"Console War- Why is the PS2 still leading the field?"

O.K. I know the PS2 is a bit more out of date than the Nintendo and Microsoft entries, but it is still holding fast as the U.K's number one console, so I need to know why you think PS2 has stayed top for so long.

Thank you FM and Likklesprog for something POSITIVE for a change.

hello. PS2 is the best because, well, it is. there's no explanation for it. PS1 was the first CD console, and the PS2 runs PS1 disks, and nother of the other consles can use their predecesors disks.

I like the idea of mines. No need to watch them, which allows you to watch your own 6 instead of having to rely on someone else to do it who stays there for about 2 seconds before running off into a hail of fire without telling you he'd disappeared

Can't wait till RS3 and Socom 2 arrive over here. Got an import version of socom 2 and its class.

Expect to spend a while with that one online.

Claymores I'm not sure, anti-personnel mines yes, you can chuck an M67 at them or shoot them, but you've got to spot them first, they're VERY hard to see, I've stepped on my own a few times...

Yea i've heard of those beauties. Haven't they made it so you can blow up claymores and mines now with say a grenade or whatever?

You should get SOCOM 2, you can then use anti-personel mines :)

Yea trouble is i'm usually on the Terrorist side so it's hard to get up there. I usually just hide behind a rock and hope people come my way for me to pop out and kill them.

Bloodlake is probably the only level where i leave my beloved claymores at home although i do have one round where i put some on the right side of the map on the Terrorist side so if anyone comes round the back hoping to free the hostages they get blown up.

Did I mention that SOCOM is a PS2 exclusive? Sure, XBox has that Geoffrey and Bungle game, but it's just... not... good ol' SOCOM :)
