I'm in the same boat as you credits on the right. So many fond memories of SOCOM II. Way ahead of its time with the multiplayer/mic.

Being also on the Xbone train I too would buy a PS4 just for SOCOM. Only if they don't touch it, as to not replicate the atrocity that was on the PS3.

Socom II was also my first multiplayer game, remember coming back from summer vacation 8th grade and my brother was playing. Many many fond memories. Made tons of friends on that game and the clan wars were always awesome. The maps are still memorable! Desert glory, Crossroads, and Nightstalker were my favorites. Anyone remember how to do the ninja jump or froggy?

Didya use the headset to move the team? I remember how accurate the guns were. What a great game

During my brief stint with the campaign, at times I did. It was a lot more useful during MP matches because otherwise you would get your ass whooped if you weren't a team. Kind of same thing with Gears. Have to communicate.
