The once bustling marketplace was now an empty shell of its former self. Where a kindly old man once sold fruit was an overturned table riddled haphazardly with bullets that burned through the wood. Shells could be seen scattered throughout and the walls surrounding the market are crumbling from a firefight that took place not too long ago. The echo of gunfire in the distance can be heard as a group of U.S. Navy SEALs scramble into place, knowing full well that the marketplace definitely does not provide a lot of cover.
Since the Public Beta introduced the first map - a massive environment that includes the Arabic marketplace that should be familiar to SOCOM fans as the Crossroads map - SOCOM: Confrontation for the PlayStation 3 gave fans of the series a generous peek at just a few of the features we can come to expect from this online multiplayer shooter. Even as a Beta, the online multiplayer features show off many of the options multiplayer fans will experience when the game is released in October. That includes leader boards, clan features and the ability to customize your character whether it is a U.S. Navy SEAL or a mercenary.
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.
