This game is utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. DO not even download this garbage. I was a PEAK.53 Partner and a Tester for the second wave of testing for this game. The moment I started to speak up about the garbage ass updates that did NOTHING to improve the game, but only attributed stupid skins and maps that didnt even work, i got removed from partner; from there, speaking up about the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ devs that cant even build a proper game and asking for ACTUAL updates and improvements for the game, i was banned and removed from the discord and my key was revoked. The devs of this game created a previous failure of a game called XIO: Survival and stole all the funding from that community to create a new dev page and start this project and then ask for more funding without listening to any feedback from the community. FOUR and Hippypoppy are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke and deserve for this game to crash and burn. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME its utter garbagel.. If youre anything of a TRUE SOCOM fan you will see. They have completely changed the actual gameplay so its nothing like SOCOM and I have actually recorded proof of the Devs cheating and using their Admin menus to locate all players and activate wall cheats in order to win their own game. You have been warned and I cannot believe this game has mostly positive reviews.... oh wait yeah I can, theyre devs and BS brown nosers are the only ones with good reviews. How are those dedicated servers going? Or wait, are you still using your communities hardware and electricity in order to run "Dedicated P2P servers"??? FOUR youre a joke. EDIT: I downloaded the game to try it, Immediately got TK'd by the DEVELOPER and his YES MEN and kicked from the game. STILL GARBAGE. Chats buggy, the game is extremely foggy, and the maps are awful, bullet spray is horrible and the guns are also garbage. They 100% steal SOCOM assets and just charge the community for skins and maps that they take for free off the Workshop. Oh and FOUR, stop beating up on the community that sits here and supports you, maybe you should listen to HIPPYPOPPY
I gave the dev criticism for why suppression (whoever has most alive) defeats the purpose of demolition since it deincentivizes pushing to plant the bomb. He said it was because people would camp too long and had "2 hour long games". Which I'd assume we're going after socom style gamemodes, so you should have a limited amount of rounds. There is a time limit, so if it does drag out to everyone camping that's just sorta the nature of these games. Regardless this was his reasoning for adding suppression ontop of demolition. I explained with say a full squad I could (and we would) just get a single kill, camp, the same issue he's describing on a smaller scale would happen on a larger scale if people are coordinated often like his clan does when they have numbers and know they win by default and don't have to plant. So after this he starts berating me about my KDR lol, and just kept insulting more for the next 20ish minutes. Needless to say I wasn't upset or angry about it just disappointed. Yet another potential socom successor ruined by it's own devs. Seen it with other projects, and apparently that's how this is going to play out. Super disappointing to see a dev resort to just hurling insults after being criticized fairly about the absurdity in his reasoning, and adding suppression ontop of demo to stop camping... in a socom-ish game. Edit: Also worth noting I paid 30 dollars originally for this game like a year or so prior to it being released on steam. After reading some of the other reviews in regards to the devs making sexual comments on stream, I wish I knew about all of this prior. I never would have even tried playing this game again let alone getting some friends to hop on too. -------- (update) Edit2: In response to the dev's comment to clarify the context of this situation after this happened, I finished the match, hopped on Four's side, proceeded to team kill him. Half the team was unwilling to vote me out while he lost his ♥♥♥♥ in discord calling them stupid. Then the next match I go to team kill him again, they eventually vote me out. Uninstalled the game after that, yes I'm petty but let's be CLEAR about the timing of events. First: I told him suppression ontop of demolition is stupid (Didn't even ♥♥♥♥♥ about him and his clan exploiting it instead of just pushing with the bomb when someones rightfully camping their sight after their team dies). Second: He shuts down the criticism and starts insulting me. Third: After finishing that match on cross roads, I hop on his team TK his ass, repeatedly because hes ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lmao, half his team refused to kick me out (lol), then the next match he stacks his clan on one side so vote me out after I TK him again. So as long as we got our order of events correct, I'm fine with it being known I absolutely TK'd him after he started hurling insults because I in good faith, and in a nice way was telling him why his reasoning for suppression over demo was poor, and ruined the entire premise of demolition. After realizing he only cares about his own entertainment I told him it's a him issue if he doesn't wanna play against campers, maybe go design a respawn Call of Duty like game then. Also let's mention how I repeatedly told you it's not a good look to start insulting your player base when they give you an actual critique with reasoning about something with the game. You chose to continue insulting me, so I TK'd you for a couple of rounds until yall manage to stack, and vote kick me. Also for anyone who read through all of this. Apparently some of these P53/dev members were using a public cheat instead of focusing on stopping it. I didn't know about this prior to doing research on this game after the dev lost his ♥♥♥♥ when I criticized him. But yeah, so treats his player base like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ when they critique him in any capacity, makes sexual comments on stream (ur just a fkn weirdo for that seriously), and apparently used cheats on their own fkn game that someone made because they disliked the dev, instead of immediately focusing on stopping the hacks. LOL this game is an absolute ♥♥♥♥ show and I regret ever contributing to it in the past. Absolute insane, but again, uninstalled never will play again and this'll be my last interaction with you. Like I said in game, have fun playing amongst yourselves. (oh yeah, forgot to mention that person who apparently made cheats that you used, he confirmed some or at least one of you were using it. Maybe he's lying but why would he? I'll absolutely make sure at least in my review of this game people know about it, not that I really give a ♥♥♥♥ anymore. Just another nail in the coffin so to say lol)
This game has been released and re-released and is now in a worse state than it ever was before. It's garbage gameplay wise, controls are horrible, etc. For perspective on the game dev and their trials and tribulations just watch Big Fry's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vZ9HUwIOy4 Do no buy this and do not give this developer your money.
I don't get it: this game is in 'alpha' yet it's been up on steam for a couple of months and it's already stating it's in "Season 2". What's the point of the early access tag at this point? I loaded in to a server that claimed to have 9/16 players online, but I was the only one there and the game just cycled through rounds declaring me the winner. It didn't even have bots to fill the empty spaces. If it didn't take up 30GB I'd say give it a shot with some friends, but I think this one's DOA.
i brought the first version for 6 bucks. wasn't worth it. now they are charging 15$ guess it worked once so why not do it again for a quick buck. don't buy this. they will probably start over again and slap another price tag on their "new" product. The dev spent donated money that was intended for the game on his phone bill. xdxd.
Game was released as a BETA, Now it is an alpha. The people fixing the bugs are doing a decent job considering there are so many. On release: Wrong team wins round after Bomb explodes. Grenades didn't work or release from your hand.***WORSE NOW (cant see if you have any to throw now) Proximity walking could be heard from across the entire map and was extremely loud. ***CORRECTED There was no leaning/prone. ***SLIGHTLY IMPROVED Crashing was consistent. ***IMPROVED Servers were unnecessarily laggy. ***IMPROVED Character physically getting stuck or hung up on everything. *** POSSIBLY IMPROVED Collision on everything causing you to not be able to shoot out of any window or opening.***POSSIBLY IMPROVED Animation jump up on almost everything causing you to stop and die while in gun fights. "Gun up" function doesn't work consistently. Guns get stuck and you cant swap frequently with no way to do anything the entire round. CHAT doesn't even remotely work correctly. ***POSSIBLE IMPROVED. No VOICE mic. ***UNKNOWN STATUS Only one game mode, Poorly coded "suppression". Spawning in with no load out. Individual stats frequently getting reset due to bug. You could see and shoot through a lot of walls. ***POSSIBLY CORRECTED 9 or more players could join one side. Bulling from DEV clan P53 to brand new players. DEV P53 clan with ADMIN functions playing the game using them how ever they see fit. Sniping is mostly broken, bullets seem to clip collision in most situations. Socom maps not made to correct scale and spawn timing was off.***POSSIBLY IMPROVED Some servers not accurately displaying player count. Jump lean causing head shot hit detection issues. ***Side note for constructive criticism; Make simple maps, make all of the socom tie breakers(killingfields, xrds, ff, etc.) These maze maps you are creating are littered with collision. You should know if your own DEV P53 guys are asking the players "do you want to skip this", then your map is BAD! Not sure why you made maps that were designed to be one sided breach maps and expect it to be played with your version of suppression. ***Half the dev donors don't seem to have ever truly played Socom let alone GB for any socom title, and also have short mans complex when receiving criticism. ***The game gives me the distinct impression of a group of guys(P53) making something that they can control the outcome, everyone else is a pawn. *** I was constantly singled out by P53 clan members for my honest review, constant bully attempts and harassment. Which was egged on from the P53 members to other players to do the same. I was voted out of the room multiple times because of this and also team killed repeatedly. *** P53 clan members have administrative abilities. A complete conflict of interest. NOBODY that is actively playing this game should have any client admin rights, if DEV's want to play their game it should be on a regular account. Once a cheater always a cheater, don't expect us to believe you will never use your abilities in a negative way to regular players. Especially if you bully players in any manner or promote this conduct. To P53 SICK: To say its unheard of people abusing power is ignorant and I have played all the socom titles and many Gb matches. A lot of people are still playing confrontation/combined assault/2/3. NEW 12/30/23 THIS GAMES MANAGEMENT IS OUT OF CONTROL! 1) A DEV released or attempted to release PII of a player to everyone in lobby. Unknown how he got information from player's completely private account. 2) A DEV booted entire server on last round because he suspected a player of cheating, with no real proof. Then accused other people for helping when they asked him to post the proof. WHO EVER IS THE BOTTOM LINE AUTHORITY FOR THIS GAME NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, UNLESS THAT PERSON IS THE PROBLEM THEN IT TRULY IS TOO LATE FOR THIS GAME.
Buddy wanted me to try out a socom remake. Grabbed the game and waited for him to hop on. While waiting I hopped into the only server with roughly 7 players. After my first round and getting 5 kills xNilla started complaining about being suspect. Game 2 some other dude named akmomo started crying about cheating. The game has < 10 active players. I ended up hopping off before my buddy even logged in due to the allegations. They expect you to join a discord server and sit in chat to prove you aren't a bot . . . I cannot recommend this game in it's current state. Im burnt out of cod and was hoping to capture some nostalgia with this game but its got a small community with a gatekeeping problem. If they just want to play games amongst themselves they should host a private lobby or something.
This game is as bad as every other "Socom" like shooter game that has scammed donors every time. H-Hour was horrible but better than this game. Controllers don't work, lag is bad, function is bad, game is nothing like Socom. Lets face it boys, Socom is never coming back. Stop buying in to this snake oil every year. All we can hope for is when we die, Socom is up and running in Heaven!
Have spent 5 total minutes after downloading the game to actually play, and could not join a server, much less play a match. But the massively overpriced cosmetics work just fine.
Game is DOA. No servers and no players. Do not buy this game! Devs have seemed to abandoned this game, as last update was in Dec 2023. Graphics are CGA, and reminiscent of old Socom games... but that was like 20 years ago. No bots, so can't play alone. As stated game is DOA, do not buy... waste of money! Sad, because it was released only 6 months ago (review is from April 24, 2024.). Wish I had seen a post like mine before purchasing.
