SOCOM 4: Multiplayer Map First Look


For all of you who were able to grab your SOCOM 4 beta codes from Killzone 3 or at PAX East, you can now redeem your access codes today.  In anticipation of such, Zipper wants to give all of their fans a look at 2 SOCOM 4 multiplayer maps that have yet to be seen!  These maps haven't been seen outside of Zipper interactive yet so get excited!


"Von Heine Express was actually one of the last MP maps we finished; the idea behind it was to create an environment that captured the spirit of our classic SOCOM 2 map, Fox Hunt, but built on the themes of SOCOM 4 and made for great sniping scenarios."

The map is set on the coast of Southeast Asia in a military base that has abandoned train cars.  Apparently this map has only been seen once and that was at PAX East 2011, when it was a part of Zipper's SOCOM 4 Championship Tournament.

Here's a video for you guys:

The second map that Zipper is unveiling is Cesspool.

"Cesspool was one of the earliest MP maps developed for SOCOM 4 and it came about because of how much we loved the thematic from our 'Means to an End' single-player mission."

In Means to an End, you will be thrown into a city slum landscape that's under siege by the insurgents (led by the "bad guy" General Razad).

"That SP mission was only an inspiration, though, and Cesspool was created entirely from scratch and is excellent for close-quarters combat-oriented players."

And here's a video for that one:

Now the catch is that these two maps are NOT available in the beta but you'll be able to experience them when the game hits shelves on April 19th.
