More confrontation Q & A

Will confrontation's friends list be a mirror of your xmb friends list, or will it be an independent supplement to the xmb list?
The Confrontation friends list will be the same as your XMB friends list.

Will sniping be relatively the same as SOCOM 3???
It will be similar but because this is not a port there are going to be some differences. Quick sniping is no longer possible!

Can the proximity chat be turned off? Will the player be able to turn it off and just use PTT?
Proximity chat is always on. If you don’t want to give away your position or that of your team then you will have to use your mic tactically, whisper into the mic or otherwise be aware of your position relative to the enemy.

Since there will be a weight factor concerning weapons and such, if you shoot and your ammo decreases, does your speed increase? Same with throwing grenades, smokes, etc.
The encumbrance system is completely real-time, and updates as you expend ordnance such as grenades and rockets.
