MAG- massive action game?

this to me looked really cool in the sony press conference, but is it going to work?

And does anyone know the details, like i no its squads of 8, but is it every squad for themselves, or 128 vs 128?

lol, wow, I'm normally not a fan of DM but with 255 other guys it could be fun.

256 players in an action game ?

this should be fun no matter what

even it would be average game, 1 vs 255 dm is pure enjoyment

well 8 vs 248 is still good :lol:

One question I never saw answered, is this a respawn game or round based play?-ArchAngeL-777-

now that would ruin the fun...

round based play ?? waiting for 128 players to be dead... ">.>

Gamespot has an interview with Zipper in the Videos section of the E3 coverage. Basically, it is 128 v 128 with each team divided into squads of up to 8 players. Each squad will have an objective just like in modern day combat. One squad might be taking out a bridge while another is assaulting a forward base, etc. This is pretty awesome and I truly hope they can pull in off. My only concern is lag. Even on the PC, it is very difficult to get a decent game with 50 or more people involved. Now 256? I have a feeling they will separate the maps into regions, and you will only download data for the area you are in. It is conceivable that there could be battles all over the place with no more than 20-30 players in a region.

looks respawn, they had para jumps which must be the repawn or something i'm sure it'll be answered soon enough

yeah i think para jumps are goin to be the respawn thing, does anyone have a feeln that this game might actually come out soon, i mean not tomorrow or not by the end of the year but sooner than everybody things, they said they have been developin it for 2 years now, they say this game gives the ps3 a workout, so that means they have at least a stripped down playable version for testin right?

Don't quote me on this but, the earliest I could ever see this game coming out would be summer of 2009.

Err i was watching the Interviews and its like each squad have objectives to complete for a successful mission

And that happens on Each Of The Teams.

this to me looked really cool in the sony press conference, but is it going to work?

And does anyone know the details, like i no its squads of 8, but is it every squad for themselves, or 128 vs 128?

Hey! In the interviews it said there is 8 Squads on EACH team And they each have objectives to complete so they can Successfully Win The Match

is there really that many players online????

did my research and its 256 player with 8player squad

It will work. 8 man squads fighting against other 8 man squads. It's the same concept as a mmorpg just it's a fps.

There's no way it's going to be 256 players in the same game at the same time. Maybe the same server or "world map" but you are never going to see 255 other players on the screen with you at the same time. It's going to be divided into seperate areas of a city or country and within that region 8 player squads are given specific tasks. I imagine if you have one group capture a bridge it will enable another group on a seperate map to receive tanks that are "waiting" on the other side.

Of course I could be wrong, but if you had 256 people running on the same map i think things would get really distracting. I really think its going to be like 8 different maps of 32 players in each region or something. I guess we'll find out soon enough. Remember we havent seen any gameplay

Oh and side note. "Massive Action Game" terrrrrible name.
