Technical issues aside, there is no arguing the fact that SOCOM Confrontation is a very enjoyable online experience for the PlayStation 3 console. At the end of the day, it's up to the end user to determine what they should buy, but one thing is for sure, SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation is an online experience that shouldn't be passed up by any SOCOM fan, nor newcomer looking for the best online experience possible.
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.
Although the technical issues and some missing features as of now are bumming me out, I anticipate this game will be my Shooter of Choice once they get patched and ironed out, which I have no doubt about within time.
I really cannot excuse them from not having certain promised features from the beginning and the technical issues, but I also simply cannot ignore the fact that I love the core gameplay.
