SOCOM: Confrontation launched yesterday and while it comes right out of the box with many of the features gamers were expecting (and a Bluetooth mic if you got that edition), many others seem to be missing.
This list includes good clan support and what most people are complaining about, the ability to follow friends into a game.
Welcome to the world where consoles have hard drives and their games are just as "finished" as PC games. Can you say day 1 patches?
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.
Lies,I have it and it has all the features promised.
Fantastic bluetooth headset btw
Proximity chat!!? this guy is complaining about it, thats one of the best functions, if you want to be dumb enough to talk the whole time you play, youre dumb enough to die because of it. i love proximity chat for so many reasons.
Can you say "Wah wah baby?"
Actually other people are complaining, I'm just pointing it out. I think it's a great idea and yes, it's more realistic to hear everything going on around you. The problem I think is that people are comfortable with their secret channels and weren't expecting this change.
I noticed the quick matches, tournaments and the calender options are no longer in the menu. I hope they get the quick matches up and running because its like the party system in COD and Halo.
edit: It would be nice if more than one person could talk at the same time. It gets annoying when someones mic is stuck on and no one else can talk because of it.
