I can’t wait to try the stealthy approach! Can you not make your teammate throw a grenade though? :P Just wondering. I’m ok with doing it but maybe I wanna be lazy!

I had pre-ordered this and paid in full like a year ago it seems, right after MAG was released and Zipper announced they were currently under development of SOCOM 4. After playing the beta now for a long period I have decided to cancel my pre-order.The beta reveals that either Zipper or Sony are pushing SOCOM 4 into a MAG/COD experience. If I had to guess they are trying to get some of that huge market that COD has by dumbing down the game for run&gunners.There is a ton of issues, too many to list so I will direct you to view the SOCOM beta forums where you can see the numerous issues. IMO they should remove the SOCOM title and call it something new (maybe “MAG 2 – NOW IN THIRD PERSON”) since it is very apparent SOCOM has left the building in this release. Anyway these are my opinions, you don’t have to agree just read the beta forums.

The reviews that are coming in are not a good sign for the future of the franchise. We are looking at 2 failures under two developers for one title in one generation.

@XenoNative

Its called the Full Deployment Bundle it will launch Apr 19 as well and you can preorder anywhere.

Comes with Move controller, Nav controller, PS Eye, Sharpshooter, and SOCOM 4 obviously for $150.
Rock solid deal and the Sharpshooter is a game changer!

Hi Zipper,

I work for SCE so I got SOCOM 4 earily and am about halfway through the campaign. I have unlocked about 12 trophies but when I sync my PSN acct they dont show up? However in my Trophy Collection under “Game” on the XMB they show up. LOVIN SOCOM 4, Move integration and sharpshooter are great! Please help with this though! If I dont get these trophies it will really put a damper on things!

Watching a team execute a plan perfectly is a thing of beauty! I love having the option of using 4 squad members, but I must admit I want to be in the middle of the action, too. It’d be cool if there was a stat for MP that showed the percentage of assists/kills a player has next to 1 or more teammates to show their team player-ness. The player wouldn’t have to be right beside teammates since snipers can’t be left out. The enemy is what would have to be within a certain range, maybe similar to the Bomb Tech assist range.

Take SOCOM out of the title and I’d consider buying this game. It’s not SOCOM, sorry.
