1 week away from a release date and more info from EGM. Who the hell would play as a member of Frances special forces? Theyre probably the fastest since they need to be able to run away from firefights.

SOCOM Confrontation Special Forces Unveiled
Check out which groups you'll be able to join.
By Joe Rybicki, 03/20/2008

As we revealed early this month, the May issue of EGM has a blow-out cover story on SOCOM Confrontation. Along with the loads of other Confrontation info in the story, you'll find a list of all the different special forces included in the game. Joining a special force is now a perk associated with joining a clan; solo players will still be able to play as either commandos or mercenaries, but special forces (and their associated uniforms, gear, and weapons) will only be available to clan members.
Only, er, we got the list a little bit wrong in the mag. So here, for the first time anywhere, is the complete, correct lineup of special forces available at launch, complete with links to Wikipedia entries for the real-life organizations.


Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEALs, United States)
Special Air Service (SAS, United Kingdom)
Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK, Germany)
Unidad de Operaciones Especiales (UOE, Spain)
1er Régiment de Parachutistes d'Infanterie de Marine (1er RPIMa, France)


To reiterate, neither Italy's COMSUBIM nor France's GIGN will be included in the game... at least not in the initial release. You can get all the other information you need on SOCOM Confrontation when the May issue of EGM begins arriving in subscriber's mailboxes next week!

i dunno.. seems like there copying COD, and also I dont like that they still arent calling them terrorists anymore, makes me think there might not be blood in the game..

Hopefully the reason they are including all those different factions is to offer different camo, weapons, etc. to customize as individuals similiar to Rainbow6 Vegas, but it almost sounds likes they are pitting different countries against each other instead of straight military vs. mercenaries.
