So I've started playin the Socom Beta and

I am honestly disappointed. Perhaps I am too used to "arcadey" shooters, but it just does not feel right to me. Do you guys like it? Maybe if someone pointed out its strengths, I would spend more time with it

LOL.I say be glad you even got into the beta.I would have loved to play it.K1LLR3175

all you have to do is buy Qore episode one. I really hope the real game plays better. I am tired of people just running around. I would love to play with some real teamwork

For one it is a beta and some of the issues that have been plaguing the beta could be damper the game play for you. Now with that out of the way, Socom is a very tactical game that is evolved around teamwork. This game is not based on graphics are gimmicks. It is all about the game play. If you are looking for a run a gun type of shooter then this one is not it. Trust me that type of playing style will lead to pure a straight ownage. Some complain about the controls but once you get use to them the game plays pretty nicely but if it isn't for you then it isn't for you.GranReyUno

Well job tellin' like how it is.

GranReyUno

For reals, huh?

I'll play with you, I should be on when I get home. Yeah, I'll be busy with my 360 for awhile. Just gotta wait to hook up live and thats where the fun will be.

It's all good about not playing, I understand about the whole friend thing. I probably would do the same :P

Couple of things that I've always loved about Socom...

Elimination with No Respawned

• It actually makes the game feel more intense, you can't help but want to take things a bit slower and it definitely makes getting a kill that much more satisfying.

Community/Mic Support

• I love the Socom community, everyones so freakin nice and helpful. It's easily the only game this gen that I've played were people actually communicate ABOUT THE GAME. I always find someone to pair up with during matches because that's possibly the only way to succeed in Socom.

The Realistic Approach

• I love that it doesn't take a gazillon shots to kill someone, and sure I love my COD4, but I hate the fact that you can shoot across a map with dead on accuracy. Noob players find out very quickly holding down the R1 button won't help in this game, you need to constantly be tapping it for better accuracy.

ppl act like the retail release is going to be alot different from the beta. guess what? IT WON"T!!! stop defending this game with your "shut up!!! its a beta!!!" bs. the game is a pile. then again, socom has always been a sloppy, poorly designed mess...ninjaxams

Why? Because you get owned everytime you run and gun:roll:

KID?!? I'm 25, who the f' you callin a kid? 1st off, unless you were on PC, Socom came out before Ghost Recon. So you can get off that "I know how the games supposed to be played" BS. So why don't you stick to Ghost Recon, and leave Socom for the big "kids".

Rainbow Six came out before Ghost Recon, who cares?

All the bugs and network errors really take the "strategy" and "tactics" out of the beta if you ask me. I think they need to fix the gun spray as it's NOT realistic like people claimed when they saw ONE VIDEO of it. I think they also need to slightly up the bullet damage on the AR's and fix the issue of when you kill someone they manage to pop off some shots as their body falls to the ground and take you with them, even after headshots, that's my major peeve with the beta currently.

That, and the goddamn red X that gets me killed a lot.

ThaDirtySouth

I hear you, I hated when that red X appeared as soon as I popped out to shoot someone. Thankfully that patch they released today addressed those issues. And for the extra shots that go off after you kill someone, I really hope they tone that down. As for the "Socom came out before Ghost Recon" line, he's claiming he's a "Ghost Recon vet" like Socom just came out. That's like me saying I'm CoD vet when talking to Counterstrike players.
