Zipper Interactive is taking action against pre-owned copies of SOCOM 4. Â Introducing SOCOM Pro, a feature that allows pre-owned customers the ability to access multiplayer but will lock them out of exclusive updates to the game. Â So what are the differences between SOCOM (pre-owned) and SOCOM Pro? Â
Well, SOCOM Pro will have four ranked playlists which are updated for as long as Zipper continues to support the game. Â Plus, Pro users will get access to the M-16 and AK-47. Â Pro users will also get access to future updates within the cooperative modes and competitive multiplayer modes, which include maps and leaderboards.
If you do still decide to go pre-owned and want to upgrade to SOCOM Pro, Â it will cost you $14.99 on the PlayStation Store. Â This is a fantastic revelation for gamers everywhere.
SOCOM 4 currently has a Metacritic Score of 66/100, one of the lowest scores this year for an online shooter, and is available April 19th exclusively for the PlayStation 3.
