Socom Confrontation was recently released last week, and it was so with massive problems and road blocks permitting anyone who bought the game from enjoying a full game (myself included)...
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.
WRONG!!!!!!!
they r professional to who pay them for advertising!!!
I agree, but did we think these sites would act any different?
Should Socom get a break because /6 couldnt get it right? Dont get me wrong, I love this game... but /6 dropped the ball.
They did the same to Warhawk, which is silky smooth right now. Socom will improve, but /6 did not try to make this a smooth release. The bugs and missing features are one thing... but not having the servers up to par on the PS brands #1 online franchise for day1 is unacceptable.
The servers are solid for me now, but why set yourself up for bad reviews?? They released it like this and we can expect 1up and gamestop and whoever else to cast their score on what they have. Its a shame they wont update the scores in the coming weeks.
is ppl review the patchs that will be coming!
thats all im asking
If the sites that reviewed the game broken as it is dont follow up with news of the fix....if it works or not....then yes they where very unprofessional
not having features is total BS
No stat tracking
No trouphies
really
Slant Six is in the dog house and if they dont fix this game within the month they will have crushed one of my fav franchies and i will put this dog down
Silogon is on a roll and he has a good point especially.
Gamespot has always hated the PS3 and the games.
