Well here I am giving you all my secrets on how to play socom. I'm tired of being called a cheater so I might as well help you all play better. These are some tactics that people just don't take seriously, but they do help. Some are funny and some will make people call you a cheater. So enjoy and leave me alone....I hope that many of you try some of these.
Why dont i kill people when i shoot?
I hear this all the time, "I lit that guy up". Well the truth is that if you did he'd be dead. There is no real form to shooting at someone. All people have their styles. Me for instance i shoot at their upperbody. I'll aim at you chest and using the gun recoil i'll end up shooting you in the head. Plus heres a big tip, don't wait till your gun goes up to find out if there is anyone around you. Keep your gun up at all times. This reduces gun lag and by that i mean reaction time for the gun to respond.

How did that guy shoot me when he didn't see me?
LOL... this is what really tickles my pickle. Many people seem to think that trying the same thing 2, 3, 4 maybe even every round will work. Well the truth is IT WONT. Try to have a wide range of different paths you can take and stick to them. If you know your enemy will be behind the same place go around it shooting. Never wait till he shoots you. Maybe even throw a grenade. The thing here is not to ASSUME it'll get you killed.

To camp or not to camp?
Well camping is the very last thing that should be in your mind. In my opinion camping shows weakness. Thats why many people get stomped right on. There are some people that do it good, leave it to them. I myself don't  like to camp I'll rush no matter what. You can catch your enemy offguard if you rush them hard. With a little help of teamwork in some helpfull nade throwing you can frag everyone around your teammate and help him kill everyone.

Why does that guy slide all over the place?
Well this is a pretty crazy trick. Many people tell me that if you press down on your reload button a lot and strafe to any side you'll do it. Even though you wont see yourself doing it others will. It'll work sometimes and it wont work other times. I gues you'll know if it worked or not.

Why didn't my claymore kill that guy? ( man he must be cheating.)
Well the truth is that the claymores do have to be facing a certain direction. For instance i've seen people set them towards walls. This happens more in Desert Glory, when people camp in the hostage building. They set them facing the corner of the doorway. The thing is that they have to be facing the other way.....

How can i kill people really easy?
Well theres a trick you must master first. But the thing is to never quit shooting until you kill your opponent. That way you make sure that he wont have time to shoot back. Plus some people get scared and start to run away wen you shoot them so this will help a lot.

WOW ... How did he kill us 4 at the same time?
There's really no biggy to this one. Some people have the tendency to run in a straight line. Thats why you should tell your team members to not  run to close to you. Its easy when they criss-cross with eachother, because that helps you kill them faster, rather than having to chase each one with your gun. I've been able to kill 4 people at a time in one line all because they crossed eachothers way. If they would have split in many directons i would have been screwed.

Is there any way to play better?
Well a fellow socom player told me about this and i guess it is true. To be the best you have to have a special way of holding your controller and sitting down. Maybe even listening to music. This may be true but i really don't see myself doing any of them. So if you do better sitting down rather than laying down then sit more often.

WELL THATS ALL I GOT RIGHT NOW I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE .....IF YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR QUESTION ON ANYTHING PLEASE E-MAIL ME AND ILL POST IT UP IN THIS SECTION. ---THANK YOU ---
Please help oh great one! How can my clan shoot as a team?
So it's SOCOM 2 now and it's nothing like the first SOCOM. The aiming system is a lot different than the first one. In this one you really have to work with your team to kill an adversary. But there is a technique called Leapfrog that the actual SEALs use. It can be used by either 2 or all 8 men in a team.

Ex.      
Player 1: \=                                 \=                                                                                                                  \=                          \=                                                                                                                          \=                  \=
                                         \=
Player 2: ( \= represents field of view.)

As you can see by the above picture i tried to draw that the 1st player covers the 2nd player and the 2nd player covers the 1st player by advancing. Now if the 2nd player comes under fire he can be protected from behind by his fellow team member as for the 1st player he will protected from the front by the 2nd player.
Or you can use a technique i call the Triangle. Which is used mostly when three members are shooting at the same opponent. To keep one of them from shooting the his own team members is a great technique.
Ex.
                                                               X                                                                       

                                                        +    +    +
                                                            + + +             
                                                            +
O +
                                                      +      +      +
                                               X             +              X

Lets say that the the red cirlce is a terrorist and the X's are the seals, as you can see all three seals are safe from FFire, as for the terrorist he is stuck in the crossfire and is more vulnarable to death than the X's. This will keep the team from fighting about why one shoot the other. The + represent the shoots being fire and will always pass the other member if you aim just right.

Wow how did that guy throw a nade so far and kill me?--I hate this Game!
There is a huge and simple explanation to this problem. The nades in SOCOM 2 for some apperant reason just seem to be so light. The SEALs or terrorist can now throw them farther that a baseball player which is a good thing. Specially at Frostfire. So just get all the pressure you can behind that nade and throw it.
