I played in one particular room for about 2 hours at 10 AM this morning. It was a small based game, 4 on 4, but everyone had their mics on. When we weren't warning teammates about enemies around the corner, or of a sniper chillin next to the lion, we were having regular conversations. Before we knew it, 2 hours went by and a countless amount of games had been played. We won some, we lost some, we tried out different weapon set ups, and scope attachments. After I left that room, I went to others, including a crazy fun 16 on 16 matchup that left us screaming victory. From that, I can say:
Graphics: Indeed, an 8/10. It's not ugly at all, it's actually pretty good. The character models are clean, but its not MGS4
Sound: I'd give it a 10. The differences in where sound is helpful is just genius. I had the opportunity to play against a friend of mine, so when he killed a teammate that was nearby with a headshot out of nowhere, he started laughing into his mic, and I could hear him laughing(hearing the opposing team talk when you're nearby is good stuff menz) Also being able to know where theres a hot spot by the sound of gun fire helps teams group up better.
Gameplay: I'll give it a 9. The menu and room select got alot better from yesterday, but until they fix that load issue, it won't get a 10.
Sonarus, I have a theory about the success of this game. Already in confrontation you can hear the avid fans of Socom talking about how similar it is to 2, and how different it is, how well they know Crossroads and the like. With Socom's huge following, that alone is gauranteed a modest boost. But then there's the headset. Alone, the headset cost about 50 dollars. For 10 dollars more, you get Socom. Some people at my school are using that mentality for getting the game. They weren't too interested in socom, but in need of a new headset. The idea behind being able to get a game for only 10 bucks more (if they believe it as such) is a good deal in their eyes.
In any case, I'm gonna go back to play in abit, and i hope by tomorrow morning more stuff has been fixed.

Socom Impressions From People Who Have Actually Played It - 
. I haven't played it enough to pass fair judgement on the game but so far the game plays well. Its kind of wierd not holding L1 to aim though. My side stepping moves in MGO seem to be coming in handy and i am landing headshots pretty well too.
