SOCOM HQ

[Bag_Of_Fruit]

Zipper im soooo dissapointed in this mockery known as socom 4.

When i first started playing the game i decided to give it a chance and accepted that it was not going to be like other socoms....little did i know the game would only get worse.

The queues are RIDICULOUS, UTTER GARBAGE.

If joining games alone it seems u can get into games relativly fast, but lets face it in todays day and age people want to game together. When joining a game with friends i have waited up to 30 minutes in the queues...30 fricken minutes....what was the point of the party system if u can bearly get into games together.

Y didnt you just leave the lobby system like it was the old way in past socoms. At least back then you could join friends.

List of things that annoy me in this game:

• Grenades - they are random and appear at your feet half the time
• The join game queues - constantly waiting FOREVER to join games
• SMG fest - SMGS are overpowered....everyone in the game is using them...and fair enough, youd be stupid not to.
• Cover system - need i say more....
• Comms - the comuication of mics in classic mode is terrible. 10 secs then you cant get the mic for ages again...really...who makes these decisions.
• Sniper rifles - inaccurate random aim and one shot kills only happen sometimes with the 50. cal snipers...dissapointing
• no pistols - what are u guys thinking?!
• duel weild primary - the stupidity goes on......this makes it so basically no one in the game has to reload...just have duel primary and switch weapons....its faster then reloading
• PMN and claymores - the claymores are ok but the PMNS slow the pace of the game and make u have to check every little bit of grass.
• Grenade launchers - i love dying at the start of the round in my spawn from the other side of the map....reallll fun.
• the list goes on

very dissapointing work guys, what a complete waste of time. The only good thing that came from socom 4 was bomb squad.

O and btw if you think respawn is where this game is headed then at least make it so you dont get spawn camped constantly....its a complete joke.

Long live socom 1 and socom 2 hd...you guys clearly cant get next gen socom games right or even to an acceptable standard.

Because according to Zippers Kevin Schmitt, "lobbies are boring"

LOL Kevin Schmitt, what an epic fail. 

At least in the old lobbies you could talk to each other and actually get in a game fast.

Lobby History:

• socom 1 = text chat & voice chat
• socom 2 = text chat & voice chat
• socom 3 = text chat & voice chat
• socom ca = text chat & voice chat
• socom con = voice chat
• socom 4 = silence and 30 min long wait to join games

Talk about taking features out...raggggeeee!

Lobbies can be boring to be fair....sometimes. But now we have frustration, tension and tedium instead, at least its not boring! They delievered on that, give them a break!

At the end of the day, a game is what you make of it.

Yes they have definately steered away from what some of us wanted, but if you dont like the game the only thing you can do is find something else.

Im not disagreeing with you, but theres only so much repetative moaning can achieve.

Ho Hum.... BF3 and FIFA 12 will keep me very busy!!! C'mon Crawley Town FC!!!!

This is what I mean. It's pathetically ironic.

Lobbies are great though, especially when your circle of socom buddies are all online on confrontation!!! Banter and all that.

Great game i love it, with the new one, i like it (it could be better) but it does lack banter between players and teams before, after and during matches.

I love screaming while dancing on the dead on confrontation!

I really like this game.

It's not perfect I admit, but I've had a lot of fun with it.

Completed the single player game twice, once to complete it, and again to get all the intel and tarocco's.

I don't usually care about trophies in games, but I recently noticed that I already had most of the trophies.

I am now only missing 3, and completing the game again on Elite difficulty will get me one of them.

Bloody hard though! Done the first 4 missions (that one with the ship's cannon is a real ***** on Elite difficulty!).

Lobbies are only boring if you have ADHD, Allowed you to organise teams or setup adhoc rules for games (shotguns only, Knives only ect ect) Before going in. Even with randoms.

Good times.
