MAG fear....

I think MAG will be a good tactical shooter but my only fear(besides the potential lag-fest)is that some people will try to diss it because it's not the typical run-n-gun shooter.After looking at the vids and talking to people who have been in the beta, MAG seems to be a game that requires alot of teamwork.Something that most shooters are lacking today....what are your thought's??

MAG is going to be one of those "You love it, or hate it" games.

Some will love it, while others will hate it to the core and bash it.

i hope it dosent end up like killzone/socom. socom's horrid commnity and killzone's lack of teamwork

idk, if it's actually 256 players and needs team work.... that will be hard.funsohng

Well the teamwork is among your squad, which I believe is 8 players. I don't know not in the beta.

there is a leader who issues commands, and following them gives you the most xp.

i play socom. what im saying is how the community acts. (ie) clans vote out people not from the clan. etc. btw im an clan. but people do boot me.

hopefully the SOCOM: CONFRONTATION community will transfer over and they all are very big on teamwork lolyarou1000

Yeah, I had Socom when it first came out and I was very impressed with the community and teamwork...my only beef was that they where still working out the bugs in the servers.

Hopefully this will discourage all of the lonewolfes and rambo's from going solo. lol

also i am not a noob. lol. i was the guy who told the team to set up attacks here and there .

[QUOTE="amsfm6"]

[QUOTE="funsohng"] that will ease things up a little bit, but then again, those squads have to work together, which will be a pain too, unless there's is someone like commander who is going to play the game like an RTS, giving order to his teammates or something.MarcRecon

Yeah the SOCOM community is horrible. But these are my type of games I enjoy. COD is just for a change of pace.

Play .. then pass judgement ..

Love it or hate it, I'm sure you'll see more immature hate around these parts ..

all i can say is there is a lot of teamwork and strategy involved and who knows if thats a good thing.

Well we'll see after this BETA if everyone plays it right ..

I'm in the beta. Teamworking works :)

Basically, only your team leader needs a mic, he just tells the team what to do.
It's fine if you ignore it, but you get like, bonus XP if you do it,
so why not? Everyone does what the leader says, everybody's happy.
And in the end, it WORKS.

good thing i got a group of friends that will be in my squad

When Socom debuted it was also team-based game and look how things turned around years later.

There are numerous fans of the genre and I have no doubt MAG will have gamers support, there is a incredibly large crowd on PS3 that prefers team-based games, myself included.

I'll be in the beta before the month ends (Qore) and I'm eager to finally check the game out.

My thought is that this game looks terrible from the visuals to the gameplay

well I'm getting it.... with 127 of my other friends too. :P

No, but really I have about 5 friends so far that are interested. 128-6 = 122 more friends to go.

Try playing BF2 as commander... All you will do is drop arty strikes, UAV, crates, cars and radar scans... Order a squad to do something and 90 of the time they just ignore it. Sometimes they feal like it and move to where you order them actualy lol :D

Too many people have been looking at MAG and screaming about how disorganized 256 players will be. This isn't a 360 shooter, this isn't a generic franchise shooter, it is not going to be just a large deathmatch level with 256 people going at it. The teams are going to be broken down into squads, so though you are playing with an 8-man group, you can encounter many allied teams and enemy teams while heading for your target. This game has more depth than a massive mob of players running and gunning.

-MG out

If the game requires teamwork then that only furthers my opinion of No Mic = Booted

I think MAG will be a good tactical shooter

It doesn't look that tactical, it looks more like Call of Duty to me. Maybe I haven't seen enough, tactical would be more like Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, or Operation Flashpoint.

socom is the most played exclusive online... killzone 2, well i havent played it online in a while :Pyarou1000

i play socom. what im saying is how the community acts. (ie) clans vote out people not from the clan. etc. btw im an clan. but people do boot me.

Well i think each squad would be tasked to a certain objective so that you wouldnt have to talk to the rest of your army to get things done.

The system has worked in Battlefield I dont see why it cant work in this game. Although of course you didnt have 256 people in battlefield but it worked on a smaller scale. :p

The way the game is looking it seems like the run and gun type, lone wolf players will probably tire of it quickly and go back to Call of Duty.

I can't see ANYWAY that MAG will be a teamwork type game. It's just not going to happen 256 players at once? DOUBT IT lets face it it's hard enough going online with ANY SHOOTER that involves teamwork and getting a team together that you can actually produce with. NOT COMPARING but if you look at Socom C.A this had a multiplayer "co-op" online max players i think was 16 ( i could be wrong and if soo sorry) however my point is that you would waist sooo much time trying to get the ( 8 Players on your team ) to work together. I DON'T see how 256 players will work as a team enviroment. BUT lets see when it comes out right!

mag looks terrible and will most likly be terrible pc can do 256 and its a no temawork run around shoot game on ps3 itll be worse IMO
