Oh, k. It was the way you worded it, that's all. lol
Besides, there's plenty of shooters in the same vein as SOCOM that are still popular. It's just... they're not as big.

Come over and bring MK9, then Paw come over, then someone bring us all food.
Either way, someone come over and distract me from my College Algebra homework.

I said plenty in the same vein as SOCOM. That means, by it's nature: Not mainstream. lol
Besides, the closest thing I'd played to SOCOM recently was the new Medal of Honor.
I'm not talking about controls Espy, I'm talking about the feel and difficulty of the games.
AND **** MELEE.

This is more love than Sony's gotten in years from an internet site. They should give us all free stuff.

lol nah after a few months, people found ways to cheat and get ridiculous scores so they would be on top of the online ladders. These people obviously aren't good at all so it proves nothing at all. Also after a few months rankings didn't mean much either. Not only because people started just playing in r^ (rank up) rooms but because it's honestly pretty easy to get Admiral if you just play somewhat a lot. atleast the top 500+(AT LEAST, I'm being very generous here) all played in rank up rooms or used cheat codes to get a silly rankings on a meaningless online ladder. You can compare it to CoD rankings, just because you're a high prestige doesn't mean you're good at the game, it just shows that you played a lot.
I'm just saying this from my standpoint, I consider myself a really good player and I played on gamebattles and socombattles so I pretty much played with the best players and clans.
on shooters as a whole, most shooters take a similar route to CoD, which is aiming where you aim down the sights and shoot. No run and gun or any of that, just wack *** aim down the sights and shoot. even the new SOCOM has some of this.
EDIT: Combined Assault along with SOCOM 3 was so terrible lol. turning point of the SOCOM series in most people's eyes.
Maaaaaaaaaan
Smash Lord
lmao, who would've thought having to aim would ruin the shooter genre?
CY
Smash Ace
not having to aim genius, hitting the R2 button to look down the sights. it's a different kind of aiming that CoD created. compared to games that actually require more skill to shoot and kill like Counter Strike, Quake, SOCOM, etc. hell, even Halo.
Maaaaaaaaaan
Smash Lord
Haha, I know what you meant, you just worded it hilariously.
Believe me, I'm the most anti-quickscoping person you'll meet. I think it's stupid as all hell.
THAT SAID: Shooters have abandoned the old campy style of before. Anti-camping is much easier these days.

Actually CoD was a refreshing experiance at least 1 was 2 was ok except it got really campy in hardcore and the killstreaks were broken. Imo

I even like CoD, well up until CoD4. but now it's just getting ridiculous, especially after MW2. Literally anyone can be good at MW2, seriously.Actually CoD was a refreshing experiance at least 1 was 2 was ok except it got really campy in hardcore and the killstreaks were broken. Imo
not only this, but now most games copy CoD because of how successful it is. but you can't really blame them, if it works why change it. it just gets really stale and the learning curve is made to where my 1 year old niece can **** ****.

Has anyone played Tribes? That was my favorite shooter back in the day. Barely anyone played it though.
CY
Smash Ace
if you're talking about Tribes Aerial Assault then hell yea I did. I loved that game soooooo much, and the community was about 100 people so everyone knew each other pretty much.

Well, honestly, here's the main reason I love CoD's "Snapping" controls over most other. In real life, your mind and body snap to a target. Identify your target, and hit it. If the controls seem easy, it's because war is easy. XD
By the way, Halo uses auto-aim too, they're just the best at masking it. Even worse, they've got "Magnetism".
The auto aim system locks onto targets as you strafe. That's kinda' lame to know.
And KoN's right, Black Ops is my current favorite shooter online. (Since Gears is too weird to count.)
Never heard of Tribes Prime. :O
iirc, Battlefield 2 was the last game I played to feature truly pure controls. Another reason I'm excited for Battlefield 3. :D
