Being a fan of partially-realistic military shooters, I (Jason from GameNTrain) have always held a special place in my heart for SOCOM. Even when I got Confrontation a year after everyone else, constantly voted out of rooms because I was level one and sometimes took an hour to find a game, I still love this series. So needless to say I’ve been patiently waiting for the release of the online beta. In short, it’s a blast but thats just my opinion. It’s pretty overwhelming at first with the TPS camera and its control scheme but once you get through the 1.9 gig download and your first game, you’ll catch the fever…at least most of you will. A rundown shall we?
Original-Gamer.com: "Sony has decided to shutdown the servers for SOCOM Confrontation, SOCOM 4, and MAG in January 2014. SOCOM 4 and MAG were developed by Zipper Interactive while SOCOM Confrontation was developed by Slant Six Games."
MAG community is far from dead, why?
And no wonder GameStop has been selling the game used for $0.99. It's an online-only game too
That's the only problem I have with digital downloads and multiplayer only games. If they shut the servers down your screwed...
H-Hour. We need you. Deliver the tactical third person shooter goods that we deserve!
Announced yesterday, a couple of former Zipper developers are lacing up their boots again in preparation to begin working on new tactical shooter, Takedown.
I was looking forward to that game but now that zipper is touching it? I dont know they been making crap for almost 10 years now Socom 1 and 2 are the only thing good they have done
"TAKEDOWN will be developed on PC as the lead platform, and then brought to consoles afterwards"
PC is lead platform then consoles coming after.
so the tags are messed up.
I can't wait to see what David Jaffe does on pc unless it's a facebook game.
In this Episode, Jack is joined by Commander Claymore Fury via SatCom as they discuss the 2011 Tournament Season and what is in store for 2012. The Nuketown Hooligans bring a little Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops tips and Lt. Leadhead brings us Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
"Tired of CoD? Socom is for you..."
hahaha.... funny.. good Joke
I don't agree with this, but a ton of people were saying stuff like that while I was playing the beta. I liked it though.
In COD you get ppl that camp and they kill you without even seeing them... reason for a kill cam but its also why its for noobs
Socom no kill cam and you will see who killed you.. Much more tactical and much more fun for me then COD.. I wont lie.. I love COD but Socom is more my speed.
Cant wait to get some friends on mic and making pistol only rooms :-)
excited to try this beta next week. I havent played a SOCOM since I rented one back in jr high when renting was the thing to do.
Im playing the beta and i dont camp :)
