I don't see why people say Slant Six ruined SOCOM, I mean, I'm a long time fan of the series, and think SOCOM: Confrontation is a great game, I don't see any problems with it whatsoever, and people should lay off them, I mean, it's hard to keep up to the standards of Zipper, but if you ask me, they sure pulled it off...

... Inotherwords, if this is true, then I'm game, seems like it'd be great!

The game didn't function properly for 6 months - it had features missing that were printed on the back of the box - for half a ****ing year. They forgot to make password protected rooms, ruining clan warfare. Worst of all, they released the game with 7 maps (3 of which were remakes of old maps) and din't ****ing put out any DLC for over a year.

 That is a disgrace, quite simply a disgrace. They took one of the best online series and took a dump on it from the heavens. Nothing is left of the Socom community (In Europe anyway) and Zipper are going to have to work miracles to save this game with Socom 4.

 God I just hope they remake Socom 2, put it in HD, add tropheis and give us 3 new maps every month. That'd be absolutely ****ing incredible, and the only thing that would save this game from the stain left by Siant Six.

Lol calm down pal, no need to go on a nerdrage, lol...

But seriously, you've got to realise, making games are hard, especially when you've got to live up to the quality of the previous games... and besides, weren't they on a tight schedule for it, maybe that's why so many features were missing, and some maybe got overlooked. But seriously, the game, as of now, is a great play, although as you've said, it's taken a while to get where it is, but hey, better late then never to be honest.

Besides... it's not the ONLY game that hasn't lived up to fan expectations, or hasn't got it right first time around o.O

The game came out after a 10 month delay, and then took 6 months of patching to fix. It took a year to expand an online only game's map roster beyond 7 maps (Of which only 4 were new). It had the most basic features removed, such as passworded rooms and text chat in lobbies.

 This is nothing to do with not living up to fan expectations, this is a game that completely rewrote the textbook on 'how not to launch an online game'. It personifies how to kill an established franchise >_>. It sickens me Siant Six still exsist to make this game, while Free Radical are pretty much no more.
