What the hell are you talking about?

Some nice ideas. I dont like the medics or hostange things, but the others would be good. I just hope they dont rush to get the game out if its not as good as they can make it

Zipper would be stupid not to make another installment of SOCOM (especially using the PS3 capabilities). SOCOM is pretty much the #1 game for PS2, so I'm pretty positive there will be a SOCOM for the PS3.

It's still too early to think about, though. I've just gotten fully comfortable with the maps/mechanics of SOCOM 3. I hope to enjoy this game for a while before a new installment hits the shelves.

Exactly what I was thinking. Why in the world would they not make another one!?!

I feel the same way. I want to be fully ready for a new game and rack on some good times with this game before I think about a new one.

I'd like a better online experience, that offers more features and works. It'd be nice if I could have more information about me in my profile, maybe a picture even (eyetoy, hello?). I'd like to be able to join games, regardless of my rank.

I'd like to be able to customize my character, to resemble me. I'd like more selections of what uniforms/BDUs/gear to wear. I'd like my clan tag displayed on a patch on the uniform. I'd like to see more female characters for all the lady socomers.

I'd like more weapons to choose from. I'd like there to be an automatic pistol available for the Seals as well. I'd like the attachment slots to not be specific to a weapon so that I could put a Rifle Laser, Front Grip and Suppressor on an HK36 if I wanted to, and skip attachments for a pistol.

I'd like age restricted rooms, I'm tired of playing with 12 yr olds.

I'd like the alternate radio channels (channel 1, channel 2) to be open mic to allow easier communication when actually working as a team.

I'd like better designed maps. Many of the small maps you either get sniped or naded just leaving your spawn point. I'd like there to be at least two different ways to get to any point on a map (the castle roof on Citadel is a perfect example of what I mean).

I'd like more uses for C4. I'd like to be able to breach any wall, for those times that the opposing team is camping in their spawn point on Killing Fields small. I'd like to be able to use C4 on vehicles. Sure you'd have a hard time putting it on a moving Technical, but it'd help a lot with Tanks.

I'd like a good mix of Urban and Outdoor maps. That way those (few) of us who don't snipe have maps we can have a good time on.

Just bigger, better, more. Above all, I want to see a major improvement in quality. If I worked for Zipper, I'd be embarassed by the state Socom 3 was released in. There's no reason a major title should be full of so many bugs, and Socom 3 has more problems than Socom 2 did.

I don’t know if they will but I hope so, once PS3 comes out this fall we will see what happens. Socom 3 will die down some after the ps3 launch and People will be looking for the next "popular" shooter for ps3, and like Xbox 360 the #1 game for online is Call of Duty 2. I hope PS3 will have a kick <font color="#FF0000">*censored*</font> game already made and set to launch with the ps3 that will be awesome. But we shall see!

how do u KNOW there isnt going to be a socom 4? why wouldnt there be? especially w/ the ps3 coming out. it makes millions, so why wouldnt they. i disagree with no s4. id be stupid not to make one. and look at all the add ons and features they could make...look at this forum theres a bunch.

in real life you can put a lot more things on the M4. in sc3 you can only put on two. in real life you can put on a rifle laser,surpressor,front grip,and scope. it really isn't the best weapon,but you can do it. also i dislike the blowable enviorment-you can't. if you throw a grenade there shoould be so scaring or something on the walls. also the fact that you can put your gun though a wall with a M16. the M4 was made because the M16 was too big for close combat. as well as hitting the others on on-line. like just a rifle butt to cause some damage, you know?

Deffinatly destructable envitroments. Say you launch a rpg at a door or a room. The door should be blown off plus damage to the house. Also I say customize your own character. Equipment,flap jackets,camo clothes of course would change depending on the envoroment,etc.

I know its early but I cant wait till the next gen SOCOM :D

Oh yeah, that would be pretty sweet. If it could take down walls or a pieces of walls that you can go through, that would eliminate alot of camping lol.

I'd like to see maps that are like Socom 1 and 2(as in the 'shape' of them). In the socom3, the maps are more of a 1 path type of thing, going in a circle/repetative motion. And there are alot of spots where you can only get to by 1 entrance, or very very few small entrances, which you can see, people camp alot because of it.

Many random spawn points throughout the map in respawn. Spawn camping happens way too much, and if there was random spawn points rather than a set spawn for each team, spawn camping would reduce drastically. Plus the game would keep you on edge more, because enemies could be coming towards you from any angle, rather than one side of a map.

A "free-for-all" game, either as a normal game and/or a respawn game.

Game by game stat tracking. (on the web) So you can go to the site, and look up all the games you played, the time you played it, what map it was, gametype, all the people in it, all the kills and deaths everyone in the game had, hit %, headshots, stuff like that.

And what Mike said.

Blowing up buildings would be very cool... Some say not realistic, but remember, we have LAW rockets, C4, 50cal Sniper Rifles, all of which would do serious damage to those mud shacks they have in most of the levels in this game. It's not as hard to knock a house down given the proper equipment and know how. An anti armour missles like the ones in the LAW or even some of the grenades and launchers or even tank rounds could easily lay a house flat. It would also make for every game being a bit different as well... Blow a hole in a roof that wasn't there before and you now have a sniper hole that wasn't there the last time... Something new to look for each and everytime.

And tanks tanks can run over trees, street signs, and pretty much anything else it can come across in this game for that matter...

you can mute players on your team...

and as for all the talk of the ps3 needing a good combat game, dont forget about killzone 2 and Project IM. they both look bad ***
