Personally, gameplay wise and map wise, I got more enjoyment out of Socom 1&2, but that's not saying COD4 is bad. I really like the Perks, and the hit detection is awesome most of the time.
But the maps on COD4 are pretty monotonous. Seriously, how many city type maps do we really need? Everyone loves those maps because you can claymore a building and camp it up. But whenever my favorite map comes along, Downpour, it gets voted. Grrr!

I would say Socom1. I love COD4 but its map choice is weak I think. I wanna see some wooded areas and such

Tough one here. Socom was a great experience, but Zipper fucked up the series by changing the game mechanics. COD4 is a great game, but small map selection. But in Socom, you could do more customizing with the weaponry, but Zipper ignores their fan base while Activision listens. I would say Socom. The reason being is that I used to turn down sex for Socom, while COD4, I get bored with over a period of time.

Socom. That games had me separated from my wife for over a year, that's not counting the 2 years I lived with her and didn't pay one lick of attention to her. That is an infactuation if you ask me and that is the reason Socom wins. COD4 is really good but Socom is better.

I'd have to say Socom as well I haven't played a game 15 hours straight multiple times since Socom2. COD4 is fun, but Socom was truly S0-Crack!

to me this is kind of a unfair QOW. the reason being is you are comparing a whole series (SOCOM) to 1 game (COD4). i could see if the question was...what series game do you enjoy more, SOCOM or COD? then i can see going with SOCOM, just off 1 & 2. but you are comparing COD4 to the newest SOCOM: CA. i would say hands down COD4. so you should answer more on the newer socom to COD4, as opposed to a whole series to 1 game. that would only be fair.

I agree with Joker. I think what is missing is the fact that Socom revolutionized the online gaming industry. It was the first game of its kind to come out with a mic and really interact with other players at the verbal level. So the addiction to the game should not judge the quality. I think we have all learned over the years how to balance our lives better so that the games do not dictate when we do things.
Here is how compare the series:
Socom wins hands down on Inovation for Socom I
Call of Duty wins for customer satisfaction for COD4
Biggest let down goes to Socom for numerous Lag Factors and Losing Old Maps
Call of Duty wins for ranking structure
Socom wins for their Clan setup
Call of Duty wins for better online performance
We are talking across multiple platforms and series but overall I think I have had much more dissatisfaction from the Socom Series. A lot of high hopes and expectations were not met. I think I will always appreciate what Socom did for the industry, but I think they mis-managed a lot of the later releases to make a quick buck. I continue to be a big Xbox 360 supporter and will give the nod to Call of Duty for adapting to their audience and delivering a quality product.

ya, everyone says "Oh i spent my whole life playin socom, oh i ignored my wife" and on COD4 "i dont spend much time playing it, oh it gets boring" let me tell u what i think is the reason...
i think the reason why everyone played socom so much is cuz of what Yaya said, it was the first game of its kind to come out with those features. i think that everyone dont play COD4 as much as socom is cuz we all learned to spend our time more wisely.
since we stopped playing socom i think everyone realized "wow i spent all this time playing a game and left my family hanging". Now we spend time with family and friends more, we get work done and stuff more important. and becuase of that reason i BET that NO MATTER what game comes out, we will never play a game as much as socom, and that includes if socom 2 came out for the 360 with improved graphics and such, and everybody got it, we will play alot for like a week, and then back to our usual.
i wouldnt play a game as much as i played socom either because im simply getting more bored of gaming, and i think that change is getting to all of us, we are all slowly getting bored of gaming....
now for my input... i cant really decide, i like both games about the same

If socom 2 was fixed of the little garbage, lag and cheating, I would divorce my wife and go back to many, many hours of socom playing with what I would be sure is the masses that left.. I bet you would too. Just think about it.

i agree strongly with YaYa & Busta on this one. socom could fall from the sky on a golden platter. being just like the socom 1 & 2, and we still wouldn't play like the old days. i know i wouldn't now that i have a son. if you said you would, you would be lying not only to us but also yourself.

It was fun for a while but I realize that it was overkill! I will state again it was not the game that made it so much fun, it was the people we played the game with. We were all just in Right Place Right Time.

Oh I can, cuz that is where it's at.. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be back.. Sure zipper fucked shit up and the trust in another of their games is low, but if it was to return to the glory days I am sure that after month or 2 everyone would be back on the rocket ship.. It only takes one to lead the crowd.. a trustworthy one. Sure it was the right place and time and if the game was fixed we would be there again. It was the game.
How many people can actually play a game in fps and not wish it wasn't true third person? I wish it everyday... I guess it's hard to let go.
