	jester2358 posted 20/01/2012, 03:44 I wonder if Sony will continue development on the socom franchise , after the sales of this and to a lesser extent confrontation. Wouldn't mind seeing one on the vita . On a brighter note I think MAG2 would be outstanding on ps4. Message \| Report
	jace101 posted 15/01/2012, 01:11 This game is great the graphics are killer. If you can get use to the 3rd person element this game rocks. I think that's why people who say they don't like are thinking it's a cod game. ITS NOT! It's a tactical shooter. Message \| Report
	FullMetalMerc posted 12/01/2012, 12:21 bad everything and the story was so generic, worse than a COD story. Sad cuz i was so pumped for this game after the other socom games and after MAG Message \| Report
	Pjams posted 11/01/2012, 08:02 Just played through the Sp, and i thought it was great. I enjoyed the gameplay and story a lot. And the graphics are really good.

	ylowbstard posted 15/12/2011, 07:39 So, to those who have played it, what's your honest opinion of the Single-Player campaign? I loved Socom (despite the ridiculous difficulty spikes), Socom 3, and especially the brilliant Socom 2, but Confrontation really crushed my admiration of the series. I'm not that intersted in MP, but If the SP is worth it, I'll pick this game up! Message \| Report

	jace101 posted 10/10/2011, 04:44 The only reason these sales numbers are low is because of the PSN shutdown.3 games have suffered sales do to the PSN shutdown.Motorstorm apocalypse,Socom 4 both released at or before the shutdown.Resistance 3 couldnt get the tester's online those 2 months.All 3 games ROCK! Hopefully this holiday season sales will pick up. Message \| Report

	CmdrVOODOO posted 11/08/2011, 03:42 It's not going to come anywhere close to 1 million. It's selling less than 4k a week now (at its current rate it would take like 4 more years to reach 1 million). No one is playing it anymore, and there are enough used copies out there now that people aren't going to buy the game new. It's a bad game that got deservingly bad reviews. Its multiplayer has bad game modes, horribly cluttered maps, ridiculous bullet spray and a broken party system. And worst of all, the game isn't being supported very well because so many of the original team (including the lead dev) have gone. The game is a joke. Message \| Report

	TurismoT posted 04/06/2011, 07:39 I've tried to keep quiet, but I just can't hold it in any longer. I have to tell everyone that Vekta's claims are pure tripe. I will start this discussion by arguing that we have a number of problems for which Vekta bears most of the responsibility. Then, I will present evidence that Vekta's grand plan is to further political and social goals wholly or in part through activities that involve force or violence and a violation of criminal law. I'm sure Mao Tse Tung would approve. In any case, Vekta says that he is the arbiter of all things. That's his unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely uppity and poxy lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Vekta's habituÃ©s. There have been reports of rampant drunkenness, performances by strippers, public nudity, and other licentious and hotheaded behavior at every gathering of Vekta's minions. And that's why I say to you: Have courage. Be honest. And inculcate in the reader an inquisitive spirit and a skepticism about beliefs that Vekta's spokesmen take for granted. That's the patriotic thing to do, and that's the right thing to do. Message \| Report

	Vekta posted 30/05/2011, 03:21 example, games like brink, they came out during the peak of the psn outage where almost everybody knew about it, especially since it was all over the news. But thats another story, back to the topic, all you new fanboys for this game all yall did was talk about on the forums how this game would sell a ton and score high on the metacritic and would be amazing, you all couldnt wait for it cause yall were expecting it to do so well, now that the numbers prove it didnt do so well along with the reviews being mostly mixed now yall wanna make a 1001 excuses to why it didnt hit those goals? and then use excuses and change your goal post and be like " oh i dont need sales and reviews to tell me how good this game is ", well guess what, get over it, yall sound like a bunch of cry babies and sore losers, move on. pathetic i tell you pathetic.

	Vekta posted 30/05/2011, 03:12 wow to the ones defending this game because it didnt reach expectations, waaaah waaaaah & waaaaah and cry some more about it, so what it failed to meet its expectations for sales especially for those saying it was going to shoot pass 3 million, move the f*** on, its actually pathetic that you guys make sorry ass excuses because the game didnt hit big numbers, if it didnt hit those high expectations than man up and admit and grow some balls, instead of making a 1001 excuses like psn being down, the time it went down not everyone at the time knew psn was down and its not like the knew it would be down for almost a month, if people really wanted this game they wouldve gotten it already, especially for all its hype for the single player, its not like they wouldve waited allt his time to get it if they really wanted it, face it the game failed, every other online game and offline games were able to sell even with the psn outage.

	osamanobama posted 29/05/2011, 07:44 man, are these emeaa sales for real. it seems hard to believe. SOCOM Confrontation sold much much better, and it released there 6 months after America, and got worse reviews on a smaller install base. but unfortunately this game shipped with psn being down, that probably hurt a lot. if this game would have released last september like it was supposed to it would be a great Move launch title and sell tons. well i just bought my copy for $44 new, hope its worth it Message \| Report

	Procrastinato posted 28/05/2011, 12:19 These numbers don't include the Full Deployment Edition. NPD mentioned that said bundle would also have ranked in the software top 10 on release week, if bundles were counted. SOCOM 4 has thus sold at least 250K more copies than this number. Message \| Report
	gorilla posted 27/05/2011, 07:56 @Homer I hope you enjoyed this socom game, because Sony is ditching the title after this game. Socom has hit the chopping block. MGS 5mill, GOW 3Mill, Uncharted 2 4mill, Socom 4 0.39k LMAO! Who ever called this legs is blind. These are like worm legs. Its walking alright. Closer to half a mill every week.

Uncharted 2 for single player is on a whole other league and a leage of its own from s4's single player. Message \| Report
	Vekta posted 20/05/2011, 11:56 wait a minute dude, saying good is one thing but dont you ever compare this games single player to uncharted, uncharted got game of the year for its sp and not to mention its notorious for its sp, And dont even use that single player bullshit as an excuse, all the new fans talked about how the single player would carry this game and now that the single player failed now the excuses poor in? Message \| Report
	butcherknife posted 20/05/2011, 05:44 I love this game. Wish it was doing better. It is a refreshing change from all the FPSs out there. Multiplayer feels perfect. Singleplayer is solid, good, fun, but not great...like Uncharted. Multiplayer is where it is at though. I almost feel like the inclusion of a singleplayer story mode is why the reviewers scores are low and th4e game would have been better off with multiplayer only, which brings nme back to the memories of SOCOM 1 multiplayer.

	gorilla posted 14/05/2011, 06:59 wow this game is moving at a snails pace. 1,000,000 sales is garbage for a game now a day. Im not buying this crap as a socom game becuase it is not a socom game. Sure the Socom name is on the title, but it aint the original crew specter, jester, joker its some fruity team from around the world. No disrespect but if they wanted to go around the world I could have played as the Gurkas from Britain or something, but not this. This is game shold have been called Call of Uncharted Socom 2. Confrontation and Combined assult are much better Socom games than this. Message \| Report

	Vekta posted 08/05/2011, 10:52 just because it had those pre-orders doesnt mean every single person was going to get it, you gotta take in consideration of people that didnt pick it up, or people that canceled their pre-orders, or couldve been the people that are die hard socom fans, and then you also gotta take into consideration that a lot of people only got this because of the sharpshooter bundle and turned the game back in.

	CmdrVOODOO posted 11/08/2011, 03:42 It's not going to come anywhere close to 1 million. It's selling less than 4k a week now (at its current rate it would take like 4 more years to reach 1 million). No one is playing it anymore, and there are enough used copies out there now that people aren't going to buy the game new. It's a bad game that got deservingly bad reviews. Its multiplayer has bad game modes, horribly cluttered maps, ridiculous bullet spray and a broken party system. And worst of all, the game isn't being supported very well because so many of the original team (including the lead dev) have gone. The game is a joke. Message \| Report

	TurismoT posted 04/06/2011, 07:39 I've tried to keep quiet, but I just can't hold it in any longer. I have to tell everyone that Vekta's claims are pure tripe. I will start this discussion by arguing that we have a number of problems for which Vekta bears most of the responsibility. Then, I will present evidence that Vekta's grand plan is to further political and social goals wholly or in part through activities that involve force or violence and a violation of criminal law. I'm sure Mao Tse Tung would approve. In any case, Vekta says that he is the arbiter of all things. That's his unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely uppity and poxy lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Vekta's habituÃ©s. There have been reports of rampant drunkenness, performances by strippers, public nudity, and other licentious and hotheaded behavior at every gathering of Vekta's minions. And that's why I say to you: Have courage. Be honest. And inculcate in the reader an inquisitive spirit and a skepticism about beliefs that Vekta's spokesmen take for granted. That's the patriotic thing to do, and that's the right thing to do. Message \| Report

Singleplayer is solid, good, fun, but not great...like Uncharted. Multiplayer is where it is at though. I almost feel like the inclusion of a singleplayer story mode is why the reviewers scores are low and th4e game would have been better off with multiplayer only, which brings nme back to the memories of SOCOM 1 multiplayer.
