Hmmm, well I go to socom3.com I believe it is and there has been multiple complaints about the headset issues. People call sony and they say to open up some ports ect, some do and they work, some do and still nothing. What I think is it should be up to sony to do what it has to to fix that stuff not us, we never had to mess with ports before with socom 2, I know S3 is new and it will take awhile to find and fix these annoyances, hopefully it will be patched sometime soon. As for BF2 on ps2, I have yet to encounter any bugs and or problems. With all the action, explosions and so much going on it runs incredibly smooth. I don't know bout the xbox version, but I know the ps2 version works sweet online. (Not to say that I don't encounter lag at the odd time, but 98% of the time it's a hassle free gaming experience). I have only rented the game, but will be buying for sure on next pay, believe that. Maybe some more of us will too, guess we'll see what the future holds.
