I'm one of those Grumpy Socom Veterans who HATES this latest installment.
No voice commands in Singleplayer was the final nail in the coffin. Judging from the gameplay videos I've seen, the optional stealth options has been completed removed. Socom 1 and 2 allowed you to covertly sneak around the level, this seems more Modern combat guns blazzing. Apart from a madatory sniper mision that will be bound to feature in S4.
Id love to be proved wrong after playing a demo, but for me, I Dont see this as a Socom Title.
They've said the campaign will have both. Unfortunately so far the only gameplay shown has been the stealth mission with 45 where stealth is basically mandatory and the opening mission where the enemy is already aware of your position (where stealth as an option is already out the window). So it's tough to say whether missions in between will be stealth but also allow a guns-blazing approach. In respect to no voice commands, they seem to be doing it all through the D-pad and as per my usual, I'm not going to knock it until I've tried it. Rainbow Six Vegas used the D-pad decently well to command squad mates. I am pretty sure i remember seeing the first couple videos they said you can choose to do one or the other it was up to the player to choose how they wanted to take the level
