Title: MAG: Massive Action Game for the PS3
Post by: stran on January 26, 2010, 11:47:12 PM
MAG is for ground combat like AH is for air combat. large, objective based first person shooter.
seems interesting enough for me to consider buying a console.

A console based MMOFPS. That's an interesting idea.
I wonder how it will do...

From what I've heard from some friends that still work at SCEA, it's actually a pretty tight game but lag can be pretty bad as the numbers go above 64+ in battles.


ack-ack

I also heard it takes waay too many shots to kill first off, before leveling and getting weapon upgrades. 30 shots? 10x worse than Bad company. I don't know if it is true though, maybe ask your friends?

I'm glad BFBC2 will have a pc release. So disappointed in BF1943 and the one year later release on pc(which has yet to come out).

From that video it looks like the muzzle flash on the gun would get really annoying, after you start shooting you can barely see what your shooting at.

 :rofl poor attempt to do something us computer gamers have been doing for years...Delta Force, VietCong, MoHAA, Battlefield, CoD...the last 2 pc versions of CoD allowed up to 50 or 60 players at a time on a server and in search and destroy mode using a realism mod...kick butt.









Too bad I'm tired of it after too many years... :rolleyes:

My friend wants to buy a PS3 just for MAG. I keep telling him if he gets a PS3 then to get BFBC2, or maybe MW2.

I've played some of the Beta's, and to me it was like any other game like this, just in a much larger number. What I did like though was that it gave reason for rank, as now those people have autourity and I guess if they don't lead right, they will be forced out.

Good idea, it was fun.

leadership is wack, most the time the idiots in charge don't have a mic and don't know how to use the leadership commands and extras. I'm trying to get used to MW2 again after 3 weeks of this cluster F***

Doubt it. I LOVE FPS games, if they're well done and realistic. I like the Star Wars: Battlefront series because it wasn't one of those one-man-army types, where you have like, 1-4 main characters accomplishing missions an entire army would have a hard time with in real life. MMOFPS games however, will ALWAYS drop the ball, because you will have those few of us who want to do things realistically, tactically, and then you have the 10 year olds who just want to hack and cheat their way to number 1. Unfortunately, the latter are far more plentiful.

So anyone actually have/played this game want to give a review about it?

I was looking into getting it but still a little undecided as the lag has to be there.

Im waiting for god of war 3 and MLB the show 10 so I might ebay it in a couple months.

gp rent it is all I'm going to say, if you have a group that can work together then you should have a good time. if you get on by yourself and get lumped in with a group of loners it is going to suck balls. you can't just run and gun and win oblectives like you can in MW2 or other COD games.

lag really hasn't been a big issue for me, my team mates i've been paired up with have been god awful.
