In my previous impressions article I mentioned how the game was shaping up very well but it had glaring bugs that really reduced the fun-factor of the online play. Well, I am glad to say that today Slant 6 has released patch v1.30 to help alleviate these problems. Let's see what improvements, if any, have been done.
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.
Awesome. Glad they are making changes and doing them pretty quickly. Hopefully the final release will be very smooth with all the kinks worked out.
As long as they fix the bugs for the launch of the game, I'm alright with the beta being buggy. It's still fun as hell and I can't wait to play the final copy and the new maps!
It's not a dog statue, it's a lion.
yes big baehr
hence its a beta. the issue about runing and the night vision automatically shutting off should be fixed since there are much more hardcore socom fans out there comapared to me. Another issue i saw is that when you press R2 to sprint, you can only sprint in a straight direction. come on i play basketball and you need to be a little herky jerky so i hope the devs fix that as well. i love how it is not as easy as COD4 to throw a grenade. i think you have to.... is it circle?? yeah you have to hold circle and choose it to throw it thus Socom is not a frag fest.
The major issue i have with this beta is the spawn points. Ive memorized the opposite corners of the map where the enemy always spawns. When your in a match it seems like 50% of the time either you are raping the opponent or they are raping you. there needs to be a spawn choosing point. is this so hard to recognize???
all this does not mean that i will not buy the game though, i still want this game and the mic with the hope that everything will be fixed from the beta's issues
this comment was from another socom article, have any of these issues been fixed???
