Play New SOCOM 3 Maps Off Your PSP

Have you already played all of the SOCOM 3 online maps? Are you ready for a new challenge? That’s the question posed in an eSEALs briefing today.

SCEA is making downloadable SOCOM 3 Map Packs available. Some of the most popular SOCOM/SOCOM II maps will be reformatted for play on SOCOM 3 The first Map Pack will include the SOCOM II classic HDD levels After Hours, Liberation and Last Bastion. For only $5.99 you’ll get SOCOM/SOCOM II maps updated to support multiple game types (including respawn) and both night and day versions are available. Brand new SOCOM 3 maps are also being created and will be available for download in the near future.

Apparently, you will only be able to purchase the maps in-game by downloading to a compatible USB Mass Storage Device (like a USB Flash/Thumb drive), internal hard disk drive (40GB) for PlayStation 2, or even the PSP system in USB Mode. Of course, the length of the download time will vary based on your Internet connection and the speed of the USB Mass Storage Device used.

All players can use the maps in LAN mode but in order to use it online it has to be purchased with your current SOCOM 3 account. Once purchased, the maps can be downloaded as many times as you like, so no need to worry if you lose your USB Flash/Thumb drive. Note that these maps can only be used for online and LAN gaming, not single player.

Thanks for the tip, Keith Goldrick!
