SOCOM II KICKS DONKEY A$$!!!!!!!!!!
Be back tommorow morning at 7am.
Shadow Falls - Too many draws. Massive dark map played as 'supression'. The problem is if 1 person decides to go prone behind a tree root somewhere, chances are he'll never be spotted. I played this map for well over an hour with repeated draws. Got annoying despite being a really nice map. Would have been excellent if it had been an escort or plant the bomb map I think.
The Mixer - Biased towards the Seals. They just have to hide 1 VIP from the terrs to win. There are plenty of places to do this - pipes / dark corners etc. This would have been a great 'supression' map (eliminate all opposition).
Having said that - the game is still amazing. I love the new dark rat's nest and abandoned. I love the new weapons too.
I don't like the health bar thing - i thought they had the kill thing pretty much perfect in the first 1.
Ummmmm. BUY IT! It's great :D For 30 - 40 quid, I don't think you can get more fun.

I played this map for the first time yesterday, spent a while just running around the swamp before realising what had to be done. Managed to breach the fort and take out a few of the terrorists that were hiding in bushes before I was killed by a sniper.
Seems to be a lot more open maps with multiple ways of winning. Makes things a lot quicker.

There's a new map called Enowapi. The SEALs start in a swamp, surrounding a 100ft high mountain with a terrorist fort at the top which the SEALs have to climb up to, breach, then plant a bomb in to destroy it.
All the terrorists do is lob 24 M67's off the top of the fort onto the SEAL spawn spots and just left and right of them.
If that doesn't wipe the seals out in the first few seconds, the 32 anti-personnel mines that the terrorists can leave out for the survivors at the top of the mountain usually finishes the job. If the SEALs can't plant the bomb and destroy the base within the time limit they lose anyway.
And now that there are 6-shot grenade launchers available in the terrorist arsenal, they don't need to see you to be able to kill you any more :)
> Pffft, can just blow them up with grenades now Laker =D
Have to be able to see them to know they're there first, and well while you're throwing grenades i'll just rush you and kill you that way :-D
