Timely and Patriotic! by [TIME Staff](/author/time-staff/) May 5, 2011 6:57 PM CUT by [TIME Staff](/author/time-staff/) May 5, 2011 6:57 PM CUT Though Sony’s been under lots of heat for continually flubbing their still-not-working PlayStation Network, I have to say: this new trailer for SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs — especially in light of all the SEALS-related newsmaking this week — is pretty compelling. Watch it down below and note some of the (I’m sure) carefully selected rhetoric: “We are in and out before the world even knows there was a problem,” or “You don’t know our faces, but you know our seal.” A tad overt, especially when held against the more action-oriented script chosen for the [older trailer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZuWp2q8rWc "undefined"). Regardless, it’s interesting stuff, and the gameplay looks promising enough to give Call of Duty head’s a bit of competition (once they can get online, anyway). The [game](http://www.socom.com/en-us/Blog/Post?id=422 "undefined") and its “Full Deployment Edition” are available starting today. \[vodpod id=Video.7979391&w=425&h=350&fv=fake%3D1\] **More on TIME.com:** [How SEAL Team Six Fed Live Video of the Raid Back to Obama](http://techland.time.com/2011/05/04/how-did-seal-team-6-feed-live-video-of-the-raid-to-obama/ "undefined") [This is the Gear Likely Used in the Raid of bin Laden’s Compound](http://techland.time.com/2011/05/02/this-is-the-gear-likely-used-in-the-raid-of-osamas-compound/ "undefined") [Osama’s Low Tech Hideout Was Probably His Undoing](http://techland.time.com/2011/05/02/bin-ladens-low-tech-hideout-may-have-been-his-undoing/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7241242/this-new-socom-4-u-s-navy-seals-trailer-ramps-up-the-patriotism/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7241242/this-new-socom-4-u-s-navy-seals-trailer-ramps-up-the-patriotism/"},"headline":"New SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs Trailer.
