I recently bought it at circuit city w/headset for $47 and i must ask why the hate for this game? It has great online and tactical elements... I think this game has been underrated for ever

The only gripes I have with the game are I still get lag, disconnected, and plenty of douchebags who think it is alright to kick someone every 10 minutes or so. The game itself is fine though. Plus, the headset is great.

Played it at a friends and the lag was unbearable. That plus ZERO offline play or some sort of boot camp for the newbs. It doesn't really look very good either.

The fact that it has no offline play (single or splitscreen) was the biggest reason it earned my ire.

I have it and think its great, i guess im a lucky one who hasnt had any troubles at all really. I play on Canadian servers mainly ( I'm Canadian) and rarely ever see lag, and i i do its just a slight chug.

Go knife someone in COD and then go knife someone in SOCOM, LOL.

The game was just quickly put together with little programming effort and is kind a smack in the face to the fans that followed the series.

Man I hope you can understand. I.ve waited for that game cuz i have played the ones before..so I thought, now on the PS3 this better look better than MGS4...and just trying to imagine what playing online was gonna be like, man....i was really exited... The I got it with the official headset... the first thing that got my attention it was the problem with the servers..then i thought," every game has them, even MGO.." So i waited...the next day still nothing....the forums were full with angry owners that wanted to play.....later that day i GOT IN...just to face the ugliest lagg you can ever imagine...we were getting kicked out of all the games...and on the forums they the dev team just ask for patience.... I put the game away for a full MONTH, then i thought about trying it again, and believe me it was like playing MGS1 on the PS1....alot of ppl trash me out for posting in the forums that the games wasn't 1080i as they promise..... They told me to run it on 720 and then it will look sharper.....and it didn't....it only made things way worse..... so i just trade the damn thing out.... and got only 10 bucks for 60 that I payed.... This is just my opinion.....i know some ppl may think that was the best socom game ever made....but it wasn't enough for me....

SOCOM IS HORRIBLE VERY POORLY MADE ...IF THERE IS ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT IT AND JUST ME BEING HONEST IS THE AUDIO THATS IT ...IT REALLY SOUNDS GREAT ON MY HOME THEATER SYSTEM ...BUT I WAS SO DISSAPPOINTED THAT THE REPLAY VALUE FOR THIS GAME WAS SO HORRIBLE .....FOR 1) THE GAMEWAS RUSHED EVEN THOUGH THEY TOOK FOREVER TO COME OUT WITH THE GAME ...LOL..THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND... 2) THE LAGG OMFG!!! THE LAGG ENOUGH SAID ON THAT 3) CONSTANTLY GETTING KICKED OFF THE GAME AFTER MAYBE 10 MIN OR SO I MEAN WTF!! YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS GAME DID NOT FORESEE THIS PROBLEM ....COME ON NOW ...!!!! THAT IS LIKE SONY TAKING US FOR A TEST RUN WITH OUR $600 DOLLARS ONLY TO SAY HEY YOUR PLAYSTATION IS DEAD DUE TO HARDWARE FAILURE SEND US $150 MORE TO GET IT FIXED ...LMAO...YEAH SONY NICE ONE YOU GOT ME GOOD .....THE BOTTOM LINE TO WHAT I AM SAYING IS ME AS A CONSUMER WHEN I PLAYED THIS GAME I FELT AS IF I WAS ROBBED, CHEATED, AND LIED TO !!! DID ANYBODY ELSE FEEL THE SAME ANGER AS I ..LOL?..... 4)WHILE THE GAME CONCEPT IS THE SAME THE CHARACTERS MOBILITY SUCKS IT FEELS STIFF KINDA ..THEY DON'T REACT LIKE THEY SHOULD ......FOR EXAMPLE PLAY SOCOM 2 AND 3 AND EVEN1 ON PS2 THEN TURN BACK AND PLAY SOCOM CONFRONTATION ON PS3 AND I AM SURE YOU WILL SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE !! NEVERMIND THE GRAPHICS AND ALL THAT OTHER **** LOOK AT THE CHARACTER'S MOBILITY IT IS SO MUCH BETTER ..IT ACTUALLY FEELS AS IF YOU HAVE FULL CONTROL VERSE'S HERE ON PS3 SOCOM WHERE IT FEELS AS IF I HAVE TO THINK 20 FRAMES AHEAD AS TO WHERE MY CHARACTER WILL MOVE SO I KNOW WHEN I GET TO THAT CORNER HE WILL DO WHAT I WANTED HIM TO DO ..ANYWAY THE GAME **** SUCKS !!!!! BOTTOM LINE .....I PAID 15 DOLLARS FOR MY PS2 SOCOM 2 AND 3 AND I COULD NOT EVER FIND A WAY TO GET OFF THE GAME EVER !!! I WAS ON IT DAY AND NIGHT AND I AM SURE PLENTY OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WILL AGREE ..EVEN WITH ALL THE GLITCHERS I STILL PLAYED IT ENDLESSLY ..BUT THIS NEW SOCOM CONFRONTATION ..IT MAKES ME WANT TO PUT A BAT TO THE DAMN GAME I MEAN PEOPLE CANNOT BE THAT GULLABLE TO THINK THAT THIS GAME IS EVEN REMOTLEY CLOSE TO BEING WORTH $60 DOLLARS OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY AND YES KIDDIES THIS IS NOT MOMMIES MONEY I AM PLAYING WITH ...MAYBE THAT IS WHY I AM SO UPSET AT SLANT SIX BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SOOOOO UNACCEPTABLE BOTTOM LINE !!!!!!....

You're kidding right? There is no way I'm going to do irreparable damage to my eyes by reading that wall of text. So, to put it shortly, I completely disagree with you on every one of your perceived points.

For 39.99 you can't get a much better value. The lag issue is easily sovable just play 8v8 not 16v16. This game is good enough to hold us off till the real Socom comes out in the next year or so.

Maybe because you are 10 and acting like a 20 year old, and don't know now to play socom. I see no lag, perhaps you people should go into a server that is in your area. Come on people, there was unbearable lag the first week, it didn't kill you to wait now did it?

The only gripes I have with the game are I still get lag, disconnected, and plenty of douchebags who think it is alright to kick someone every 10 minutes or so. The game itself is fine though. Plus, the headset is great. jfcundiff

I think the lag is on your end, as I have played it tons and never experienced lag at all. When I first picked up Madden 07 for my PS3 my internet wouldn't connect to the server. Then about 6 months later it started connecting. They changed their communications some how and it started working. I called them about it and they said they were switching things up in a while. Apparently it solved the problem, whatever it was.

Socom is the only PS3 game that lags on me. I have played quite a lot. Everything starts out fine when playing and then all of a sudden, everybody starts getting disconnected and lagging out of games including myself.

If yall are getting disconnected, people warping all over the place then that is certainly on your end, and you should call your isp. Sorry but thats the facts. Yes in maybe the 16vs16 some issues can raise its head but not on a regular basis like you guys are saying. So lag is barely a issue at all in Socom now, and if any of yall complaining about it like cod:waw then I don't know what to say cause that game is full of lag, and the hit detection is just horrible, the frame rate is horrible, the host leaving is just horrible, dropped party is just horrible, so please don't even think cod waw is better cause that game is horrible. Even cod4 with its host ended game and dropped party issues make it even hard to really enjoy a game for any amount of time, but it is alot better than cod waw.

And to bring up Reviews of the game, please go and read those reviews again, most of the issues were server related and since have been fixed. Most of them did say how it was a fun game to play but the server issues was what they docked the game for. Not replay value, not gameplay, not fun factor. I think most of yall that complaining were part of the beta and have never played it since lol. Heck in the beta as bad as it was I played the same map for a month lol, how is that for replay value lol and loved it even though back then it was a 20 min wait for a match to load up lol, but now the match loads up in a min or less.

And also to compare Socom to cod is just laughable to begin with, one is a hardcore tactical shooter while the other is a noob run and gun shooter. And to laugh about the knifing in Socom and brag about knifing in cod a game where you can be 5 feet away with someone shooting you in the face and you still get the knife kill is just crazy. Socom isn't about running by someone and knifing them and I'm sure you found out when trying to do that lol, but if you find that person and sneek up behind him, it will drop him in a very nice quiet fashion :)

If your not good at it then thats fine but stop bashing the game for issues that have been resolved, atleast resolved to a fashion that there is other games out there that are touted as being awesome with much worse lag issues or server issues.

I went from playing COD WAW to playing Socom, and playing Socom made me realize how much i actually love COD. I don't have any problems with lag or anything else, but COD owns Socom in every category. The headset is great though, so i don't mind that i bought the terrible game.
