthing right then and there.

i say let people make theri own rooms to chat and make where idiot can get kicked from the channel


becasue open is better yet it get a little RUFF at times and very annoying

[NinjaRaven]

Yeah it should definately be an option. I say the default should be set for non-open. If they have rooms like socom where its, "medley, breach medley, etc." For made rooms make it an option for open mic. For clan wars always have an open mic...

Also, a matchmaking for finding clan wars would be good. Let each team choose a map and then have the last map be an EVEN map and set at random. Options for all maps random, or picked maps... Of course gamebattles will probably have 25tl too, but finding clans to play can be a pain. Matchmaking just to put you in a room with a clan with the same # of people to talk would be good (so they can set up a match).

[blackcourage]

i want to make a suggestion on the talking but i must remeber this is PS2 and not PC

all i can say i hope it works out Good.
