I've been waiting to hear this for a long time!

 

[Auditor_Kevin]

I hate it when developers try to rush out a sequel!!

 

[clintz]

Awesome, I just came here to post this as well.

It's going to be by Zipper again (thankfully), sorry /6!

 

[Auditor_Kevin]

I predict this thread will grow to be very very very long between now and the Fall.


With that in mind - let me officially be the first to ask:


Can someone please hook me up with a beta code???

I was a big fan and addict of socom 1&2. But if it's anything like this last socom, then I will have to pass. I can't read the articles in the links cause I'm at work and those type of sites are blocked, but is it still Slant6 doing it or has it been sent back to its rightful owner to be done right...by Zipper?

Oh snap! LOL, I didn't even see that part. Well now I can look forward to it and following its development. Right now, BFBC2 is taking all of my time. That game is put together pretty damn good, and I've only played MP so far. Hopefully Zipper will get the Socom series back in the right direction because it is my all-time favorite, and Slant6 crushed its legacy. Please bring back Fish Hook!

I was just about post this too. This is awesome!

I would be happy if they redid Socom 2 on blu-ray,like they did with God of War. Fix the hit detection,lag, and make all the original maps night or day, and they have an easy money maker. I would love to play Bitter Jungle, and Fish Hook with no lag or slowdown. And to me Socom has always had the best mic system with the push to talk, and the ability to vote out annoying players.

Ditto. And they can exclude a stat for kill/death ratio...

 

[KingShorty]

This is great news.

 

[MarkcusD]

This is what they should have done in the first place.

 

[William Mapstone]

I wonder if there was a team working on this at the same time as MAG, as Fall 2010 seems optimistic....

 

[mbeiler]

So we have a 3 year drought on tactical shooters, then SOCOM 4 and Ghost Recon in the same year? Whatever I'll take it.


Hopefully Zipper uses some of the power that is freed up by going back to 32 player matches and improves the animations/special effects from MAG

Sweeeeet.

What makes a shooter a tactical shooter?

The PS3 SOCOM from slant6 was not?

They have been working on it for about 2 and a half years, so there has to be 2 teams.

I only played SoCOM 3 and was greatly disappointed in the game finding system. Super confusing if you didn't use the initial "get into game" button at the beginning. I was new so I was trying to find matches that would allow respawn and that seemed to take me forever... I hope they can improve that.
