Completely different. Worlds apart. Obviously it's 3rd person, which is different, but SOCOM is more of a slow, methodical teamwork game. I personally perfer the more run and gun/respawn type gameplay of the typical CoD4 games but everybody likes different things. My feeling right now is that they are trying to make it too 'realistic' and it's looses some of the fun.

Personally, I think CoD4 is a heck of a lot more fun. But, I can see how some might like a deeper team-work based game that tries to be a bit more realistic. Can't really comment on graphics since there's only 1 board available right now. They are not all that impressive but it's good enough, I'd say.

Also, I think the headset looks great, too. Might get it if I end up buying SOCOM. Otherwise, my Warhawk set is working just fine.

SOCOM is a press to talk game. There's proximity chat for folks right around you, but for your whole team to hear, you have to press L2. Just trying to give some more details.

SOCOM II for the ps2 had to be my most favorite shooter game of all time - I could literally play 24 hours straight... never had so much fun on a game. I was so hit or miss with it though... sometimes I'd take out their whole team in a round and the next round I'd suck it up so I was a captain on and off - would lose the ranking quite a bit. Clan battle were also intense. But I've always sucked at sniping.
