I didn't realize H-Hour had been released (early access) on steam for $9.99. The reviews are mixed, but I'm willing to shell out the $10 if it even brings back a bit of nostalgia. I think most of the negative are butt hurt ps4 owners still waiting and hoping for a port. They seemed to have taken the most popular socom maps and made almost identical ones for this game. I'll report back on how it plays.

The original SOCOM for PS2 was quite fun, online play and a headset. Of course my parents didn't have broadband so my headset was just used for the voice commands you could use for your squad in single player

Yeah its based off 1 and 2. H-Hour just needs more backing it seems. A lot of the work right now being done on it is volunteer work, which means there are people who want this thing done.

After a couple hours playing I can say as a huge Socom 1 & 2 fan I'd recommend this.

1.) Buy game
2.) Go to steam workshop and download all the 4 star maps. Which are remakes of oldies like crossroads, the desert one at night, the desert one in the day that you escort hostages on, and the jungle one with a couple others.

3.) choose the one sever that has players.

The only thing major this game lacks now is players it seems. The one server stayed decently full, but once you are in you are in.

Gun play is the same as well as the guns used. My last game was crossroads. I reunited with the M4A1 SD and that was all she wrote. Learning the map again was like riding a bike.

No fish hook yet but I think it's in the works. Taking a break but it's calling to me as I write this on the shitter. It is like your first teen love that you run into after having married years later. You chat a bit about old times and you have all the feels of fun memories. As you part ways she turns around and says " Hey, we should catch up sometime. " Your not sure what to think about it but you like it enough to take her up on her offer.

You go grab a coffee and she ask you about the other women you have been with. You tell her ohh there was Trisha after you. Trisha was a total slut, but she was super fun though, she reminded you of Modern Warfare. But not long into your fling she got a job with the govt creating super soldiers and you were not about the experiments she was running. So you left.

Then you met Brittney. She kind of reminded you of Battlefield. She was a beautiful. Everything about her was just great. You took flight in the sky and visited foreign lands. She had a broad outlook on life. You could also destroy her pussy anywhere. You married this one. But she started having dementia. She became a totally different person. She said she was a medic in WW1 and couldn't remember anything that made her so beautiful.

Your still married but now you are here in front of your teen love. You know your going to stay with your wife even if she thinks she is a WW1 medic, but now you want to frick you ex because the wife will never find out.

I tried it a few months ago and refunded.

They've added a lot more here recently but still have a long ways to go.

They're still looking for investors left and right, they were meeting with one at PAX but Idk if it'll ever happen.

What issues did you have?

Obviously it not where it needs to be, but today I felt like I was playing socom. Which is good enough for me.

There was no voice chat, only like 2 maps, very few players, quite a few glitches, etc.

It's been out since May, I tried it in probably June.

Hopefully they can find an investor and get where they want to go, but it seems unlikely anymore.

Damn the voice has been fixed and like I said there are quite a few oldie remakes. They need polishing up but the layout is all there.

Socom was my favorite but I preferred 3rd person view and strategy

Well this game gives you that. I feel the major thing this game lacks is players. I think a lot is been improved on since its release. I played more again last night and it feels like socom. If they keep adding old maps like fox hunt and the ughhh boat one I forget it's name then I'd be ecstatic. I think the release scared a lot of hype away but damn if there would be 50 players online everyday it would be worth it. The most I've seen so far is 20. All which play the server with the old maps and that lobby seems to stay around 7-16 players in it at a time. The minimum game you will find is. 3 v 4. Which on socom is still fun.

Played the shite out of S1 and S2. Clan was almost always top 10 on SB.com and eventually GB.com

Looking back, I am almost 10000% positive LiQ was ghosting with a third party voice chat system.
