the GAMEPLAY is amazing.. fantastic... perfect socom, everythign else just sucks... i'd waited for months and months for the 1.3 patch to "fix" most things.. it basically fixed alot of minor bugs and introduced us to a crap load of major ones... Socom rocks, Slant 6 sucks... don't get it... in fact buy as many copies as you can and return them....

I personally think it's great fun to play, even with all it's little flaws.

Have you played Socom 2??? Because if you did you would not say the gameplay or quite possibly anything about Confrontation is good. And for you to call Confrontation "perfect socom" is just WOW :o

The gameplay is nearly perfect socom, the core gameplay... all the other stuff is pure crap.. and yes i started with Socom 2... the gameplay translated well, just the numerous technical issues (namely the damn framerate glitch which i get in 3 out of 4 matches) completely ruin the game... The game is fantastic, when it works, although since that isn't very often its not worth a purchase... I bought it with the headset though so i think of it more like a got a fantastic headset for 50 bucks (which i would have bought anyway) and Socom for 10

In that case yes Socom is a good game because it costs 10 dollars with that deal. But I also have played past Socom games and to me even the gameplay is lacking. Also did not like how they made some of the levels look, for example Citadel was perfect in S2, but here they added cars that blow up and all of this crazy stuff that just kill the game for me. I think we will see another perfect Socom game when Zipper finishes with M.A.G and get back to their originally planned product Socom 4: U.S. Navy Seals

Its a great game, and literally the only game I play now. If yall put up with cod waw, then none of yall have room to talk about Socom lol. And people want to bring up Socom 2 like it was just the perfect game is just laughable, and once again if you put up with Socom 2 then the New Socom is definatly worth the purchase. Yes all the bells and whistles aren't there like the earlier Socom's, but the gameplay is still intact, and the community is still intact. Heck Socom 2 had the worse lag than any game I had ever played since that time period but we all still loved it. Socom 2 had the most glitches than any game I had ever played, but we still loved it. Socom2 had the most cheaters (lag switch) but we still loved it. So to bring up Socom 2 and compare it to Socom Confrontation is just crazy as if Socom 2 was perfect lol.

Socom Confrontation is just missing some extras but as far as the gameplay its still there. Lag isn't a issue at all anymore for the most part. And the little hiccup or pause during gameplay is usually cause of people joining the room after the match has already started and will be fixed. But once again if anyone can put up with the crazy lag, and rooms dropping out in cod waw has no room to talk about Socom lol.

And yes the recent patch fixed most of the big issues and added some new features. And for someone to say the new patch added more issues please by all means list those issues, cause I haven't encountered no new issues after the patch. Most people bash the game but literally have nothing supporting their rants, and please get over Socom 2 already lol.

um... Mag is only projected at releasing in late 2010... I doubt we'll see a new Socom from ZIpper within 4 years (atlhough hopefully Slant 6 can at least fix Confrontation before then :lol: ) The gameplay evolved well i think... its everything on the technical side that didn't... /6 had what.. like 4 years to make Socom for PS3 and they came up with 4 new maps and the most broken lobby/servers ever???? what the hell where they doing all this time! the biggest problem with Socom for me is the lack of custom controls, i had gotten very good with the OTS and switching shoulders on the Dpad, then for some stupid reason the decided to just screw it up with 1.30

Exactly.. and that Seth guy who was supposedly "listening to the fans" to find out what to do basically just took all the excellent suggestions, and did them half assed which = a really broken game...
