MAG

[Alize_82]

I think you would all agree there is a lot of excitement around MAG since we all heard

about the news of this title. I still remember my face when a saw the first trailer 

If you are like me and have been keeping up with the Developer Diaries on the PlayStation.Blog  

I like the fact you can play the game as you wish, go all guns blazing  or be tactical. I do 

love the tactical aspect of the game, assigning your squads to complete certain objectives,

the ranking up system, the emphasis on working as a team, and last but not least 256 players.

So what is it about MAG that makes you want it so badly? Is it because of the big

maps? Is it the amount of people you can play against?

For me it's the sheer size of the game and the set up of the platoons with having smaller 8 man squads part of a bigger picture.

What you do has an impact on the overall picture 'The Shaddow War' - so no game is 'just a game' - everything you do has an impact which is something that has never been done on a console before.

SOCOM Vets will love it too because of the tactical element.

On paper this game shouldn't be possible on a console - 256 players FTW!!!!

Bring it.

Its the name for me lol MASSIVE ACTION GAME

[funkshui]

There's so many things!! It's Zipper and I just love the Socom series, the scale of the maps and the feeling of being in a battle that's so much more than your squad of 8 men.

The tactical element to the game and with what seems to be an enormous amount of objectives that can be achieved further strengthen your factions position in the persistent war, the fact that the war is persistent.

Hopefully the team work and communications will be akin to Socom, it has the best community on any game and i personally think this will be the same for MAG.

Did I mention 256 players and the command structure??

I don't know... everything!!

Where to start!?!? The size of the game... 256 players on the battlefield (eventough you probably wont see most of them!)... I love the BF series which this is sort of like... lots of players on a big map fighting over objectives/points on the map... but this is even bigger then even BF2... not just because you can have more players, but because of the shadow war.... its like a game of risk.

There's also the point that you know that what ever your squad does it will have some sort of impact on the overall game and your not just there trying to win a map and just rank up because if you win then your team gets rewarded.

Last but not least there is the fact that its not linear in anyway... from the videos and interview you can go about your tasks however you like... you don't have to do the same thing over and over again.

I think that sort of covers it for me!

Huge monsterous firefights. These rounds will go on for a while so will be more realistic than capture the flag and return 3 times type of modes in other shooters

So I can kill them all....

I think it's the appeal of having such a huge scale battle, and having to have everyone co-operate to make it work, it wont be like battlefield where if they're quick enough one player can win the match, in MAG we'll NEED to work together. that and it looks kick ass

For me its the team work factor of the game because I love to work in a team and I think that a game that really encourages it is genius !

I'm most looking forward to the community potential. I can already imagine a fun night where the EU community are one faction, the U.S. are another - and we battle it out war of the worlds stylee!
