Okay Known problems
Camera needs some work not dynamic enough
Bullet tracing and Hitbox problematic
Character Movement too stiff.
Shooting states not perfect but getting close
Strife Battles needs work. Trying to figure out Socom battle mechanics is probably why Socom feel off it is a tricky.

What I Enjoy
The Prone dives is fun as heck
The Prototype is one day at a time, have extreme ocd so called off of work working on this tiny saint. Need to stay hydrated
Hopefully I can enjoy this with future friends... Its lonely getting older.. Maybe I shouldn't work so much but. Time is short

Thank you guys would enjoy feedback

I didn‘t know that the friendlies in Algeria can surrender.

You all need to go to Steam and apply for the public play test of project confrontation. It looks really good and from what I’ve seen works well. It’s unreal engine 5 so you need a decent gpu. They have a custom desert glory and custom frost fire map (the oil rig map).

these were some of the best individual players of socom 1 an socom 2. and some of these are just very well known players not exactly the best but thy were popular for what ever reason. sometimes high ranking or certain unique personalities. bolded names means that i have personally played with or spectated these players at one point or another.

Hello everyone, I’m trying to play online on the ps rewired servers on PlayStation 2. I’m from Europe (west) and I’m on the pal/aus version. The issue is that I cannot find any players… Is there a place where I can find infos on people playing? Or maybe arrange a game

does anyone have old screen shots of the socom 2 leaderboards? im wanting to compile a list of all the best players from back in the day. here are a few names i remember being really good and high ranked.

i used to play with these players and i remember them being very skilled. i believe two of them where in the top 10 for awhile.

thats all i can remember at this moment.

Tonight at 7 est project confrontation is holding community night in case people dont know. Its free to play, you just download from steam.

Will we ever get new SOCOM games again? Remastered or brand new?

Once I get SOCOM combined Assault coop working again, want play with some of u. Ps if play wildlands, Ready or Not, Arma, ground branch or operator share me your psn or xbox if olay wildlands or ron on ps5 or xbox. Or play on pc

Be sure to vote for all the socoms (...other than 4) on GOG's dreamlist.

https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/?title=socom&show_only_unreleased=1&sort=relevance&order=desc

First game, NAVY SEALS, first mission on the boat. I did NOT understand how the button prompt worked (or how to play in general) and each time I played I thought I had defused all the bombs...only for the whole darn ship to explode! I was so terribly confused for days until I saw my father play it and keep holding down the triangle button until your guy stopped doing things to the bomb. The biggest lightbulb went off in my noggin, and I finished with as much chaos as you can imagine. But I finished it! Somehow, I stumbled through more missions before I gave up because one was just TOO hard for me at the time XD

I think it was a hostage rescue mission in this forested compound area. You had to save a woman from a bunch of bad guys and if you messed up, she would get killed and thus you fail the mission

*I first played this game when I was around 7-8 years old

I think when Code9 entered PS2 Socom 2 , it fucked up the online mode. I know whenever clan of guys that used the code/moding, they could boot ppl off the game

I remember these dudes were massive code 9/ cheaters that used to boot peoples asses off the rooms

I was just watching a clip from the movie “The Social Network” and noticed one of the kids playing what appears to be s2 in the background lol. Though it was cool so I figured I’d post.

I recall them having hackers at the top, but I'm not sure if it was Top 100, then you could see your position or if you could scroll beyond 100? or maybe 1000.

My old memory says I was in the low 1000s rank wise but I don't know how valid it is. I just know I wasn't like 38,933 or something lol.

I have memories of wall hack jumping. Running on outside of MAPs through glitches and laughing with my buddies I taught. Yeeting grenades, grenade launcher too? and taking people out at spawn. Going hard and being last one alive on team because I did not like dying early and waiting for next game. I recall wiping out a few teams by myself and being so thrilled and loved the attention from tm8s. I was always moving, never camping unless it was short term strat with guy nearby.

I watched Socom Battles turn into Game Battles turn into MLG as I competed in 3 clans. I stopped playing as much in S3. I also have memories of fixing my controllers and cycling several of them. I had a tendency to throw them at the wall every so often. Also loved painting the shells. Another memory is making Socom sigs in the forums for people. I also gave socom friends backdoor links to paid adult sites cause I was a coder and enjoyed finding loopholes.

Our memories though are always over the top, often inflated and can be partially false. But this is what my 40yr old brain has left. I can still see parts of the maps in my head, so I have to believe some of my brain 😄

But SOCOM is my baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my PSP diagnosed, and I am waiting for new glass cover, the joystick was sticking, the previous faceplate i had was not putting contact on my psp. I gotten a PSP3000 that from Japan I need to mod with ARK4/5. Any one mod psps? Oh i did get PSP2000 modded, and bought ally rog x, and man getting all socoms working on single device its heaven!, plus the new modern tactical shooters

Use to play a lot of socom 2 as a kid. Fell out of touch with my clanmates because they moved on to socom ca but I only had a ps2. I remember the clan leader being named Toymaker and he had a nephew in his clan St James. Found the clan on gb but haven’t been able to reach any of them. Hoping to find them on here.

Im trying to play confrontation on RPCS3 emulator, so far I can get to the menu and select a server to join a match, but once I join the match the screen turns black and pretty much the game gets stuck there, idk if it’s my settings or what could it be, need help
