SOCOM II was the BEST online game last gen

halo 2 was, there was matchmaking and a party system. It also had a good clan system/friends system too. H2 actually had a skill gap ( suprisingly )

For competitive gaming H2 was saved by the button glitches. BXR, Double Shot/Quad Shot, and BXB required some time to actually perfect and learn. Also these combos were a risk because if one screws up trying to do the combo, they will most likely die. H2 did require skill despite the amounts of autoaim and hitbox problems. Bungie accidently made the game more skillful again with combos. Remember in the first halo game, bungie accidentally made the pistol a lot stronger. The pistol required 3 perfect Headshots for a kill ( something like 1.5 seconds ). But it was extremely hard to get 3 perfect headshots, most ppl killed in 6 or more shots. So bungie accidentally made both games more skillful than what they should be. And thats where halo 3 is at now, bungie eliminated most of the skillful aspects of the last 2 games ( skillful starting weapon, button combos ). H3 has a smaller skill gap than H2 and H1, in H3 a player is either bad, average, or good. H3 needs the most teamwork out of the 3 halo games. its hard to be consistent in H3 when the br spread is really random. But still there are only a handful of games that require some skill on xbox 360or consoles and one of the games is H3

SOCOM II wasn´t even the best console online game.

Compare it to most PC games(and quite a few on the xbox as well) of the same genre(or similar)and then it doesn´t stand a chance.

SOCOM II was average,or run of the mill perhaps.

Maybe on the Playstation it was decent,mostly due to lack of serious competition.

PC had the best and consoles had Halo 2

SOCOM II is the best online game period...nothing has topped it for me yet

Battlefield 2 was the most memorable for me.

You need to play CSS and WoW, as well as BF2.

dude exactly. im completely with you on that man. i met so many people on socom 2 primarly through using the mic and having great sessions in every match. socom 2 forced players to used their mic in order to even win because without that communication, nothing would get done.

if halo 2 wasnt so broken it would have been better. But ugh the weapons and everything was so unbalanced, your starting weapon was completely useless. It had the best maps in any console game ever though ill give it that.

agree but Slant 6 did good with Socom FTB 3 game though

It was the best online game for the PS2. I remember my friends use to be on this all day and night. I remember they had some kind of forum and that's how they set up matches against other clans. In my opinion, Socom 2 is still the best in the franchise. Hopefully the latest one will deliver and out do number 2.

Barf... Puke... NO WAY.

Halo 2 all the way.

TC is wrong. Those saying Halo 2 are wrong too. CS Source for last gen. And CS 1.6 for a gen before that.

I think you mispelled the thread title, lemme fix it. "SOCOM II was the BEST online game last gen for the PS2". :P I don't remember people raving about Socom 2 though. Halo 2, yes, Counterstrike, Yes, BF2, yes, dozens of other games, yes, Socom 2? No. :lol:

I preferred Halo 2 for console shooters.

No way!! Anybody who was there knows that the best online console gaming was had on every Ghost Recon game on xbox last gen.

2009..

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:Nedemis

Halo 2 was for me personally.

I would also play hours with my friends in custom games. So much fun.

socom 2 was a cheatfest that literally had accessories made for it to help you cheat(does no one remember the warp pedal?) rainbow six and ghost recon on xbl blew it out of the water not only in rooting out cheaters and banning them but also in the basic gameplay, fun and useability.

Not including PC I would easily put Socom 2 > Halo 2

Mainly due to the fact that I wasn't forced to use this unwieldy device

Counter-strike:Source, BF2, BF2142, etc. were all better.

BF2 online for the ps2, destroyed socom.

hmm...did it reach the scores, sales, and online users of halo 2? it didn't...then no its not the best online game last gen...as for that much like halo 2 but to an even easier extent socom 2 was filled with gameshark and pro acton replay cheaters.

Funny, I thought that was Halo 2?

The reasons you posted in no way indicate a game being better online. Gears 2 got great scores and all, but was bunk online.

Halo 2, RS: BA and UnC2 where the best console shooters last gen imo.

Halo 2 being the king ofc.

For example, me personaly I though return to castle wolfenstein was one of my favorite Online games last gen. Its all about opinon.

Halo 2, RS: BA and UnC2 where the best console shooters last gen imo.

Halo 2 disagrees with you.

No reason to have this thread open seeing that it is from 2009.
