One item which was left off of the SOCOM Confrontation 1.50 build notes was the change to the tie breaker logic. We did intentionally change this logic to make the tie breaker decided by number of kills per team rather than objectives completed for the game type. This change was made based on community feedback in order to prevent the exploits which were happening such as players suiciding our voting out their own teammates. We understand that this is a controversial change for some but we feel that the change is the right one to make especially as the clan ladders and tournaments start to heat up. It should be noted that this only applies in the situation where there is a tie and so completing objectives is still a requirement to win some of the game modes.
Thank you!
So we can end that debate...
But we still need tiebreakers!
Voice Chat Quality
Some users have noted that the quality of the voice chat has deteriorated and that the voice chat is significantly louder in the SOCOM Confrontation 1.50 update. We are looking into both issues. Part of this is a side effect of the bandwidth optimization made for the 1.50 update as the voice chat was using a very large amount of bandwidth which was causing latency (lag) issues for some users. We will try to improve this but we may not be able to restore the voice chat back to the same fidelity as before the 1.50 update as it would again cause latency (lag) issues for some users. We feel that the improved on-line performance is worth sacrificing a little bit of the quality of the voice chat.
I thought this was why. Honestly though, i'll take slighly lower voice chat quality in exchange for better online performance. It's still pretty good.

Thank you for getting rid of those exploits, however I still think Tie-breaker rounds are a better idea. Oh, and User Created Ranked Rooms too.
its nice to see you guys are on top of this.
concerning the tiebreaker rules, why couldnt a system like this be used?
I think every objective completed should count towards a point system similar to the old socom mvp system.
1 kill = 1 point for the team
1 bomb plant = 5 points for the team
1 bomb defusal = 5 points for the team
each nav point = 2 points for the team
each surviving teammate = 1 point for the team
each vip rescued = 2 points per vip for the team
each vip killed = 2 points per vip for the team
each friendly vip killed = -2 points for the team.
suicide = -5 points for the team
team kills = -2 points for the team
I think a system like this would reduce ties and give the better team the win. in the case of an actual draw the team with the most objectives wins
this worked in past socoms to determine the MVP so i dont see why it cant be used to pick the winning team.

But bomb plants don't even matter anymore?
I've seen it happen with a tie, we've had 2 plants and the other team had 0 yet they still won?
Bring back tie breaker round and old socom style point system.
