For one thing the ranks themselves are dumb and useless. But besides that, I like ranked games WAY more simply because: A)Glitchers and teamkillers get voted quickly (for the most part) B)People want to win, so you can actually play as a team. C)Unverified names that are alter-egos of different players can't get in (you see alot of these in unranked games, people with names that sound really dumb, or vulgar, or stupid. The kinda thing that as soon as you see the name, you just know the loser is planning to mess thinhgs up. IE: ageofpoo)

Playing in ranked rooms has it's pros and cons.

For the most part, people in ranked games know what they are doing, especially when it is a user created game. User created ranked games almost always have friendly fire turned off, which is another plus.

In ranked games though, you're more likely to see cheap tactics. Lots of people running around in ghillie suits with F90s, 3 times more people camping as far away as possible with a sniper rifle in a ghillie suit.

Most ranked games I've played in, people are trying to win more than they are playing just for kicks. With unranked rooms, it doesn't really matter if you went 1-8, and got swept by the other team.

I would verify more for the sake of being able to have a clan and friends list. Socom gets 10x more better when you play with people you know and can count on to pull their weight.

For $20 you can get a prepaid Visa card at various retailers. Use that to verify and then go spend the money on the card. Buy your mom some flowers, she'll dig that.

I have one and can Use it if I want..I mean Im going to..liek I said nearest one is like so many hours away unless bank has some (which they might)..dunno why they would steal and why would zipper do this if they knoew they can Handle it w/o being sued?

And omega..I dont like joining user created rooms. :(

i gotta see if bank sells one and how many hours does it take to clear the verification process?

Zipper won't steal/sell your info, and to put those hacker concerns at bay, they delete your cc info after 60 days I think.

User created rooms are where it's at though, depending on who made it. You'll play some of the funnest games in those, simply because the stock games are the basics.

For example, Storm Front absolutely sucks as a map. It's every S3 wannabe sniper's wet dream. When you put that map on night, play control points or demo, restricted to shotguns or pistols only, it's one of the funnest maps in the game.
