 GamingWorld X - SOCOM 2: U.S. Navy SEALs Review
SOCOM 2 is home to a lot of night maps, some of them brand new, and others are nighttime variations of some of the old maps from the first game.
Ironically though, SOCOM 2, while fixing everything wrong with the first game, doesn’t do anything to really tread any new ground, almost as if the team dedicated themselves to getting right everything players felt was wrong with the first game, and then re-releasing the game with some updated features.
SOCOM 2 rocks; it’s just not the mammoth leap forward we were hoping for.

 Review: SOCOM 3: US Navy Seals
SOCOM 3 supports broadband connections, which allows the gameplay to unfold just as smoothly and with the same intensity as the solo games.
While SOCOM 3 doesn't stray too far from its established genre, what the game offers is a solid gameplay experience that effectively showcases the tactics and techniques used in real world missions and warfare.
SOCOM 3 has also implemented many improvements in the single player mode as well, with more elaborate cinemas and a deeper storyline used to create a cohesive experience.

 DailyGame Review: SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs [PS2]
SOCOM takes some of the best elements of shooters, mixes in a dash of stealth and a helping of innovation, and brings it all together into a fine squad-based shooter worthy of next-gen gamers.
There is one problem with SOCOM that prevents it from reaching perfection in the gameplay department, and that’s the overall AI in the game.
Your SEAL teammates can generally handle themselves pretty well, but in some situations they are just downright stupid, rushing into combat or slinking away from a firefight (that they’re in the middle of) in a hopeless attempt to make a stealthy knife attack.

 HKPRO:  The Mark 23 Mod 0 Pistol:  The SOCOM
I have not heard that this is the new unit that SOCOM adopted over the one made by Insight, but it appears to be the case.
The SOCOM pistol has reportedly met with tepid enthusiasm on the part of the operators it was ultimately issued to, due to its huge size.
One of the uncompromising attributes of the SOCOM pistol, however, is the extreme accuracy.

 SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo - Playstation Portable (PSP) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo for the PSP takes all of the action of Sony's second biggest first-party series and shrinks it down to portable size.
Like the full-size team in SOCOMs 1 and 2, the teammate here can be given a variety of instructions by the player, though not, sadly, simply by voice command, one of my favorite aspects of the original game.
The character control is similar to SOCOM, though everything had to be moved around to accommodate the lack of a second analog stick.

 SOCOM III Multiplayer Hands-On - Playstation 2 (PS2) Previews - The Armchair Empire
SOCOM III Multiplayer Hands-On With the success of the first two SOCOM games for the PS2, it would make only sense that Sony would release a third version.
SOCOM certainly has a large fan base and even more importantly, is one the key reasons why Sony’s network adapter became successful.
Unfortunately as time passed, the SOCOM II experience was hindered by dreadful online lag, increased stat padding (basically cheating), and a decent amount of glitches.

The original packaging for SOCOM was a cool oversized box that contained the game as well as a USB headset that you could use for speaking with opponents online and for issuing verbal orders to your virtual teammates when playing the game's single-player mode.
The only negative aspect of the first SOCOM was that the online mode turned out to be susceptible to cheat devices, which of course spoiled the online competition for many players.

 USMC-SOCOM connection, The Sea Power - Find Articles
SOCOM, founded in 1987, is composed of specialized units from the nation's other armed services-except the Marine Corps.
The initiative to promote a much closer working relationship between the Marine Corps and SOCOM is the result of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) signed in November 2001 by then-Commandant Gen. James L. Jones and Air Force Gen. Charles R. Holland, commander of the Special Operations Command.
The new focus on and respect for SOCOM is in sharp contrast to the years following World War II, when unconventional warriors enjoyed only episodic support from the nation's senior military leadership.

SOCOM rises above that largely because of the pacing, because if you get yourself into a 2-on-1 or worse situation, you'll be fighting the target lock and aim pretty badly trying to stay alive.

The SOCOM headset is actually one of the key gameplay features of the single-player mode.
The music and sound effects are great, and the SOCOM headset is crystal clear (in the single-player mode, at least -- Internet connection speeds, as well as the ISP itself, could interfere with the headset's communication and prevent you from chatting online altogether).
SOCOM's gameplay is so good, and the headset is so useful that it actually justifies the game's higher price tag.

The auto-aim feature has been carried over from the first SOCOM PSP game, but with revisions that move it from "Necessary Hardware Compromise" to "Creative Gameplay Element." Each weapon deals with auto-aim slightly differently: shotguns can't lock onto targets past a certain distance, pistols move to position more quickly than heavier weapons, and so on.
Some of these are simply foreign arms that the SOCOM team wouldn't have, but there are some wacky ones, as well.
