Zipper Interactive has sent out a new patch for SOCOM 4 for all its fans out there. It should not only be able to clean up the bugs, but also implement some cool new things that fans "should appreciate."

Senior Community Manager Jeremy Dunham posted the announcement of the patch's arrival over at their official game website, saying that: "[S]tarting today you'll findmore polished camera reactions, additional control customization options, a number of refinements to the Clan Challenge feature, and some pre-loaded files that prepare SOCOM 4 for the release of our upcoming SOCOM Pro Assault Pack."

The Pack is said to arrive later today, and the other best part about it is that it's going to come to you absolutely free. Now as for the changes that patch v1.03 bring, you can check them out below.

SOCOM 4's Pro Assualt Pack is the special bonus that brand new owners of the game will be getting, first announced back in April. About a month ago, Zipper Interactive announced the unfortunate news that their company had to lay off several staff members.
