Which one from these you are going to buy?
I'm with MAG.It has massive MP.256 MP thats awesome.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
This is easy if anyone was lucky enough to get into the MAG beta. The second I stepped into it, is the second MW2 fell off my radar.
MAG is gonna open alot of eyes when it finally hits us. MW2 is just gonna be the same rehash from the same COD series we've been getting for years. generic and unfullfilling
So far my high hopes for MAG has died. Yes, the 256 player battles could be revolutionary, but if you watch the actual gameplay, it's just a mediocre game with mediocre mechanics and mediocre graphics, and, therefore, mediocre fun. Generic shooters ftl.LiftedHeadshot
CoD4 was a generic shooter too.
Fanboys will say MAG will be the better game, but I guarantee you that MW2 will recieve more criticial acclaim, and will be in the running for GotY. I doubt MAG will.
I feel that the ONLY reason people are hyped for MAG to begin with is because of the number of people possible in one match. Look at TC's post. That's why he's looking forward to the game. Many others both on this board and SW have also stated the same thing. There's no problem with that, of course, but let's say MAG had a maximum of only 20 players in a match. What would be the reason(s) why people were excited for the game then?
Listen, I'm not saying MAG will be bad, but to me, it looks like just another average FPS, only with the possibility for way more players in a match. I'll pass on it, and buy a game I know will be great, and that's MW2.
No flaming please, just my opinion. :D
If MW2 turns into a grenade-fest like CoD4, then I doubt I'll play it for very long. MAG looks like it has the right mix of tactics and action, so I'm really looking forward to it. If it comes with the official PS headset, then I'll probably pick it up since my Bluetooth set is crapping out after 5+ years.
Tarets with Napalm :lol: Well i guess youre correct but we'll have to see what else MAG offers and who's to say MW2 isnt another generic shooter?Fanboys will say MAG will be the better game, but I guarantee you that MW2 will recieve more criticial acclaim, and will be in the running for GotY.

wait qore has the mag beta already? and if i get the qore issue will i be able to dl the mag beta and jump in ?
even though im gettin both, im abit more excited for MAG then MW2. cuz MW2 looks just like the first one, nothin new besides maps and few weapons and besides im excited to see how mag will turn out since its a new ip and somethin never done before with 256 playersJoKeR_421256 has been done b4 perhaps more on pc....256 on consoles now thats new
MW2 + single player = I'll buy it.
MAG - single player = I won't buy it.
Seeing as I don't care for online, MAG would be a pointless purchase for me.

Lol your joking right?
Get some better SP game, borderlands is comming out soon, it has like a couple of million of guns and is just like fallout 3, also you can play COOP with friends...
Or get some other better SP game then MW2
MAG VS. MW2? ARE YOU KIDDING ME.................... MAG doesn't even look nice. What good is 256 players when the game itself looks like crap! MW2 ALL THE WAY! not only do you get the single player option, there also including an online co-op ( which YES I KNOW other COD's had as well) IF YOU ASK ME MW2 KILLS MAG AND NIETHER OF THEM HAVE BEEN RELEASED YET!
how do you make that comment? Tactical? how do you figure with 256 players at once there is going to be ANYTHING close to Tactical? There is nothing tactical about 256 players online RUNNING AND GUNNING. Let alone the stupid people that go on and have no intentions about playing the game AS A TEAM! i foresee a HUGE disappointment with MAG sorry just telling it how i see it!
MW2 i think will be bttr than MAG. 256 players at first got my attention but then i realize its going to be chaotic and a mess wit to many people playin at one time and plus there is alwaysLAG in any online game no matter what !!!

When did you hear me say that MW2 was the only game with single player that I was buying?:|
I didn't, and it's not.
I enjoy the campaign in CoD games, and I'm not an online gamer. I don't know how I can be any more clear.
It's not like i'm writing mag off, but i don't see it being better than MW2... Furthermore, its highly probable that MW2 won't even be the best FPS on the list of shooters scheduled for release in the next 4-5 months (even if it will turn out to be the most popular pick...), and that's coming from a big CoD4 fan.
and if that turns out to be the case, MAG will be the least of my desires...

While that may be true, it was well-crafted and more importantly, it was FUN and ENJOYABLE. Mediocre? How do you say mediocre when all you have seen is a youtube clip? The MAG graphics are not as good, but Zipper has a knack for making up for it in gameplay. MAG has the best command and upgrade structure I have ever seen. It is a larger scale of Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 on the PC. That alone will keep you in game far longer than cycling through the COD upgrade system over and over to get prestige levels. The tactics will far outclass anything in COD which is basically a run-n-gun fest. Add to that the MASSIVE maps with multiple objectives, and I can see very few games playing out the same way. There should be much more variety in how the games play out. In COD, eventually the maps fall into familiar patterns.cod4 was anything but a generic shooter... slotheaterDepends on what you call generic. COD is certainly not trying to be very accurate in weapon or soldier handling. It is also not known for being heavy on tactics.
MW2, mag is really all about the amount of players other than that its not really that different to BF and to the people who say mag is tatical i think you'll be dissapointed its not really that tatical at all andI would know ive played it.
"Add to that the MASSIVE maps with multiple objectives, and I can see very few games playing out the same way. There should be much more variety in how the games play out"
wrong every game pretty much plays out the same
Man... you guys...
Both games are generic in the sense that they are FPS.
MW2 holds graphics over MAG, but MAG has large scale battles.
MW2 is all about close quarters, running and gunning.
MAG is about tactics, wither people say otherwise. If you don't work as a team, and do your own thing, you get less experience.
MW2 has a perk system.
MAG has a skill tier, using skill points you gain through leveling up.
MW2 has a cl@ss selection.
MAG has a character customization screen.
MW2 comes out in November.
MAG comes out in January.
2 different games, both First Person Shooters. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses. And with the release dates 2 months apart, just play both and flaming each other.
Most of the people making issues about MAG are 360 owners, so their opinion doesn't count.
