Think each team has both, claymores have the obvious trip wire laser coming out of them so they are easy to see, PMN mines are great if you place them correctly. They do beep though so you can hear when you are near it.

We only have North American codes to give away; SCEE is handling the beta process for that region. I'm still investigating solutions for those that are EU, received a code, but it doesn't work, but as of now, I have no update

Well that's hardly fair. The answer should be "why would they go through the administrive hell, and complaints of unfairness, of giving away codes when the EU already has a team of beta testers set up exactly for this purpose".

does US not have a dedicated beta community

No, they have a different setup to the EU for betas.

SCEE are pretty slow with everything SOCOM related though, always have been the bottleneck.

Well now you are on to something completely different altogether. Sounds to me like you just want to moan...

Not really, its just a simple fact. SCEA have to deal with the USA and maybe Canada. They will have English and maybe Spanish language options.

SCEE have to push a game through about 11 different countries different certifications as well as deal with other localisation issues that could arise.

Socom is nowhere near as popular in the EU as it is in the US, however the fans it does have here as just as rabid as the US ones hence when US gets something EU want it to and the forums turn into a moanfest. But just look at how busy the forums are, on the whole if you were sony you wouldnt really be worrying yourself with the gripes of 25 people on a SOCOM forum.

Yeah Slick is right, except for Spanish speaking Canada... Think its more likely to be French.
