Like so many other games these days online play eventually disappears into the Matrix - forever lost to gamers forever. Never again will you be able to walk those hallowed halls with your mates in online co-op. On the 10th anniversary of the SOCOM franchise, Sony is shutting down the servers for several of their games, including SOCOM: Combined Assault and SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 - both the co-op titles.
Here's the complete list of title's servers to be shut down.
