just got socom online

navyboy · 09-26-2005

hey ppl, ive had socom for a while but cudnt be stuffed playing it cuz offline was pretty crap. Neways after playing for a while i realised i sucked like hell and got something like 2-20. I cudnt even kill a guy when i was behind him with a frickin machine gun. DO u guys no nething that wud help me and was any1 as krap as me?

UPDATE: IM DOING WAY BETTER NOW, ive been killing more people with heaps of different weapons (best score 3-1

) . My favourite stuff is: m4a1sd, m4a1-m203, m60e3, mounted machine gun, mounted grenade launcher, 552. I hate the M16 because for some reason i can only fire burst?///@. I have a bad habit of grenading my own ppl: ive killed one enemy with it and 3 team mates

go into respawn and just play respawn for a few days get the hang of all the guns get to aim better and then go into real games

Yeah, the respawn idea is great, but I'd suggest finding some friends and let them show you the ropes. Oh, and get a dictionary, your grammar is horrible! :D

when I started playing i was S-H-I-T-E!!!

I would die all the time straight away and never get kills. Now I know NEVER to just run straight out into the open looking for people and also to just be patient. Plus after a while you find good places to camp etc

Tips and Tactics forum should prove useful.

Ya I was horrible on my first week or two. Thank God I had some good friends to show me the ropes so I could pass them up.

I always play respawns and I am the #1 person alot of the time. Respawns are great practice and not very stressful.
One thing I noticed about my socom timespan was that I have had my "phases" of using guns. First I used the m60 alot, then the m14/m4a1, then the IW-80, then the M14/m16. Now I pretty much use every gun in respawn (choose a new one every time) but in real games I go with the m16 or the m4. Don't be afraid to use new guns or even very unpopular guns, because many have hidden potential for different people. You only need 1 bullet to the head to kill, unless the lag gets ya!

Everyone does horrible there first couple of days and/or weeks. It takes practice to get used to the game. I suggest you go into a few respawns and get the feel of some of the guns, and stick with one you like. After that just keep playing ad you will soon pick all the tricks of this game as well!

I remember I got this game January 05' and was horrible, I couldn't throw grenades, move back and forth, aim, plant bombs etc..

I had a friend teach me the basics and I learned from there, now I have 2 captain names :)
