SOCOM 4: How It's Both Newbie-Friendly and Faithful to the Veteran

I have a confession: before yesterday, I had never played a SOCOM game in my life. That's not to say I was never interested in the franchise, but for one reason or another I never got around to checking the series out. Perhaps that will change with the release of SOCOM 4, which according to developer Zipper Interactive, "redefines" the SOCOM experience -- but what exactly does that mean to a newcomer?

The SOCOM franchise is best known for its multiplayer, and that's still the case with SOCOM 4. There are nine maps available -- ranging from jungle bases to destroyed city highways-- that allow up to 32 players apiece. Some of the different gameplay types include Uplink (SOCOM's take on the Capture The Flag formula), Last Defense (which sees both sides fighting over three control points), and Suppression (your more typical team deathmatch), as well as a fourth mode that Zipper was not announcing at this time.
