Now from my point of view, everyone should have themselves a nice good FPS to go online with and shoot people up with friends.

But if MAG worth it ? Compare it to.....BFBC2 (MW2 already lost the competition..)

Is is worth it at all comparing to Battle Field 2 ?

Bad company 2 is better, but mag is good. its only going to get bad press because its ahead of its time if anything. they did a good job by introducing factions. it adds another level of atachment and immersion. although that got a bit ruined by introducing trophies for each individual faction. the DLC and Zipper postings on the internet show that MAG will continue strong for a while, storywise. im thinking this will take up alot of space on my harddrive. :P

It is very good but I would probably have to say BF:BC2 is much better.

MAG is pretty good, but BFBC 2 is better Imo. For me the big issue in MAG is there is no Squad Spawning. You will find yourself running a long ways sometimes in MAG just to get back to the action. Also, outside of the fact that MAG has up to 128 players per side in any given match, there is much more going on at any given time in BFBC 2. Now, all that said, I would most definitely choose MAG over MW 2 as it is a much more stable, solid game.

I cant stop laughing after reading that response!! I truely wish/hope infinity Ward comes on these boards and realizes that their game is trashed on a daily basis. Im sure they dont give a rip though. They got paid!!!

I can understand why people might like Bad Company 2 more than MAG, but I personally like MAG more.

Here's why...I found a GREAT group of people to play with. We are in a very strong clan and we coordinate as a team to take down objectives.

We split up into snipers, assaultgroups, and medic/support groups so we always have each others backs. We all have mics so we can coordinate respawn points and objectives to attack.

MAG is uniquely satisfying to me because all of this stuff goes down while I'm playing. Sometimes on Domination our faction will win because my squad dominates as much as it does. And to think, I'm not even that good at FPS. I'm just a damn good medic who gets enough kills to watch my partners' back.

Plenty of people use a mic in MAG, but many do not. If you stick with people who communicate and friend them, you'll probably end up really liking this game. If you like to play quietly by yourself, this might not be the game for you. In all honesty, you're nothing in this game. You're only as strong as your team. Teamwork is essential to dominating in MAG. Keep that mind.

I think it depends on where you are coming from. I am a veteran of the Battlefield PC series, so Bad Company is nothing new or exciting for me. In fact, I dont like it as much as the PC games. MAG is something totally different. Zipper Interactive is very good at unique, team-oriented, objective-based shooters. The Socom series was the defining round-based shooter for years and basically still is. Now they take that philosophy to respawn shooters with MAG...and it works! MAG is almost a mating of Socom's objective gameplay and Battlefield's respawn play. Like Battlefield there is something in the game for everyone. If your not a run-n-gunner, you can snipe, be your squad's medic, or repair a wide variety of necessary objects. Like Socom, there are specific objectives you must target or you lose. Like Bad Company 2, you level up and decide how to customize your character. The graphics in MAG are about like Warhawk. Its hard to have 256 players with good graphics. I also prefer how Zipper mechanizes weapons over DICE. Bad Company weapons just dont feel right to me. Not as bad as MW2...but just enough to annoy me. If you have never tried Battlefield, then maybe Bad Company is for you. MAG is definitely a totally different experience you should take a look at. Here is my list: 1) MAG 2) Killzone 2 - had to drop that in. 3) BC2 Id list MW2, but my post is already long enough...dont have room to make a list that long to accomodate it. lol

No. People who vote yes are most likely Sony fanboys or online addicts.
