For that to happen you have to actually own a PS3 first.

I dont want MAG to get a nine, from the looks of it the game is a solid AA title AAA seems far too generous but heck, Games like Resistance 2 and PDZ got 9.0s :?

I'm in the same boat.

MAG seem a little too hardcore for me right now. Don't really have any time for it.

I agree from the the review in progress. It seems like it will either be AAE or AAAE.

I am actually surprised. I love the game, but the 30 min previews they've done the last day made me think they were in the middle. He would be praising stuff at one point, then seem unsure the next. Great score, its what the game deserves.

I think Resistance 2 deserved a 9.0 the Cmpaign was solid (my only prob with it was the poor lighting) the co-op was unique and the multiplayer is a blast, rankedTDM is awesome on it!

R2 gets too much flak. I think it deserved it's 9 because the package is pretty good. I actually liked the single-player outside of the telegraphing of upcoming enemies because of the weapon placement. Coop is top notch in R2. I think MAG will score a solid AAE here

Absolutely hilarious the roller coaster path the MAG hype has taken.

First it was OMG 256 playerz!!!

Then people played the closed beta: Rough around the edges but its a beta; some lovers and some haters

Open Beta: OMG MAG suckz hard it won't even get A!!!11

Final Product: MAG is a great onlineonly multiplayer shooter.

Just like I've been saying all along. Of course that won't stop haters from continuing to hate. But oh well I wish I didn't have so many damn bills to pay right now or else I'd pick this up.

I agree. R2 was solid. I really want a final Resistence to come out. A really fleshed out one. Glad MAG is picking up good scores, i had my doubts for it, probably buy when the price drops.

Edit: I always thought of this game in parallel with BC. And now that this review has confirmed it, i'm not thinking, 'hmmm...if i'm definitely getting BC2, do i really need this?'

He really improved a lot if you watch the videos in order. Jeff was playing much better in the 2nd video than he was in the 1st.

I'm guessing 7.5- 8.0 from GS. But if it's anything like the beta, it deserves no more than 6.5. I probably would've gotten this game if it wasn't for the beta. Ugh, it was horrible. (And no, I am not a newb.)

OK, question for those who own the game. I only played the beta once or twice, but wanted to know if anybody who played Warhawk thinks this is better or worse than Warhawk?

They are diferent, Warhawk is more fast-paced while MAG is more strategic. I prefer MAG since i only like to play fast paced shooters on my pc :P

Personally I like MAG better, but then again I didn't enjoy Warhawk all that much.

Its pretty innovative for what it is, an online shooter hyped as an online shooter. The leadership abilities and large scale combat are definitely awesome things, while the strategic team play is much different from twitch shooters like Call of Duty. If anything it gets at least an 8 since GS gave ODST and Resistance 2, 9's.

been playing it for hours today :S was supposed to do some studying :(

but anyway, I just wanted to say that i did a 256 player battle and it really was exciting! I thought it would be unorganized chaos but it was manageable :)

8.0-8.5 in my books

lol i remember when this game was announced at E3 and everyone was calling it such a megaton, lol, now some are gloating over a 4/5 stars AA rating. I guess we better watch out when it gets AA here at GS. :lol:

Idream2010

The whole megaton label quickly vanished with the closed and open beta, people going this game sucks lol flop confirmed but hey it seems to be AA material now instead, I guess doubters maybe will get owned. Are you one of them?
