Socom 3. I cannot complete the final part. After about 50 attempts

Tactical Shooters are now very hard. The last I tried to duo with someone was Rainbow Six: Vegas. It was disgustingly difficult.

Those games are designed to be really hard, allowing a group of multiplayer fanatics to play with an adequate challenge. If you grab enough friends for a Tactical Shooter; they're cake. Otherwise...slap Rainbow Six on my Top 10 list.

[GAH]

Try Crysis, holy crap!!!

Let me guess...another tactical shooter?

I still can't get past Pac-Man

I just started playing Call of duty 4... Not really into games as they take too much time.. But I love the game!
