Can somebody explain to me the appeal of SOCOM? I'm not bashing it or anything--I played the first one on PS2, and found it pretty dull. It wasn't bad, but I've never understood what draws so many to it when there are other games that do multiplayer tactical combat better. I'd really like to understand what the appeal is, if anyone would care to explain.

OT: The new game DOES have me kind of interested.

SOCOM was basically the only game that people played online on PS2 for longer than a few months and where there were several active clans playing.

I also like the idea of playing SOCOM now, basically cause I haven't really played the parts on PS2. Couldn't really get the online stuff working.

 @ dallinor: Yeah, me too. A headset which simulates 5.1 or 7.1 sounds, that would be terrific. :D
