That's why in CoD I only played hardcore search and destroy. Made the game feel more like Socom and made deaths actually mean something. Never really liked modes that had respawns. You end up with people just constantly running out and making dumb decisions.
I think u mean desert glory or sandstorm everyone blended in perfectly on those 2 damn maps, Lag hook tho the inevitable barrage of 7292y372827 grenades in the beginning of every round, i used to run around wit the hostages wit me to try and get the grenades to hit em Socom 2 is the greatest online game ever the maps were really balanced and every gun felt like it shot differently. I prolly damn near caught bloodclots playin that game for so long at a time
I rank COD4 ahead of it barely but I agree with everything else. I can't believe a game that came out almost 20 years ago still has a better online setup than most games released today. Yeah there were cheats and exploits but for the most part if you wanted to get into the top ranks you needed to really warn it with solid play and not just grinding levels. I swear if Sony could just remaster Socom 2 I would buy a PS4 today. They wouldn't even need to change anything. Just release new maps every so often as dlc and I would be good.
Socom confrontation and Socom 4 tried but it just wasnt the same I actually enjoyed Socom 3 but they made the maps so gigantic that it lost the aesthetic from the first two I think the ship has sailed permanently
