Hey guys

Today we have an announcement direct from Zipper themselves regarding additional content for SOCOM SF

Read on:

------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCOM: Special Forces DLC Packs incoming!
 
The SOCOM franchise is a long and storied one, and today we're very happy to announce that we're revisiting its past and bringing back what is perhaps the series' most popular mode, "Demolition", alongside this much loved mode you will get new maps weapons and character skins as well!

For those that haven't experienced "Demolition" before, each team vies for control of a bomb placed on the map. Once a team grabs the bomb, they need to carry it into the opposing team's base, arm the bomb and defend it until the base is destroyed.
 
The Demolition Pack includes four new maps, two of which are returning classics -- "Bitter Jungle" and "Ruins". All four of these maps support not only the Demolition game type but many of the retail competitive modes as well. Additionally, six of the existing maps will support the Demolition game type, making for 10 total Demolition maps. Additionally, the Demolition Pack also includes two new weapons, the HS-C3 and 552, as well as six new multiplayer skins to choose from.

 
Demotion Pack Details
                                                                                                                             
Included Maps:
"Departure" - Navigate trains and tunnels in this subway station as you hunt down the enemy.
"Overflow" - Both distanced and close-quarters combat take place around a massive dam.
"Bitter Jungle" - Get out of the city and into the jungle in this classic SOCOM environment.
"Ruins" - Do battle in this classic SOCOM map's ancient ruins.
 
Included Weapons:
HS-C3 - Low rate of fire but above average damage and very high accuracy.
552 - Average damage and firing rate, but very accurate when standing still.
 
Included Character Skins:
Specter
Jester
Bastion
Ahmed
Dimitri
Steiner
 
But the SOCOM action doesn't stop there. we've got another treat in store for you...
 
In a few weeks time we'll also be expanding SOCOM: Special Forces cooperative mode with the new Evac Co-op Pack. Available early November for €4.99, the Evac Co-op Pack will introduce the "Evac" cooperative mode and include a new cooperative map, two new weapons and six additional character skins.
 
In "Evac", players are caught behind enemy lines and must fight their way out alive. Your pick-up vehicle is on-route to a designated location, and it's up to you to fight your way there and defend the point until your exit arrives.
 
"Evac" works across the original six cooperative missions as well as the new "Onslaught" location included in this pack. "Onslaught" also supports the original "Espionage" and "Takedown" cooperative modes.
 
Evac Co-op Pack Details
 
Included Weapons:

M82A1A - A very low firing rate and lower than average ammo capacity is offset by the M82A1A's ability to take down an opponent with a single round.
 
Included Character Skins:

Only good thing is the jester skin XD As im not a fan of this socom (mainly because it isnt socom to me) double xp shouldnt be there as socom never used xp LOL i

[JimmyJumble]

Why is there a price for the Co-Op package and not the Demolition? Is it freeeeeeeeeeee?

[SlickShoes]

It makes me sad to see them try and charge people for demolition. I wish this game had been so much more, I tried my best to like it but it was just trash. I was one trophy away from platinum and had no desire to ever get it, that sort of sums up the game.

[Halford_15]

shame socom 4 is about as good as the stuff i flush down the toilet. Mine got traded in months ago... Shame really it should have been so much more. Oh well Battlefield 3 is almost here.

Also dont agree with this ethos of making people pay for content that really should have been in the original release.. dont mind paying for brand new mode but to pay for a mode that is a classic.

£3.99 for dlc cant really complain at that price i was thinking they would try 9.99

[jedi_minds_uk]

Cool 3.99 for four maps and a new game mode.
Look forward to the coop as played these modes on the hardest settings with my friends was quality.
Don't listen to the negative people in the forum as most of them don't play this game or don't believe that games move forward.
Can they look at the lobby system in the next patch as this is my only problem.

This gamepack is such an insight as to Zipper's direction and focus of SOCOM 4. It was basically cut because it doesn't work well with respawn.

Playing a game of respawn, we were constantly on top, but you have to plant the bomb to win, therefore if the other team makes no attempt to plant, they can sit back wait for us to plant and then defuse quite easily, with our players respawning on the other side of the map and win.

Just goes to show it doesn't fit with respawn and doesn't fit with the customer they were trying to attract.
