In a deathmatch/small map game, the socom is the best gun to carry, simply because it does the job.
Socom rocks the boat....Its true. But when you compare it to the LAW, Knife, and Chainsaw...(in terms of the One hit killz) you can see the reason why its so powerful.In a deathmatch/small map game, the socom is the best gun to carry, simply because it does the job. The socom is powerful, only because its better than the M79, or Barret.Tip: Carry a socom with any auto/Barret....If you miss a shot, whip out your ( Don't get dirty thoughts ) Socom, and blast his ass (hey, I made a rhyme!!). 2-3 shots garuntee that he won't get far....maybe pop him one again, just incase.
@Kryp -- go buy some skills. use /command to bring up the commands.
Why would you want to nerf a gun that is pretty much unused?Whatever, just because it's a sidearm doesn't mean it has to suck.
only slightly since the other secondaries are 1 hit kill.
its a lot easier to make 2 hits than 6, and its much easier to use a gun that fires a straight shot than the one that makes a curve
Quoteonly slightly since the other secondaries are 1 hit kill. no they aren't. saw is rapid fire. also, LAW has major registering problems (as well as a killer reload) and you have to collect your knife, which won't instant kill unless it's thrown hard from close up, or it's thrown from a long way above.
fair enough, but it's easier to lose. Socom is overpowered in normal and realistic modes and does not take six hits to kill in realistic, as excruciator suggested.

I did not say that to brag. at that time I never used ussocom because it wasmega overpowerd.
QuoteI did not say that to brag. at that time I never used ussocom because it wasmega overpowerd. I was referring to #38 claiming he could pwn either of us. I severely doubt that he could and he has nothing to back his noobish egotistic rantings up. @ #38: My sentences are perfectly structured, thank you very much. If you don't understand my post, go back to kindergarten. I see you're not just struggling to write structured sentences, you're failing to spell "what" and "you're" as well as being completely inept at use of grammar in general. I know I'm not a beta tester, does that mean that I should not question the balance? I am a player and it matters to me. If it does not matter to you, perhaps you shouldn't be here. I don't may not get killed often by socom, but I get killed less often with saws, knives and LAWs and after looking into it, the socom is actually superior to the deagles, whether people often utilize it or not.

As a deagle-user I do know that the SOCOM doesn't pack the same punch the deagles do. On the other hand it fires more often and can fire more, not to talk about the reloadtime which is much shorter than the deagles. This, however, does not make it superior.
Given this is supposed to be a secondary, the SOCOM may be unbalanced.

agreed, if all bullets from both parties hits, deagle would still win against socom
However, all the other secondaries are one-hit killers. I can kill someone much faster with one well-aimed knife than someone's who's trying to hunt me down with just a socom.
Try it some time. You're wrong, socom kills first, unless it is the distance is near the end of the socom's range, which, as I said, is not really a likely situation, a socom wielder will close range as fast as he can when facing deagles.
Also, it doesn't take much skill to dodge the majority of LAW shells, knives and saw maniacs.
QuoteHowever, all the other secondaries are one-hit killers. I can kill someone much faster with one well-aimed knife than someone's who's trying to hunt me down with just a socom. If you think that the chainsaw is a one hit killer, you shouldn't be posting here. Also, knife has start up time and low range, while LAW has a killer reload time and is really, really badly effected by non-registering explosions. Socom is in a higher tier than the other secondaries.Also, it doesn't take much skill to dodge the majority of LAW shells, knives and saw maniacs.
Every weapon can be affected by lag, it's just that the person getting chainsawed sometimes escapes between shots, but the increased firerate fixed that, but hits not registering are more common to it than the other weapons. Please don't insult me.
