So How's Socom 2 Now?

[Badandy44]

most glitchers i saw on socom 2 were voted out. but i like socom 2 way better. just like it was easy to play with friends and it was quick and there was no camping or waiting... i say fix the glitchs and bring back like couple maps from 2 plz...

I suppose the online community for Socom II is still alive because there is still quite a lot of users.

But there is quite a lot of glitchers and people who cheat also but the glitchers normally get voted off anyway.

i kinda like it with so little people. there arent nearly as many people online which has really seemed to decrease the lag i experience. and there are a lot more friendly people online. last night i joined a room with my team 90% from a single clan and i was ready for the worst, but it turned about to be great and we all worked together really well. socom at its best :)

there is still 4k on s2..at night usually, and if you think about thats alot more then Madden, Black hawk down, killzone any of those games...its just socom is popular game and so many people so...4k is still alot.

Yes s2 is almost just about dead now but if s2 is almost dead can you imagine the people that still play socom 1? there is prolly only one clan on there now and over half of them play s3 lol

I hate how half the people in this topic only play s3 now and still give out opinions on socom 2. S1 still has 300 people on it, which is a lot more than many online games. S2 is NO WHERE NEAR DEAD. It’s still the second most popular online game for the ps2 that I know of. 6,000 people is a hell of a lot. That’s more than s3 in the morning or work/school hours.

And the other thing I don’t like is how people choose to remember the former socom titles.

Most people remember socom 1 for the cheaters. Not for the kickass abandoned, the awesome fair weapons (even if there was only a little over 10 primary), shootin up the house with blizzard, or any of the challenging single player maps. None of the good *** times where everything is fair fair fair and the only complaint was a few cheaters and glitchers.

Most people now recall socom 2 as the glitcher’s paradise and the game with horrendous lag. Even though most of the time people blamed everything on lag (i.e. bad hit detection, bad aim, the recoil of the guns which mislead people, a good opponent, "minilag", etc.), it still wasn’t that bad in most games (unless your one of those dudes who choose to play Xroads or fishhook with a full room plus spectators in a east room, and then throw a hell of a lot of grenades to get easy kills, then use the m14 stg iw m4 or any other good close range gun and then still expect it not to lag). i cant belive the game that raised people from newbs to kings have put this game down so much when comparing it to its successor.

remember this, respect your elders. never put down the games that brought you to where you are today, even if they dont have as many features.

i played it like a month ago went 8-2 in 2 rounds with a stg-77 then some retarded teamate kills all 3 hostages maybe by accident but i dont care i shoot him up next round hes behind me when we spawn m14 to my back next round i turn quick and own him

Yeah, Socom 3 blows.
It really does. It is horrible. They have made the gliching much easier, a lot laggier, too many players (yet you still cant find anyone in a full room with the god damn size of the maps) It's nuts how they ****ed up on this game.
Im waiting for 25 To Life :) Now that look's neat.

Socom 3 = I’m very disappointed as are many.
I used to waste my time on Socom 2 but I don’t even want to waste my time with Socom 3. It's horrible to play.

Now: arrow: If you don’t think so you obviously didn’t play Socom 2 as I and many others did, 24/7 night-day. We used to love the game and now, I don’t even want to waste my bored ness hours and free time with the game.
My god I can’t rant enough on how horrible the game is.

Zipper-
You added way to many things in Socom 3 
the maps are ridiculous, the amount of time in a room is to long,
You cant find anyone in the huge maps and im not joking. The guns have gotten much worse; I mean what the hell did you do with the M16- It’s pathetic. Now these new features once thought amazing once is now crap. All that time I spent saving up my money and dreaming of playing Socom 3, was a waste. I got the damn game first day right when ebgames opened. 80 bucks for nothing. You guys went overboard this time  What should of really happened was a big update for Socom 2. With new maps and weaponry, suits etc… no cars no 20x maps and 32 players. Just simple, yet good updates that would have made Socom 2 that much better.

Nicely said. I went back and played s2 and I have been hooked on it fr the past 2 weeks. Its amazing. Its like a new game now that everyone else left. I love it. More action, more running and gunning, and most of all more FUN!

Socom 1 and 2 were my life. You just have to get into Socom 3. Seriously I played 1 and 2 online from the day they came out until the day the next came out. Socom 3 is still great, it' so much more balanced, and less problems. Less little kids, WAY WAY WAY less glitches. The glitches take like 5 mins to do just to get it right, and you can't pull your chord anymore...
