ATTN: SOCOM Fans

SOCOM is dead. Gamespothands onhere. Backlash and anger here.

A sad day for sure... CoD has finally tainted every single military shooter. There is no hope. Tactical military shooter fans,we have been defeated. Conformity is your new boss.

Well TC there will be two different modes. People like you and I will be playing classic mode. Which will feature no respawn, health bar, no airstrikes, PTT (push to talk mic). The things that I dislike are 1. camera view is too close 2. no grenade arc 3. No side arms (handguns), you will be able to carry two primary weapons from two different classes (ex. assault rifle and smg). 4. There is a sprint button (L3).

You're over-reacting TC and reading up to much into it.

It's interesting how the approached it. They included both, original hardcore Socom experience, which I prefer, but at the same time, new, more modern feel for those gamers who never got into the tactical and communication style this game is known for various reasons.

I'm looking forward to SOCOM 4.

This is good news. I hope you can play classic in the Multiplayer beta.

EDIT: Your right it is dead. I saw on the Socom website about the 18 people who went to go play at Zipper Interactive Studio and they said that that they will have no demo, no lobbies, no grenade archs, and dual primaries.

That actually does not sound too bad, I am glad they have the classic mode and did not completely go the other way. I can understand adding the other mode they want more people to be involved in this game and that will make it sell even more. You get what you want no matter what style you like, still unsure of a few things but as a socom hardcore player at least i get what i want in classic. Seeing how it plays the actual feel will be the next step as one big reason i did not like socom 3 it just did not feel right to me.

On another note i am dissapointed to see the lobby system go away, that to me is a mistake right there.

Zipper won't let that happen, just go play mag and you'll see what i'm talking about. The reason you see so many jailbreakers/hackers in confrontation is becasue /6 quit patching that game. And from what i've heard confrontation was one of the easiest games to hack.

Only thing that can kill Socom are the Coders that always cheats. Any Socom Fan will know that Duhhspitbulletz
