SOCOM 1.60 patch gives players free DLC

Trade. Confrontation is a trainwreck from what I hear. Prototype and Infamous are much more imminently must-play-able titles.

its a solid game now that had it issues at launch but now works great. if you like socom games you will like this one

They are COMPLETELY different videogame experiences. I love inFamous, but once you're done, youre done.

SOCOM, you can play for hours and hours for months on end.

Prototype is one of the worst games I have ever played. Socom is great.

just play a respawn or unranked room for awhile to get used to it, most players are actually pretty mature.

oh, i definitely don't question the maturity of the players. in fact, i think the community is actually really great. i will try out an unranked match though, just to get used to the mechanics.

Yeah, it is a bit daunting at first. But I started playing it just recently after not even playing an FPS on a console at all for probably a month (360 died too many times, so I finally got store credit and picked up a PS3 lol. SOCOM was one of the first games I got, since it looked like a great tactical shooter.) and I was able to pick it up no problem. I'm still not great, but I can hold my own and all that in ranked matches. The players really are a lot more interesting to play with as well. Most of them get more into it than the Halo and COD players (run and gunners, rather than tactics and strategy).

Like the other guy said, jump into some respawn enabled matches first so you can get used to the controls (they are definitely different, but easy once you get used to them) and how the game plays. Give it a few days of that and you'll be ready for the big time in no time :) It didn't take me long to get into the groove, and I hadn't even played a SOCOM game in my lifetime, much less a shooter on PS3 (or any other system) other than a few rounds of Killzone 2 against bots.

ive loved socom since the ps2 days, but lets not get carried away. Confrontation is no where near being a 'brilliant game'. And the constant support was becuase they released a completley broken game. It has only recently gotten to the point at which it should have been at launch. And with 7 maps and no single player mode it makes you wonder how they could have shipped such a pile of trash.

@ Heavytoka, I would keep the game. Prototype has been getting average reviews but SOCOM is finally at a solid state.

GTFO you NOOB! That's the Socom legacy RESPAWN is obsolete in the game. It's only there to warm up, and fool around.

Socom is all about team work. That's why you only have one life per round. This isn't another respawn shooter.
