As an added bonus for those awaiting the forthcoming SOCOM: Confrontation v1.30 patch, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has revealed that a previously unannounced feature – Quick Match – will also be included in the forthcoming update.
Once downloaded, the patch will activate the Quick Match option under the main menu. Hit that, and you’ll be taken to a party screen where you’ll be able to have a friendly chin wag with your friends while you wait for other players to accept invites to join in a game.
As soon as everything is prepared, you’ll be given the option of choosing from the following game modes:
-16×16 Ranked
-16×16 Unranked
-16×16 Respawn
All Large maps and game modes will be available, though play lists will be chosen at random. Apparently, Sony is also cooking up plans to expand on this area via future updates, so stay tuned for any further information.
