is socom active?

does socom have active community ? iv only had a ps3 around 4 months but my friend lent me his for a week why he was on vacation. and socom was with it it was all i played . but as its kinda old and there are lots of shooters will it really be worth me buying it ?

Socom's online community is larger than any other exclusive redskins2156

Just because a lot of people play it, doesn't mean its good. I wouldn't go and buy Socom based on its community. IMO there are a LOT of shooters you would be better off buying.Ninja_Zombie83

... uuuuunnnless 'SOCOM' is what the poster wants? What would be a "better" game choice, then? Keep in mind that 'SOCOM' is a military, tactical-based TPS. What's the better military, tactical-based TPS that rates better?

Although barley any TTPS exist, I still could think of Metal Gear Online (rated 8.0 criticto 9.0 user), which despite its reputation, STILL beat SOCOM (6.7 critic to 7.6 user) and that itself says a lot.

Anyways the TC stated "...its kinda old and there are lots of shooters will it really be worth me buying it?" so its not he's sold on tactical TPS anyways. He sounds like he's asking for options.

Is it worth it? I guess if you are looking for an incredibly cheap and old tactical TPS that begins with an "S" and ends with a "M" then yeah, get it.

If you are open to any other tactical shooter out there, almost anything is better than SOCOM. You've played SOCOM for 4 months and if its getting old to you, I would suggest you spend your money elsewhere. Check out the Tom Clancy games or even BFBC2 for more bang for your buck.

i was on yesterday for the first time in a while since my BCBF2 has been acting up and it was not bad at all, its a fun game and you can get it for like 5$ on ebay these days

A more appropriate question would be "What other tactical-based TPS are there?" :P Its hard to be "better" when there isn't any competition.

My point exactly... And the Tom Clancy games are a ghost town, I assume you are talking about "Rainbow 6 Vegas" or "GRAW", neither of which currently boasts near the community that a die-hard like "SOCOM" has. Stop being so defensive and actually think about what the TC is asking for instead of steering them to a potentially incorrect purchase... "Battlefield BC2" is a FPS so it doesn't actually apply here, unfortunately, because I agree that it's a stronger game all around... but incorrect. And the Tom Clancy games would be great if anyone still played, but they really sorta don't. So "SOCOM", being very cheap, yet rabidly populated, no matter what you may personally think of the game prior to patching and several years after most reviews were posted, is the correct game to suggest.

Sorry about the phrasing of my question making you feel so cornered.
