IGN mad cause MAG is not MW2

[QUOTE="heysharpshooter"]

[QUOTE="illegalimigrant"] Hello casual gamer I was waiting for you. Let the hardcore gamers talk please. Go sit down at the noob table with the other kids.illegalimigrant

I wasn't aware being a "hardcore gamer" meant throwing out ridiculous insults and trying very, very hard to talk down to someone.

Face it: MW2 owns you. You sit around all day and whine and complain about how "casual" it is. You attack those who enjoy it. You think it has no power over you. But in reality, you spend time on the interent obsessing about it.

MW2 owns you.

I have played major fps games since doom 2, and mw2 so far has the best MP. BF2's MP is nothing in front of MW/MW2, you can own everyone if you know how to control aircraft, and in few maps, ppl do nothing but waitting to get on an aircraft, and i see ppl killing their teammates if they dont get a plane.

btw auto blood recovery and killing streak are invented by COD. Dont blame MW2 if you get owned hard on it.

anyway, it's just my opinion, however stats (sales and online population) tells who's real FPS king now.

And I'm glad its not cause Modern Warfare is too nob friendly.

That is gross, sir, I don't care to know how people choose to play call of duty. I assumed everyone used their hands.

Those are some fricken' absurd complaints, especially the last one (assuming your paraphrasing is indeed acurate).

[QUOTE="illegalimigrant"]OK but what where you expecting that this game did not fulfill? Do not even talk about the 256 battles cause you can't play them till level 10. And if you played it in your friend's house you probably only played it for 10 minutes... Got owned and complained of how its not like MW2 where you can run and gun.gamefan67

How to play MAG

1. TEAMWORK IS EVERYTHING!

If you don't have Teamwork. You're playing the game WRONG!

2. Listen to your Commanding Officer!

If you would listen and attack the base that you are assigned to then chances are you'll win. oh yeah you need more teamwork for this too.

3. NEVER LEAVE YOUR TEAM!

If you leave your Team you're like the animal that's away from the Herd that's being chased by lions. Remember TEAMWORK IS EVERYTHING!

get the picture?

I love how haters refuse to acknowledge MW2's utter dominance over online competittive FPS.

IGN is crap. Just look at what they said about Call of Duty 7...

"With the Call of Duty series due an off year (apologies to Treyarch, but that's just the way it is) it seems highly likely that there's going to be a changing of the order in first-person shooters in 2010."

So IGN is now buying into that IW is better than Treyarch BS now... pretty sad in my opinion. Oh well, there's a reason I use Gamespot and not IGN.

They believe in facts sir..... IW is so much better than Treyarch....FACT

ON TOPIC:I didnt like MAG beta,but thats me

GTFO iw is better than trey arch fact? COD4 and W@W r the same. What's the difference between W@W and cod4? Different guns? STFU

IGN SUCKS/ and you FAIL.

TELL ME ABOUT IT. How in the world is Mw2 even that popular?

They talk about how great the game is but when they get pwned by someone else they talk about how the game is bull crap and stuff. Ex: Getting Cammandoed.

I can't see how any serious gamer or FPS fan can hold MW2 in such high regard, it's such a mainstream and casual game meant for people that have no experience with FPS. I'm sure MAG will require much more skill than MW2.

Meh, I don't take them seriously as they're the idiots who gave the PC port of Modern Warfare 2 a 9.5.

No you actually fail.

Sure CoD4 andWAW we're similar games guess which one came out first. CoD4 did,and all Treyarch did was put WW2 back into the game, which made most people angry. Than they copied everything about CoD4 online and put it in their game.

It is a fact IW>Treyarch sorry buddy.

MAG is very different to MW2, and that's a good thing. From my experiance COD games are very casual and often have annoying players. Sure, not everyone in MAG was playing properly and using teamwork, but lots of people do. And the command structure is amazing! I just love being platoon leader and leading 30 odd men is great fun.

every fps is going to be compared to mw2.

[QUOTE="xXDante666Xx"]

*fanboy armor on*

Yeah don't worry about it, the comparisons to MW2 will stop by the end of the year when Halo: Reach slaps everyone in the face and makes them wake up from this ridiculous dreamworld they have going on.

*fanboy armor off*

I have to hop on the hype train, any loyal spartan would.

And many things mentioned are just idiotic and anyone that has played the game for more than an hour knows this.

Some of the editors wrote that is frustrating when he dies since if he kills someone their teamates will attack him and destroy him. No **** that is the point of this game teamwork. You can't go rambo and expect to survive. If you do go commando you have to realize that your only usefulness to the team is to divert attension not nessesarly to get kills. For commando gameplay you have to hide. Place booby traps. Shoot with silensed guns and retreat when they notice you and hopefully not get killed.

I don't think that's what he meant per say, I believe he was simply stating you couldn't kill someone without getting killed immediately after, which is true for what I've played of it.

Another one wrote this game i is perfect for those that like team killing I was killing my team members like crazy and no one voted me out. This will probably piss people off. What can I say, why would you do that? Is this a reviewer or a 5 year old kid. Seriously why would anyone start killing their own teamates and then complain about team killing? Its not modern warfare we get it. And I'm glad its not cause Modern Warfare is too nob friendly. I want a game that does not hold my hand.

He didn't complain about TKing, he simply said no one was voting him out, so it could be a potential problem.

And the last one was pretty hillarious and anyone that has played the game knows this.

The guy wrote. My concern is that this game is going to be full of campers. Sniper in this game are almost useless unless you use them as scouts so we wont have sniper campers. Firing gives out your position even if you have a silenser because of the tracer rounds. Even if you kill some the teamates will know your position and destroy you with numbers. Its hard to camp since people that camp have no one near to revive them. If you find a good position to kill peopel with it only works for about 2 kills then you need to find another one so you wont get knifed in the back.

No the last guy is actually correct, depending on the map decent snipers can dominate especially the jungle level where you have to go into the pyramid, the beginning objectives leave you extremely exposed to sniper fire, and the point he was making was that there's no way to really tell where the person is (which is incorrect) but his other comments on the issue are legitimate concerns.

And the most common complaint is that it does not feel like MW2.

Well if you like noob friendly games where one player can run and gun everyone then by all means play MW2 if you want a game that requires team work and communication as well as tactics and strategy to survive then MAG is your game.

[QUOTE="GreyFoXX4"][QUOTE="gamefan67"] I love how you try to put people down in defense of this game. Does this somehow make you feel better about yourself? And no I played the game at My house on My PS3.........I never really had high expectations for this game to begin with....sure there is a lot of teamwork involved, but the gunplay feels very last gen. I have stated before that the gunplay feels like I'm playing a free MMOFPS (Combat Arms comes to my mind), sniping is not that great, firing from the hip is just about as accurate as firing down the sights in my experience....as a matter of fact it is more accurate because when you aim down the sights your aim is effected by extreme recoil.The game did deliver on 256 players but the game just is not fun in my experience. I actually love team-based gameplay but M.A.G. just feels like it is missing something to me. Truthfully I would rather play Modern Warfare 2, BFBC2 (that beta owned), Battlefield 1943, KZ2, and God dare I say.....Halo 3:o games I have actually had fun playing:odelta3074

The part that made me laugh was the complant about campers and how it seems MW2 doesint suffer from this problem which is straight up bs. I have nothing against MW2.

Anywho those wondering what fixes MAG team made after the recent beta here is the list

Gameplay
· Added ability for player to use knife during a reload animation.
· Applied significant tuning adjustments for all weapons and armor.
· Increased sprint duration before tiring by 30%.
· Lowered XP requirements for levels 2 thru 4.
· Lowered level-entry restrictions for Sabotage from Level 3 to Level 2.
· Lowered level-entry restrictions for Acquisition from Level 5 to Level 4.
· Lowered level-entry restrictions for Domination from Level 10 to Level 8.
· Enabled proper level requirements for unlocking headgear, facegear, and uniforms.
· Fixed problem with recoil/firing animation that kept playing for a few seconds after the player fires an automatic gun and uses knife swipe simultaneously.

Interface
· Fixed bug where incapacitated players' nametags would occasionally disappear.
· Repositioned onscreen weapons for improved field of view.
· Armory items (facegear/ headgear/ uniforms) reordered.
· Removed helmets from "Loadout 3" for all factions.

Graphics
· Made significant increase in framerate during player-heavy games.
· Changed light settings for all environments.
· Polished recoil effect for better realism.
· Fixed offset muzzle flash effect.
· Tuned camera to shake more realistically when hit by bullets.
· Adjusted "blur" effect for both normal sights and iron sights.
· Added alternate reload animation.
· New "light scatter" treatment for all skies.
· Repaired various "weapon clipping" issues.
· Enacted several particle fogging adjustments.

Audio
· Switched first-person weapon sounds to true stereo.
· Moved first-person character interactions and weapon switches to true stereo.
· Tweaked sounds effects relating to landing on surfaces.

Technical
· Added error display and queue panel updates to notify player when they've encountered a "join game" failure.
· Made various server stability fixes and tweaks.

I love how haters refuse to acknowledge MW2's utter dominance over online competittive FPS.

At least Modern Warfare had a campaign this game doesn't and I do think some people like games like Halo,Gears of War and Call of Duty not only for multiplayer but the campaign too. MAG is just one big multiplayer game thats all.

Different maps, different storyline, different characters...you know

Even though I really didnt like the game (the beta, at least), how can the editor and chief of IGN say that he really appreciates his beloved MW2 more, but then criticized this game for "campers"?????

So, in one sentence, you claim that different games are created for different audiences, but in another, you slam IGN and "casual" gamers for liking MW2 and not liking MAG as much as you do? I think maybe you've answered your own question. Opinions are like A-holes, and yours isn't any more correct than anyone else's. Even the "casuals" who you look down on so much. I've been playing video games for 25+ years, and I prefer MW2 over what I played of MAG in the beta. Sorry if that makes me "casual." Guess you'll have to get over it.

[QUOTE="illegalimigrant"][QUOTE="Nedemis"] and yet I'm sure you're one of those who considers Team Fortress 2 hardcore, don't you. I've been gaming for 27 years now and I personally think that IW did an incredible job with MW2 and only a fool would say otherwise. BigJerm1
