Expanding on SOCOM 3, Sony and Zipper Interactive announced new map packs for the game that will be available starting next month. Each map pack will cost $6 and will be compatible with USB drives, the PS2 internal hard disk drive or a PSP with Memory Stick media.
The first map pack will be available next month, and will feature updated fan favorite SOCOM II maps After Hours, Last Bastion and Liberation which were previously only available to owners of the PS2 HDD. These maps have been reworked to add the latest SOCOM 3 features including multiple game types per map, respawn modes, day and night options and weapon customization.
The second and third map packs will be released over the subsequent months and will feature classic maps from the original SOCOM as well as original maps.
