Socom is one of the worst games ive played all this gen. When it works it is bad, which is rare. I can play for around 2 hrs only getting in about 15 minutes of game time. I went 28 an 11 the first time playin, though wow this is fun. only to be shot down over the next 3 days. Ign just through it a 4.5, imma get rid of it asap hopefully get some money back...

i never liked socom, i played the first one and its so damn glitchy, the controller sometime not responding which is bull, and the mission can be frustrated especially the glitchness! and i don't understand why ppl love the game so much?? they just keep releasing the game every year and the quality of it a so bad!!

From the sounds of things this game still needed some work to be done with it.I know that people are enjoying it but still.And to JOJO they don't release Socom games EVERY year and the older ones were excellent.They release COD games every years.

Put me down as somebody who loves the new Socom much more than COD 4. The servers are getting better, especially with the patch, and the tactical gameplay is all I've ever wanted.

It's not as naturally fun as Socom 2, but it's close enough to make me consider not buying COD: WAW.

COD4 has tactics.....sadly those tactics involve more camping,grenade spaming,using stoping power to make weapons work and dropping like grenades as you die tactics.

From what I played I could tell the game has promise, but it's unfinished and buggy. Hopefully they patch the game to add the missing features and fix the technical issues. By then, finding a used copy on the cheap shouldn't be a problem.

Wow that sucks man. I have no troubles on my end when playing and i think the game is great. If you liked SOCOM on the PS2 then you will most likely like this game. Im guessing alot of the people picking up the game now are expecting/looking for the bad things, that have been mentioned many times over and over again, and not trying to enjoy the game. This is the best online tactical/teambased shooter out IMO. I hope things work out for you, the way i see it is i payed $10 for SOCOM and the rest for the great headset, so i dont feel like ive been ripped off at all as i really enjoy the game.

Wait a sec did you just say you had FUN with it for the time you got play with it, but because IGN (some guy you never met in your life) gave it a 4.5 youre going to sell it, wow just wow. Thats like eating a delicious treat and someone you have never met said they dont like it so now you dont.

Some people are just hating. The servers are working fine now and have been since the second week. If you can't play then it something you are doing and nott he game. It's fun and works fine. Face it people just want to hate and are never going to change their mind so stop worrying.

Counter Strike and Source a way better game than any Socom game, Socom is the crappiest game that shows u how to make a crappy or wannabe tactical shooter!!

Even If the servers were working perfectly, the game was just put together horribly, for dithiching single player, using some old maps, and no trphies you would think the game would play much better

OK about counter strike. sigh.

If you are playing in PUBS (public servers) then sure CS isnt tacticle.

Now, I have personally played in CAL, the cyber athletic league for CS like 6 years ago. Played in Cal IM and we made the championship finals for that game. To say that Counter strike is NOT tactical...well, clearly you have never taken part in league play. CS was one of the most tactical 5 on 5 games. All the fakes, coordinating of smoks, fbs, learning different positions on defense..

better luck next time

Pretty much all Shooters take tactics even scifi ones like halo,doom and gears of war.I just did not like the tactics that needed to be learned to survive a game of COD4.The perk system was terrible.
