SOCOM Confrontation a must buy for Vets, and a game newcomers should definitely checkout
There are ton of character customization options to choose from, things like body armor to the color of your camo to your weapon of choice and even your characters head gear, Socom Confrontation has it all. What's nice is the fact that these options all play a role in how agile and quick your characters movements are so there is some strategy in choosing your characters layout.
When your not customizing your character you can check out all of your stats, and leader boards in the Records menu. The Community menu is their for messaging friends and to keep an eye on your Clans general statistics. Socom Confrontation took a unique approach to the Clan setup, you can customize your Clan Logo, motto, and name. You also have several different military forces you can choose from that all carry different rankings and character customization options. The only way to rank up in Confrontation is to play with a Clan, and you better choose wisely because the moment you leave a clan will be the moment your ranking is erased.
The Lobby is basically the classic setup of past Socom games, there's no quick game option and you have to go through "channels" and rooms to find games that aren't already full. There's different types of game modes and each are unique and enjoyable.
When in a game Socom Confrontation still carries that intense, close quarter gameplay seen in past Socom games. The control layout is a bit awkward and not as functional as I would have liked it to be, fortunately players are able to adjust their control layout to their liking. Overall however the gameplay is solid, the characters have great animations, the gun characteristics vary, the recoil seems to be spot on, and the graphics even though nothing mind blowing are sharp and detailed, overall Socom Confrontation is a very solid shooter and a fun one at that. I generally played Elimination more so than any other game mode, and with this mode relying so much on team work and communication is where Socom Confrontation shines. The community is down right fantastic, everyone in a room has a mic, and not only that but use it to better the team.
If you're looking for a third person tactical shooter look no further than Socom Confrontation, solid game play, with all the whistles and bells and possibly the best community out there. With the official mic bundled with the game for only 59.99 it's hard not to recommend it.
