  • i love this game

  • 5 bucks at gamestop :D

  • @GGradilla

    are you serious. hold shit! this will be a great weekend. (=

  • you can only do multiplayer in this game and there's no campaign, that's what really bugs me plus you CANNOT respawn once you die!!!!! it sucks! i give this game a 5.5/10 !

  • wow Resident evil operation raccoon gameplay wait it looks the same hahahahah FLOP

  • this is better than 4.

  • The reason you're booted is because you're from IGN.

  • these graphics suck

  • Lagswitchers are Annoying in every game

    There's no end to it.

    SOCOM 4 is all that they care about. This game is now done and will be left to die out sooner or later

  • if u have a 50.cal u can easily shoot through a wall

  • Isnt there a singleplayer mode?

  • @vuur150 not only is the game online only but u only get like 6 maps and 3 of em are from socom 1.. they didint release dlc til 1 year pass by, tell me thats not some fucked up shit?

  • I havent watched this yet but is the game worth it for 40 bucks?

  • dude getting bootd and stuff doesnt happen anymore hey patched all that stuff.if you wanna get better get yourself a good clan.

  • @TheVioletMassacre01 socom confront is a total failure,slant six pretty much sold us a broken and incomplete game and every patch broke it more,i was a hardcore socom fan with a passion,this was a slap in the face,i quit ps3 cuz of this.

  • i hate when your kicked for no reason and like im a noob at this game and i cant get better because i just got this game like two days ago so is there any tips i can get from anyone please

  • I just think it's funny how everyone on Conf was saying how they couldn't wait for zipper's SC4 and now that SC4 is out, everyone hates it. I personally think SC4 is fun but it's the least 'socom' of the socoms.

  • @wslx0195 socom 4 is not what socom was,zipper just wants to make cod or something,fucking asholes,glad i quit b4 i throw money away.

  • is this good coz i need a new game

  • new updates made it better

  • I used to own this game, I had no problems with it. It's a solid game!

  • This game still sucks. They deserver the score they got.

  • Confron use to suck.,.... they have worked alot of kinks out now... It plays like a socom game now!

  • well now it is a great game to play cause of the patchs that fixs the errors and all that shit

  • Hey, fanboys, the game you thought you were good at fucking sucks, get over it.

  • @skytop082 It was a piece of crap when it was released, so no IGN isnt IGNorant this time!

  • @cssskin and00123

    I'm not very good :)

  • Do people still play this?

  • @scoutGOW I do.

  • @scoutGOW As with myself, PSN crashed for weeks though? I've been playing this game since 4:30 am Sunday

  • does anyone play this game still

  • This game looks pretty shit.

  • @9cloudersprofile Have you even played Killzone 3 you xbot idiot? The gameplay is off the hook and even better than black ops! I don't troll on halo videos and call that trash even though I am ps3 fanboy because I respect that game unlike you idiot!

  • @crashpal hell yeah killzone 3 owns halo and gears of war there's nothing like blowing the head off a helghast to make you feel relaxed

  • @sugargliderpal202 so true

  • Same thing happened with Blackops on PS3 it was crap at first, now it works fine same will happen with this im sure. Lesson here wait a few weeks before buying games, cheaper and fixed bugs.

  • OH MY GOD! First Killzone 3 and now Socom! Man IGN PS3 staff should NEVER EVER review PS3 shooters EVER again. I bet they will give Resistance 3 a 6.0 when it comes out while they give Call of Duty 2012 9.0. Socom NEVER relied on storytelling you ign buffoons! Haven't you ign buffons played the PS2 Socom games? They never had a story because they wanted to focus on both offline and online multiplayer. Does it matter that five men go Rambo where only three are controlled?

  • @crashpal Killzone 3 is trash in gameplay fagget

  • @9cloudersprofile not it isn't why dont fuck up with your opinion cuz no 1 cares

  • @crashpal this game sucked. When a game is released, its suppose to be playable. This game would freeze, crash, kick me out of everygame, had lots of glitches and half the shit on the cover that they advertised wasnt in the game, it was unplayable. Its good that they released patches after, but the game shouldve been good in the first place. Take Socom 4 for example, it might not be a good game for some people, but it doesnt lag, doesnt have too many glitches and doesnt kick people out.

  • @crashpal Maybe they give these games bad reviews because they think there shit(which they are lol) its a review,there opinion of the game and obviously they thought it was bad.

  • socom sucks balls...always has.

  • @cheesealtar

    go back to wii fag

  • SOCOM fanboys, just wait for SOCOM 4 to come out. That looks like a FAR superior game, in about every aspect.

  • Even with the bugs fixed, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this game, whatsoever.

  • wtf this isnt a review u were telling us how bad the servers suck and how it shouldnt have been released......................­.fuck ign

  • @schaffanator12 Well yeah, that's how you review a bad online game.

  • Shuld i get this

  • @phatboyprod Yes! As long as your not a little kid because Socom has the most roughest players online. You might wanna just save your money for number 4 coming out in April 19

  • Socom confrontation is beast i just got it 2 weeks ago and im not having any problems with it and the servers are always full def recommend this game

  • IDK why but... i'm a socom fan since Socom 2, and even if Confrontation isn't as good as the previous title, I want to play this game like right now. It's the only Socom on next-gen consoles, and now it's patched and it's working really well... Socom 4 look like the tactical aspect of Socom is now a secondary thing... it turned a bit like a CoD rip-off with a TPS view

  • Is this multiplayer only? R is there a campaign

  • @bubbles4buttons Multiplayer only.

  • @bubbles4buttons theres campain 2

  • i love this socom play it all day 

  • nah, s2 and s1 were the best. s3 and ca were good too,but confrontation ruined it.

  • You cant spell IGNorance without IGN

  • @skytop082 this time you are the ignorant one. socom confrontation sucks so much cock. Slant six not only have no idea on how to make a socom game, they don't know how to make any game for that matter.

  • @slayermate07 Compared to SOCOM 4, this game is decent.

  • @skytop082 by decent you mean lagging all over the place and the character you control have an inability to throw a bloody grenade when you lean left. Grenade explosions does not harm, invisible walls around desert glory, and lacking an adequate system to even invite someone to game. Although i dislike Socom 4 as much as the next true socom fan,at least it is a functional game albeit a generic one that is not even socom, it, at least has a system that better than that slant six shit.

  • @slayermate07 Its been patched for the most part. Unlike SOCOM 4, without all the bugs there is actually glimpses of a solid game, SOCOM 4 doesn't have too many bugs, but the core game is just trash.

  • @slayermate07 if you think that 4 is better than confrontation then your not a real socom fan, yea when it came out it sucked but the game is fine now, socom 4 is a 3rd person dumbed down call of duty and every real socom fan knows that, please if you dont know what your talking about then dont talk at all

  • @skytop082 tht is true, but hes right. this game sucks

  • @skytop082 socom confrontation did suck if you actually like it then you never played socom 1 and 2

  • @skytop082 Blametruth?

  • @skytop082 This review is completely accurate.

  • @skytop082 ignorance is your new best friend!

  • Ps3 sucks ass

  • @9cloudersprofile halo faggot that has nothing to do except troll on game consoles

  • @9cloudersprofile jealous much

  • @9cloudersprofile you are such a troll dude stop it

  • Why cause of one game, stfu troll

  • For some reason my socom game has terrible graphics, idk if its the game or my ps3, cause it looks terrible graphic wise.

  • its patched and playable now

  • zipper allows hackers to bully gamers in the psp socom games.

  • Socom Confrotation was and still is just plain shit. Long instal, glitches, lag, hackers and thier are some shitty people who play this game, are only a few problems. If anyone wants a copy of this shit pm me and we'll work somthing out.

  • I actually like the game a lot.

  • this game is so shitty i rather spend my time smashing my head against a wall

  • gotta say from the ign reviews i seen they kinda took it soft on confrontation. hope socom4 is great

  • @Lance03020 That part of what makes this review method of theirs unreliable. They add in factors such as network status and connection issue into play when those are issues easily fixed. They should have only touched on what gameplay they could get at the time and gave what WARNING about the lag problems. The only excuse they could give is that it was early in the new generation and console gaming was new to the whole "patching" fad that most games go by now, but they didn't.

  • i just got this game with my Ps3 after playing on the 360 for years and the game is underrated. I've had a blast playing it so far. i'm guessing the game had many problems when it first came out but i haven't ran into many problems involving lag etc.

  • RIP, SOCOM one of the best times in my life... Next gen just wasn't meant to be.

  • how many people still play this?

  • @TheBroheimer a lot

  • this game is good, but its so rare to find a match, ive had this game for almost a month and i have only been in 3 matches.

  • @xxxCODExxx1 What are you talking about?

  • @marty13612 its hard to find a match in the game, when i pick a certain game mode it takes forever to find someone, and when i do they either leave or just kick me out.

  • @xxxCODExxx1 I really dont know what you are talking about. I find games easily, and I guess you are right sometimes I get voted, but still I have literarly no problem finding a game. Are you using match making?

  • @marty13612 yea i use quick match, i always have to use "any game mode" in order to find a match and i hate that mode because it always picks team elimination and since i just started everyone votes me out most of the time because i'm the lowest rank and it really irritates me that i can get kicked out of any games just because a couple of douchebags think that i'm not good and it effects how i rank up, and its almost impossible for me to do a ranked match because it just keeps looking for hours

  • @xxxCODExxx1 Well don't use quickmatch. Much easier to join manually in the "Briefing Room"

  • /6 butchered an amazing series. SOCOM 4 doesn't look to good either. R.I.P. SOCOM.

  • I got this game from my friend in a trade 2 weeks before chrismas. he had it since it first came out. since I've been playing, I haven't had it freeze or lag once. it's a very fun game and I'm glade I traded for it!

  • were they expecting it to never get patched? its socom! lol

  • This game has now the best graphics and it's finnaly playable I like this game some much but when u come to lag switets or glitchers it sucks so watch out( add me3 acounts Sam-Lagh, Sam123611, and Sam-Lagh-_-

  • should i buy this game anyone reply im a huge fan of socom :)

  • @james65508 sure its only $10 at gamestop....

  • @socomaster i forgot is it for the ps3 or ps2 :)

  • @james65508

    Socom 1= PS2

    Socom 2= PS2

    Socom 3= PS2

    Socom CA= PS2

    Socom Confrontation= PS3

    Socom FTB= PSP

    Socom FTB 2= PSP

    Socom Tactical Strike= PSP

    Socom FTB 3= PSP

  • @socomaster you forgot socom 4 :) ps3 coming out soon

  • @james65508 Ah very true how could i forget!! xD

  • @socomaster socom 4 ps3 (2011)

  • SO F***** TRUE

  • socom 4 is gonna suck, since they emphasize it so much on the ps move.. lets hope i am wrong.. right now im just gonna wait for ghost recon.. 

  • When the game came out it did kinda suck i thought i got ripped off but after a while it got fixed most glitches and other technical problems have been fixed...

  • its updated! Only good players can do well in this game, for me it owns every shooter out there

  • isnt a baD game now, still my number 1 tactical shooter, but the new one is wow :)

  • is this online only

  • IGN dosent understand... these reviews were fine in the past. but ONLINE games CONSTANTLY CHANGE. and need constant review. IE trophys are in game now. Or new levels... glitches fixed etc. Please like this if you think ign should do more reviews of online games well at least popular ones.

  • @Biscuits898989 They did say but for now so that does mean they know that.

  • @Biscuits898989 is this game better now like r the glitches gone?

  • @MHappyglobal Ye this game has gone bad now, wayyyyy to many glitchers

  • @Biscuits898989 i agree with you in this case, but not in all cases. zipper is they only team ive seen who actively change and fix their games after release. same thing happened to mag.

  • @Biscuits898989 This review was based in 2008 when the game first came out. And while you are correct in saying that the game has had bugs fixed there are still the same core problems now as there were in 2008. the game to this day STILL freezes requiring a hard reset. the game still has major lag and frame rate issues. The fact is they fixed some minor issues but kept a lot of the core ones and in the process of fixing them actually managed to create more issues.

  • @sodaiznice yes true Confrontation does have program issues but its still true to socom's core and socom 2 had problems like randomly booting people in the middle of a match so thats nothing new.

  • @Biscuits898989 that is bullshit, there is absolutely no excuse to release a buggy/broken game, reviewers qualifiy a game as they get it, if a developer cant make a solid game on launch day then too bad they are getting a bad review and flagged as they mediocre developers they are

  • @Biscuits898989

    The reviewer clearly stated that the glitches may change in the future via some patch. But the review was made during 2008 and near the release. The game should have been more solid.

  • @Biscuits898989 It doesnt matter if they added patches to fix the game. When you go to a game shop and buy a game for $60 with your hard earned money, your expecting a game that you can play, even if its not good, it shouldnt have any bugs. When I first got Socom Confrontation, it would kick me out every game, my PS3 would freeze, there would be glitches everywhere, and so many other bad things. They kept releasing patches for the next year, but I moved on, look at Socom 4, no bugs on release.

  • i personally liked this game

  • @SnowAura1337 uhh.. k

  • @SnowAura1337 what did they even rate it? doesnt show in the video

  • graphics isnt everything...

  • i like it

  • Respond to this video...  thanks now i won't get it tomorow

  • @skexee this video was made at least 2 years ago. They patched has been patched long time ago and there aren't this many bugs in it anymore. Basically, DISREGARD everything said in this entire video.

  • after patch 1.5 the game was pretty good imo. but yeah before that this game was complete garbage. i still play once in a while, but it's nothing compared to socom 1 and 2. the funny thing is after two years the game still isn't completely fixed. there are still a lot of problems with it.

  • hahahahah sucks but is great!!! nice combination xD

  • i hav this game....its very bad...i suggest u dont get it....if u wanna get a realistic game, get battlefield bad company 2...plus theres a new download for it called vietnam which kicks ass

  • @metalwaffle94 is it already out the vietnam dlc?

  • Socom 2 & Combined Assault are the best and most addicting games ever created! I think I prefer CA the most because it is faster paced, more options available, and the graphics are a tad bit superior especially when it comes to draw distance! Socom 2 had all that darn fog which hindered your ability to see that far! Compare Crossroads on S2 & CA! The actual graphics are a little better on S2's when viewing individual objects, but you can see from one end to the other on the CA version! CA=BEST!!

  • @Scanman22 socom2=best 

  • thanks a lot i kinda wanted this game but not really can anyone recomend something

  • LOL, this game is probably BY FAR the PS3's worst example of online play.

  • this was the worst Socom game i have ever played Socom 4 had best be better than this fail and im a long time socom fan played from Socom 1-Confrontation

  • Instead of saying you need to take a dump, you might as well say you need to take a socom confrontation because this game is crap and I can't tell you how many times I've had to reboot the ps3 because of the game freezing everything up.

  • david hasselfhoff get the fuck outa here, sick of ur youtube commercial

  • Waste of money

  • Still impossible to connect to a game!!

  • i have to disagree with this review. the gane is good with all the patches on it, but the only thing missing is an online campaign..

  • it is OK.. Mag is 3x better

  • i notice this video was made 2 years ago, have they fixed it since then? cause i was about to buy it on PSN but i don't wanna waste my money if it still sucks.

  • @badfish42092 yeah apparently its working fine now. don't take my word for it though. 

  • @lukus69 i bought red faction guerilla instead anyway xD

  • thir game would be better . if they did somethin about all the dam laggers and glitchers.

  • socom is better on ps2

  • fuck this review this is good with the updates and patches they fixed now. i got this game a month ago and i haven't had any of the problems this guy said. dont play game just because some robot says he didn't like try the game out dats the only way u would kno if u like it dont listen to this robot.

  • @Pedrotucompa with or without the updates this game is still broken if you go to a quick match everybody leaves its so hard and boring to erase your invites you take for ever its a terrible game and its not socom its shit

  • Vote for s2 HD!

  • "These guys know what fans like in thier game, and it shows..."

    Bull fucking shit

  • @iCHARRLZ

    This, sir, is for you. watch?v=oJpn4Ud5HWM#t=0m32s

  • fuck socom 4 zipper already killed it

    vote for socom 2 HD!

  • @GhostsLeader definatly

  • Listen people, and listen well- THE GAME HAS BEEN FIXED! The lag and server issues that plagued the game before are no longer apparent. all the issues mentioned in this review were just connection problems which are easy fixes. Personally, I would have said that IGN is an unreliable source for reviews and don't trust them, but these were real problems at the begining. They have be fixed however, and you play the game, problem free now.

  • @AzureSkieth While what you are saying may be true don't be calling IGN unreliable you are posting your comment in August of 2010 and this review was posted all the way back in November of '08 you know that time before IPads so don't be making absurd claims that have no support in you knew they were fixed in October of '08 state that in your comment or else people will start thinkin' of the names to call this "douche."

  • @AzureSkieth finaly somebody who knows

  • Can you aim down the sights on this game?

  • Fuck this game vote for socom 2 HD please

  • @silentdomie FUCK THIS GAME INDEED AND FUCK IT HARD!!!! AND FUCK ZIPPER COS THEY MAKING A FUCKED UP S4 socom 4 us uncharted resident evil navy seals -_-

  • I can't wait 4 socom 4

  • @MvSly14 socom 4 is gonna suk balls rnt u listening to the podcasts>>?

  • i love socom!!!!

  • Do people still play this? I'm looking for cheap games & this is only 20 or so.

  • @Blueforce707 i do

  • @Blueforce707 dude i just picked it up used for 5 bucks! My buddy had been playing it for quite some time and told me to grab it and we'll play together so I've been playing a couple days now and it's pretty fun.. something new and refreshing. not like mw2 that shit is boring as balls now.

  • its awesome now !

  • I'm about to buy a PS3 and barlyfound out of SOCOM Confrontation, just wondering if anyone can give me a head ups on it. I know SOCOM has been getting better on PS2 since I been playing it for a good while. Socom 1 was good, than they improved on SOCOM 2 graphics characters, than SOCOM 3 came out and got even better, more action, way better graphics, more access to military tanks,boats,etc, always played online on all 3. Did they really improve more on socom confrontation??? Latez EDOG2000

  • @edogincali No Confrontation downgraded in everyway. Just wait for Socom 4 (PS3) when it releases in March.

  • Lol.. To be honest. Ign can't play this game for anything. That guy that teleported had a lag switch. Two. Their aim si so far off I could stand still and kill him with a 226.. And 3 since all the patches the game is pretty stable. In my opinion you can play this game now and have fun.

  • Hey I'm thinking about getting this game but I need opinions about the online multiplayer. I liked Zipper's MAG and I'm looking into this game. Just a few things to know, I'm willing to get owned the first couple of months playing this game, I am a die hard fan of tactical shooters, I'm very competitive, and I don't give a flying fuck on graphics. No biased opinions please, I'm really looking to get this game.

  • Im planning on to test the game out

  • @fulerguy get it MAG blows socom is better

  • I only played Socom ftb1,2,3 so i can't really give my opion on this game.

  • expurience

  • is there any story mode in this game

  • @emmet34 no there is not on this one only online

  • When I bought this game for $65.00 dollars and gamecrazy I was expecting because it was for the ps3, an improved game over socom3 which hand vehicles,

    tanks,etc. but comfrontation ended up being a piece a shit from day one and failed me.
