The graphics don't look as great as Crysis on the highest settings, although you can get them to look really nice if you download this thingy that lets you change tons of options, it even lets you add smooth mouse, I mean seriously, what game doesn't give you the option these days! D: But yeah, everything on highest, it still looks shit hot, and yeah the gameplay really has been simplified, and they've dumbed down the AI so bloody much it's unreal... oh well, I only play the multiplayer anyway, I can't get into the story, it's dragging on forever and ever and I'm so bored of it, lol...
Anyways what am I playing?
Since yesterday I've been playing the Socom 4 Beta (Or as it's being called here in EU: Socom Special Forces, which sounds gay as fuck!) and honestly, it's one of the best shooters I've ever played, and there's a game mode called Bomb Squad, which is the best thing ever, just imagine playing The Hurt Locker... except only one person on your team is in the suit. How it plays is:
At the start of a round, one player from one of the teams is selected to be the guy in the suit, he has pros and cons:
Pros: Increased health and defense, has a grenade launcher and an automatic shotgun (Similar to the one from The Expendables)
Cons: He moves slower than everyone else and only he can plant and defuse bombs (It's one or the other, not sure if each team gets a bomb dude...) (Not sure if this is a good or bad thing)
And the aim of the game is to protect the bomb guy until he's planted/defused all three bombs before the match ends, and if he dies, then it assigns someone else on the team as the bomb guy, so there's always a bomb guy (Or it might be two, really not sure if each team gets one, I'd assume so) in play. Some people don't like this since in the old Socom games, once you died, you were dead until the end of the round, whereas on here you respawn, but there's "Classic" gametypes, pretty much the same thing except no respawns, so that'll keep people happy too.
Here's a picture of the guy in the suit
