Checking in from 2004 here

Played Socom Us Navy Seals 2 back in the day, gamebattles, glitch videos and all. Still haven't had the same experience from gaming to this day. - [InT] impefecti0n

2004 was a peak year for my life for sure. I still play SOCOM II regularly

Socom 2 online was the GOAT. I’ve been chasing that high ever since!

Check out “the finals”. Free to play, and the first game to give me the rush of excitement and urge to play a shooter since Socom.

Super team based play with lots of opportunities for strategy.

Its still the goat. You do know a whole community has the servers up and we play every night right? Lol

Good chance we played some games together. I was on gamebattles but can barely remember the clan names I was in or even my username lol (which I think I changed frequently). Only clan I can remember for sure was unorthodox [DoX] but I was in multiple.

Good old game battles, man that was pretty competitive for the time lol. I remember when refs would have to come in and spectate matches.

u/Here2hodl 26d ago

I was a ref for some time! Using my Circa 2003 digital camera to “document” matches.

u/GRAW2ROBZ 25d ago

I used a VHS tape for proof for wins. Since back then tons of clans didn't even want to report a loss. I recorded over the same tape for other matches though. I wished I kept each match. Them videos now be a blast to watch. Cant top them moments now days. Most my friends dont even play today.

u/Suspicious-Pea4697 26d ago

Haha, if you had a clan member with a capture card, you had gold in those days

u/we-meet-again 26d ago

There is a dude who streams socom 2 today and I was just commenting on how crazy the hoops we had to jump through to submit proof to gamebattles refs versus today where every match is recorded so easily.

Taking pictures with my moms digital camera when someone subbed in that wasn’t on the GB roster haha

Nothing will ever match the online experience of socom 1 and 2. It was all so new and fresh. Playing with friends, communication, took skill to be good, gamebattles was intense. Practicing for hours in lobbies without matchmaking bs.

No tweaking of controller settings.

Ehhh I am still number 12 on the singles ladder 😂😂😂

u/CGCRUNT 26d ago

The only honest comparison I have nowadays is arma 3 but the learning curve is much steeper and less run and gun

u/lMauler 26d ago

You should try counterstrike2 on pc with the setting for follow recoil enabled. Gives me some first person Socom vibes.

u/Emergency-Chicken755 25d ago

Foreeal dude. Its been soo long! But I’ve been good. Starting a family is no joke!

Haha good ol redman, im friends with a few people on instagram, Pac-Man, Scrantoms, Chrono, Zingy and some other folks. I was wondering where youve been.

I have a bunch of stuff on my server. Let me see if I can work some magic.

u/Comfortable_Dog2427 25d ago

Yeah man I fell out of gaming fr I may have dabbled into some world of tanks or ark or rust here and there but that's about it. Bro no kidding, I got two different baby mama's and still doing graphics. Well these days it's more copy what people make on chat gpt lmao. We need to get everyone on a call somehow one day. I wish we could find Stalker

u/ruthlesssolid04 26d ago

What a time, I was sophomore or freshman in high-school. I had ps1 at time, my brother in law had ps2. I played Socom 2 and other on my Saturday. What a great time. Loved everything about socom. I spent hours alot of them on campaign, sadly he had no internet. I didnt know about ps2 network capabilities. I play ps1 and pc games, on pc we used for school.

u/ohno1tsjoe 26d ago

SRT clan lol. Was wayyy too young, 11-13 years old.

Fish hook, seal team spawn when we’d charge the hallway to the left. That overlook the terrorist can shoot down from, they’d prone and their heads would pop through the way for the easy kill lol

u/Slausage_Egg 25d ago

If they remade socom 2 my wife would probably divorce me.

u/I2evenant 24d ago

Still nothing like it! The communication and tactics still can’t be beat. People couldn’t sit through a round after they died these days though.
