Socom 4 Special forces is a squad based third person shooter...
Socom games are usually only online.. but with socom 4 a single player campaign has been introduced..
They have improved the game allot and the single player player is really fun..
The online is lag free and smooth with 32 players on screen..
The trophies this time around arent easy.. just because it has no hard online trophies doesnt mean it will be easy...
Iam sure many people with little patience wont be able to complete socom on elite...
MY RATING 8/10
Socom 4 is a good game.. way beter than confrontation..
With the new SP campaign and smooth online gameplay socom is a must buy for all socom fans...
The gameplay with the squad system and weapon loadout is nice..
If only the game had better graphics and a different story line than the usual..(5 americans owning everyone) then i would of rated this game a 9

Trophy Review
This game consists of 45 trophies which vary between easy and hard... The online trophies are easy on the other hand.. Most of the trophies are story related and the rest are collection and killing related which wil come normaly...
Start the game on easy or normal and just complete the game... use a guide for the intel and orange collection
After that go back and collect or kill what u missed... and again use a guide if u missed anything...
When all of that is done jump online and finish a mission on coop.. (randoms will do) then play a game of every type... and you are done..
When you have cleaned up everything.. change the game difficulty to elite and start from chapter 1...
this is going to be hell... do not under estimate ELITE its not like any other game...
TIPS below..
The hardest trophies would be:
Complete the Story Campaign on Elite difficulty.
ELITE mode is not easy and i repeat if you think this game is easy bec it only has SP then think again..
Taking cover and trying to throw a grenade by just "throwing it out of cover" can get you killed..you heard me.. thats how fast you can die on elite mode.. Trying to aim out of cover and kill an enemy could get you killed too before going back to cover... yes i know.. its unfair and i think the devs didnt test the game on ELITE.. because it looks unbalanced to me...
Enemies take loads of hits to die... unless head shoted..
Enemies come to you.. they dont take cover.. they just rush to you and kill you
If you think cod wow is bad or cod classic then think again !
but since you are a trophy hunter you have to shut up and finish it ;p
anyways..
TIPS:
My favourite loadout
Machine gun with good accuracy (100 ammo mag is beter than 20~30
Sniper with high dmg and accuracy ( for ranged kills 3X zoom)
grenades
C4 ( if enemies get close)
When you start make sure you play differently ... you have to use your squad more efficiently..
Also try to drag the fight back instead of going forward.. try to lure the enemy.. let them come to you.. defensive play is always stronger than offensive...
The only hard parts where the level where you had 5 mins to escape.. that was actualy escaping hell... The level where you defend the launcher and the final level ... those 3 levels where very hard...
Unless you are good with headshots you wont finish this... headshots+ squad tactics are highly recommended..
Make use of left and right commands on enemies..(click right or left so your teammates focus on it)
Also make use of the start button to see where the enemies are on the map...
Goodluck !
note: all difficulty and time figures are based on my skills and my opinion after playing the game
All Socom games have had single player campaigns on the PS2. I'm guessing you didn't play many, if any, PS2 games.
ReplyDeleteps3 only ;p
ReplyDeletegreat review and great tips, you must have the patience of a saint to get through these games on max difficulty
ReplyDeletePSN is down :s
ReplyDeleteI got all of SP done in 20hrs of gameplay, I now just need the PSN up to get the platinum. I wouldnt say the Elite was too difficult as you had your Ai team to help out. Putting them into strategic places and ordering them in does the job. Always order the yellow team to take out snipers and RPGs, using the Blue team as a left and right hand for yourself. When defending targets always place the yellow team behind the blue team as I found Chung likes to fall incipacitate alot :P
ReplyDeleteyour an idiot who knows nothing of the franchise.
ReplyDeleteSocom has always had as single player mode and online mode with the exception of confrontation. Socom4 is not a Socom game. It's a watered down COD game that has moved away from it's roots as the #1 tactical shooter. Not shooter...but tactical shooter. There is a difference. You may like S4 as a game but to any true Socom vet, this is not a Socom game anymore in the tradition already established in the other games. Also the graphics are actually good. Also if you think the squad features in the single player are good then you are delusional. You give orders to your team by pointing with your controller and using left, right d pad buttons.???? As opposed to using a headset to issue voice commands that gave a more realistic experience and way more commands to use my team. You either haven't played the other Socoms, are an idiot or both.
u should of brought a stick with you so you could beat me with it too ~_~....
