Not sure if any GWJer donated but I loved the first two SOCOM's on the PS2. H-Hour just got funded on Kickstarter but I didn't catch it in time. They extended the kickstarter perks for one month if any Socom fans want to get in on it until August 7th.

No SOCOM fans! Ok I'll get the last laugh when it comes out in two years and all of you are playing it! In two years...

I always liked the game in theory, but never got into multiplayer on the PS2 versions and the PS3 versions were... well you know.

SOCOM is what got me on the Multiplayer scene back in the days. Before then, I could care less about being online. I love hearing that the original guys are coming back to this. I hope this happens and it's just as epic as the first few SOCOMs were. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on this.

I didn't hear about this until after the Kickstarter was over, but I am definitely in for this.

I also am very happy that it will release on PC, because there's a good chance that's where I will play it.

God, I hope. I hope so hard.

Seeing SOCOM II footage makes me hurt. I just want it back.

If they get it right, I will play it for years.

And being on PC means it won't be tied to console online services that get shut down. If SOCOM II were a PC game, there's a community of people who would still be playing it.

This game is going into alpha release for early backers in February, followed by closed beta for later 'backers, then Steam Early Access in March.

They switched from Unreal Engine 3 to UE4 sometime after the initial vertical slice demos, looking forward to seeing it in action with UE4. Not that it's going to be a visual stunner, but decent graphics + SOCOM 2 gameplay + modern netcode and Internet gaming functionality is all I want. If they released a SOCOM 2 HD with that, I would preorder it before they could finish the sentence announcing it.

Doesn't need to be a blockbuster. It just needs to not be broken like SOCOM: Confrontation. Or Takedown.
