So I picked this up about three weeks ago, not thinking it would be anything special. I've played FPS's. Never liked Halo, though I've liked Unreal Tournament and CoD4 so it was really up in the air about whether I'd like this or not. The single player was alright, but online is definitely where it's at with this game. I used to play Socom 1, 2, and 3 religiously but haven't touched them in ages. This game has pulled off everything Socom ever tried to and more. The built-in clan battle system is great, the rankings are accurate in relation to ability, and the variety of classes makes every game seem new. Not to mention that there's five or six different types of games, though I have only ever played team deathmatch.
Aside from ringing this game's bell over and over, who else plays online? I just got the Valor Cross trophy for being in the top 3% this week and I'm planning to be in the top 1% and get the Valor Grand Cross within the next two or three weeks. I vehemently use the Scout with Spot and Mark ability and 5x zoom lens on maps that allow it (Pyrrhus, Salamun, Helghan Industries, Corinth to some extent). Although I often get bored of sniping and switch to a Saboteur and C4 the crap out of everybody in Radec and Tharsis.
psn: scorpio1690 for anyone who wants to play.
Also, I play a 1300bp Vega on SFIV for anyone who's interested.
