imo SOCOM was the COD of last gen. i dont know any other game that was more fun, more addicting then socom 2. even tho SOCOM Confrontation was poorly made, got rated 6.5, i dont touch any other of my games. if the reviewers would rate confronation now i bet it would get like a 7.5/8 but hey, developers shouldnt count on patches all the time to get a game rite. a game should be well made and ready to go before it is released...Slant Six...Slant SUX:twisted:....so heres to Zipper, the developers of the amazing socom series and we hope that after they finish working on MAG that they will make the next socom game......o and slant six, where is the patch you promised us like a year ago? lol.......plz, god plz, dont make another game agian, you guys are bad even tho confrontation is the only game i play lol

Wow... I can't believe what you just said... you just called Halo "run and gun" which obviously means you don't play the game. Halo has to be one of the most team based fps there is!!! Go watch some MLG vids on youtube and listen to all the callouts and talk between teamates. THERE IS A REASON HALO IS THE MOST PLAYED GAME COMPETITVELY!! It's tactical, requires skill and is fun. Try to get to level 50 in the MLG playlist without a good team and get back to me.

If they would make it HD, add some physics, it would be a great game on the PS3.

I would feel the same way... if I only had a PS2. Luckily, I owned every system, so it never got much of my game time.

come back when it wasn't as easy as popping in an gameshark or action replay into the ps2 to gain god mode and unlimited ammo and being secure in the knowledge you would NEVER ever get banned from the service because thats how socom 2 online was.

Just to be fair Halo 2 had an insane amount of modding. After level 30 the game became unplayable online. Every other game you would get modded. Even in social slayer you would get modded. I stopped playing the game because I was fed up of modders.

i gatta admit halo did take skill because i got destroyed when i played it unlike COD. but more skill then SOCOM? more tacticle then SOCOM? more teambased? more fun? NO. the fun part is my opinion but the others r facts. i never liked halo in general, hated it to the fullest, but thats me. i neer got used to alien type of game, shooting lasors and what not. i like to keep things realistic. and i doubt you played socom

yes towards the last year of halo 2 modding got out of control but people were often banned and it wasn't easy to modify the original xbox, where as on the ps2 it was as simple as popping in an action replay or gameshark picking some codes and going, when socom 2 first came out i got online and walked up behind a guy and shot him in the head a few times he just got up and turned around and shot me and changed positions, that same guys user name i saw again not 5 months later after reporting him to the appropriate people.

LOL...ya i remember those days. socom did have its fair amount of cheaters.

I have to go with Halo 2 here.

If we are talking online only, Halo 2 is probably the most fun I have ever had in a game.

Slant Six...Slant SUXYekDastan316

While I don't think Confrontation is the best game in the series by any means, it still craps all over the turds that are SOCOM 3 and Combined Assault, even in its current form, IMO. The hit detection in SOCOM 3 was atrocious, some of the maps were WAY too big for 32 players and not as fun to play as the maps in the two games before it, and the vehicles were a joke. The fact that most of the community went back to SOCOM II while those other two games died is testament to that. Confrontation fixes pretty much all of those problems. The hit detection is straight from SOCOM 1, and the maps, although there aren't many of them, are a decent size and much better designed.

Zipper made 2 great games and 2 stinkers IMO, so I've never got why people swing on their nuts so much.

true the vehicles and big maps killed the game but wasnt CA like a expansion? zipper listens to the socom fans. if they dont like somthing they wont return that. they 10x better then slant six. look at the bugs and glitches in the game.....and the graphics. you would think with all the delays that you would get the game rite. patch after patch that they make. every patch they make they always screw somthing els up. these guys are just terible. but look how they think their the best...LOL. here them talk, look at their ego, its disgusting. imo i think zipper should just stop making MAG and make the next socom. becasue i dont think it will have a chance with games like MW2 and bad company 2 coming out. but who knows, they mite pull it off. and zipper mite not be the best but ill gladly swing on their nuts over slant sux's. lol

A few of my friends were some hardcore SOCOM II gamers, I remember they were on it all day and night. It was the best online game for the PS2, but Halo and Xbox Live came along and just set the bar for online gaming for consoles.

People just enjoyed Halo 2 more because it was much easier. The game had intensive auto aim and magnatism for christ sake. I don't understand how people take pride in such games. But on topic, SOCOM 1 and 2 are even better than online games today. Remember folks, without socom 1 and 2, console online shooters wouldn't be the same.

No way, for me it was RainbowSix 3 and then Black Arrow. I had previous experience of playing some PC shooters prior but without a headset I never really appreciated the social side of online multiplayer.

On Xbox Live, I have fond memories of settingup evening matches, a few of us regulars playing into the early hours. The lobby system was great, joining a room with friends, organising teams, arguing over who got which kill the round before. The games and maps were very tactical, no respawns and so going in gung-ho meant a 5 minute wait till next round. No game, that generation beat that experience for me.

Heavens no.....I honestly thought Socom 1 &2 were sick jokes. The Ghost Recon games on the Xbox (originally on PC I know) were far superior to the Socom games IMHO. For a "currentish" war style game, it's hard to beat the line up of; Ghost Recon, Ghost Recon: Island Thunder, Ghost Recon 2 and Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike. :) Cows never really got to fully enjoy any of these seeing how the PS2 versions sucked hard. :lol:

YekDastan316

ya...socom is a game that takes skills. not just run and gun. you got to be smart, know what you doing, alot of team work, all the other games are mostly for kids that just want to do w.e. socom takes so much teamwork that you mite get kiked for not having a headset lol

Seriously? HAHA....that's too funny cause all I remember when I played Socom 1 and 2 is how much camping half the team would do and how much running and gunning the rest of the team would do. Socom barely took any skill at all and having to unload half a clip into a guy before he dies is a joke. My friends and I never even had mics for the PS2, but we'd set up a lobby in Halo2 and chat that way. Funny thing is that even when we were just joking around we'd destroy the other team. Skills? whatever.... it mostly boiled down to sheer luck and who could find the better camping spot. :|

I'm with that ALL THE WAY. I played both games....Socom 2 was for REAL gamers that took the time to get good at the game. Halo was absolutely a Run n' Gun. The Re-spawning created the game to be that. I liked Socom because you died for the rest of the round, so only the strong survived. Plus, Socom really started online gaming on consoles, and you DIDN'T have to pay!!! Halo, more like GAYLO. I agree that the realistic game play in Socom was Soooo much cooler. I DID and have played both games A LOT. Socom was like a drug, Halo was a pass time.

Halo 2 had more freedom and was less srs bsns, imo. I agree with Halo 2's maps being far better too.

Nedemis... Your comment is so contradictory. HALO takes a full clip to kill people dude. If you could aim, one head shot killed people in Socom. The people that would Run n' Gun in Socom, like you must have.... Got raped round after round, and then cried and went to a game with a Radar and Body Armor like Gaylo 2. You guys destroyed people without microphones in Socom? That is such a lie. You obviously were terrible at the game, because Socom is SO mcuh harder than Halo. I have an Xbox 360, and I have live. MW2 is also WAY better than Halo, but the gameplay does not touch Socom's. Not even close.
