That post right there is one of the only things that I will EVER agree with Otter about,the fact that it is really retarded

s3, its just an overall better game... although i do miss desert glory and xroads, those were my favorite maps... but still, s3

I agree with otter about the framerate sometimes being bad, but it is nowhere near what socom 2 was when there was > 20,000 people on at night. When I go back and play S2 the movement seems so much slower and less realistic. It does take more skill to be good at S2 unless you use an m14 or IW. I can't stand in S3 when some scrub who could never kill me in a straight up gun fight kills me because he is hiding in a bush. It usually only happens once, but that one time bothers me the rest of the map. I hate the vehicles on Socom 3. I also feel like Zipper tried to change too much for this game. To me the game would have been perfect with same amount of people, 16 per room, and smaller maps. I hate the small maps on S3. All they needed to do was 1) fix the lag, which it is better, but not as good as it could be; 2) Make some new maps; 3) keep the old maps and this game would have been perfect.

When I first started playing this game, I never thought I would be addicted. It was almost painful to try to learn these huge maps, but now I love the game. It is not as addictive as S2 was when it first came out, but the game overall gets a 9 out of 10 stars.

I don't have S2 but have been thinking about grabbing it since it is only 20 bucks..... should I???

[socommaster]

Yes you should...I still play it(every now and then)

I'd take S3 over S2 any day. With that said though, I loved S2 when I played it. S3 is improved, even with its faults. The only thing I miss about S2 are the maps, and it looks like I won't have to miss those for too much longer. But as a few others have said, there is no right or wrong answer...it's all in whichever you enjoy more.

S3 Pros (omgopinion) ...

- Less grenades carried, so less "random throws" at the beginning of a round.

- More people, so [potentially] better gameplay. You just need a team that knows what it's doing.

- More weapon versatility. There is no truly "bad" gun anymore.

- Less glitches (for now). Thank God.

- MUCH less lag than S2, unless a game has 30+ players or something.

- Vehicles.

- Swimming.

- Bigger maps.

- S2 maps being released soon.

- The ability to shut off any weapon types you want when you make a room.

- Ranged Explosives actually have a use now (vehicles).

- No auto-shotty (stupid Jackhammer).
