Let me just preface this by saying that I've been a socom fanatic since socom 1. I have a love/hate relationship with Zipper Interactive, the creators of the socom franchise. Socom 1 and 2 were the two best video games I've ever played, bar none. It's not even close. The addiction factor with those games are unmatched and I'll never have that same type of feeling with any other game ever again. Socom 3 was an abomination and should never be talked about.
Now, about socom 4. I've been playing the beta for the past two days and I'm liking it quite a bit. I don't like a few things about the game like the camera being way too close to the player. Also, the cover system. Socom never had and should never have a cover system. That's not what socom is, but it's definitely not a game-breaker for me and I understand why Zipper integrated that feature into the game. The greatest thing that Zipper did with this game is not throwing in vehicles like they did for socom 3. That was a HUGE game-breaker for that game. Socom 4 feels like socom 1 except with more players. I wish Zipper would go back to 8v8 but it is what it is. The respawn system is fine and I understand why Zipper would integrate this into the game considering every shooter is respawn nowadays. I'm glad they're catering to the hardcore socom fans like myself and to the people who have never played the game.
Anyone else playing the beta?
