Might ruin another good game
I was an owner of SOCOM 2 and played online quite frequently. I got rid of the game... I couldn't take it anymore with all the people using and promoting glitches, constantly using only the best weapons (IW 80 A2) and for the most part people lagging out and destroying the servers by making a private game with a password and putting a title like "gone for a few hours".

Although I found that the loading process online to be a bit long, (this is probably why people became lazy and just left their PS2's on cloggin the servers) it just became to not worth playing.

My friend has recently bought Halo 2. Looking at how well and organized Halo 2 online is compaired to SOCOM 2 just amazed me! Everyone had a green ping. Loading times were fast (I know this was because of the XBOX's HD) but also it was clean because there is no way for people to idle in servers.

Unfortunately in SOCOM 3 there will be glitches that will not be discovered until the game is already popular... There will be people that make the game unpleasent and there will probably be server problems. I hope I am wrong and I hope to be proven wrong on this, but if SOCOM 3 could fix problems such as the ones I have stated a create a clean environment for online play, then this game along with the awsome single player campaign might just be one of the best games I will ever played.

Thank you for reading...

Socom needs a brand new server, if people idle they will boot them like 10 mins after idle. Glitches will always be in all kinds of games and halo isnt as perfect as you think it is. I found a wall glitch in halo 2, I havnt told anybody about it because it would **** up the fun on it.

i agree. new server with boot feature would minimize lag as well as long loading times. good idea.

no, ten minutes is too short. maybe 5 hours, because that would help people out if they forget to turn it out.

maybe a feature that will lessen the amount of time in the lobby. like how Frost Fire Respawns keep getting ruined by like 2 or 3 people who arent at there ps2s. ps, did you sell your disc or just throw it out? i learned the hard way that its cheaper and better to sell something that you dont want than to just break it.

who cares, i'm sure the loading times will be faster and the game will be way more fun than socom 2. i'm more interested in the acually game play than the loading times.

well your just have to find a grup of people to play with, like your clan vs a allie that way every one is happy, get to know the people you like to play with and spend more time with them, insted of going to play with cheaters and / or laggers

I cant believe how much this guy conplains about though. I`m glad he got rid of the game. He conplains about people using certain guns and lagg. Hey buddy, deal with it.

its not all good on Halo2 either, you'll find just as many glitchers and people using standby on there, I've seen lag on halo that makes even the worst lag on socom look like nothing.
