My thoughts and impressions while jumping back into SOCOM II's online play after 20 years.
Here is the guide to playing SOCOM II online. If you already have a PS2, SOCOM II, and an ethernet adapter it's fairly easy: psrewired.com/...

I'm 35 now, and I remember being 13 with the first SOCOM and buying a network adapter off my neighbor. Figuring I how to install it, and figuring out what an ethernet cord was, and how pissed my family got when that was before we had a router and unplugging everyone's internet to selfishly play SOCOM online. I would stay up to ungodly hours when no one needed the internet just to binge this game. There was nothing like figuring out internet-based gaming for the first time making a successful connection.

@cycomiko73 4 ай бұрын

This was the first game I played online with my ps2 and that adapter my friend gave me bc I had an old ps2 and I was so glitched on it, playing for hours on end. I played so long and so late into the early morning that I was dozing off and kinda sleeping with the controller in my hands, sometimes waking up dead. Lol I can't stand online games anymore. I don't want to have to count on other people who I don't know to try and have a good time playing a game that coasts me $70 a pop!! I'm all about single player non online story driven, giant set pieces type games 👍 so much better by yourself!! Imo I'm 50 now but to be fair I never really enjoyed "multi-player online games" after a few years of trying it. Plus running around shooting other players for more than an hour gets so dumb and boring to me. 👍 but I'll always remember Socom2

Agreed, this game came with a cheap headset that changed everything for me. Today I am 44 and still play this type of game. lol Now I play Dayz on PC. Dayz is actually similar in style which is probably why I play it. Socom is still alive in both Arma and Dayz games!! GGs!!

I started playing Socom 2 when I was 15. I accidentally picked it up at Blockbuster when it was still around and I seen it had a mic on it when I brought her home so I had to go get a mic for it. That changed everything for me I was always bullied in school so it was an escape for me. Plus I miss the days coming home hearing frag out from the basement when my dad is playing while I was at school. I played sick days just to play the game. I miss those days I'm definitely buying another PlayStation two and the game.

Tbh, if you play this game trough emulator on PC you don't have any framerate issues at all. You can put your nades on quick 2 so if you press L2 you switch to your nades. Also, some adjustments have been made on emulator to make the game look a bit better. Just check out the vids I made on my channel. It's day and night

If you are emulator there is multiple things you can do to clean up frame rate and rendering etc… still best game ever made, no game comes close when it comes to getting fulfillment from using actual skill to win rounds. Nowadays it’s all aim assist and jumping all over the place.. socom has the best boots on the ground feel of any game I’ve played in the past 20 years and it’s not even close.

@koolkat8639 Ай бұрын

Id recommend looking into this game a bit more so you can have a better experience. fps will improve with "Map render fix" turned on , within game settings. Also, adjusting your sensitivity settings so your aim is a bit more calm. Keep in mind, that guy going 17-2 on fish hook plays almost everyday, so its expected. Lastly! be aware of common grenade hot spots at the beginning of the round. It's very frustrating dying at the start of every round and having to wait a full round to play again.

Right before match people would type messages teasing each other on the other team. There was also audio communication with push to talk microphones. Three seconds before the game would launch I would say these words and type them on the screen. CNN - BIN LADEN CAPTURED!!! When the game would start, I would tell my teammates that I was lying as a distraction tactic. We would run across the map and sometimes two or three players would be away from their controllers, checking a television for the news, or switching their monitor to television. And we would kill them. After the game. In the lobby, it was hilarious to hear people, yelling, and screaming at me for lying.!! Psychological warfare online!

I played socom 1 and socom 2 when I was a kid. Socom 3 got me hooked. It was the vehicles and big battle third person gameplay, convoy was innovative. Socom can come back but it has to be Battlefield 3rd person to succeed. They can do small game lobbies/maps and it can still work for those that want the classic type. I always seen every socom as an upgrade until it got downgraded from Socom 3 to Confrontation because it was trying to serve the Socom 2 players, same with Socom 4 (also trying to serve cod fans). When I was a kid I expected Socom 4 to add helicopters which would have been the next gameplay upgrade. Here's to Phase Line Raider Assault hopefully being successful.
