But apparently the bolt action is exactly the same as Modern Warfare.
So my question, if I want solid tactical military shooter... is it worth going for SOCOM? I never played it on the PS2, and since there's no demo... I have no idea what to expect. Any word from people that have been playing? Have the patches sorted out all the server issues?

The sniper rifles are most definately NOT the same as Moder Warfare. First, you need to unlock all the scopes with the exception of the Springfield. Next, you have to make alot of trade offs. Do you want to use the rifle grenade or do you want the scope?
All of the rifles behave very differently. I would say the ONLY similarities are that the M1A1 behaves like the M14 and the MP40 behaves like a MP5. But those similarities are not huge. Reloading take alot of time now. You need to be accurate and take cover always. Your clips are smaller than in MW and this will probably be the first time I use the Sleight of Hand perk.
Socom is for diehard fans mostly. It's love or hate with that game. I don't like it but my coworker loves it to death and so do his buddies. It's very slow paced too.
