Socom 3 online vs. socom 2 online

Fastbreak · 03-27-2006

Hello everyone--
Being a long time player of Socom1 and Socom 2 i have fallen in love with the series, especially online. I love maps like desert glory and abandoned on S1 and Sujo on S2. I have yet to play Socom 3 online cause i didnt take my ps2 wit me when i came to school in the fall.

Im excited to start playing Socom 3 online. What is the good/bad about Socom 3 online compared to Socom 2? Are the maps better? What about the lag? Overall is S3 better?

Thanks and i look forward to playin with you guys

There is less lag on S3,sometimes it will get a little laggy, but only on certain maps...The maps are WAY bigger and better. The online play is smoother. Overall, it is better...They took away/added some guns and such. Diff. characters...Totally diff. way better than S2!

one bad thing is that since you got 16 people on ur team (that parts not bad, this part is) you get to hear twice as much complaining, and it really gets annoying after awhile. dont let the whiners get to you though and try to brainwash you, IMO S3 is a much better game than S2.

Hit detection honestly isn't improved that much, or maybe it's because every gun is like a 9mm sub on s2 accuracy-wise.

Sniping is so rediculously easy everyone does it and everyone is good at it, not like s2 where it took skill. It took the fun out of the game, since people are so prone to just ...well, prone in their spawn with a sniper.

Game has about 8 million bushes in total and people seem to think they're good/it's fun to sit in a random one with an SD and a guille suit and get 19 kills.

I could go on and on, like how you need a cc to do anything good on this game, or how laggy the framerate is on big maps still, it's as bad as bitter jungle.

But really, the hit detection isn't that much improved, sniper rifles long range ALWAYS take 2 ****ing hits for me, I nail them in the chest and they either fall over as if I nailed them with a shotty or I see a big *** blood spot on them in my scope and I have to shoot them again. Even with rifles people still take tremendous amounts of hits.

If someone lags in this game, they don't run in place then appear 15 ft away, they sort of "ice skate" all over, in the air...on the ground...w/e

Bottom line is hit detection still sucks
too much camping
guns are so ****ing easy to use, everything is, EVERYONE is good and take smack
game takes no skill, it's all spraying
too much camping

Oh, and people camp, eh?

s2 all the way...

Seems almost every post in this thread was directed towards me. Do you guys all have a crush on me or something?

Topic cleansed, please stay on topic.

I love S3 a lot and there are plenty of good things like bigger levels, gun attachments, vehicles. I do miss some of the old maps, but the map packs will bring new ones plus some old ones back so ill say S3 is the way to go.

Overall I think Socom 3 is better than the others. The only problem is none of the old socom1/2 maps are availible for online play. (If you didnt already know that. Soon to change though with the map packs comming out)

Which will make S3>S2 by far...

The bad thing about bigger levels equals more walking, if you dont have a vehicle, but if you dont want to walk that much then you can play maps that are limited with players. So instead of playing with a total of 32 people in the room you can play with just 16 people which will make the maps smaller, if you want.
