SOCOM4

[Fenway]

I got out of console games with the PS2. I loved SOCOM and SOCOM2. thinking about getting a 360. Any thoughts on SOCOM these days?

All of the SOCOMs have been pretty badass.

Get a 360, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

SOCOM is PS exclusive, so if that's the game you really want, don't get a 360.

That being said, 360 is the system to have because XBL kicks the crap out of PSN. (I have both and I rarely play the PS3 because PSN is such a hassle)

SOCOM fanatic since the very first one, slant six ruined socom confrontation but I got socom 4 on tuesday and although I am stuck playing the single player because the PSN is down right now I feel that zipper has brought back socom to it's glory. great to know you like socom man, it makes you that much cooler.

PSN is better than XBL just for the fact I don't have to pay for it. plus xbox don't have no blu ray mang.

A "hacker" group calling themselves Anonymous has been effing Sony's' world up lately , might not want to get the socom 4 just yet .

I won't deny that PS3 is a great system. I love mine. PSN is clunky and harder to use and lacks features. Like anything you get what you pay for. This topic is for another thread though, not trying to hijack.

Just don't want anyone buying a 360 thinking that SOCOM4 will be available on it though.

PS3 only.... Don't like that

The original SOCOM games were amazing!

 

[Cru]

Call of Duty and Battlefield are the games for 360. Battlefield 3 is supposed to be amazing... not out until late fall.

SOCOM 1 was good, never played 2 or 3 because at that point I was on XBL constantly. Actually I think I was playing racing games more than anything during that time period.

Ha, I didn't know that...I've never bought any of the Socom games because my buddies always have them and now that you mention it, I'm always playing on PS3.

I still like 360 a lot more...Anyone I know that has both PS3 and 360 rarely ever play their PS3.

I love SOCOM, the first will always be the best. I actually had fun with Confrontation even.

As far as PS3 vs Xbox, I have both but I prefer the PS3, it's nice not being called a fa**ot or ni**er, and even if they did, at least you're not paying for people to call you those things.

Also, 360 doesn't have Metal Gear Solid 4.



XBL: Remington1187

if anybody cares.

One thing I've noticed over the years ps3 online names are mostly weed related while xbox users tend to go with more fantasy sci fi-ish tags. I always thought it was funny.

 

[Fenway]

weed related.. lol examples?

 

[Sweetums]

I have a PS3. It's an awesome system. I've never really played online with it, so I can't really comment on that. As far as military shooting games go, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising was AWESOME. I remember getting chills in the opening cut scene for the campaign. I've found that I like the "sand box" style games the best. I like the ability to roam and have objectives, instead of a "scripted level" for example.

I do have interest in SOCOM 4, but I was wondering if anyone has used it with the Move Sharpshooter attachment? It looks sweet, but my main curiosity, was if it worked at point of aim? I want to be able to look down a set of "sights" on top of the weapon and have it lined up with where it impacts on the screen.

You liked "Confrontation"?

 

[tv1217]

I payed about 10 bucks for Flashpoint and I still think I payed too much.

Confrontation gets more crap than it deserves, IMO

weed related.. lol examples?

Lotta stuff like WakeNbake666 or JointStrikeFighter420


It's funny he brought that up, a lot of those people actually come from the original SOCOM player community.

 

[LotsofGlocks]

SOCOM 4 rocks

Ive been on the socom since the first one on PS2 with the old school usb mic, my favorite was socom 2 for sure. I only play online. Tyler is right once zipper allowed slant six to make confrontation it went down hill. I picked up the deployment pack on tuesday with socom 4 and the sharpshooter is alright but not my cup of tea. The online co-op is bada** though IMO. That being said since I always refer to socom as my SOcrack I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys 3rd person shooters. It will keep me busy till the new battlefield 3 comes out hopefully in Nov. If you all haven't seen the videos check it out.

I enjoyed the Socom games back on the PS2 as well, but I have had my 360 since they came out and I love it! My friends and I are still playing Battlefield bad company 2 and we got it a year ago when it came out! Battlefield 3 looks awesome and I can't wait, Call of Duty is fun also but hasn't had the staying power that Battlefield online has. Funtastic.

Edit: My gamertag is fordtough25. Big surprise ha
