If you're a die-hard SOCOM fan with a PlayStation 3, you're hopefully among the lucky thousands who are juggling firepower and encumbrance right now on the SOCOM: Confrontation beta. GameSpy has been earning our chops online -- getting chopped is actually more like it -- and are just as ready for Slant 6's shooter as you are. To whet your appetite for next month, they've got a new look at an old classic. Here's a glance at the new Frostfire, a redux from 2002's SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs.
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.
oh hell yea
i cant wait to get on that map..
i hope they bring back desert glory, rats nest, fox hunt also
hell bring them all back
WoooooooooooW
We need another patch. Score system is really f**ked now.
so i'll let out my true feelings:
Wii for the MFW!!!
PS3 and Xbox is the suxxorz!
Socom would have been better on the Wii
:)
Yeah the Beta at this point is trash. I cant play it and have a good time without incredible lag or long loading times. not too mention accessing something as simple as leader boards can cause your ps3 to work overtime. I hope they clean up the game because it really does have alot of potential. its fun when it can be, but frustrating at the Beta stage. And dont release anymore patches. They take hours to download and the Beta is almost over anyway.
