Socom 4 Forums

The forums have been driving me crazy since the release of MP info.  Kudos to those who have looked at the info we have given with level heads.  Socom is not dead.  Yes it has changed, but change is not always bad.  To believe that Socom 2 is the best third person shooter that will ever be made it ridiculous.  It needs to be updated and it has been.  It does not have to have every classic Socom feature to be a better Socom game, it probably needs new features to be a better Socom.  Stop looking at the word "Classic Mode" in a literal sense.

The 18 people that played that game are not freaking out about it.  Why should you?  We recognize that it is new and different and we have made suggestions to make it a little more like Classic Socom.  Im sure some of our requests will be met. Some may take longer than others.  But zipper is listening to us.  Im not saying to stop requesting features. I am simply saying to do it in a mature fashion. Dont demand it, dont give ultimatums, dont insult Zipper.  Why would they cater a game to people who are insulting them.  Tell them you really want to play the game, but you are concerned about certain features and here are some possible solutions.   

So here are my suggestions for the time being.  Understand what zipper can and cant add and the time frame in which additions can happen.  Don't make arguments about how a feature will play out if you have never played it.  Wait until you play the beta.  Don't say you are not buying Socom, a.) because at this point its not true, and b.) because then zipper has no reason to listen to you anymore. 

And finally stop calling The 18, fanboys. Its starting to loose its meaning, like "noob."  Zipper has not paid us to tell you its a good game, if that was the case we would not have told you about the features that we dont like.  We have just played the game and understand that some of the new features are actually not that bad, and that sometimes its ok to be different from classic Socom. So take a cue from The 18 and chill till the beta.

I will be reading the forums but probably not posting unless new info arises.  If I don't talk to you....see ya in the beta. 

Your Fellow Socomer,
