God yes!

My brother and I used to play it every day! He was usually my only defender when I'd inevitably get accused of cheating. "Sorry dude, he doesn't need to cheat. You just suck." So many good times. Loved doing paintball and shotgun duels. Then I broke my headset and couldn't find another one. I drifted toward PC gaming and when they shut down the SOCOM 4 servers, my brother gave up gaming.

Both of us keep hoping they'll finally do a new one that has crossplay so we can team up again.

Heck yeah, I went to the launch party for it at the PlayStation Store in SF. They gave away these dog tag things.

My friends and I played this game so much using the PS2 network adapter thingy before moving to the Xbox for Halo 2 over Xbox Live.

I never actually played it, but I definitely remember it being one of the games that everyone at school was talking about.

I didn't have a PS2 to play it but I remember watching early versions of competitive gaming on g4 (or whatever it was before) where they'd play lan matches on TV. Was that x play?

Was this the one with the voice control headset? Never figured out how to make it work.

This one is the most memorable for me simply because it was the very first socom game for me and I loved the graphics and using commands. I never got a chance to experience the game using the headset, but it was such a great game. I need to play 3 and combined assault.

I didn't play that one but 3 and Combined Assault was good

This was the one that started you in Albania/elsewhere in the Balkans, right? I could never get past the third mission but I remember it being a blast
