I loved the first Socom game, never played online, and haven't touched a Socom game since then. Last night I downloaded the Beta and played with some friends and for the most part it was really fun. Playing as the bomb diffuser feels good, as you are slower but you can take more hits. There were several moments were I was slowly creeping towards the bomb to try and end the match, and at the last second I would get smoked, being successful as the bomb diffuser could potentially feel very rewarding. I do have some other problems, and how much can be attributed to the game itself I am not sure. For instance the last round I got stuck on a team that had 3 people while the other team had 6, it made the match a damn massacre. I am hopefully gunna play more tonight.

Yeah, I am liking it as well. Never played the previous Socom games, so i didn't really know what to expect when i jumped into it. Nice variety of weapons to choose from, good looking graphics and fun gameplay. Cover system could be smoother, but otherwise i say thumbs up.

I'm really enjoying it, haven't played a socom since the ps2 days.

Yeah, I'm just not feeling it.

Nothing in particular, it's just not grabbing me. "

I like it, it's the first game I've played on the PS3 that I've thought, yea I could play a couple of matches of this quite regularly.  I like the progression system but it does discourage you from using new weapons as you won't have the upgrades you've got yourself with the old guns.  I like the mode I've played, they seem to work quite well with the gameplay encouraging a sort of back and forth push but spawn camping is a huge problem.
