Sony has fed us new morsels on the sequel to PSP squad shooter SOCOM US Navy SEALS Fire Team Bravo. It has the same name but with a '2' on the end. (Come on, you didn't expect us to type all that out again).
The gritty, sophisticated military franchise may be shrunken down, but it has peppered up the sequel with new non-linear mission progression (choose what to tackle and when), a persistent performance rating system, bonus objectives, and the ability to purchase airstrikes, satellite intelligence and supply drops.
You will even be able to up your influence in civilian areas, using your know-how to buy weapons and information from the black market. As for multiplayer, 16 players can compete/co-operate in close proximity (via Ad Hoc mode) and nationwide (via Infrastructure Mode). Three new multiplayer modes consist of Tug-Of-War, Capture The Flag and Target.
It all shapes up to arguably one of the deepest and most absorbing titles for the PSP thus far, with expanded online support keeping the human aspect alive. It's out this Autumn.
