this essencially confirms a subscritption fee, since every single MMOFPS has one.

Nice, I need something to help replace Tribes not as an MMO, but large scale battles.

If they charge monthly than I will be sure not to play it, otherwise it looks interesting.Kahuna_1

this, i like the idea of MAG and everyone, but im not playing to play per month (i do play for live though :P)

I was never really that intrested by it anyway, a monthly subcription kind of sealed the deal for me. I'll be happy with SOCOM: Confrontation as my online shooter of choice.

MMO's are sadtherealmcc0y

Planetside was awesome.

and all of them are crap as a result, since the budget for the game becomes tiny.

Its quite Simple really...you can choose two of the three descriptors for a game.

Free

Good

MMO

but you cant have all three.

the only exception is guild wars, which is all instanced and thus designed very differently to all other MMO's...and this design certianly would not fit MAG.

kay...sept thats not a fact thats opinion, flyff is a damn good mmorpg and its used by millions *something like 4 million or higher*

Maplestory is a damn good mmorpg as well and its used by even higher numbers.

you can have free, good, and mmo and thats a simple fact.

Of course its MMO i would like to see reactions of some ppl around here that started topics like

"when will pc users have fps with 200+ players" etc

Than we said "we allready have,its MMOFPS ,we had it since 2004 lol"

and they said "lol its not MMO its fps" ...

Yeah right :roll:

they are played by a lot of people because they are completly free, not because they are good....the fact of the matter is that the average free to play MMO isnt even close quality wise to a subscription based MMO.

im sorry.. but i dont understand, how is this going to be an fps mmo? what is that even like?VendettaRed07

its not exacly a very hard concept to understand...just wiki Planetscape or World War 2 online, and you will understand how these games work.

"Put simply, MAG - whatever title it comes out under - will be a mercenary combat MMO. It will more than likely carry SOCOM branding, as Zipper Interactive is behind it. And if so, it could be called SOCOM: Shadow War or SOCOM: Zero."

There are allready some MMO fps for pc but they arent verry popular

.who said the Agency wont have a fee?

Infinity threw up an idea for a Call of Duy MMO, I am sure it was just an idea and I couldn't imagine the bashing on that if it ever came out. :roll:

Guild Wars.....

I already brought up Guild Wars....Guild Wars is entirely instanced, which is how they avoid online fees, its also why Guild Wars is not a true MMO....

Using instances to avoid online fees is not something possible for MAG.

If it were on XBL the fee would be coverd already.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

Ew. Pass and same goes for Conan and KOTOR 3, I despise MMOs.DireOwl

I'm with you. No interest in this game at all anymore.

first party MMO's wont be free on live either...I dont know where you got the idea that they would be.

because MMO's are extradanarily expensive to run, and thus the assumption can be made that all MMO's, first party or not, will have subscription fees.

[QUOTE="white_sox"][QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"]If it were on XBL the fee would be coverd already.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

MMO = Bad

MMO on Console = Worse.

I don't know if this game will even be worth considering.

because charging = MOAR $$$$$$$$$

cows are allergic to paying to play online games.

so MAG is a confirmed flop.
