H-Hour (Socom is back)

[Ziek88]

I realize it's possible I was the only Socom 2 fan but in my opinion, it is the best tactical pvp shooter of any I've seen or played. It was more or less the start of MLG and where competitive gaming made it's debut. Gamebattles.com was originally only for Socom 2 until it branched to other games. Sadly, after 10 years, this PS2 games servers were finally shut down and the company that made the series disappeared. Past Socom 2 they were pressured to follow the style of call of duty which was their downfall. The brains behind socom 2 were canned and the next wave of makers released trash.

Then one day I stumbled across a kickstarter which was started by the head guy from socom 2 and he is working with a large part of his original crew. Even better surprise, he got the funding required to make the game he proposed. It's called H-Hour. They are building it on the mechanics that made Socom 2 so great with a facelift to make it look better. It's set to release for both PC and PS4.

It is unfortunately still early in development so who knows what will happen but I am hopeful this will reach completion. It has not yet made it to closed beta though however a testing group is currently being selected.
