If you don't like the game and don't play it then please feel free not to post or make replies telling us how much you dislike the game.

Anyway, I really suck at this game. It's fun and every now and then I do well but it's not unheard of for me to go a round with 3 kills and 14 deaths.

Any good tips from you other socom 4 players?

First off! what do you think of the patch? So far it seems like a success to me. The patch added the ability to switch the sensitivity of your camera speed/ deadzone so you may want to tweek it to your liking. I personally have chosen a few guns that I like and have stuck with them that way they are mod 5 and have all the upgrades. You may also want to turn on the center dot they added. Knowing when to use L1 is important. Sometimes guys are just a little too far for normal fire so you need to zoom in for that extra precision. Rolling with teammates is also really important (especially on classic). Lastly, I personally try to be smart with my grenades and not just throw them at the start of the round like a lot of people do. Good luck!

When did the patch go live? I played last night and don't remember any patch being downloaded.

I didn't even know about the red dot thing...

It's a tactical shooter, you can't just run around you have to move slowly and use cover. Also try and unlock a silencer. The game's much better with the new patch.

LOL your answer + your avatar is hilarious Its a "tactical" shooter. Which mostly means people creep around, camp, and stay behind cover. Moving around is often difficult because you have no idea which box someone will pop out from. A lot of people dont use mic which sort of ruins the tactical part if you asked me. How can a game be considered tactical if you cant communicate with most of your teammates? Id say move slower around the map, but sometimes that will get you killed just as fast as anything. You need to have a plan for what you want to do. Then move from cover to cover to get there. Personally, I think this game would have been far better as an FPS. The unrealistic vision of a third person view + cover system makes this an often frustrating game to play.

No, it's really what I would expect, I was just trying to reduce the odds of someone posting their opinion of the game.

Seems like I see a good bit of people run-n-guning but whenI do it it's instant death....

Maybe more time will help....

I'm curious, do you guys use scopes?

To me it does not help at all and so I turn it off.

i played alot of socom on the ps2 and ps3,and i play alot of cod,so the is pretty easy if you u see a guy around cover throw a grenade, if you see a guy running aim a little in front of him and shoot, but i dont play it that much because to me spawn campers, try to always aim high so you have better chance of head shots

I personally hate the red dot sight. I'm a big fan of the ACOG scope though. I'm a lot better at aiming with it. The red dot sight just seems obstructive and clunky to me.

Well it kinda depends on how good your aim is. Like that dude said aim high. Headshots are easy. Me personally I am sort of a camper the first three rounds, learn the other teams patterns. I like to sit in a high spot where I can almost see the whole map. One thing to keep in mind, people have a routine for each map. Learn to corner camp it's a part of Socom. I personally prefer to carry a Assault Rifle and a SubMG. CQC use the SubMG

I really never use the scope, but keep it on it helps the accuracy.....if you need a crew to run with man add me. I play all the time, but please tell me you have a mic.
