I think that Mag and Uncharted are the PS3's best games they showed. If mag works out then it does look good. The only thing I wonder how long can it sustain 256 people? After 6 months will it only be 60 on each side? From what it seemed you almost have to have the full amount of people.

128 each side- 4 platoons-people ont he helicopters-anti aircraft guns and so on

The guns sounded weak and it just looked incredibly boring. I'm still on the fence about this game.

got no doubts, 1st day buy for me if it gets positive previews and maybe some positive feedback from an eventual beta testing phase...

Visually though not on KZ2 levels, it does look good considering the huge maps & hundreds of players online it will have..

Look dull. I'm not seeing the attraction. I just think people are stupid and they see "250 players online" and jump all over it. I honestly couldn't care how many are online, getting 250 people into a game will be tricky but getting 250 people to cooperate and work together as teams is an impossible task. ESPECIALLY for a network majorly lacking microphones.

The game is going to be one giant cluster **** and it just seems to play like a normal run of the mill shooter. I saw nothing special.

I don't know it seems like its all seperate when i get told its actually 256 people againest each other instead of just you and your team incapable of interacting beyond orders and such with other teams and enemies of other teams.

Like if i wanted in a game, i could airstrike an enemy team fighting with another team, or unload some bullets into them.

Does the game support squads like Battlefield series? If it doesn't, then I wouldn't want to be in a game listening to 128 people talking back and forth lol.

i understand your concerns and partially agree... However its not the game's fault if people forget they are on a team and just go solo.. this happens in practically all shooters which offer team-based mp..

So if there is a game with a huge amount of players & offers an interesting way of squad-based co-op, its fine for me... as long as devs manage to create huge varied maps & solid gameplay..

It looks pretty good but I want to play it and find out how it feels. Also since it's just a multiplayer game most likely the game will be cheaper, maybe they should bundle it with another headset, that would be sweet.

Thats over doing it. I agree the graphics aren't the best out there, but definitely not "last-gen" I think people have forgotten what last gen looks like. Boot up your Xbox/PS2 and remind yourself :?

There's squads and platoons, but I dont know if theres a commander controlling them all. Atleast Platoon leaders>Squad leaders> Soldier.

Why are you Sony fanboys so hyped about this game? Graphically it holds nothing to Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield Bad Co. 2 or Halo ODST. From a technical standpoint, why does having 128 per side equate to a stellar gaming experience for you? To me it sounds like nothing but a cluster *@#! and on top of that, it will be a spawn campers paradise. Imo, only the most hardcore need apply for this game and I can see serious issues with actually getting full games. To me this game smells like a 6 or 7.

I do not think graphics are bad for the type of game it is. It is large and with a lot of people so it will not be graphics king or close. The problems I see are- 1-Could turn in a zerg fest and matches last 10 min every single time. I could see it now just everyone on O storms north side for example and nothing the D could do to stop that many. 2-Anyone that plays MMOs and has done a 20 or 40 man raid understands how tough it is to get that many people to do anything at all. It just plain sux. Now your talking about maybe 128 people. So it could be a huge mass of chaos. 3-How long till you can not even fill a game? After 6 months will there only be 60 people per side on maps that are supposed to have twice that? After a year will it even be possible to get a match since so few show? That may not happen but it could also. 4-Do you hear 128 people? If so imagine how many wannabe gangstas you will hear screaming. If you do not hear everyone then how do you organize the groups? 5-Lag. I know when I do Wintergrasp in WoW when there is around 200 people near the fort fighting 3/4 the people can barely move. What happens when all 256 in mag are right next to eachother?

I have no concerns. I am just saying those 5 things i mentioned for example could be problems. They may have solutions for those and other problems of that large of online pvp.

I wouldn't write it off entirely already, but I was bored of it about 10 seconds in. From what I saw there was pretty much no variety at all in the squad makeout, just a huge clump running at another huge clump. Didn't look or sound fun.

While 128p voip would just be retarded beyond all belief, the comms system shouldn't be the one from Battlefield. They should take the comms system from KZ2/SOCOM/(Maybe some other games I haven't played). Basically you can talk to your squad no matter where they are, but you can also talk to people near you regardless of team or squad. I can't even recall the amount of times I've watched an entire squad in BF get taken out by a well placed claymore because I wasn't in their squad and couldn't type it in in time... :(

it should be interesting. However, its going to be hard to keep the gameplay interesting with that many people playing. It might be hard to have any sense of teamwork. They should break you into smaller divisions and have each division complete a task for. Of course, you shoud be able to walk away from your group and fight in the battle a 1/4 mile away, but doing so would be a risk because it would leave your division short handed, but would help the other division accomplish a mission.

I'm just hoping they don't slam us with DLC, cause if that's the case, I'm not touching it with a 10 foot pole.
