What Socom game is the best? (Game)

Double_Life · 05-04-2006

This is more of a poll but with a dash of a game involved. (Original credit goes to Metalballer90 of GameFaqs for the idea)

I hope yall know how to play this, but if you do not I will explain you guys how to play. I will have a list of the 4 Socom titles with 10 health each. You guys have to pick 1 game to hurt and 1 game to heal. If you choose to hurt, 1 health will go down of the game you chose, and if you choose to heal, 1 health will go up of the game you chose to heal. Once a game reaches 0 than that game is eliminated. The game will continue until one game remains. OR... You can heal a game twice or Hurt a game twice, but that will use up you 1+ 1- vote.

(PSP)Socom US Navy SEAL's: Fireteam Bravo-10

(PS2)Socom 3: US Navy SEAL's-10

(PS2)Socom II: US Navy SEAL's-10

(PS2)Socom: US Navy SEAL's-10
(PSP)Socom US Navy SEAL's: Fireteam Bravo2-10

(PS2)Socom Combined Assault: US Navy SEAL's-10

I want to see a reason why you took away health and gave health to the other.

I will try to update the score every five postings to help keep this game organized. Remember TOS(Terms of Service) rules apply.

Show your reasons, have fun with this game and do not turn this into a flame war.

S1: +1
SFTB: -1

SOCOM 1 started EVERYTHING and was the original. Nothing beats the original. Single player was kick a$$ and for that certain time, SOCOM 1 online was fun as hell!

SOCOM FTB is just weird. Bad maps and objectives and the auto-aim is really retarded even though it had to of been done for the lack of controls.

Current Standings:
SOCOM 1: 11
SOCOM 2: 9
SOCOM 3: 11
SOCOM FTB: 9

Hey this is a great idea, although I think it will be too hard for the "simple" people to figure out.

SOCOM 3 + 1

SFTB - 1

I like S3 because I never played the previous SOCOM titles and S3 seems to a great game so I picked that one.

I took one from SFTB because I dont like the graphics. I realise its on the PSP so it has a mild excuse but still, also the aiming on it is hard to get used to. I am happy I didnt actually buy this, I saw it on G4 and also played it in a store somewhere. (not sure which store)

PS: This concept (health points) could catch on, I think its a great system of a poll.

I loved Socom 1's originality and amazingness.
Socom 3 wasn't enough.

I think that 10hp a piece is too much. It will take a really long time for one SOCOM to stand victorious over the others if people only get to vote once. Each game should only have 5hp a piece and it would run a little quicker and smoother.

I believe the sequals to games usually improve it, and the weapons modificatios just had to make me vote up a point for S3.

S1 is just too outdated to let live any longer.

I made it out of five... meaning I took the socom 1 score of 12, (it went up 2 from 10) and then I made it go up 2 from 5 making it 7... then took away the points that I wanted. Since we only get one vote it will go much faster, like mob said.

Current Standings:
SOCOM 1: 6
SOCOM 2: 4
SOCOM 3: 7
SOCOM FTB: 3

Socom 3 has grown on me a lot. It used to be very boring and it was not really fun to play, but then I discovered Small Maps! Socom 1 had all the cheaters and is very old. I would have voted for S2, but the lag kept me from doing that. Socom 3 has some new weapons and it is very fun to play with your friends and clan.

Socom 3 +1
Socom 2 -1

Socom 3, what to say. Weapons are good, nice hit detection..atleast was nice hit detection, more movement so you don't feel as constricted, it's like there's double the 12 maps, (because of small and large, both versions of each map is a totally different game). The only thing holding it back is the people playing it.

Socom 2, takes WAY too long to kill someone..Plus a bit of night maps which I don't really like..

Making it 5hp is a good idea cause I know the one on GameFaqs had 10 PSP titles and over 180+ posts and I think it's still only at 4-5 games (Not sure because I haven't checked the thread at the site for a while)

Now will also be the ample time for me to cast my vote as well...

I vote to give 1hp to Socom 2 because it started my whole online experiance and got me introduced to the whole Socom franchise. I choose to give Socom FTB minus 1hp because the controls are clunky, you can barely snipe in online play, many people don't have mics, and the fact I can never seem to kill anyone
