I'm just curious if the factions in MAG are really skewed, like if Sver has ALL the players and Raven/the other one only have a small amount....

I have read and seen polls before about this, and it would seem that yeah one faction has a significantly higher population than the others but i don't remember which it was, try searching the forum you might find the threads asking the same thing and see the responses from other players of the game.

Nah it's not. Sver used to be a bit OP because of their maps, but all maps are neutral now so it's balanced.

Its not unbalanced but SVER seems to have better armor. You'll understand when you get it. Almost all ofSVER's players vetted from other factions and know what there doing, whereas raven and especially Valor are packed with noobs that play it like Call of Duty. Each factions has better guns in a specific catergory, but i think its balanced, although the best players are in SVER, and the other factions lose 80% of the time against them.

All three factions have solid clans, but SVER seems to have the bulk of the best of them, for one reason or another.

I played as Raven, but SVER always seemed to be the best.

Really!!!!! Noobs who play like COD. I was thinking of getting MAG, but feel like the people on it just play to win, I'm a team player, but I'm not really aggressive, you know like swearing my head off at others if that's what people do here. I do like to win though, but will accept a fair defeat.

No, not at all. I play on SVER and imbalance doesn't come close. Sure more people may choose SVER but my team has lost to Valor and Raven and we have beat Valor and Raven. It doesn't matter how many players are on a team. It matters how many GOOD players are on a team. People say SVER has all the players but Raven has the best players I think.

I don't think there unbalanced at all, I play as Valor and there has been plenty of time when me and the crew have handed it to the SVER. So don't believe the hype, SVER are not as good as people make them out to be.

They are balanced but Valor is full of idiots. I seriously don't get how they can suck so much.

Valor and Raven win but SVER does win the most. They have every single contract for every mode. About two months ago, valor had the contracts twice in a row for escalation, but that was the last time sver ever lost a contract. they are at the top and have the most experienced players playing for them.

Im buying it when we get our PS+ discount, always wanted the game so i'll probably just pick Raven since people say Valor is full of idiots and i dont want that, but i'd accept a fair defeat and still want to find matches quickly.

It's a fantastic shooter, provided you have a bit of patience, are willing to work as a team (microphone or not), and aren't expecting as many players online as Halo or COd.

id say its unbalanced mainly because of the fact that everyone goes Sver. They have the most clans and the most team work while valor and raven are left twisting in the wind on most occasions. I think they made a bad move breaking the game into faction like that because it can really ruin the exp.

Eh, I picked SVER because I liked the way they looked when the game came out. You can purchase another character slot for about $1 I think. :D
