Does Socom 3 deliver to its fullest?

Perhaps not. From the moment you buy Socom, you may be enticed with it's unique online mode and gameplay. It's selection of weapons and customization is incredible, and the online mode is smooooooth.... Until it all hits the fan. You'll find more things wrong with this one than the old things you can find at your grannys 1954 home. You'll soon realize the game can be 'not so smooth' as lag bugs the game down to a matrix style kung-fu fight. It was impressive though to say the least, the game barely every completely freezes from all the action. But, from that comes another issue, you may sometimes find your game freezing on you for no, apparant reason, AT ALL. And to further bother you with lag, we have a large amount of lag switcher users who kill you in the cheapest way possible ever since being able to use the biggoron sword on the final boss of LOZ:OOT. And we all know that was everyone's cheap way to beat him >.> Not only that, but I forgot to mention the 'small map' cheaters. It's VERY POSSIBLE to crawl through blockades meant to keep you OUT, and get outside the level and than snipe from somewhere and have them be confused as hell. Wanna try it? Play Devil's road and lie on the floor, move EXTREMELY Slowly and sideways towards the door and you can be out in the clear! You may die bye a glitch, but hell, who cares.
Not only will you enjoy the exquisite cheapness of the title, but you'll love how you run past one another opponent feeding off 30 rounds in under 3 seconds, only to realize that you've missed every single one of YOUR rounds, and the first bullet they fired hit you right in the noggin... Sounds lovely right? That's the best part of all, firing your Mk. 48 heavy machine gun with a 100 round magazine only to have every round miss and you get shot by a handgun, it happens, and it's garbage. The game constantly consists of abusers who don't play fair and take advantage of the maps cheap layout. You'll constantly find that in certain maps, seals have the advantage, and in others the terrorist. Saying that, I've concluded that Socom 3 is a cheap, lag full and retarded game. DO NOT PICK THIS GAME UP IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GOOD CLEAN FUN ONLINE GAME!!!
Speaking technically, the graphics are outdated. AI is definetely not too smart, and the sounds can feel choppy and odd at times as well as the voice acting. Simple as that.
