Initial recon indicates subject is returning to previous areas of operation. "Crossroads is by far the fan favorite," Luisi says, "so we definitely wanted to show what this level would look like in the next generation. We're trying to maintain a smaller size; the largest level in this game is going to be smaller than anything we had in SOCOM 3. And so while we are going to expand Crossroads out a bit, it's not going to be this huge, expansive area. All the other maps we're going to ship initially with the game are all going to be new."
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.
dont know much about this game, is this just purely online?
Ifs its just online it kind of sucks. i was hoping for a good single player.
I give it a go if a online demo or something is relesed.
The first SOCOM is one of the worst online games ever created. The game is so flawed it's ridiculous. People were hiding inside rocks, the hit detection was laughable. The good players were only good because they used the flaws to their advantage for example sniper in a rock ( You can't hit him but he can hit you) In fact, the game was so flawed, the developer secretly released a newer version for sale without fixing the rest.
If anybody denies this, than they clearly never played it.
ill probably pick it up, always looking for a new online shooter!
@RonDeMuerte - who are you calling an idiot, i was explaining why i dont mind peer to peer.
@fanboi - i do play it a lot, i must have a good connection, tho i would of prefered it if they copied bungie and had multiple hosts that would of stoped this host quit sh!t that sometimes happens.
@douche - i understand where you are coming from, but when it comes to ranked games i like it that u cant specify where u go and what map and stuff so there is less cheating by teams, i play mercenary TDM on cod4 for that reason
