Socom: Confrontation - Walkthrough part 1&2

Panthers - 66 days 15 hours ago

I do not want any melee at all in this game. Melee ruins every game it has been in like Halo and COD4

well melee doesnt really kill every game if you play halo its all about melee when youre using the assault rifle and shotgun but when it comes to the previous socom games its all about tactical run n gun and what makes socom so good for me are the fights when players meet each other they move left to right and they rely on their aiming and move in a way to confuse the other player but in halo when players meet depending on what weapons they use they play differently for example if you have a battle rifle you should keep your distance from the enemy and if you have the assault rifle you have to run to the enemy in order for the assault rifle to be effective and thats what i like about socom because players keep their distance from the enemy and rely on their aiming and another thing in halo no matter what gun players use grenade are always involved in a fight and in socom grenades are rarely used in a fight because the throwing is slow compared to halo and other games

The graphics won't win any awards but I like the look of the game.

Maybe the reason why its not up with the other shooters is because this is not the real socom, and that zipper is working on the true version aka the story and online like the past socoms, and like i said compared to the other socoms it has improved in terms of graphics, im not sure if you ever played socom in your life, because either way 95% of the time you talk down about PS3 games anyway.

Why does fable 2 look mediocre and Gears 2 look awesome? There's more than 100 people in the development that are making Killzone 2. It all depends how much money they invest into the graphics. It doesn't really matter because SOCOM was the best selling online game on PS2 and will be a good seller on PS3.

Socom was never about graphics dude. In fact this is a pretty good leap from the PS2 versions.

this is a big improvement over ps2 socom and will be a very nice distraction until the true next gen socom will come out (socom4 by zipper). think of this as a beta of sorts for socom 4. and socom is not all about graphics, it's about realism and TACTICS. it's very rare one guy dominates the other team, you have fixed health with no health packs so you must play smart and be quick. i'm just still pissed they changed "terrorists" to "mercenaries"...

This isn't the ESPN boards, you don't excel at it, and we all know GRAW copied the TPS formula FROM socom. It was another run of the mill FPS before and the devs realised a lack of TPS on next gen consoles (unless you think 4vs4 is next gen). But I digress.

There are so many things wrong w/ GRAW - like momentum when running and aiming (cool concept but poorly implemented), EVERY gun sounds the same, all ranged gunfire and no CQB combat (I guess Ubi wants you to buy R6V so you can have both dynamics), terrible lvl design (the worst Middle Eastern maps besides the budget title Soldier of Fortune), etc.. the list goes on. I wish I had never played GRAW2, the only thing it did was make me jonez for MGO and SOCOM months too soon.

I've played Socom on the Ps2 and it was great, but that was years ago.

This is 2008. The first GRAW was released over 2 years ago and this game looks like crap compared to it.

Extremely basic gameplay and graphics that look like something on the PS2. You must have really low standards to get excited over something like this.

Even if it's a budget title I bet you can pick up GRAW 1(360 only though) or 2 cheaper.

The multiplayer component in GRAW 2 is excellent, but "you really never have played it, have you"?

I would love to know what sense of accomplishment you get by submitting PS3 news and then trolling on it.

@ Jenzo
Yes, it's a good console. Owned one since early 2007.

I have also submitted MGS 4 news and other PS3 related news. I just can't see how anyone can be hyped over this after seeing the walkthrough vids. It looks like sh!t. What can you do besides run & shoot?

It's one thing to be hyped up about MGS4 or Killzone 2 or LBP, that's completely understandable, but some of you guys seem unable to criticize anything that is related to Sony and the PS3. Not even dog poo like this...

@Riotsquad - Two of my friends own PS3's so I get to play most games on a regular basis. Do you own a 360?

if SOCOM sucks then why has it sold really well and is praised to this day by its fans

its a big game for Sony- people love the SOCOM formula

not me personally, but i know many people that do

i know you submit PS3 news, i've seen your submission history

but it's kinda fishy how you submit the news and your first comment is it sucks

im not going to defend a sh!t PS3 game- thats why you never see me mention crap like Naruto

SOCOM however, is not a sh!t game- i may not be a huge fan or anything, but i've played it and its good fun

As I wrote in my second comment: "I've played Socom on the Ps2 and it was great, but that was years ago. This is 2008..."

I respect you cause you usually make reasonable comments. My worries about this game is not the graphics, it's that the gameplay looks extremely basic and full of bugs(just check the first vid where the car blows up).

fair enough

but it is an alpha build after all

this probably won't be a huge improvement over SOCOM 3

but my point is that the new maps, updated graphics, a few new mechanics and an excellent online service (in comparison to the PS2 which was a shambles) alone will enitce SOCOM fans

i never said SOCOM is the second coming of Freddy Mercury, but its loved franchise
