Why Socom 3 is Unaddictive, Not Fun, and Just not the same!!

[ProudFighter]

Quit. Stop making these dam topics about how socom 3 sucks, go whine on some other fourm.

I cant disagree more with your post ProudFighter. This is what forums are about and free speech. This is not Communist Russia where all slander on Socom 3 and Zipper will get you 10 years in a Siberian dungeon. If someone wants to express what you consider is a negative opinion, let him. Either ignore the thread or reply with a counter opinion (not a flame about his noobish ideas). This is the only thing that bothers me about these forums.

In reply to the starting post.

I know what you mean dude. These maps just don't retain a "Socom" feel. From Socom 1 to Socom 2 You could'nt play every map as a respawn. I think that was more of a good thing because now it's hard to find a map that is'nt set on suppression. To hard to find an escort or extraction or even a good breach. These maps just don't take strategy anymore like Fishhook did. I know we all remember trying to get that last terrorist out of the upstairs room with the hostages. Now almost noone even goes to the few buildings that are left on maps.

Well thats my opinion. It's still not a halfbad game at it's core though..,

Fish Hook was intense

Okay, I haven't read the last nine pages, but here is what I think is generally wrong with S3 ... too much choice. When you give people the choice to play any gameplay on any map, you find that the types of gameplay that are more challenging tend to just disappear. So here I am, I've had the game since October and I can't remember a single time that I've ever seen anyone playing an Escort game. Ever.

In S2, if you wanted to play Foxhunt, which was a kickass map, you had to play Escort. Same with the Mixer. If you wanted to play Desert Glory, you had to play Extraction. It was all part of the package. Now people have realized that they like a certain map, but all they want to do is kill kill kill so all you ever see is Suppression. While Suppression is fun, it eliminated 2 of the 3 dimensions that the game had. Suddenly it's all about run and kill, run and kill. Fun, yeah, but it gets old a LOT faster than S2 ever did.

And don't even get me STARTED about spawncamping ... I remember a day when you were considered a prime and supreme ******* to spawncamp. Now you can't play a small respawn without some jackass with an MK48 sitting in your spawn or, even worse, some jackass with a sniper rifle glitching into it. Give me a break.

That said, I still play it all the time and I do enjoy the game. But I don't enjoy it the way I enjoyed S2.

Many of you complain about the maps and how theyre not fun anymore.. but im sure the majority of you would all be bitching if s3 had the same maps as s2.. with the exception of a couple new ones. Everyone would be like "whats the point of spending 50 bucks on the same games with new features"...

[big-boy]

s3 blows, no competition at all, how can you compete with snipers in every rm, and silenced guns, and ghillie suits, zipper just toolk all the fun away from us socom 1 & 2 veterans, socom 3 is a disgrace to me, its no fun at, i had fun the first day when i got 50 kills then it jost got to easy with everyone using the "noob" guns, in s2 you got made fun of if used them. i can s2 for hrs without getting unless i get mad and the same guy kills me with his m67 every god dang time, but thats cool b/c u needed skill in s2. friday 23rd socom II partay
