MAG might be horrible on 360 but not fully due to hardware...

Can MAG be done on the 360? I think the main reason why most cows would say no is because they automatically think, hardware...but no.

First of all- lets examine the concept of MAG- the big factor that's meant to drive the gameplay... "CO-operation" DO you think all the immature 7 year olds in XBL would be able to co-operate and play with squads and take orders? I don't think so but that's not a factor to my opinion.

Second--- Lets take the 360's Network: Do you think the game wouldn't feel like a powerpoint with all the lag- if there's any? WHich there will most likely be.

Third of all: Mag doesn't just feature pretty warzone simulation with helicopters floating around and enemies dropping by parachutes. There are lots of background scripts and commands and components running to create what you see. There's management and tracking of character actions...There's communication across the network between the 256 players... DO you think the 360 can handle that without sputtering? I don't know.

Thats just the way I see it.

Oh, and yeah on the side note...Lemmens, stop hiding behind ME2. And sheep....*Facepalm...

And we never hyped MAG too above 7...Hell, i even posted about how stupid and annoying the beta was to ME and I was cursed out by other cows so no one overhyped the game so its not a flop. I'm actually really surprised.

FFXI on 360. Supports up to 3000 players.

it's all based on network configuration.

TC i have to agree with you,

8.0 is a great score, For a game of this scale, its a good score since its the first ever 200+ player game on a console.

Its a great accomplishment, and seriously we dont know if it can be done on the 360.

all these are assumptions and speculations , let's just skip that matter people, the game won't be made on the x360 even if it's possible, proving wether it's possible or not is pointless.

Is it really 256 players running around the map?

I'm sure I saw someone post on here saying it was 64.

lol xbox live has much more communication then PSN and i dont know where you guys pull this "7 year olds" BS from. there are many adults playing and not every 7 year old is bad. Also 360can use dedicated servers for games like MAG so stop acting like 360 is stuck with p2p. it can handle MAG as good as ps3 but maybe with slight graphics downgrade. MAG would be MUCH better on 360 (even with the slight graphical downgrade) due to better controller.

MAG is nothing special, its basicly the same as a MMO, except scaled down. it looks good because there isnt 1000's of people playing at once in a open world

the 360 most likely could handle MAG but just like MAG it would require a new engine built from the ground up and it would require some heavy investments in servers, also netcode is the most important aspect to making a game like MAG work anyways, that's why MAG had over 1,000 people closed-beta testing the thing for so long

so i think the question is whether Microsoft would even lift a finger to make something like MAG when they're raking in money off of less intensive P2P games

anyways all these "can or can't be done" topics are usually full of **** anyways, the better answer is always simply "it's not on it" as in "i have MP with 256 players, you don't" or "i have Uncharted 2, you don't" or "i have MGS4, you don't" and so-on

LOL, man you really like to push buttons. The guy had some fun on PS2 playing SOCOM and your spouting sales LOL. You really should atleast try and post without the sole purpose of annoyance.

[QUOTE="k25425"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] are you sure its not cows continually bringing this up?WilliamRLBaker

LOL, still at it huh LMAO

You know I do get a good laugh at your posts. Being King at the Top LMAO

First of all - Co operation.

Second -360's Network

Third of all: Rambling.

360 gamers are just as mature as PS3 gamers. That being as a whole, not very. Difference is one faction can voice there maturity, the other must sit in silence.

Xbox Live > PSN at everything. Fair enough some PS3 games use dedicated servers, but so? Xbox 360 games do too ... The PS3 boasts few more dedicated servers then the 360.

Lastly, i have no idea what your third reason is getting at.
