I commend you for at least being decisive, but cannot commend your decision being so influenced by the state of the poll at the time of your voting. I apologize if I'm coming off as a dick. | ||

Huh...I'm not familiar with SOCOM, but the wikipedia article for the game labels it as a "Third-person and first-person shooter." I guess I assumed it would be more like today's FPS games than any games in the Action bracket. However, if I rename the bracket to "Shooter," then many games in the Action bracket would fit better in Shooter, such as Gears of War. I think it's better for there to be one black sheep in the FPS bracket. | ||

But that option was never really used (I am talking about Socom 2 and 1 since those are the last real Socom games). You can leave it as it is then  [EDIT] Also thanks for putting it in the list! It's a game that is often overlooked. I've played it for a couple of years and it is my favorite game ever. Too bad it will lose first round | ||

I think it's better for there to be one black sheep in the FPS bracket. SOCOM had a third-person view as the default with 2 additional "zoom" levels. Zoom level 1 was first person view(there's a night-vision toggle on night maps in the FP view - I'll call that 1.5), only without the ability to see your gun. Zoom level 2 was scoped (if the gun had a scope). Most (if not all) people would agree that the third-person view is superior for running around (you can see your level of camouflage and see around corners - you can also see when enemies are close because your character will shoulder their gun). | ||

Convoy mode, vehicles & ghillie suits were really the only differences between 2 & 3. Confrontation was the first truly suck SOCOM game (gg Slant Six), and then SOCOM 4 was less suck but still shit compared to 1-3 & Combined Assault. | ||

I mean maybe the topic should be teamliquid's favorite video game other than starcraft ^_^ We can always pit the winner of the RTS category against Starcraft at a later time. Who knows? TL's love of Starcraft may be a generational thing - a generation I'm proud to be a part of  | ||

Hehe, that's okay. I know the margin of victory has no influence on the following round, I just don't want to poll to be so 1-sided that people immediately dismiss the other game as not being a good contender, ya know? If people see that their preferred game just barely won perhaps they will intrigued as to the greatness of the other game that nearly beat it. | ||

SOCOM 2 > SOCOM 1 > Confrontation > SOCOM 3 & Combined Assault > SOCOM 4 imho. Confrontation was a failed attempt to revive the SOCOM franchise BUT they almost did it right. The idea was good, but they failed to execute it. For example: The menu system was shit, the armor and weapon selection was shit, they didn't have enough good maps, the rounds were too short,... I could go on, BUT it was better then SOCOM 3. SOCOM doesn't need cars and stuff like that. I could write an essay about the SOCOM franchise but that's for another thread I think haha. Also don't get me started about SOCOM 4. SOCOM 4 isn't even worthy of the SOCOM name. It isn't a SOCOM game. It doesn't have the core mechanics the other SOCOM games had. I am not saying it is a bad game, it's just not a SOCOM game imo. But I respect your opinion though :p it's good to see that there are people on TL that have played SOCOM. | ||

I am honestly of the opinion that this game should be the no1 FPS. I guess not many people agree lol The level design far surpasses anything i have seen since. | ||
