There are no issues with this game at all. I love it and I play it all the time. I never notice any bugs or lags with the game at all.

It takes some practicing, but once you got it - you got it.

Ok let me give you my little rundown of the game

The good

  • The Big community
  • Very tactical game
  • Nice maps
  • Nice selection of weapons
  • Fun to play
  • Only 40 bucks
  • If your into it,nice clan features

The Bad

  • Kinda slow loading up
  • Could have been better,but taking baby steps to get to perfection
  • You will get owned at first,especially if you were like me and new to the game
  • Lag will sometimes get to you.

I never liked it. There are tons of people online and stuff.....but its really made for the type of gamer that plays 4 hours a day online in a clan etc.......i just dont have the time....the trophies are absurd, and you are lucky to end a match with 3 kills. Not much action at all, everyone is usually a dick online, it lags, and there are just so many more better games out there.....

Worst Socom IMO. I own 1, 2 copies of Socom 2 and a copy of Socom 3. The only thing good about the game is that it comes with a bluetooth, I'm not a fan of the game play, ever since I played COD I can't go back. I can't even play Killzone. The big thing for me isbasically controls I guess. Just my 2 cents yo

Only reason I stopped playing (aside that I sucked :p) was because my TV and this game hated it each other, there was clear contrast/brightness/color problem which only annoyed me in this game e.g. if I was in a shadow and I was looking in a bright area, couldn't really see well, vice-versa. Tried different settings but some made my others games not look great, so I just gave up.

There's still bug and glitches and lag. If the player is an American, they don't need to worry because the server is based in America. International players such as Australia will have to deal with bullet lag, delays, drop outs, being kicked for no headset or simply bad ping.

1. no reason to not have a headset.. it comes with the game and if you didnt buy the headset pack, buy a cheap usb headset.. this is a game where teamwork and communication is a MUST 2. there are AU servers for AU players for a reason 3. most bugs and lag have been sorted out with patches. its a great game. However, you will have to deal with people getting pissed at you for being new and not knowing what exactly to do.. so dont be turned away by that.. just know that everyone goes through that. i suggest trying to find a clan as soon as you can tho :D

People that say there's lag, lie. Well, not necessarily. They just don't know what they are talking about. What they don't realise is: A. Lots of patches have fixed most issues. B. Including lag. C. People have different connections, so therefore, better connection = no lag.

Oh, and forgot to say. If you're playing against a team full of Americans (and vice-versa) then you obviously have lag. What game doesn't?

It is okay if you like 3rd person shooters. The bad thing is that you have to wait like 2-3 hrs for the patch to install(well at least it did for me).
