"I bought into the hype. I pre-ordered SOCOM Confrontation to get in on the beta play. It was ok, but full of bugs. I remained optimistic about the final game though - thinking this will be awesome when they get all these bugs fixed and it runs smoothly.
WRONG!"
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.
Lulz so true.

"There’s a reason why I like XBox LIVE over PS3’s “free” online crap. Some things are worth paying for.
Come on Sony. You want people to shell out $400 for a piece of hardware and you think we’re too cheap to shell out $50/yr for online access.
There’s a reason why Microsoft is kicking your but this console generation. SOCOM Confrontation is a perfect example of why."
makes perfect sense!!
is so lame it is almost offensive to everyday readers. Why is it when a few people b1tch about a lock up or lag it is OMG IT'S FAIL! Yet last night myself and a friend as well as who knows how many other thousands played SOCOM without a hitch for about 5 hours? Granted day one through three were a bit rough but server stability has gotten a lot better. Not to mention it will be patched to address some client side issues soon. Ooh and for this to be approved is just lame as it is not news but a fanboy opinion piece and a biased one at that.
at the people who said this was gonna be a cod4 killer please. i knew this game wont compare. but some ppl do enjoy it so hey.
