No. All of these events happened off the same delivery.

No, not really.
More that it's not just a party, you have less control over the battle - ie. air strikes.
Not just infantry etc...

No. Cos you've already hit it into the stands.

Well then clearly you didn't get bat to ball and the chances of you hitting a six are very limited.
> Huh?
Indeed.

You mean like the Conflict Desert Storm games, Halo, Shadow Ops, SOCOM, SOCOM 2 etc?
To me, both SOCOM games were a case of "nice idea but crap". Cheaters wrecked the first game online, second one didn't improve much at all plus I just find the whole PS2 online system clunky and slow compared to Live.
Killzone will be good.
Who cares if it's better than Halo 2?
Does it really matter as long as it's fun to play? Hell, SoF2 sucks, but I love it online. Whooo...
Knives.

Socom 1 was saved by it's online play. The one player game was horrible with god awful AI but the online was very fun and enjoyable (until the idiot foriegners and cheaters decided to invade the UK server)
Socom 2 though was both horrible online and single player :-D
