Despite the release of the awesome Killzone 2 and some above-average downloadable content, not everything is peachy keen with the folks at Sony. No, sir. Beneath that glossy exterior of the PlayStation 3 lies a dark horse that's leaving a certain part of a game community feeling burdened and cheated. We're talking about SOCOM Confrontation, and the story isn't pretty. Let The Start Screen fill you in on some details.
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.
Its a very fun game. Probably in my top favorite shooters really.
Most of the bugs are gone now.
In the past several nights I have spent countless hours - 4 or so and the experience has been flawless. There are tons of people on line and not one complaint among them. In fact there have been flashes of SOCOM II, but without the lag.
i got the bundle for 29.99 now the headset cost 24.99 so the game was a fiver,five quid and people are moaning for a free online game of socom,okay its not the socom graphics i thought it would be this gen,but its not a forty quid game,the game play is still there,now being it only come out 13/3/2009 in the uk i have had no problems with it what so ever,i just hope they take up the graphics to killzone levels then i,m really impressed.zipper would have done it better theres no doubt about that in terms of graphics but there time is better spent on mag i have high hopes for this one,its also another new ip for the ps3 so that can,t be a bad thing now.
it is meant to be a sarcastic title as in "the game still has connection problems and glitches you ran into at the beginning of the game's launch most part" thank you
