Socom Blog: "Hi, Folks-
The QA team is working their way through Patch 1.50. It's a big update with a lot of new features. We will announce details on its release in a future update.
In the meantime, I found out some details about the Tournament Matches so I wanted to share some of that with you today."
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.
Socom Blog: "Hi, Suckers-
The QA team is somewhat working our way through Patch 1000.57. It's a big update with a few features that should of shipped with the game. We will announce details on its release in a Fall 2009 update.
In the meantime, I found out some details about the Tournament Matches (which are also in your instruction manual; pg 7),so I wanted to share some of that with you today:
** "Haze", "Lair", "Too Human", even Hannah Montana have nothing on the crappiness of this game. Who in thier right mind releases a game without the features that are on the back of the game box and mentioned in the instructional manual?
6 Months later and the game is still not complete. Socom Confrontation the biggest "flop" ever.
I thought this has been posted already. Do that few people visit the SOCOM blog?
They visit just to tell Slant 6 at how horrible a job they are doing.
Check out the Comments for each article, then factor that by 2 because the mods clean out half of them. Slant 6 has a lot of guys releasing another game when their last game still doesn't have features that are on the back of the box. Commercial suicide since the only sales the game will get are from naive people whom aren't fans.
"Who in their right mind releases a game without the features that are on the back of the game box and mentioned in the instructional manual?"
Well I dont know for the launch of the game in the US but I have bought Socom just two weeks ago and I am looking at the back of the box:
1.Create your own soldier, customize their kit and weapons, then wage war in stunning online battleground-check
2.Unrivalled squad managment and community support features in collaboration with SOCOM.com-well if i know what they meant with that
What else? I am looking through the manual, all the modes are there, all the features are there, the only bugs I have encountered are the lost of sound. The party system works great, chat is the best one yet of of all online games I have played(Warhawk,MGO,COD,K2,R1&a mp;2). It looks to me that you hate this game little too much. In its present state its better than all the games I have mentioned.
lol i said i just got the game and i am from europe, so i guess they have removed the features you said, web browser and clan ladders are the only thing i am missing now
