Please bring back the Scout control configuration. It is also called “Legacy” thumbsticks in some games. Also, I bet there are a few people who would like “Lefty” thumbsticks options as well.

Scout (Legacy) = Left stick controls move up/down, turn left/right. Right stick controls look up/down and strafe left/right.

I really enjoyed the Beta and hope to get the full game!

Thank you in advance!

Zipper: “No, you will have this and you will like it.”

SOCOM Community: “Um, no we won’t, it’s not what we wanted at all”

Zipper: “…………….”

SOCOM Community: “Umm, hello? What about lobbies, we don’t like this system you put in”

Zipper: “It is brilliant and you will like it.”

SOCOM Community: “No, we really won’t, it doesn’t work, it won’t help expand the community and is not user-friendly”

Zipper: “…………..”

SOCOM Community: “Perhaps we should take our thoughts on what made SOCOM so great and help someone who actually cares about the people playing the games make a new SOCOM beater then?”

Zipper: “I can’t hear you as I am too busy stuffing my ears with the money you spent hoping that this game would be anything like what you actually wanted. We make the game WE want not what you want. And that game is Call of Duty. I mean SOCOM. For GameStation 3″.

SOCOM Community: “Do any of you at Zipper ACTUALLY OWN CONSOLES OR PLAY GAMES?”

I cannot, for the life of me, fathom why Zipper cannot give the people what they want. It’s like they don’t actually play the games they make.

We want SOCOM 2 in HD, really. We would go nuts for it. Instead, everything that made that game so, so great, for so, so many people, has been lost.

I am very, very disappointed.

I’d also like to ask why on Earth Zipper can’t manage a half-decent weapon selection system that is instinctive and instead go for the finger-bending slow system S4 has now. What’s wrong with “D-pad left to cycle primary, D-pad right to cycle equipment”, for example? You’ve only got 2 of each so it would be soooo easy. The current system is just ridiculous. As a gamer of 30 years I am constantly stunned by the mistakes made by Sony and Zipper with the SOCOM franchise, which has taken steps backwards ever since S2. SUCH a shame. We loved that game and would still play it today if we could.

The community are CRYING OUT for lobbies. I don’t want to “quick play” in rooms with strangers who, more often than not, don’t even speak my language.

I want regionalised lobbies, 8 v 8 games on tight matches that don’t have respawn and don’t last forever. Like SOCOM 1 & 2. SOCOM 3 ruined things with 16 v 16 battles (way too big, games too long) and now S4 has ruined it further with stupid game modes and NO LOBBIES!

Sure, I understand the “quick match” has to be there for the brainless impatient morons who can’t bring themselves to find a room. But the lobbies MADE the SOCOM communities, be they the regionalised lobbies that meant you could play with people you have things in common with – like locality and LANGUAGE! – or the mid-game lobbies where you could chat, build relationships, have a great laugh and BUILD THE SOCOM COMMUNITY.

By the way this BETA got me hooked, I like it. LOL
