   I guess I was lucky in a sense, I came into this game just recently, having played the original SOCOM in beta, it was one of the games I missed most when I bought the xbox 360. The xbox died for the fourth and final time so I decided to snag a new ps3 slim!
   
   Anyhow, there doesn't seem to be a huge number of bugs in this game as it stands. i can certainly understand people being upset if they bought this game in the early stages and essentially paid for a beta. The online is fun and competitive, weapons selection is great. This is an online only game, there is no single player campaign, so you do your learning online against everyone else. I really don't think this is a huge deal for anyone who plays online games frequently.
   
   Given the choice between SOCOM, Battlefield Bad Company and Modern Warfare (1 haven't played the new one) I would easily pick SOCOM Confrontation. I hope they come up with some new maps soon as there are some from previous games I really miss.

   I am a BIG fan of the Socom series...except this one. The very first mistake that they did was make it an On-line ONLY based game. The game is great in terms of graphics. The sound is amazing. The movement is suprisingly fast, depending on your connection, but mine is pretty fast.
   
   What makes this game frustrating is that lack of intelligence of those that are playing. Don't play this game around kids and don't have the blue tooth on. You'll hear all the cursing and downright raunchy comments made by the guys playing the game. If you are a novice, like I am, forget it. I've been "Voted Out" by the other players maybe because I wasn't fast enough, or had enough kills and even learning how the game is. I'm just learning the game. But, to tell the truth, I don't know if I want to learn the game as much now. Because the levels are just not that interesting. I like the other games which you had missions to do and you had to converse with your team where to go and what to do. They did it. Maybe not right all the time, but you didn't see a whole team running about with no coordination. Everyone seems to just be going where they please.
   
   This game IS a great idea though. Connecting players everywhere to play a game. I just think there are parameters that should be built in the game. Lose the communication. Useless. I've heard nonsense. One guy was singing a song. Another bragging that he was high and needed to get more booze so he can get really drunk. I don't want to hear that. So, what I found myself doing was leaving the BlueTooth on, and just setting it on the counter so I wouldn't hear all the nonsense. I turned off the ear piece one time and you can here their stupid comments through the speakers with the rest of the game and my kid was in the room!!
   
   One thing that I wish that this game had was a level of skill where you can join a game on your skill level. For example, when you connect to a game, it would automatically put you in a game where all players that are of lower rank would play. If you were a high rank, it would keep you out, because obviously, you don't belong. Then as you increase your skills, you graduate to another level where you are teamed with guys on that level, and so on. That would be much better I think. Because it seems like no matter what skill level you are, you'll be in the mix with guys that play the game together and will actually KILL YOU if you are not up to their standards.
   
   So, I don't really recommend this game at all. I'm sorry that I purchased it.

   I was maybe able to play this game for 5 minutes; I wish it wasn't playstation network only. if they would have included a story/campaign mode for single player would be great.
   The online meet up room interface is horrible.

   U should get this. It is a steal with the bluetoothheadset. The game is ok. U need good team stratagy. To win. But get this bundle if u want the headset if u don't like the game then sell it.

   Looked forward to getting this game, and found out, there was no game. The only thing is that you are connected to the internet, choose up sides, and kill each other, with somewhat varying landscapes. A real loser and waste of money. Gamespot basically put no worth in it, not even giving me the cost of the bluetooth headset. What a rip! I wanted to rate this no stars, because it did not deserve even one star.
