SOCOM 2 online will never be forgotten. Truly the best online gaming experience I've ever had in 30 years.

The thing about SOCOM is it’s not just nostalgia. No other shooter has more satisfying gunfights. Fast strafe, reticle right over head instead of ots, no need to slow down and ADS to shoot, no sprint button just hold the stick etc. Game was fucking brilliant.

SOCOM is a series that will always hold a special place in my heart, SOCOM 2 especially.

Socom 2 was my first ever online game I ever played, I was completely blown away. It’s sad to see what happened to that franchise. Long live forever… Socom. Oh and before I go, GREEN UP!!

Being genuine here, I teared up a bit looking back at the golden days of gaming. Thank you Fry for the nostalgia.

I'm 40 now and the memories I have from socom are still here today. I met one of my best friends on socom and still talk to him on a daily basis to this day. What a awesome time to be alive .

Got my copy of socom 2 back in 2002 when I was working at Blockbuster. This game really changed my life. I havent got that feeling yet, 20 years later. Salute to all the socom Vets out there, alive or passed away.

This literally makes me want to weep a little bit. SOCOM was a huge part of my childhood gaming. I remember when I got it on my PSP-GO (Amazing device at the time, like holy shit.) I'd obviously played on console, but I remember the PSP version was just wildly amazing. Thanks for the nostalgia!

Damn I feel old now. I remember when my uncle bought Socom and let us play it with the headset that came with it. We thought it was the coolest thing ever. Socom 2 was probably the best multiplayer tactical shooter I've ever played on console and the lobbies were a trip lol. I don't think there will ever be another experience like it. Back then, if you saw a dude with a high rank you knew he was no joke lol

There was nothing better than knowing summer break was coming up and I could stay up late nights and play Socom. Made so many online friends from that game and quite honestly miss those days; everyone hopping on in the evening and playing until 2am, clan wars, game battles(and holding the crown)….excuse me as I go cry now.

I remember my dad owning 1 and 2 and playing them as a kid (I’m 23 next week so it shows how young I was) I got quite engaged in the franchise early even if it was only the single player. I eventually bought 3 and CA in the dying days of ps2 game sales when you could still get games in Walmart and even bought the 3 fireteam games for my psp. Never did get into confrontation as I went the Xbox route during that era but it is still to this day my favorite franchise in gaming. I still own all but 1&2 and occasionally go back and play them from time to time. My dream for this franchise is not so much a new development game but remasters of the old games. Would be great to see.

We are still playing SOCOM 2 in LAN mode every Thursday on our old PS2, 5 vs. 5, with the same friends for over the last 20 years. SOCOM has helped me make lifelong friends.

Socom changed my life forever also. The opening theme to Socom 2 gives me the chills. I would honestly cry if Sony ever would just do a Socom 2 Remake.

To this day, the best community online ever. Made so many friends from the first 2 games that I gamed with for YEARS. Miss it.

One of the best videos you ever put out, Fry. I remember Christmas 2001 like yesterday : inside of the Christmas tree was GTA 3, Jak and Daxter and Metal Gear Solid 2. My life changed instantly when I was only 9 years old.

I had almost the exact same story about getting into SOCOM. Older sister's friends would leave their ps2 and they all played SOCOM 2. I couldn't get enough around 11 years old.

I still remember when I was introduced to SOCOM. Only had a gamecube at the time but I use to go over to my cousins house and he had Broadband (Fast Access DSL) 😂I didn't even know what that meant at the time, but he started playing SOCOM 1 online telling me all these stories, epic moments, and people he met playing this game. Clan wars, the whole nine. Fast forward I beg my mom for a PS2 and broadband internet and we get it. I get SOCOM 2 probably close to a year before SOCOM 3 drops. SOCOM 2 till this day is probably my most memorable time of online gaming. People were nice, wanted to play and communicate with others, and just...... *POSITIVE* 🤣 Of course you ran into some ''toxic'' people but it was AT THAT TIME few and far between. People had decency and just wanted to play and get better. Met so many cool people my age, to grown men with families and a busy schedule but loved SOCOM and were VERY serious about the game. That moment in time to where online gaming was a new thing was truly magical and will never be touched again. Prime Socom & Halo are the greatest multiplayer shooters ever created imo. Great video... had me shed a single thug tear

I missed the boat on these... I was already in the army by 2003. Had my first deployment that year, infantry 11b. But when I came back? SOCOM was what changed my career path. I decided to change MOS, and the result? Over 20 years, I did Ranger, Recon, got out, went private, and somehow found myself in an outfit doing CSAR for various NGOs working in warzones. If not for games like SOCOM, along with Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and Metal Gear, I probably would've stayed a grunt or gotten out. Idk whether that's a good or bad thing though.

Keeping the dream alive the best we can. Maybe one day SOCOM will return to its former glory

I tear up just looking at gameplay. I invested in H-Hour and can only dream of a sequel or remaster. SOCOM will forever live on in my heart as the best game ever.

Back in the early 2000s my mother was a stay at home mom & the only game she’d play on PS3 was SOCOM Navy Seals Confrontation. I’d watch her play all the time.

I remember when i played Socom on PS2 as a Kid and OMG this game was AWESOME. I'm so happy to see you talking about this nearly forgotten Legend of many people.

dude, you just brought back so many memories man. I was there at beginning of SOCOM and was hooked. thank you for this, truly.

Didn’t even get past the ad and I already liked and subbed… Anyone who says “SOCOM changed my life..” is a kindred spirit. I can still remember walking into my friend’s dorm room from my room across the hall and seeing him “talking” to his PS2. He kinda explained the game, but without actually playing I couldn’t grasp what he was on about. I went to another friend’s room and he was playing too, but not the campaign, MULTIPLAYER!!! I got my ass handed to me for hours and literally dreamed about the game that night. I went and got a PS2 and an adapter and started playing, sometimes with friends, but mostly solo (because my confidence was trash). Anyway, by SOCOM II I was well into the top percentiles for almost every metric (however my grades suffered). If anyone here played A LOT (or did game battles, etc.) you may even know me (SEEDLESS from KBN clan). Anyway, long story short, it’s idk how many years later and I still have close personal relationships with my clan mates from way back then (I’m talking people in Ireland, England, Canada, Australia, the US and more). I’ve visited their homes and they mine, I’ve attended their kids’ graduations and even a wedding or two. We exchange holiday cards, look after one another and so on. Shit, I’ve even loaned money to more than one of them (not obscene amounts, but nothing petty like a couple hundred bucks either). We are ALL (even some of the kids who never got to play but still remember their parents blissed out on SOCRACK wax nostalgic) still reminisce about those years between SOCOM and Combined Assault (I’ll strongly believe that SOCOM II was and remains the greatest “tactical shooter” in the history of gaming, warts and all, but it all went to shit between III and the end of CA if I remember correctly). The game was far ahead of its time and nothing since has quite scratched that itch the way SOCOM did. I apologize for the lengthy comment, this topic is just extremely dear to me and I have been clamoring for a “reboot” of the franchise since 2014. I personally have $42,762.88 to invest in any studio willing to do the original work justice with their homage to the king. What I’m hoping is that there are enough hardcore fans of the franchise who, even if they don’t have capital to invest, would devote time and effort to the project. I truly believe that if a modern SOCOM dropped, it would be a massive success. We just need to find a studio that is capable of producing the same quality and attention to detail, hammer out licensing and legal with Sony (I know, fucking nightmare, but it’s worth a shot before I am dead) and the waiting (obviously there’s way more to it, but to get the shit off the ground that might do). I will consistently check back on this comment to see if there are any other SOCOMers out there.

Man, i remember buying this game and the Netwrok Adapter at the same time when it came out It was my first online playing experience. The game blew my mind. I remember, when you were the last person on the team. your team mates voted against you to warn you that there was an ennemy behind you. Suck great memories, it was good until the Codebreaker thing made the game almost unplayable because of hackers. Especially in SOCOM 1

God damn Big Fry, you got me right in the feels with this video. Socom 2 was my jam. I spent thousands of hours on there and loved every second of them.

Unfortunately I missed this game because my parents only had money for one system and I chose PC because most of my friends were playing on PC. We had Medal of Honor, BF1942 and CoD so I had my awesome childhood experience playing with them but man, this game looks absolutely insane, even today. Those animations are mind blowing, the features for stealth and such are awesome and the multiplayer looks and sounds fantastic. It's weird that I don't know you personally but seeing and hearing about your childhood with this game feels like I do know you. I guess this is what gaming is all about, we can connect through these experiences without actually knowing each other. Thanks for sharing this!

I nearly teared up a bit when you said MLG lol as I was a low ranked MLG player for about 2 years as a pre teen.. man those were the days, sometimes I fire up my old systems and just walk the old maps on different games and take in all the things I flew thru as a kid/teen.. Long Live Gamers!

Seeing this video gave me some serious nostalgia! Its crazy how gaming can bring so many people together. Its our lives and games like socom helped shape who we are today.

Same here brother. Socom Confrontation was my first online gaming experience and my first time joining a clan. That clan ending up being the reason I joined the Navy. So for real changed my life.

this was my first online shooter and i spent over 1000 hrs on it, i loved socom 2 and confrontation but especially s2... it's alittle crazy to me that it doesn't get more shine on youtube, it was THE game to play on ps2, if you were playing a different game online (tony hawks, timesplitters,burnout) any other online game, it was then socom2 where you met up with everyone afterwards. great video man

SOCOM changed my life for the better as well. Currently, I'm roommates with someone I met on S1. I've been roommates with 2 other people that I played SOCOM with, and basically became a part of their family. I will be the best man at one of their upcoming weddings. I've met about 20 people in real life from SOCOM. We would have SOCOM parties where people from Alabama, Idaho, Canada, and various parts of California would come together to meet up, play SOCOM with multiple TVs in the same room, and party. I've made lifelong important relationships because of that franchise and still game with the core members from our clan/group. SOCOM will always be my #1. I will never forget it. I appreciate this video you've made. On another note, It's sad that a 20 year old game had more features, customization, variety, maps, and sense of community and communication than anything we see today or most likely will ever see again.

You just brought back a ton of great memories. Socom 2 was where it all started for me as well. Used to go to my buddies house to play it and every minute was a blast. Community was awesome and the clan battles were super epic. Miss those days.

This brought me way back. Very similar feelings this video expressed couldent have said it better myself. I know its never gonna happen but a S1/S2 remaster is exactly what i need right now.

LOVED SOCOM 2! I remember being in this clan where all of our names were names of liqours. Seagrum's 7 reporting in. I used to get off duty, come home and play this for hours in my uniform. Did not care. Absolute best online experience ever. Even after you die, joining your teamates and stratagize about the next round. Making plans. Watch out for those spawn grenades!

Ya I grew up with this. Nostalgia hits hard. I still remember almost every map.

Oh man you touch such a sensative nerve deep down my heart. Same here BigFry...my very first Shooter was Socom 2. I played it every day back then. The ability to get a Mic and talk to your team mate was game changer. Clan truely had a meaning on this game. Clan Battle was huge and fun way to battle other clans. I was Proud or Mr clan aka Majority Rules we played Foxhunt all day every day. No other game had extraction mode that was such a pleasure to play. Oh remember the voting system to alert live players lol or to vote a random player out to make room for clan mate??? Such Nostalgia Best Game ever on PS2...sadly Sony wont remake it.

I was there since day 1 of SOCOM. The server crashed on the first day BTW. Beta tester for SOCOM II. Played every version including SOCOM 4. No game has ever replaced my love for this franchise.

My best friend who passed away & I would play this game every day after school until we were kicked off the internet. I wish I could share this video with him. People who never experience this game will never understand the impact of talking on a headset for the first time.

This is a great story to listen too. Always nice to see people being this passionate about a certain game and what it meant for them. I never got to play the socom games as I didn't own a console back then, I was a pc gamer, but I loved tactical games, I was jalous about the headset with speach commands tho, that sounded so awesome to me, Ghost Recon didn't have that sadly. I only got to experience Socom with Socom 4, but as said, that wasn't the same experience so even today I can't claim I experienced the socom games :(

Fun fact: the player made game mode Micheal Meyers started on confrontation. We use to play hide and seek all the time then one day the seeker played the Michael Meyers theme song when hunting us and since it was proxy mic we could hear him coming. It was amazing and scary and we did that all the time after that so I’m gonna say socom and the group I played with started Mike Meyers. You’re welcome 😊

When Socom 2 was in its heydey I could've never imagined a world where it would be completely GONE and forgotten (by Sony). It was SOOOO much fun, so many memories... You could play it 1000 times and have 1000 unique experiences. And playing it NEVER got old. How is it gone???

I started my online gaming with Socom 3, best gaming days of my life for sure. I played socom 2 but family was too poor at the time to get the network adapter. I’ll never forget those amazing days.

Its funny I picked up SOCOM 2 in a bargain bin at my local gamestop and completely fell in love with the series

That video of little BigFry was the most epic thing I've seen on the internet today.

There has never been anything like SOCOM NAVY SEALS. A game that actually judges you for your performance and penalizes you for your actions it's the best FPS series ever made .

This brought back a wave of emotions some of my best gaming memories with friends and family are from Socom....omg I love this game. Thank you for this video.

This was my game, made very strong bonds. Thanks bigfry dam near cried

My all time favorite games. I tell all my friends about how good these games were. Hopefully we see a new one someday.

Still play w guys I met playing socom 20yrs ago. Game changed lives and the scope of gaming. Great video

I loved this game and still have all my copies with my PS2. It was so advanced for the time and the single player is still fun today. Thanks for covering this.

Best game ever. Played socom 1 and 2 non stop, was the game that got my parents to upgrade to cable internet .

Archival BigFry footage intro?! Like the start of every true crime documentary. Also shoutout to Cum Master at 4:03😂

I feel the exact same thing. Receiving the adaptor + socom was absolutely mindblowing and opened my eyes a lot. Damn I miss this game. This was my first encounter with clans too. Socom and WoW is what discribes my entire childhood. Thank you for making a video about this.

The Socom series will have a place in my heart forever I'm thinking about getting me a PS2 this year just so I can have that game again

Ahhh Desert Glory, my most favorite map ever. I remember being a terrorist, and pulling the VIPs out of their cell, and then forcing them into the destructible corner of the room, then taking out my pistol and shooting them once each in the foot, just so that if the SEALS blew the wall it would kill the VIPs and give us the win lol. I miss this game! Sadly SOCOM 4 was ruined by having the cover mechanics put in and filled with clutter in order to be used as a gimmick for Sony to be able to sell the Move controllers and Sharpshooter attachment. Then the PSN hack finished the job.

This takes me back. I never played MP in these games since we never got the network adapter until Confrontation which wasn’t my first online MP experience, my first Online experience was actually Resistance 2, that game to me was and still is the golden standard for Online Coop. Was definitely disappointed to see what SOCOM 4 became. Never got it nor played it. That’s exactly what happens when you chase trends instead of staying true to what that game was. That ended up killing it. There’s another game series that I grew up on that did the same thing that same year, Ace Combat: Assualt HORIZEN. But thankfully unlike Zipper, Project Aces actually listened to their fans and did not continue with doing that after Assualt HORIZEN. They made Ace Combat Infinity which was a free to play game for PS3 that brought back the original gameplay I loved and I loved it. But due to the fact that it was a Free to Play game it had that awful Fuel system which I eventually couldn’t keep up with since I was in my first year of college at the time. I stopped playing after 3 months and later on would start playing destiny instead. That game ended up closing its servers on march 2018 then in January 18th 2019 Ace Combat 7 came out. It was a valiant return to form and returned to what made Ace Combat so good. I’m pretty sure they are hard at work on Ace Combat 8 as we speak. Which then brought renewed interest to that genre which is flight shooters, in 2020, we got Project Wingman which is an indie game. It plays just like AC but has things in it that actually made it better in some aspects. I hope that one day Socom will get the Spyro Reignited Trilogy treatment and get a Remade trilogy of the first 3 games. It would be a very nice change of pace and whiff of fresh air.

What made this game so special was the timing of online play and communication. Everyone was into it. Nowadays no one talks unless it’s obscenities or random music.

20 years later and I still haven’t played a multiplayer shooter that gave me the feeling Socom 2 did. Having to be able to move side to side while keeping the crosshair on the player took extreme skill. People that grew up playing COD have no idea what it’s like having to spend countless hours practicing and learning the maps and game modes. Great players really stood out on this game unlike now where the shooting is so easy everyone just blends in.

I was never around for the online portion of these games but I do attribute this series for my love of shooters. The campaign mode for SOCOM 1 had me addicted to it's stealth gameplay, teamwork and modern military setting. I could never really find another game besides Ghost Recon to satisfy that itch. The series took a nosedive but S1 - Combined Assault were my childhood.

I'll never forget playing SOCOM 2 back in the day. My brother got me into it when I was 6 years old. I used to play gamebattles with him and his older friends who were a part of a clan called US and a clan called Agents. My favorite game of all time.

I remember watching my dad play this game. This game was truly before its time. Socom 2 and Socom 3 will always have a special place in my heart.

SOCOM was my first online MP and I was addicted, I remember being on for practically 2 days straight. I enjoyed the PSP SOCOMS too. SOCOM games single handedly gave me long life friends. Zipper messed up with S4 we all knew it then... /6 Confrontation and the Artic DLC or whatever it was called was a nice touch but overall was an ok game, but I never quite got into as some of my other friends. There is so many ppl I miss from SOCOM. HeavensHell, LarryChachi, Gonzo_77, and loads more. Longshot but you never know who watches what on here. Honorable mention: SOCOM had good music for the game and even online lobbies did too (even if you did turn it down after sometime to socialize in pre-game lobby waiting to "G^") Man I miss the old vibe of the SOCOM community. Thanks for the nostalgia!

I remember freaking out the first time I heard comms over the headset that came bundled with the game. What a time to be alive! Those were the glory days

Very well said. SOCOM2 was a generational game. Current gen players will never realise how groundbreaking this game was, and still is. It blew me away in 2003, and twenty years later it blows me away even more. The arcade/sim gameplay, voice chat, map design, menu/lobby system, and OTS were masterpieces. It felt polished, premium, and unique. Twenty years later my Friends List mostly comprises of people I met on SOCOM2. We are strangers again now, and despite never playing together these days we exchange the odd message from time to time with the familiar report "...still waiting for SOCOM2...". At this point you have to wonder why Sony never re-invested in SOCOM2. I heard there were ownership issues regarding the codebase, but still.. Simply put, SOCOM2 puts every other multiplayer console game in the past twenty years to shame. Period.

The SOCOM series was allowed to fade away but the player base was brilliant back in the day……thanks for the clips and nostalgia Big Fry

Socom was amazing and my first online PvP experience. Snipe no X, Hide and seek and paintball were so fun to play.

My cousin had this game when it first came out. I too was 11 and my own 11-year-old brain was fascinated by the voice commands. For me at the time, it was the closest thing to a military simulator. My cousin and I played the shit out of it.

Socom 2 was my world. The last game I actually enjoyed playing online with others. The only game I've ever felt like I needed a mic.

Started playing Socom 2 online around 2007-2008 as a 10 year old and it sucked me in forever, I will never forget all the nights I fell asleep playing. Socom 2 and confrontation were the best times of my life for gaming. I hope one day it can redeem itself.

Hey BF, don't let SoCom turn into your white whale. Trust me, from experience, you will never re-capture that feeling from 2003. It was special, don't ever forget it and don't chase after it with blinders on. Thanks for sharing.

This game brought me back into gaming even though I never played online because I didn’t have the internet adapter for my ps2. I started with the Atari before I went to the nes then the saga genesis then I lost interest. It wasn’t till I tried doom that my interest was peaked then I found half life and counter strike the. I bought a ps2 and found SOCOM and I’ve been a hardcore gamer ever since. It will always be my favorite.

My dads friend (who was ranked top ten for a cpuple weeks at one point) made him get Socom 2 as well as the network adapter. He only ever played like 5 times. But i was all over this shit. It was the most fun Ive ever had online gaming.

This is still the best online game i've ever played. I was 26 when this game came out (I am 46 now). I met some very good friends (A few of which I still game nightly with to this very day) and the others we still remain in touch. What set Socom a part from online games of today. Was the (Large maybe for it's time) but small community. There were golden rules set that you just didn't do. 1. You never brought out Grenade launchers (Unless it was agreed upon) 2. You never used the OP weapon (The IW). 3. During Clan wars it was always both teams choose a map and the tie breaker map was always "Crossroads". That would never work in todays gaming. Nobody has any respect, the communitys are too large. Most games are designed to play for your stats and to unlock the next cool gun. Even in team based games EVERYBODY plays for themselves. It was a very special time, one I am proud to say I was apart of. ^ACO^ was our clan two time top eight in the Eseals tournament

My favourite game franchise, I was replaying them all recently actually. Also, just got an email, Taskforce released into early access for $8 AUD. It's hard to believe he actually released it...

Great video Fry, SOCOM is still one of the greatest online shooters. It has changed my life forever.. I will always chase the SoCrack feeling that SOCOM 2 gave us.

SOCOM 2 online was legit analog adrenaline. 6 grenades, 5 minutes to breach and plant the bomb, and none of that sissy COD slowing down to shoot crap. Your aim had to be good enough to hit them at full sprint as they shot back at you(also in full sprint mode). No radar either. Truly my favorite online experience.

OG Socomer here, thank you for making this video. PUBG is that game for me these days .

Socom was the first online game I ever played when ps2 came out, that game and socom 2 where amazing. Miss the tactics and just all the amazing people I met during those years.

I’m currently on a SOCOM nostalgia craving right now. I miss this game 😢

this generation of gaming really needs another good ol socom

The gaming love of my life This game series.... man. So many memories with me and my older brother and neighborhood friends.

This specific game has so much memories for me!!! I had broken three lumbar in my back and was laid up for quite a bit. SOCOM was literally all I did

Socom2 will always be my favorite game. I will meet you at the Crossroads

i spent so much time on 3. 16v16 was an improvement in the aspect that we got giant maps with endless cover and concealment. Made great use of those gillie suits!

I played this game a lot with my father when I was a kid, I'm in tears :')

The "seals victorious" hit such a nostalgia button in me - absolitely loved loved loved socom 2, best gaming period in my life. Amazing maps and gameplay.

No other military shooter has ever recaptured the enjoyment I had with SOCOM I & II… The clan matches on GameBattles were always epic. The competitive community we had on each server, Italia, East, West, Etc… Met some of the coolest people on SOCOM. @BigFryTV You definitely brought back some memories showing those clips of gamebattles. I was in +|Discriminated, [TW], & +\Underrated/+… I went by Neglect.

Socom 2 was legendary, Socom Confrontation was underrated. Great games! Glad to see this throwback 😌

This game was my life for a few years in high school.. still come back every few years to see if there's anything going on out there that could bring it back.

Absolute best shooter game ever. Good ole days on gamebattles. I was like 10 years old and was running a clan and actually made 1000 dollars at the time because I recruited a team and we signed up and won the tournament. Socom 2 had so many things that no games today can give you. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was the last game to come out that was relatively close to the same level of greatness. These games give you the freedom and ability to do so much with such authentic gameplay with no bs and straight tactical skill and teamwork. I am a huge battlefield fan... that game has of course been a struggle lately even though it is pretty good now finally. Another game today that is newer that does a good job coming close to the greatness that is Socom is Insurgency Sandstorm. It is a great experience but still not quite as great as Socom 2.

Long Live Socom! S2 is still the best online shooter I've played to this day! Still holding out hope we see a remake/remaster one day..

im feeling represented by your childhood, i was 9 in 2003 but i tripped with FPS tactical games and RPG's. i mean, my first FPS game was Medal of Honor PS1. Thank you this was refreshing and nostalgic

Socom 2 multiplayer was the most fun game i've ever played. What made it special is that every copy of the game came with a mic and headphones set. This made tactical gameplay possible. There's lots of ofther stuff that made it an amazing game

SOCOM is one of the greatest game series of all time.

Socom changed my life forever, too, dad bought it for me on a whim and we fell in love with the series. I still play through the whole series on the PS2

Me and 3 of my friends use to stay up late playing these kinds of games as kids. One of our favorite games was The Conflict Series. Everyone still talks about SOCOM and the OG Call of Duty as well but we found it pretty sad that literally nobody mentions the Conflict games. When PS3 came out we had profiles with the original character names as our gamer tags that we use to run lobbies with and some people caught the reference which was cool, clan name was CONF (short of Conflict). I was John Bradley and till this day I still have that account. I liked SOCOM, but never dived hard into it like Conflict. All the Conflict games Conflict: Desert Storm (2002) Conflict: Desert Storm II (2003) Conflict: Vietnam (2004) Conflict: Global Terror (2005; also called Conflict: Global Storm) Conflict: Denied Ops 2008 SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs (2002) SOCOM II U.S. Navy SEALs (2003) SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Combined Assault (2006) I believe those are the Socom's I've played but I know SOCOM had a huge list of games as they kept coming out back to back for years. We played a lot of military games, especially if it had CO-OP. Ghost Recon series was huge too.

Socom 1-2 is some of the best MP games ever made. I will never forget the first time I played it online, that was something special.

I had a headset for the voice commands in single player and they never worked but it came into play once I discovered online gaming. I had never conceived of gaming online before and one day when I was like 8-9 years old before we had wifi I plugged the Ethernet cable from the modem into my ps2 and within a few hours I learned what it was like to have an adult make fun of me for not having hit puberty yet. That was traumatic at the time but it hardened me against the verbal abuse I would receive gaming in the future so I have socom to thank for that. It got to a point where i was afraid to talk on the mic because on top of sucking at the game so much my internet was dog shit, so everyone always hated my guts and would constantly remind me how much I suck. I remember being told to stop playing many times and taking it extremely personally. It was stressful but addicting at the same time. This might sound weird but your video touched me man, I would love to hop on and play that game again now that I’ve hit puberty and lived through another decade and a half
