Help get rid of Glitchers, Coders, Cheaters and make the game fun again.
Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) and Zipper Interactive have developed the SOCOM Fire Team Bravo for thier users to have a fun on-line gaming experience.
Some users in the community believe in their statistics over honor. They will go to any means to win. This includes moving outside of normal pixel collision areas, special abilities in game, unlimited/additional explosive ammunition, invincibility, hidden game tags, one shot kills, the list goes on.
Browncoats believe in a fair fight. Using other means other than teamwork and controller skill to win is more than just unfair, it is also a violation of Sony's On-line End User Agreement.
Every user who logs into the Socom On-line Universe is required to agree to a legal and binding contract by Sony. 99.9% of all users agree to this without actually reading it. Among several things the contract discusses, a section focuses on actual game play.
If you find someone exploiting the game, cheating, using codes, glitching, being abusive, or spamming the mic and/or lobby, there is something you can do.
Contacts at SCEA have assured us that the details of ever game are logged and are reviewable. Within this data is some form of cheat detection. If the details of a round are provided, SCEA can review the data and determine if a user was doing something to exploit the game. SCEA has users who will enter games to investigate players who are suspect in violating the On-line User Agreement.
