Well... at least I would like to think so. If not in popularity, than at least in player scale! when your smallest match is 32 vs 32, you know you got a big game on your hands.

I was in the beta since August, and it really is a GREAT game. ESPECIALLY if you get a group of friends/people you play well with. Coordinating attacks it's really something to behold.

If you haven't yet, I suggest you download the open beta right now! then update it (the update can take a while) and try it out tomorrow! Servers come up tomorrow (the 4th) at 5am PST (8am EST) and will be on 24/7 untill midnight on the 10th! don't miss your chance to miss this years biggest FPS!

Wow.. that reads like a commercial, LOL. but really, I mean, What other console FPS has more than 100 players on one map without divulging into chaos?

Of course it's getting a negative reception here. It's a PS3 exclusive. You were expecting wild fanfare, maybe? heh. I know more people =/= better game, but like i said, I was in the beta, and I find it REALLY fun, especially if you get a group together and use tactics. It's not like other FPS games where you can just lone wolf it and hope to be praised as the best player. K/D in mag is not NEARLY as important as W/L and objectives completed. Those are the things that make a good leader. Try the beta, and see for yourself. If you don't have a PS3, then .. well.. what are you waiting for? :P (it was sarcasm, I am well aware that in System Wars, fanboys run rampant)

Maybe this saying needs to be applied to the lems who states that XBL>PSN because of more features. I'm not bashing you, but just saying that lems need to practice what they preach.

On Topic: I played the MAG beta and while it's no peaches and cream, it's definitely a breath of fresh air. It's a game that falls into a saturated genre, but does very original things (note: i didn't say revolutionary;). I'll be highly surprised if it gets anything above AA, but it doesn't really deserve anything below A to me

I hope it's good and can't wait to try it but if the number of players was what made a great game we would all be playing the pile of pc titles that was doing it back when it was the big fad 5 or 6 years ago.

Instead nobody played those games and tbo they are hardly even remembered.

When talking about an online service, more features actually is a plus :? Same way PS3 is better with multimedia, because it has more multimedia features.

I was in the beta too.. in September / October.. Only played it for a few weeks though until Uncharted 2 and Demon Souls came out.. The game was great from what I played of it. Its a hard core game team based game like Socom but has respawns (what i can't stand about socom.. I actually like respawn maps in socom but they are non ranked and very few... same with counterstrike.. ) I enjoy shooters like warhawk , KZ2, Resistance 2, etc... and can't stand COD MW2 online. MAG will be great!

or maybe most of those "overpraised" exclusives is in well deserving of the praises because from what i seen here, KZ2, UC2, and MGS4 are the only games i seen to be praised to the heavens and back, and all 3 of those game have very well professional reviews across the board

Saying that a game is made better by more players is not the same as saying a service is made better by more features. What kind of logic is that? :|

Hm? Oh I've never said they're bad. But lets be realistic, when threads were popping up comparing the graphics of those 3 games to games like Crysis, that would definitely be overpraising. Those are all very good games in their own rights. Though I admittedly didn't enjoy UC2 nearly as much as most people seem to. MGS4 and KZ2 are excellent though (except for MGS4's story... blah). In general though, the forum leans towards praising PS3 exclusives more than other exclusives. And any group will overpraise its exclusives, so logically the (currently) most prominent group does the most overpraising. That sort of thing.

why even post that with hopes that nobody is going to respond to it? service having more features is always a plus while a game having a huge player count isn't.

I know. What do they find fun in a game with such great balance and polish, diverse game modes and entertaining gameplay. I can only question their credibility.

Halo is cool. Too cool for school, in fact. So much so I'd love to ditch school in favor of playing Halo: Reach.

I played the beta and I wasn't too impressed. I will definitely not be buying this game new, but maybe (and thats a big maybe) used a few months down the road if it seems to catch on.

I think the concept is interesting. Considering how many people don't do team work on several multiplayer games (GeoW2, U2, etc), I don't see how this could be any good unless you play it with a bunch of friends. Unfortunately, none of my friends has a PS3, so I'll probably just pass on this one.

i agree strongly with the OP, i've also been in since august. you would not believe how fun the game is..... the reason it seems to be viewed negatively here is because it scares the hell out of lemmings..... but anyways, the game isn't usually all that great to be honest, but just every once in a while you get into one of those games where all the platties, squad leaders and the OIC have mics, and it's just awesome. it actually seems like a war.... "squads 4 and 6 attack the left bunker, squad 8 slip in behind and take out the artillery, platoon 2 launch an open charge to pull their forces away from the others." "got it, dropping strafing run on right bunker" then there is of course the massive wars out on the more open areas... the game is designed to discourage rambo, but every once in a while, all your enemies will be reloading or facing the other way, and you can charge out onto that freeway going full martyr, empty your ak-103 into the first 3, your kurtis into the second, drop smoke, reload everything and throw your frags, run out empty it again then be pummelled down after taking out a whole platoon alone. name any other game you can do that in...

Well... at least I would like to think so. If not in popularity, than at least in player scale! when your smallest match is 32 vs 32, you know you got a big game on your hands.

I was in the beta since August, and it really is a GREAT game. ESPECIALLY if you get a group of friends/people you play well with. Coordinating attacks it's really something to behold.

If you haven't yet, I suggest you download the open beta right now! then update it (the update can take a while) and try it out tomorrow! Servers come up tomorrow (the 4th) at 5am PST (8am EST) and will be on 24/7 untill midnight on the 10th! don't miss your chance to miss this years biggest FPS!

Wow.. that reads like a commercial, LOL. but really, I mean, What other console FPS has more than 100 players on one map without divulging into chaos?

I was in the beta too.. in September / October.. Only played it for a few weeks though until Uncharted 2 and Demon Souls came out.. The game was great from what I played of it. Its a hard core game team based game like Socom but has respawns (what i can't stand about socom.. I actually like respawn maps in socom but they are non ranked and very few... same with counterstrike.. ) I enjoy shooters like warhawk , KZ2, Resistance 2, etc... and can't stand COD MW2 online. MAG will be great!

yeah you feel rewarded after getting akill in Kz2, and games like battlefield bad company. cod its just run and gun, die, respawn, run and gun.....

More players =/= good game

Honestly....and from what i see among the SW posters....its getting negative reception here..

Of course it's getting a negative reception here. It's a PS3 exclusive. You were expecting wild fanfare, maybe? heh. I know more people =/= better game, but like i said, I was in the beta, and I find it REALLY fun, especially if you get a group together and use tactics. It's not like other FPS games where you can just lone wolf it and hope to be praised as the best player. K/D in mag is not NEARLY as important as W/L and objectives completed. Those are the things that make a good leader. Try the beta, and see for yourself. If you don't have a PS3, then .. well.. what are you waiting for? :P (it was sarcasm, I am well aware that in System Wars, fanboys run rampant)

This place has more cows than anything else, so if anything it'd get more praise...

The general consensus (here at least) is that MAG won't be that good. After playing the beta, I agree. It'll be ok, but nothing spectacular. An AE at best, which isn't really a bad thing.

although MAG is a cool game, it can't stand against BF:BC 2, aliens vs predator or Halo:reach, apart from the amount of players online, MAG does nothing really special that put's it above any other FPS being released this year, the thing is , with games like arma 2 around 256 players doesn't seem that impressive

I don't think having 256 players would be any more enjoyable than having a regular 32 player match.
