just out of Curiosity, What Guns are people using here? I have been using the SCAR-HW as my primary and the MP5 as my secondary weapon.

Re: SOCOM 4

Seem to be on the Insurgents mostly....so I roll with the FAL, and i forget the sub I carry...ppl think the subs are too ineffective...i quick switch to sub if i near any close quarter encounter...i destroy any assault rifle with quickness.

Dont know if anyone knows but it took me a while to figure out....but Hold L2 the DPad left (primary) or right (secondary) to change fire mode for your weapons..i usually burst fire my ARs anyway, this helps me a lot more at longer distances.

Re: SOCOM 4

i use m4a1 as the primary and i forget which LMG ive been using as secondary. i play alot of the mode where u capture the A,B,C then unlock the headqtrs location to take that over and win. so i work my way to a point with my A/R then set up and whip out the LMG to play defense and hold it down as long as i can.

it sucks as soon as i stop playing for the last 2 days they turn on double xp. gonna have to get on tonight

Re: SOCOM 4

So I've been thinking of picking this game up, been looking for another shooter exclusive to the PS3. Last one I got was Killzone 3. Do you guys think this game is good in terms of MP?

I played the beta but only played a few hours and wasn't too great.

Re: SOCOM 4

I haven't been on a lot and I'm not very good, but I've enjoyed the MP. Best advice is go to Gamestop and pick up a used copy and try it out. If you don't like it then return it and wait for Duke Nukem in a few weeks :P

Re: SOCOM 4

I love the game....i find it hard to get great scores consistantly right now which is what makes me want to keep playing...plus i am trying to get a feel for what guns i like and the rank / mods got me wanting to see how each guns actually works when its modded.

Overall i am enjoying this wayy better than Confrontation so far. Confrotation is what turned me off from Socom and i own every socom even the psp ones

Re: SOCOM 4

Walmart in Canada has Socom 4 for $ 39. I'm thinking about picking it up......

For you guys with the game. How is the "Classis" multiplayer mode ???

-Do alot of people actually play Classic mode or is it a ghost town ?
-Does this mode track stats or is it just an unranked mode ?
-Is it similar to Confrontation in how it plays ?
-Is it open mic or turned based talking like in all the previous Socoms ?
-When playing online is "classic" mode consider the "real way to play" ?
-Any other key points you've guys noticed when playing Classic mode?

Any feedback would help......thanks.

PS: I dont care for the "respawn" mode at all !

Insurgent side I have been using the ATAC (mod3) and the CM9 (SMG)
Spec Ops side I was using the IW(mod5) but have since switched to the 556. Have to mod that one up with some Standard suppression matches this afternoon.

Re: SOCOM 4

-Do alot of people actually play Classic mode or is it a ghost town ?

It's hard to tell since you can't see how many people are playing in each mode, but I haven't had any trouble finding full games to play in. Only in Abandoned, since that was a gamestop exclusive.

-Does this mode track stats or is it just an unranked mode ?

Stats are tracked for both Classic and Standard mode. There are separate stats for each, but some stats like your overall kills and deaths are combined.

-Is it similar to Confrontation in how it plays ?

Not really, they changed a lot of stuff from the older SOCOMs. No more demo, extraction, or breach. Shooting mechanics are totally different. Mod system is progressive rather than available from the start. There aren't a lot in common between the two games.

-Is it open mic or turned based talking like in all the previous Socoms ?

Respawn is open mic, Classic is tap D-pad up to talk. Tapping it opens your mic channel for about 10 seconds. More than one person at a time can open up a mic channel.

-When playing online is "classic" mode consider the "real way to play" ?

Zipper designed this game so that both Respawn and Classic are equal. In fact, Respawn is called Standard. So there really is no real way to play.

-Any other key points you've guys noticed when playing Classic mode?

If you're expecting something like SOCOM 1 or 2, you'll probably be greatly disappointed. If you're playing with an open mind and can accept changes, you might like it. There are some things coming in a patch that will help out the game a lot, and if they can add some mode classic maps and modes it will be more similar to the older games.

Re: SOCOM 4

One thing that irks me is that when playing classic medley is that they dont rotate all the maps in. Why would they do this?? Maybe it can be patched.

they dont when ur playing standard either...theres 2 maps ive yet to play cuz they only come up in small medley: outpost and collision. it sux cuz im always playing the same 5 or 6 maps cuz i dont have the abandoned map either. with the small number of maps at launch they really shouldnt have made any maps that wouldnt be included in all modes. makes it seem like less maps than there already is
