MAG overall

Although people enjoyed MAG a lot thought it was a disappointment. Does anyone think MAG was in the category of great idea poorly executed? 252 or however many could have been in one match would have been awesome but when I had it before trading it felt like a shooter game done a million times before and I never played with more than 50 people in one game

Re: MAG overall

There was'nt enough advertisment for it in shops or the telly unlike other games to say it was exclusive to Sony they failed in the marketing.....

 

It was the game players wanted !!!!!!

Squads of eight each with there own chat net....

Commanders at each level could talk to other commanders to coordinate actions....

Only commanders to call in heavy assets.....

FRAGO's on targets so you knew where to go.....

 

The players failed MAG!!!!!!

A lot of players have no grasp of tactics as they have been brought up on "run & gun" & thats what the game needs tactics!!!!

Its why you have the FRAGO's & the chat system to coordinate & motivate your squad to achieve your objectives..

A lot of the time you see commanders that just use there heavy assets as there own & not as the platoons or even help another platoon who are struggling.....

They should of had the PL's & OC's seperate from the sections so they could do what they are meant to do control the battle & be where there needed!!!!

PL's should of been able to set FRAGO's to focus the troops where they wanted them to be.....

 

The Domination games are fantastic when you have a bunch of players who work together....

Re: MAG overall

Amen to that!

For some reason it seems that some people care much more about KDR than they do working as a team and winning the game.

Tbh, I think it was ahead of its time. People are still looking for Call of Duty in any fps they play. I really hope Sony have plans for a MAG2 but with the closure of Zipper I dont suppose thats likely. A real shame.

With such a high player count in each game it really needed the support of the community, for whatever reason it never got that. I dont know why though, for me it certainly stands as one of the best shooters on ps3.

It was a very bold experiment :Thumbs:

Its survived just over two years so far sadly theres not as many players at times so your waiting for games :xCry:

The rot set in from the start really with ppl complaining about this weapon was more powerful than this & of course the big one S.V.E.R.'s positions are better than ours!!!! TBH in some places they were & things were rightly changed .....And Zipper chased the error trying to satisfy everyone :Shame:

At the start S.V.E.R. were very dominant really due to the calibre of players they had!!!!

Re: MAG overall

@ OP you can't play in a game of MAG with only 50 players, certainly not on a consistent basis.

 

The game's a great concept. Personally I'm not sure Sony or Zipper realised what a great game they had, it should have been supported a hell of a lot more, the fact that Domination still freezes speaks volumes about the lack of support the game had.

 

Should have had more advertising, an in depth training mode, more maps instead of meh dlc, just my own opinion but a weapons black market with a price mark-up would have been nice, no patch 1.03, and Devs should not be listening to teenage kids on American forums.

 

Anyway I enjoy the game, even though I'm not very good.

Thats a problem with a lot of games!!!!!

The developers just seem to listen to the US forums & magazines & seem to ignore the EU & other regions :Shame:

Even though I have a US forum account I dont use it that much as its to much of a bear pit at times...
