Looks rubbish.
* 5-player co-op: This makes me very happy!
* 32 player support in multiplayer
* Clan support for 128 members and Clan battles
* Four multiplayer modes: Suppression, Uplink, Last Defense, and a secret mode that will be announced at a later date. Uplink is Zipper’s take on Capture the Flag, and Last Defense will have players capturing and controlling points on the map. The first team to do so will earn a beacon which will show the location of the enemy’s base to be destroyed by an air-strike.
* Custom matches allows you to choose options such as weapon restrictions, cover, and the ability to revive teammates.
* Players will also be able to earn tactical strikes (GTFO) in most of the multiplayer modes if they perform certain tasks, and each mode has its own way of earning them. Suppression for example requires a kill streak to earn an airstrike, and holding down R2 unleashes the hurt on wherever you want it to be located. If you die before you are able to activate the air strike you lose it all together when you spawn.
* There will be rewards you can earn through tactical play. A reward called Guardian Angel for example gives you more XP if you are defending a teammate as they are achieving an objective.
* Socom 4 will feature custom play lists, and the Socom community can participate in the fun by giving their feedback for ranked rooms created by Zipper.
* Each weapon you take into battle will have a progression bar under it, and every time you level up in that weapon you unlock a mod.
* Team killers will be punished by being kicked out automatically if they kill their teammates too many times during a match.
* The “Arcade” mode allows you to re-spawn and use the cover system in multiplayer, or you can switch to classic which plays like old school Socom with no re-spawn, no cover system, no regenerating health, and chat being limited to only dead teammates.
SOCOM should be like this anyway?!!!!!
* Every maps supports all game modes and player counts, and preordering Socom 4 will get you an exclusive map called Abandoned which offers Suppression exclusively.
