This thread has been linked to the game 'SOCOM 3 : US Navy Seals'.
Unless you've been tied up in a cupboard for the last few days you'll have seen the hype started to churn out on various websites following Sony's Official Announcement that SOCOM 3 is due to hit the stores "this fall" (it was announced in the USA, probably looking at Feb/Mar 2006 for Europe).
Features include (offline at least):
Maps 6 times bigger than previously.
Save points during missions.
Land and water-bourne vehicles which your squad can use.
Weapon customisation - 30 weapons and attachments, nearly 1000 possible combinations.
Improved AI (take out the AI leader and the AI grunts will start to flap)
Swimming.
Theatres of operation include Morocco, Poland, and Bangladesh.
Not sure if they're going to include a level whereby your squad of SEALs have to insert on Dartmoor to take down an illegal fox hunting party, more on that as it happens (or not, as the case may well turn out to be).

It's coming out late 2006, from what I gather.
They're not going to stop making PS2 games because the PS3 is coming out 8 months later.

Umm....gamespot says it will be released in quarter 3 of 2005
Brother's In Arms is coming out soon and looks pretty good so maybe that'll take SOCOM's place.
:(
I feel like getting SOCOM II again now...

Excellent. Shame about the wait, but this is going to rock. And hopefully they'll sort out the awful online ranking system.
But the PS3 will be coming out not too long after that, they might aswell wait for the PS3 and do a version for that instead.

And it's gonna be for the PS2, not the PS3?
