Zipper Interactive!: READ THIS! WHY M.A.G is a TOTAL FALIURE! AND HOW YOU CAN MAKE IT EPIC!

[ Edited ]

 

Zipper Interactive!: READ THIS! 10 POINTS WHY M.A.G is a FALIURE! 

Dont take me wrong now, i am trying so hard to like this game so hard, but the things (that is below)

make this game sooo frustrating. YES i know its easier with a clan but shuldent you be able to play this game without a clan so you just get some teamwork?

 

IF you read this then FIX THIS STUFF in the next patch.


1. The map: How the hell are you suppose to get backup / help / engineers OR some kind of tactical advantage on the battlefield WITHOUT any map details?

 

Have you EVER looked at other "tactical shooters" seriously?

At least make a grid system on the map: you know? A1 A2 A3 A4 and so on?

 

I mean think about it: You need help at a place in the map: You bring down the map and look and say:

(instead of saying i need help at gate right of the left bunker? yea, its only 4 bunkers in the front row of the map*sarcasm*)


So INSTEAD you look at the map and say: I need help in sector D5,s gate for an example?

Easier? HELL YES, dont belive me? Ask people in bf project reality? YES its on pc but aren`t you after the same tactical experience?

 

IT WOULD HELP ALOT when you need help at an area and don’t have to say like:

I need backup left of the right bunker in the right corner of the map? 

 

GRID SYSTEM

 

2. YOU SHULD HAVE SOLD THE GAME TOGETHER WITH MICS!?

I STILL don’t understand what you were thinking when you didn’t do that.


Now there is like 2 people in a 8 man squad having mic wile the other people dont hear or understand so after a wile you just give up and playing rambo like every one else. thats just GREAT

 

3. Faster switching between seats in apc!


I have almost destroyed my Triangle button in desperate pressing when you have to change seats in heat of battle.

 

4. PLEACE do the gun sounds more heavy so it doesn’t sounds like you shooting with a plastic gun when firing the m60!?

 

5. NEXT GAME: LISTEN TO YOUR FANS! I had high hopes 4 this game but this is a JOKE seriously!


NEXT GAME NEEDS TO HAVE:

 

1. MIC BUNDLE

2. GRIDS ON MAP

3. FASTER BUTTON REACTIONS (in vehicles)

4. BETHER GUN SOUNDS

5. LISTEN TO YOUR FANS.

 

What I am happy with in this game:

 

1. The graphics

/yes the graphics in this game is awesome imo, they maybe aren’t in kz2 or uc2 class but hey, for a 250player game it’s beautiful

 

2. The internet (no lag)

I give you 10 out of 5 stars to the no lag matches with 256 players.

Other game developers should learn from this!

 

3. The feeling on battle.

When the match start and the artillery and sirens and planes are all over the place, Then NOTHING has come close to the feeling of intense battle you have created.

1) I advise you find a group of people to play with. You shouldn't have to explain your location since it's a team game and you should stick together.

 

2) I agree with this.

 

3) It's more realistic IMO, you can't teleport between driving and shooting in real life you know.

 

4) Weapons sound fine :smileyindifferent:

 

5) They do. Look at all the things they've fixed in the game, many of them from fan feedback, which is more than what most game developers do.

 

Btw, it's not a total failure when you're listing good things about the game, and the good things definatly out weigh the negatives. :smileyhappy:

 

And also what's up with your spelling, you spelt words like experience correctly but can't spell words like "Better" or "Please"... o_O

Re: Zipper Interactive!: READ THIS! WHY M.A.G is a TOTAL FAILURE! AND HOW YOU CAN MAKE IT EPIC!

Nice pic =), and I am chill =)

Maybe just a little bit desperate because I am trying so hard to like this game =).

 

1) Yea that I know, but with most people without mic its like impossible.

Like you already know (sense you agree with 2) people without mic often go rambo mission.

And then we have the people without common sense ( oh I love those people ). You know the people that driving to B instead of A when you clearly say and almost scream in the mic that YOU HAVE TO GO TO A!

 

That's why I think it would be great with a grid system so even the ones without a mic can understand what is happening? If you say like : go to a5 and defend gate, It could also show in the left corner for an example like: Squad alpha: defend gate at A5?

 

3) Now when I think about it I agree on that =)

 

4) hmm then maybe I have to check my surround system?

Cause when I am shooting it sounds like there is no bas in the guns?

I mean, listen to the guns in MAG and the listen to them in BFBC2?

I know it aint the same game style, but still?

 

5. That is true, that's why I hope they change this with the map to =), and that is why I bought this game and that is why I why I write what I think in this forum.

 

6. My typing is done in Microsoft word and I use the spell check because my English is not good at all, The things you pointed out I typed when I changed my thread =) sorry

1st point is so obvious, can't believe i didn't think of it. It would help me with objectives being given some unique identifier, especially when on the mic. It's always bothered me how you see the map once, move somewhere else and see it again to find out the map has been rotated.

 

I've never noticed issues with the sounds of weapons. If you are used to hearing actual recordings of weapons and then play a game where they are made by a person using a computer then you may notice differences (if indeed they are). 

 

Note for the future - maybe cut down on the use of  * and ^.

 

Zipper's doing the next SOCOM, and by the video on the blog there is much to be excited about. Even if the main focus is SP.

GRID SYSTEM


This is where the waypoint marker come in very handy

 

 

2. YOU SHULD HAVE SOLD THE GAME TOGETHER WITH MICS!?

I STILL don’t understand what you were thinking when you didn’t do that.


Now there is like 2 people in a 8 man squad having mic wile the other people dont hear or understand so after a wile you just give up and playing rambo like every one else. thats just GREAT


Agreed, far too few people actually use the mics, but rambo tactics will very rarely win a match.

 

3. Faster switching between seats in apc!


I have almost destroyed my Triangle button in desperate pressing when you have to change seats in heat of battle.

 

Agreed, it is very annoying having to cycle through seats in the larger APCs to get to the gun or driver seat that you want, but zipper are aware of this issue and are working on a faster system of changing seat, something along the times of hold the current change seat button and a cicrle pops up with directional buttons to press to quick switch to the seat that you want.

 

4. PLEACE do the gun sounds more heavy so it doesn’t sounds like you shooting with a plastic gun when firing the m60!?

 

can say i have ever had any problem with the gun sound, and even if they are slightly off you are really just picking holes when you bring up an issue as small as this

 

5. NEXT GAME: LISTEN TO YOUR FANS! I had high hopes 4 this game but this is a JOKE seriously!

 

zipper have been very good at responding to feedback so far, there have been many updates addressing alot of issues and adding alot of new features that have been requested.


NEXT GAME NEEDS TO HAVE:

 

1. MIC BUNDLE

2. GRIDS ON MAP

3. FASTER BUTTON REACTIONS (in vehicles)

4. BETHER GUN SOUNDS

5. LISTEN TO YOUR FANS.

 

What I am happy with in this game:

 

1. The graphics

/yes the graphics in this game is awesome imo, they maybe aren’t in kz2 or uc2 class but hey, for a 250player game it’s beautiful

 

agreed, this is a very impressive game graphically for the scale of the maps and the number of players

 

2. The internet (no lag)

I give you 10 out of 5 stars to the no lag matches with 256 players.

Other game developers should learn from this!

 

it does very well for a game with such heacvy demands on its servers alot better than call of duty but is by no means perfect, i have on alot of occasions been knifed from nowhere then a second or 2 the guy come around the corner an pulls his knife out

 

3. The feeling on battle.

When the match start and the artillery and sirens and planes are all over the place, Then NOTHING has come close to the feeling of intense battle you have created.

 

for a tactical war simulation MAG is second to none, there are alot of shooters out there but no WAR simulations quite like this.


 

 

to round up on this you have made a few interesting points on improvements to the game, most notible the posible addition of an ability to frago a location other than an objective or game location item, ie. a dificult enemy choke point which you need backup to be able to push through.

 

The lack of use of mics can be a very big problem in the larger maps but its not up to zipper to fix now, its up to us. if they had bundled it with a headset at launch we may not have got to this mess but we cannot fix that now.

 

The APC problem is being loooked into, the guns are fine for now and they are listening to us and improving the game based on our suggestions all the time.

Re: Zipper Interactive!: READ THIS! WHY M.A.G is a TOTAL FALIURE! AND HOW YOU CAN MAKE IT EPIC!

The problem with bundling the game with a mic is that it puts the price up.  You'll also have to cater for those who already have mics.

 

Therefore you'll end up with a game that costs £55 with mic, and a game that costs £40 without mic.. which one do you think most people will buy, regardless of whether they already own a mic or not? 

Bring back THE GETAWAY!!
