CheatCC says: "SOCOM: Confrontation is certainly looking good at this point. The only real issue here seems to be the lag, and since the development team has said explicitly that they are working to resolve this issue, don't count on it as being that big of a problem in the final release."
Last year I wrote an article titled, The State of SOCOM. I discussed my
love and history for the beloved third person shooter that helped pioneer
online multiplayer on consoles. It has been six years since we last had a
new SOCOM game.
Baffles me as to why they have not done anything with this franchise. Seeing as how it was #1 on the official PlayStation poll.
With all the trash put up weekly on the App Store why has nobody done a clone of this yet. I've been playing Defiance as my go to 3rd person since 2013 but still nothing like that old school Socom/Socom 2 up all night gameplay.
the only game on that list that's like socom is wild land if you want socom type games then you will have to invest in a PC
RAINBOW SIX: is the closest you'll get to Socom.
Also, in response to @lookatthisi
They let go the creators, and I think socom is a game that's hard to clone even the creators had a hard time making Socom 2, Socom 3.

"Would you purchase a game you can’t play for a single penny? Video game retailer GameStop seems to think that it is worth trying to sell to this market."
Depends the situation. Usually if they have a trade in X and get Y bonus for preowned purchases, a store will let you have the excess credit if you make 1 purchase and 1 cent is cheap enough where I wouldn't have to bother returning it or eating the cost out of laziness.

MAG will be missed, my all-time favorite shooter. They're shutting servers down in January.
I also think the lag is the only problem.Other than that,the guns are fine,visuals are decent,sound is spot-on and the maps are well made.
Why does everybody always have to say that the SOCOM single player campaign has always been lackluster. That was the original reason I bought the SOCOM game and loved all 4 campaigns that I played through. I was really hoping for another single player campaign in this game and was slightly disappointed when I heard there wasn't going to be one. I'm sure the multiplayer experience will be great and will be getting this game on day one. Hopefully Zipper will bring a SOCOM game out after MAG.
But the beta has been good, except for the lag...a lot of people are hating on this socom...when it is visually worlds better than the old socom...sure there is lag...but remember the warhawk beta? The Final version of this game will be just as good...as long as there are a lot of maps and the lag is gone. it looks like they are using the warhawk engine...so the graphics were always gonna be good.
Does the actual game look better than the movie they released a while ago? (It's on the Japanese PSN now, but I don't know when it was released.)
Character models okay? Weapons look good?
as I have not played them. But one thing I can tell you is that this game is fun. I can't tell you how great it is when you're clicking with a random group of people you have never played with before. I was on the shelf about this game, since I'm not really into multiplayer, but this one is a day one.
