I have watched the videos, I like what I see from that aspect. I have read blogs and listened to podcasts from the guys who went to Zipper and played this game. They basically said if it were just a new game it would be good, but since it is called SOCOM, the veterans will not be happy.
- They have no more pistols, its all dual primary weapons. Thats a Sniper with a M-82 and a M-4. That is not SOCOM.
- They have grenade throwing like Halo, no arc, very inacurate. COnfrontation maybe??? Not SOCOM.
- No lobbies. You can create a party, but what about meeting old friends and/foes and just plain talking old times in the lobby before the next round? THis says MAG or COD, not SOCOM.
- No Breach, Escort, Demo? We have capture the flag? Hello MAG, not SOCOM.
- weapons perks and unlocks is COD and MAG, Not SOCOM.
- 3rd person Camera view is more like Ghost Recon, not classic style SOCOM, soooooo not SOCOM.
- Can't lean or jump to climb? Not SOCOM
Their impressions of the game............ "More negative than positive", "Unique shooter", "definitely and all new experience" "not SOCOM"
Correct me if I am wrong here Bull, but didn't all the SOCOM vets just want another great SOCOM game based on the past games we loved? We don't want a new gaming experience, we want classic SOCOM!
