Hey guys, after playing Socom Confrontation for a while I started to get a bit bored of it (I kept dying a lot lol) and the constant glitches and problems I came across made it problematic for me. At the moment FTB3 and Confrontation is Slant Six's main job right now and Zipper is busy with MAG (I'm pissed that it's a FPS), so I'm wondering when will the next PS3 Socom will come out with an actual single-player to play and practice in (Truth be told I actually miss the single-player campaigns). I hope it's around next year or after. When do you guys think it will come along?
 
I have no clue when it will come out but I do want single player. I loved single player it was challenging unlike online which would always turn into a run and gun. If a new one does come out I would hope it be soon even though I kind of stopped playing.
 
Yes the next one needs, single player mode! That is the reason i didn't buy it, this time. Any game that doesn't have single player mode is deleted from my buy list!
 
Socom 2 was the best network game i've ever played to this day, easily over 200/300 hours played.

No games came close since and travestys like S3 / CA / Confrontation just keep ruining it
 
I do wonder how many of you have played SOCOM Confrontation since the 1.50 patch has been released, as its made a world of difference to the gameplay. Glitches are gone and the interface is a lot quicker and easier to use.

No it doesn't give it back a single player mode (I personally don't have an issue with that at all), but it does certainly 'fix' the issues the game had in general.

Oh and I can assure anyone who thinks that MAG will make a good SOCOM substitute that they are wrong, totally different style of gameplay.

pre 1.50 was great if you were into the style of gameplay, you could forgive the glytchers and the sometimes clumsy and clunky game physics. But since 1.50 came out the title is a much more polished affair, /6 have prety much taken on board everything sensible the comunity has said in regards "problems" and fixed them all! It now makes COD4 look like a "rough" online game.
As for run and gun gameplay......yep there there, but they usualy die within the first 60 seconds of the match with the majority of the players left to duke it out tacticaly. You will however find most run and gunners playing the unranked respawn rooms, and saying that it's usualy a 50/50 split between runers and tac players, which is great as us tac players like to have some nice visible moving targets to practice with LOL

SOCOM has been around a long time, as for the early incarnations, theres a certain amount of rose tinted glasses syndrome with them. when your talking about the early online socoms you have to remember it was the players that made it great, go in the right rooms and confrontation has those same long time fans dukeing it out and theres that great SOCOM experience still there but with PS3 hardware to bring it to the next level.
When talking about single player also, SOCOM has allways been about online play, that was the best bit about the game. sure Confrontation could have had a single player and have costed twice as much at retail because of it, but ultimatly most people would spend most of there time in the multiplayer section.....so the decision to drop single player was a logical one. Not a decision everyone liked but thats the thing with decisions, theres allways some who will think it's wrong, which in truth it is from there perspective and opinion, but for the whole comunity I personaly think it was the right move to drop single player. You want single player, your hard pressed to beat COD4's epicness or the up and coming Operation flashpoint 2.

I can't play Socom or any online game at the moment because I'm in need of new router for my apartment. And there's no close internet outlet to plug in an ethernet cable close by too.:( I wanna try 1.50 really bad.
