Dude I've literally teared up watching this. SOCOM is one of the best game series of all time IMO, and arguably one of the very best shooters ever made. I'd give anything for a new SOCOM game. Or even just a remaster, I'd settle for that. This game series deserved so much more..
Dude I did more than tear up, Socom was the best part of growing up.. Nostalgia is waaay more powerful than drugs... I been desperately waiting for a reboot/remaster. When socom left Playstation so did I. Xbox has been my home since. But if socom is playable again I will shelf my xbox for this
@@toxicmoldmedia With over 4,000 hours on CS myself - I would agree with you, except: You're comparing 1st person to 3rd. Which are totally and completely different game styles. And you're comparing PC to Console. Which isn't a huge deal, but still very relevant in this case. SOCOM was beyond cutting edge at the time. It's concepts and gameplay design were decades ahead of it's time. Literally right now, with Gray Zone, Tarkov, even DayZ, we're seeing very strong SOCOM influence, except it's literal poo compared to the full SOCOM experience. It feels like games today are just breaking the ice on concepts that SOCOM had nearly perfected 20 years ago.
Sony NEEDS to bring this series back. I’d LOVE to see a modern socom game with a dev team that embraces the socom community, adds in some good competitive aspects, load it up with a ton of detail and such. Give me like, insurgency sansdstom type detail
This was one of the most love it or hate it games in the socom series, I personally loved this game almost as much as the original. After all the bugs were fixed I didn't play any other online games for a long time. Hearing that startup music just teleports me back to my bedroom at moms house on my 26" TV. Amazing 👏
Are you playing with my feelings? I just looked this up and to see what happened since I heard it shut off years ago and came across this. If this is true I’m going to buy a PS3 again because I missed this game
Its true! I bought a PS3 again 2 days ago and got Confrontation hooked up. It works great! Very easy set up process as well thankfully. Anybody can set it up!
I put soooo many hours into this game, and Socom 3. This is so refreshing compared to the COD style online shooters of today. Sure Socom was a slower pace, but it was so much more satisfying, it gave you a reason to communicate, you didn't respawn right after you died! Oh so many good good memories.
Mannn I miss this game. Even now years later, still the best online tps imo. Soo many hours I had on that game. Socom 4 multiplayer didn't even come close to delivering the experience confrontation did. Wish you could play it on pc.
this was the first game I ever worked on, and frostfire was the first map I made, happy to see it again and getting some love so many years later! good memories :D
Wtf!!! I can't believe you are playing Socom right now dude!!!!! This is fkn amazing!!! My favorite game ever. Hands down!!! I have a ps3 in the closet. I have to get this shit!!!!!
Back in the day this is what made me get into online gaming, playing S3/CA and S:Con was fun as hell....I was too late to S1 and 2...but I still had the most fun on this one, GB ladders were lit like 600+ teams with rosters. Miss those days man. I played under SuRge., MeTTaLLiC, and WaVeS-
I can't believe I trow this game away. I thought it was finished. Best time of my gaming life. I wanna buy a ps3 and this game again ASAP. 2 trophies to platinum 😅
Holy shit my childhood! I need this back! I remember my old clan SFH (Soldiers for hire). Would be nice to speak with any of the guys again. Good times.
I was addicted to socom 2/4/confrontation I was so sick at this game too So many memories Sadly most of the ppl I was in a clan with have passed away I miss this series
I held onto my ps3 and game for so many years hoping it would come back some day, I can't say how happy I am to play it again, my ps4 hasn't been touched in a month now
So glad there are still so many fans. What an underrated game. Best years of my life socom 2 and confrontation. Would love to see it come back 4k, easy to download for everyone. I liked a mix of seasoned players and noobs to crush. The stats really got me going, 2 and 1 was everything to me. Cheekyslap
How the pros played back then and kill people quickly: Full black outfit for maps without snow Full white outfit for snow maps All lightweight armor Grenades Highest sensitivity 552 or M4A1 with suppressor 3 Run-jump with grenades in hand at the beginning of match for max speed to reach certain spots
If I ever get a copy of this game, I'm gonna create my own team, the Commando Elite, named after the antagonistic soldiers that everyone loves from the movie Small Soldiers.
I think the most promising thing about this revive is that Sony may look at reviving this game even further! I honestly cannot wait to get my ps3 plugged in and running scon asap.
Damn I can't believe they are reviving So many PS3 game's!!! Socom and Ghost recon advance warfighter are so nostalgic 😢. I played Ghost recon advance warfighter 2 online in it's final moments before it got shut down on xbox 360 and got lucky enough to record the gameplay and upload it on RUclips.
Maybe I’m crazy but aside from the shitty 30 FPS, I feel like the gfx and art direction are amazing. Game has such a uniquely gritty feel. And gameplay wise, nothing fucks with SOCOM gunfights.
i used to play this game all the time with friends, it was amazing! Id love for this game to be remade with the same mechanics and everything just remade in unreal engine 5 for better graphics
Been waiting for it to leave open beta, and for some more of my friends to get their asses on this game again!!! I'll be hooking my PS3 up soon, the ps5 can wait:). Thanks to SNAKE + all who got Socom back for us while we STILL wait for Sony to bring it back already with a new or remastered game....
Hey, if you guys are still out there, i miss y'all. i miss the battles. My name has never changed. i hope we are still here for a remaster so we can all link up again. my FU3 Crew.
I bought another PS3 and Confrontation last year to play it again. Not many people use mics though. I might even stream it. Since I have a capture card and a channel now. But it's not the same playing Socom without friends or a clan.
If only PlayStation had legit backwards compatibility support for PS4/PS5 like how Xbox does with their current gen consoles for their previous gen games. Really is ashame how Sony kicked their old legacy Multiplayer shooters like SOCOM to the dirt.
YES! SOCOM is what started the whole online gaming world for me and so many others. I have been saying for the past few years that someone needs to bring back SOCOM. remastered or new, lets hope they keep it the same!
i might pick up a ps3 because of this. I never played SOCOM online before. I only ever played the single player (online gaming wasn't something i was really aware of back then) and it looks interesting
I'm crying. I am about to be 25. I played socom confrontation with my dad. That game made me lol! I always wished I could show me playing this game. Fuck it I'mma go get a ps3. I've always told people about it and they just shut me down with Call Of Duty. I have been dying to play a ranked room again. God I'm so happy. I'm crying tears of joys! . Can someone give me advice on how to go about streaming?
Wow my favourite Socom game I was terrible at it but I had lots of fun with my old clan. I was disappointed with Socom 4 would love to see Socom Confrontation 2 released.
Im more interested in the MAG revival thats being worked on, along with PSN emulation. There's apparently a specific server protocol that sony used for its games and once reverse engineered will unlock a large selection of games for online play.
Oh my God all it needs is the graphics and I would be happy with this game in this game alone I miss confrontation and I'm happy it's back they just need to update itself to PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 with graphics... A remake is a necessity

Dude I've literally teared up watching this.
SOCOM is one of the best game series of all time IMO, and arguably one of the very best shooters ever made.
I'd give anything for a new SOCOM game. Or even just a remaster, I'd settle for that.
This game series deserved so much more..
I would definitely settle for remastered for ps5
Dude I did more than tear up, Socom was the best part of growing up.. Nostalgia is waaay more powerful than drugs... I been desperately waiting for a reboot/remaster. When socom left Playstation so did I. Xbox has been my home since. But if socom is playable again I will shelf my xbox for this
I cried even harder once I downloaded it!!!
Best shooters ever made? CS 1.6 tops everything ever made.

This was my favorite shooter game series of all time. This and the OG ghost recon games were amazing
Ghost recon on the 360 was amazing I had this SOCOM confrontation with the gun PSmove controller SOCOM was ahead of its time in 2008
I miss socom so bad...was the best!!
It IS the best. Come on back, brother. it's as fun as ever!!!
Comeback to the game bro. It’s such a great game and community
@@u0425090 are the servers back up and running on PlayStation??
@@Dusty96 it is. I’m jumping on now ☺️
PS2 serveres are up
It amazes me that Sony don't just turn the survers on and update this game for the ps5
Doesnt work like that bud
@@chriss7869 why not
Sony is shitting for ps3
@@chriss7869 Care to explain?
@@gangstalkingcanada5920 🤐
I want a remaster of SOCOM and Conflict Desert Storm 😫
Holy shit you gave me a nostalgia trip with conflict desert storm
YOU FUKN SAID IT
DESERT STORM GOAT
Conflict Vietnam everyone?
Agreed, to both of those.
Holy shit the memories. Spent hundreds of hours on the game
Sony NEEDS to bring this series back. I’d LOVE to see a modern socom game with a dev team that embraces the socom community, adds in some good competitive aspects, load it up with a ton of detail and such. Give me like, insurgency sansdstom type detail
Snake the SOCOM Legend!! Amazing to see he has brought SOCOM Confrontation back to life!! Love it!!

After all the bugs were fixed I didn't play any other online games for a long time. Hearing that startup music just teleports me back to my bedroom at moms house on my 26" TV. Amazing 👏
The group that revived Socom Confrontation also revived others like Warhawk, Killzone 2, and PlayStation Home.
Can you just pop in the disk and do matchmaking? Or do you need to do some special configurations?
@@hotpockets69 For most games, you can just pop in the disc.
"Our soldiers have the bomb" really brought me back haha damn I wish I didn't trade in all me PS3 games
I seen sealed copies of this game on eBay for like 30 bucks.
I wish MAG would get a revival. Game was rad as hell
MAG was literally my favourite game, if that came out again omgg
@@mas604 same .. right their with confrontation
Maybe someday. I can only hope.
That game requires large player numbers though. You'd probably only be able to keep one sabotage room up. I loved MAG though
I wanted to play MAG but I never had a console. Now I have Pc Gamer and I can play Planetside 2 but I really wanted to try MAG.
Are you playing with my feelings? I just looked this up and to see what happened since I heard it shut off years ago and came across this. If this is true I’m going to buy a PS3 again because I missed this game
Hope you bought the PS3 bro 😃
It’s true
Its true! I bought a PS3 again 2 days ago and got Confrontation hooked up. It works great! Very easy set up process as well thankfully. Anybody can set it up!
@@gangstalkingcanada5920 Are there alot of ppl online??
@@gangstalkingcanada5920 are you for real?
I grew up playing this. My dad and my sister and me all had our own ps2s and we played Every night and weekend religiously. I miss this game
I put soooo many hours into this game, and Socom 3. This is so refreshing compared to the COD style online shooters of today. Sure Socom was a slower pace, but it was so much more satisfying, it gave you a reason to communicate, you didn't respawn right after you died! Oh so many good good memories.
Seeing This just brings me back, it was my first ever game next to Warhawk and spider man 3 on the ps3
I'm so glad you covered this!
Love how you brought up the golden years of the PS3 online community. I really miss warhawk (which you can still play fyi), MAG and confrontation
Mag is coming back too
@@pavlost1108 but it needs a butt load of players. Playing the small modes only isn't what the game was made for.
Mannn I miss this game. Even now years later, still the best online tps imo. Soo many hours I had on that game. Socom 4 multiplayer didn't even come close to delivering the experience confrontation did. Wish you could play it on pc.
I remember being excited to customize my character…
Nice seeing communities reviving old games!
this was the first game I ever worked on, and frostfire was the first map I made, happy to see it again and getting some love so many years later! good memories :D
This was one of my favorite games. Hours on hours
Never knew it existed until last month, god it looks like so much fun. I’ve played battlefront on the ps2 though and those games were bad ass.
No game comes close for me. Socom over everything
I remember playing socom 2 sandstorm on PS2 I was Sgt.master that game takes me back good video bro keep up good work.
Wtf!!! I can't believe you are playing Socom right now dude!!!!! This is fkn amazing!!! My favorite game ever. Hands down!!! I have a ps3 in the closet. I have to get this shit!!!!!
loved this video man subbed !
Back in the day this is what made me get into online gaming, playing S3/CA and S:Con was fun as hell....I was too late to S1 and 2...but I still had the most fun on this one, GB ladders were lit like 600+ teams with rosters. Miss those days man.
I played under SuRge., MeTTaLLiC, and WaVeS-
YESSSSSIIIIIRRRRR been waiting for you to make a video!
I was happy to see this, played for the 1st time in years last night, was fun as hell
Hey I'm in the Kasbah game here. didn't even notice you were playing lol
I remember getting the network card expansion for my ps2 just so I could play socom online! Those were the days
Yup, that was the first time I played online on a console. It was incredible and I was addicted! SOCOM 2!
This nice to see!! Socom1-confrontation Wast 1 [503 Land] [503] bluntsmokers
I can't believe I trow this game away. I thought it was finished. Best time of my gaming life. I wanna buy a ps3 and this game again ASAP. 2 trophies to platinum 😅
Holy shit my childhood! I need this back! I remember my old clan SFH (Soldiers for hire). Would be nice to speak with any of the guys again. Good times.
Remember all, Confrontation isn't the only one back, they all are! S2 is popping every night as well
This one actually hit my sub box pog champ
I had this game with the ps3 with the gun PlayStation move controller this game was beyond its time 2008 wow these graphics still hold up today
I MISSED confrontation so much, the ole days of MAG, Confrontation and warhawk maaaaaaaaaana TAKE ME BACK
they did this too with MGOnline
I was addicted to socom 2/4/confrontation
I was so sick at this game too
So many memories
Sadly most of the ppl I was in a clan with have passed away
I miss this series
I held onto my ps3 and game for so many years hoping it would come back some day, I can't say how happy I am to play it again, my ps4 hasn't been touched in a month now
Thank you snake and all the mods that made this possible!!!
So glad there are still so many fans. What an underrated game. Best years of my life socom 2 and confrontation. Would love to see it come back 4k, easy to download for everyone. I liked a mix of seasoned players and noobs to crush. The stats really got me going, 2 and 1 was everything to me.
Cheekyslap
I can once ever 4-5 years get the feeling in a game that this game made me have all the time . It was pure love and joy playing it .
What do you press if your soldier is dead and want to revive their life please
Hell yeah!, I am gonna connect my PS3, been wanting to play this game so long. Old memories
You should talk about Gunz The Duel, it’s also making a comeback
GunZ is coming back?
Oh shit I really.have fond memories of it
WOah!
Thats wild, id love to see a new one of GunZ
Cracked out and straight up played every waking hour of this game for like 3 years
I remember spending many nights playing this with friends. Good times
How the pros played back then and kill people quickly:
Full black outfit for maps without snow
Full white outfit for snow maps
All lightweight armor
Grenades
Highest sensitivity
552 or M4A1 with suppressor 3
Run-jump with grenades in hand at the beginning of match for max speed to reach certain spots
If I ever get a copy of this game, I'm gonna create my own team, the Commando Elite, named after the antagonistic soldiers that everyone loves from the movie Small Soldiers.
Now they should bring back mag
i would fucking DIE for them if they did this
I think the most promising thing about this revive is that Sony may look at reviving this game even further! I honestly cannot wait to get my ps3 plugged in and running scon asap.
Man... This just makes me wish that a modern game on PC for mouse and keyboard would just happen already even more
They just need to port this to pc
If the game was on 360 and backwards compatible, I would definitely buy it
This was the first online shooter i played and quantum of solace, when i got my ps3. Then the cod era came. Great times, great games.
Man this brought back so much memory's, but socom 2 was my number 1 and still is
Who else remember spending time in PlayStation home to assemble/ disassemble an AK-47 gold to unlock in the game 🤣
Damn I can't believe they are reviving So many PS3 game's!!! Socom and Ghost recon advance warfighter are so nostalgic 😢.
I played Ghost recon advance warfighter 2 online in it's final moments before it got shut down on xbox 360 and got lucky enough to record the gameplay and upload it on RUclips.
The way you commentate is great
Man if only MAG was this easy to be revived, I know theres a small group thats been working to get it back up and running for a while.
I threw away my MAG disc only a few days ago during a clearout, now I might regret that! MAG was awesome.
Maybe I’m crazy but aside from the shitty 30 FPS, I feel like the gfx and art direction are amazing. Game has such a uniquely gritty feel. And gameplay wise, nothing fucks with SOCOM gunfights.
Sony needs a shooter on the PS5. SOCOM 5 needs to happen.
Yup, SOCOM brings back the feels.
Come on back brother. It's as fun as ever!!
Just when I get a pc we get all this socom working on ps2 and ps3 lol
All these projects to jumpstart the heart of old titles is beautiful
even titles from DOS can be online these days hell yeah
Thanks to the SaveConfrontation Team!
This game was ahead if it's time
i used to play this game all the time with friends, it was amazing! Id love for this game to be remade with the same mechanics and everything just remade in unreal engine 5 for better graphics
Also when you said M.A.G It made me think back to my high school days
Been waiting for it to leave open beta, and for some more of my friends to get their asses on this game again!!! I'll be hooking my PS3 up soon, the ps5 can wait:). Thanks to SNAKE + all who got Socom back for us while we STILL wait for Sony to bring it back already with a new or remastered game....
True glory days, best game of my whole life. This game will not happen again in all gaming history.
I've had my ps3 and Confrontation disk in a box for all these years. It's like gold for me.
i killed 500+ hours in SOCOM 2. that game had problems, but i have yet to play a shooter as engaging as that game was. I want that game to come back.
Underrated multiplayer experience
Friends from college and I used to get DOWN on this game. I might have to get a PS3 again now...I miss this game that much
So awesome to play this game again IHaven’t turned my PlayStation4 on since this Game got back online
I'm so glad I still have my PS3. I guess my system hordsish ways are paying off ❤️
Same. I just found out about this!
Hey, if you guys are still out there, i miss y'all. i miss the battles. My name has never changed. i hope we are still here for a remaster so we can all link up again. my FU3 Crew.

The controller motion controls to lean and peak or duck for cover.
And the swimming under water?
Best military experience!
And if you got shot while swimming underwater, it was embarrassing 😅
Hey BIGFRY !!!! Haven't you heared there is a reboot for SOCOM is in the works !!
Bigtaco96 and TheClubOfRome... if you're out there still, it's ssassa and I still think about you guys ❤
I don't understand how legally they can sell you a game then stop supporting servers
im actually crying, this was home to me.
I remember this game coming with a headset for ps3 back then
YES! SOCOM is what started the whole online gaming world for me and so many others. I have been saying for the past few years that someone needs to bring back SOCOM. remastered or new, lets hope they keep it the same!
Miss this game I we had a clan of 40 people different factions 16 v16 I believe it was a different crowd of shooters this is og urban waste land❤
2023 still the best game that i ever played… Bring it Back
It is back servers are up
i might pick up a ps3 because of this. I never played SOCOM online before. I only ever played the single player (online gaming wasn't something i was really aware of back then) and it looks interesting
I'm crying. I am about to be 25. I played socom confrontation with my dad. That game made me lol! I always wished I could show me playing this game. Fuck it I'mma go get a ps3.

I have the game still in great condition!
The last, actual SOCOM, SOCOM game. Wish I could play this again but sadly I bought it online on the PS store rather then a disk version. :(
My first ever PS3 game which my dad bought me. Memories!
You finally talked about this
We will never forget!
Back then this game had so many lag switchers. But gameplay wise, it was one of the best 3rd person shooter games.
This got me started in multiplayer gaming!!!!
Wow my favourite Socom game I was terrible at it but I had lots of fun with my old clan. I was disappointed with Socom 4 would love to see Socom Confrontation 2 released.
