"When SOCOM Confrontation was first released on the PlayStation 3, it was plagued with connection problems, which left fans a little less than impressed. Weeks after its release, the game received a patch which fixed the issues and everyone was happy. Here we are two years later and the game is just seeing it's first expansion pack, but it was worth the wait..." - Just Push Start
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.
hooo ra
I was VERY disapointed with SOCOM from back in the PS2 days and the PS has never changed my opinion one bit. As the author said Its to DARK and I have to agree. There are much better games either out there now or coming in the near future.
I guess if your a fan of the game then this add on maybe worth it ,but I'll stick to GRAW,CoD/mw 1&2,and the upcoming MAG and Battlefield/BC2 when playing the PS3.
