SOCOM 4

[Dirty_Walter]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This thread is intended to be a "simple" one stop spot for hardcore and casual fans alike to view all Socom 4 info as it comes out, all in one place. I will keep it updated with links to all Socom 4 News, previews, Screen shots, Videos, and Interviews that come about from now until launch. I'm shooting for keeping this very basic but informative without any of my personal opinions in the original post. But if I missed anything important, please feel free to let me know so that I can add it. Any feedback, tips, and help appreciated!

Screen Shots

                             Meet Your Squad

Cullen Gray ("OpsCom")
Force: NATO ISF
Age: 36

Leading the charge is Operations Commander, Cullen Gray. Born the son of a naval analyst and a civilian geologist, Cullen Gray’s service record is the stuff of legends. While renowned for quickly and quietly resolving some of NATO’s most tenuous situations, psychologically his profile is still something of a mystery. Routine profiling shows that he is withdrawn and cynical, choosing to socialize little with colleagues and showing a distinct lack of empathy for those unwilling to comply with his directives.

Park Yoon-Hee ("Forty-Five")
Force: South Korean 707th Special Missions Battalion
Age: 30

Park Yoon-Hee got her start in the Southern Korean 707th Special Mission Battalion. Within eighteen months she was attached to the 45th Special Forces Brigade after the Korean military relaxed restrictions for female officers, allowing them to serve on active duty abroad. In addition to her quick thinking under pressure, Park is an expert in covert operations, CQB and has considerable experience working in hostile environments.

Dion Wells
Force: U.S. Navy SEALs
Age: 34

Dion Wells is a Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy SEALs, where he specializes in security operations, explosives and HALO. Despite his laid-back demeanor and patience noted in personnel reports, Wells has a solid combat history and is highly regarded for his ability to assist commanding officers with unit direction and tactics in the field. Self-considered as a “right hand man”, CPO Wells has established a strong affiliation with OpsCom over the course of several operations.

Eric Schweitzer
Force: U.S. Navy SEALs
Age: 30

Eric Schweitzer grew up in a reclusive Western Pennsylvanian community, and records indicate a long and troubled journey through several schools. Eric was accepted into the SEALs just three years after being recruited into the Navy as an EOD technician. Cynical and highly vocal, Schweitzer is nevertheless a competent operative, allowing teammates to overlook his attitude in most cases. Generally deployed as a Heavy Weapons Operator, Schweitzer is in his element when combat is at its most intense.

Chung Kwan
Force: South Korean 707th Special Missions Battalion
Age: 25

After a short career in the KNP’s S.W.A.T division as an electronics countermeasure specialist, Chung entered the Korean Armed Forces at the age of 23. Honed by his police experience, Chung brings considerable tactical and analytical skills to his work. Commended for his abilities as a forward observer, Chung was given an opportunity to join the 45th SF Bridgade in their task to provide reconnaissance and technical skills for allied operations.

SOCOM 4 looks good, graphically the game looks awesome. I love the destructable environments and the blood looked awesome. Love the fact they will have jungle maps aswell. Can't wait till the Multiplayer details pour out.

[footballrule]

Nice thread! Hope thi can get stickled.

[zReFLecT]

I'm becoming increasingly optimistic about this game. There are a few things I'd like to get cleared up, but overall it's a better direction than Confrontation took. And hey, that can't be bad.

Im not to sure that the environments will be "really" distructable... Its not gonna be like battlefield bad company or anything. Probably just more trash bags and propane tanks and stuff...
