    People, please remember that a decade is 10 years. It lasts longer than from '07 to '10. 
     
    I think a classic should be GOTD, not a new fad that will go out of style. That's just me though.

    Good game, but far from the greatest game of the decade.

    No, even though there's still one more year in this decade, Bully is the game of the decade.

    @zombie2011: I played SOCOM II before Confrontation was created, and I actually loved SOCOM 3. 
     
    Either way, I disagree with your opinion.

    And I would assume P4 would be your GOTD?

    Honestly, the only military-themed game that is remotely deserving of the GOTD title is Navy SEALs: Weapons of Mass Destruction. How anyone else could possibly disagree is beyond me.

    But not as sweet as a good game of Suppression with friends on Desert Glory, Night Hours, Blood Lake... 
     
    O.K, do I really need to name all of the maps? EVERY map in this game was the best map I have seen in a video game.

    I don't think a game mostly focused on multiplayer really has what it means to be "the game of the decade". 
     A game of the decade would be a game that history can look back at and be able to find meaning and entertainment in.

    SOCOM II was not only a huge game, but it was a very important one that brought about the gaming we take part in today.  Remember that back when SOCOM II came out, online gaming with consoles wasn't that big.  The SOCOM franchise, and SOCOM II specifically, happened to bring about big ideas that helped pave the way for so many games that we have today. 
     
    So recognize, muthafuckas!!! 
     
    I would be fine with SOCOM II being GOTD.  However, I personally think that there are too many games to pick from, and that no honest answer is more correct than the other.

    I'm wondering if Bungie ever took any inspiration from this at all or just made their own thing...

    I feel like most of the groundwork for the popular online shooter was mapped out on the pc years before, then it was just a case of getting the controller to play ball, matchmaking etc.
