1 - Game is still fun......
and I enjoy it when I play it but I still wish /6 wouldn't have fuked it up so bad.

I always wonder what it would have looked like if GG would have developed it or Zipper.

Until then I'm waiting for that gameplay footage from MAG.

1.1 - Refund...
This is the first game I have ever purchased and wanted a refund. Sure, I have picked up games that I have disliked before and you know what, I should have done my research before hand.

I purchased this game because I needed something to play. It isn't a bad game by any means, just put together in such a horrible way, it still should be in development. Even with the updates, it is a long way from being complete.

The biggest problem is the freaking load times. WOW. These are the longest load times I have ever experienced...ever. Painful to watch and some times, painful to play.

The whole system is slow and buggy and needs to be refreshed BIGTIME.

I want a refund. No company should push a title out the door when it is far from being complete enough to even play. Eventually it will get there though and the problems will be solved.

Too bad the graphics stink. No fixing that I am sure. It looks like PS2 character models running around on 1st generation 360/ps3 backgrounds. The rocks look pretty good, the characters do not.

Yep, I want a refund.

Zipper should not have been any better. They ruined Socom 3. At lest we have communication with /6, something Zipper never provided. Dont expect MAG to be spectacular either, but who knows.

As for GG developing it, I would be worried about it being way too arcady. Socom does not need to be like KZ2, Halo, R2, or any FPS game. It is so much better than those games.

Socom 3 was way better then Confrontation. I just can't stand the fact that some people will be such fanboys to defend anything with a Socom name on it.

I'm a huge fan of Socom over all, but Slant Six made a crappy game.

@Panther,

Zipper Interactive made Socom what it is, and as far as I'm concerned Sony should have told Zipper to stick with making the next sequel being that Socom is supposed to be one of Sony's flagship titles. So if you don't like Zipper, then how did you ever become a Socom fan? Doesn't make sense.

Either way i hate Socom games. The clan nerds/geeks/losers in it piss me off. When I play a game i want the choice of

1) Playing Solo
2) Not using a mic
3) Camping
4) Being Rambo

I don't care if this is a team based game. When I PAY for a game i play the way I WANT.

let me explain it again, those 4 points i listed are looked down upon in the Socom Community. If you do either of them you get team killed, kicked (out of the room)or sworn at. I am saying when i play a game i should have a choice in the way i play, the 'community' shouldnt dictate how i play.

Ok, so what if team killing is someone's "way"? Is that alright then? No. Play the game as its meant to be played, for the sake of yourself, and the other people playing. Trust me, it's 100x more fun and rewarding to play socom tactically. Give it a try. You might even find that it's better than playing solo.

Your comment makes about as much sense as hating a Gran Turismo game for not allowing you to get out of your car and start shooting at the other racers....There are games that are aimed for what you want.

I am one of the people that would vote you out. Not wearing a mic is terrible. Socom is the first PS3 game to get most people wearing a headset because if they dont, they will be voted.

Same goes for doing your own thing. Doesnt work in Socom, especially if you are sucking. If you run off and get 4-5 kills, the awesome. But if you always die and suck, voted

The mic is fantastic. I have both the Socom w/ mic bundle and the Warhawk w/ Mic bundle. This mic beats the hell out of the Warhawk mic. It's not even a contest. I always had problems with the Warhawk mic just not working randomly after a match ended. It would just stop transmitting my voice, I could still hear everyone but they couldn't hear me. That's never happened with the new one for me. Also, it has nice indicators for battery power on the XMB, it connects with much greater ease, it has better audio quality, and the battery life is about three times longer. It's complete win.

3.3 - The Mic is OK
Sound quality is great, but very uncomfortable for me. Someone on N4G suggested to me that I remove the rubber ring around the earpiece, and it did become slightly more comfortable.

For $50 there are better bluetooth sets out there.

@callahan09 - Actually, this set connects much slower then the Jabra that came with Warhawk, although it's a minor issue and I'd still pick the Sony set over Jabra, because of quality.

Socom is my fav. online game of all time.
Slant 6 is a complete disgrace to the development community.
I will NEVER buy a game from these noobs again.
Worst part is they DONT listen to the community. They dont CARE about the community. They took a solid and luv'd Franchise and turned it into a learning experience for themselves.
I have never seen so much hate from a community before.
I still play it though

I would of agreed with you but only if you were talking about Zipper and Socom 3. I had all of those feelings with Socom 3. Not with this game. This game is awesome now. So much better than Socom 3

5 - my 2 cents
well in my opinion, the game is really good and i enjoy playing it, that being said it has problems that make you not want to play it anymore. like when your shooting someone and they disappear and reaper then your dead, or getting killed when your behind cover and you don't even know who killed you and those load time are dreadful. there's more but i don't have time to list them, my problem is they shut the servers down for 2 hours every day and they don't fix these issues, WTF! all n all i still play it. for the guy that wants to play the way he wants to i agree with you on that but the game is meant to be played a certain way, i suggest you play unranked or find players that think like you and game on. always game on!! just my 2 cents.

Your reasons are the same reasons I stopped playing. I don't understand, however, how anyone can experience these issue and still say it's a good game? It's like saying "It's a great shooter, except that technical problems prevent you fromm shooting people"

I only bought the game cuz I wanted the new headset and I figured that paying 10 bucks extra to get it with this game seemed like a good idea. It wasn't a waste, I've had a few hours of fun with it, but I wish that all the ranked games weren't non-respawn, because it's making it very difficult for me to get decent at it when I only get 1 measly life each round, the community is way better than I am, and I can't play bots or a single-player campaign to practice.

You should still practice in respawn, but respawn will NEVER be ranked in Socom. The day that happens is the day Socom dies.

9 - I love socom.
I love MGO

I cycle back & forth with these two games.
Its great competition.

I've been getting my a$$ kicked lately that its forced me to take a break.
Whew! All these great games are burning me out. I've gained a couple pounds &
need to workout. Won't be too long now until spring.

I know what I'll do! I make some dedicated server games. That should still be gamer like of me.
oh hey, what are you looking at? Did I just say all this out loud? I did? Oh okay, well then mind your own business & socom rocks.

If you have a wireless connection don't even play Socom. I'm a Socom head from way back. It's the most tactful shooter out, most people don't like because it doesn't play like call of duty. Call of duty is played out and boring nobody talks and there is no teamwork at all. Socom is for people that can work together and achieve victory, not respawn all day spawn camp. Socom rules
