Title and poll says it all. I personally believe Socom will be more tactical for two reasons: 1) Most people that play Socom know to have mics. This was an issue in R6V1. Tactics break down when the team does not communicate. 2) Socom game modes and player movement allow for more tactical scenarios. Modes like Extraction, Escort, Demolition, and Breach are classics for Socom. The player movement is much more free in Socom allowing for a higher variety of flanking tactics than the "take cover" approach of R6V. What do you think?

i think it really depends on your team if your a clan you can be tactical in either game, you can run and gun in socom i did it all the time, and camping is far from tactical which is what socom was good at. but i think socom will only be great again if its like the old days,

SOCOM is definitely more tactical, just like Ghost Recon AW is more tactical then Rainbow Six.

I barely even played my friend's copy of the original SOCOM, but I'm going to say SOCOM is more tactical lol.

Hopefully Confrontation will get back to more of the Socom 1/2 style of play than Socom 3/CA. It was easier to run n gun if you wanted in the old days. It was still tactical and one of the most addictive games I have ever played. The only game I have heard of that boasts round-based tactical play as good as Socom is America's Army for PC. R6V 1 wasnt even close, and R6V 2 doesnt sound any different.

americahellyeah...i have to strongly disagree with ur "its almost impossable to run and gun"...its very easy to run and gun in socom 1,2,3 and the psp versions...i played very little of vegas it just wasnt my kind of game...i also didnt really like socom but alot of my friends who had ps2's had it so i got into it though i prefered games like mgs and that sort...also i didnt find it a must to have a headset for socom...i had one but only used it when my friends were on...and that was pretty much just to talk about random stuff...i havnt seen a very tactical game for awhile at least a team based one...i mean u have mgs and those type of games but cept for mgs3 online theres not much else to offer..i personally dont like either one of these games...and i dont really understand ur question...are you wondering what game will need u to be more tactical? if thats the case then i would have to go with socom...because even though u can run and gun...its a much easier game with a suppresor and sneaking around...so yeah i have to go with socom out of the two...but if i could vote for ANY game as of right now id say either turok or AO2
