    I searched for any maps with SOCOM in their title and found a lovely map called Blizzard from SOCOM 2. Think it only had 30 downloads. Playing it brought back memories of the original map from probably 20 years ago and it played really well, great map although not 100% accurate to the original it had some aspects in it that reminded me of playing Blizzard before. So it was a win. A nice find. Shame its not featured but who looks through all the maps eh? Nobody, they just wait for recommendations instead of proactively seeking out the best maps.

    I messaged the guy and I think he was quite happy that I liked it. Sometimes, thats the kind of recognition you want from map-making. I'm now inspired to make a "similar" map - not Blizzard, but I remembered the feeling of playing Blizzard. I want to share that experience with people who have never played Blizzard or ever played SOCOM 2.

    Making Nuketown though - for sure - those kids are attention seeking, just like the COD players that played it.
    I had Blizzard partially finished for FAR CRY 3. Heck FAR CRY 3 didn't even have snow either or pine trees. I was gonna make my own pine trees with pot plants. hahaha I used white sand and made it cloudy and rainy it looked decent. But once I heard playing our maps in 1 map private lobby I gave up. So Socom Ratsnest was the only map that made it out for FAR CRY3. I think I had some easy map made I don't remember. I made Ratsnest twice. I had it for FC2 and FC3. But like others have said with Far Cry lack of game modes and respawns socom maps felt weird respawning.

    I remember searching for socom as a keyword back in FAR CRY 2. Man oh man. Tons of socom maps popped up. Back then Desert Glory was made by 5 different people. I wanted to make that one. I think Socom maps with FAR CRY 5 engine would be easy. But the lobby system and lack of game modes is a waste of time. Also playing in private isn't showing any love to your map with a couple people only.

    Thing is Socom was on the ps2. The graphics were simple and blah. Remakes need to be perked up like a HD remaster with more stuff. For any of the jungle maps i'd load it up. Heck ps2 couldn't handle much vegetation. For my map Abandoned. I was gonna make it thicker with jungle. Maybe had vines and what not dangling. Did UBISOFT ever fix the error with tunnels? I think a poster mentioned they got some error and couldn't published cause they had tunnels. Well Abandoned is loaded with tunnels and jungle.

    But yeah UBISOFT needs more game modes possibly even one life round best of 7 or 9 rounds. One life rounds on Socom in a clan war always got your heart pounding. Still shocked Sony killed Socom. Ever since then I never bought a Sony product either.
