That's a great decision to go down that road...As he said earlier..."MAG will needs lots of people to feed it" ...A fee would have impacted how many people would have purchased/stayed with the game..

Good looking...

lol for a second I thought the title said " No free"ReaperV7

Very nice but please release before Modern Warfare 2.

It was never going to have a fee, but I'm glad other posters don't have to wonder anymore. :)

Still have no interest in a 256 MP game, but this is still good new.

Xbox 360 on the other hand would have charged for it on top of its XBL fees, e.g. Phantasy Star.xxThyLordxx

Lemmings just got owned...

The dev at the later half sounds like he could be a pretty good voice actor lol

Just saw the vid. very good information with more later in the month. i'm liking the choose one faction aspect of the game but they need to reveal more info on each faction so players wont regret the first one they choose. me in the other hand already support one allegiance.

I agree his point was fanboy dribble, but unambitious? I would say 256 player FPS multiplayer game for a console is quite ambitious.

Plus we don't know if it's going to be generic yet, so your point comes across much the same as his.

This game will fail. Crappy sales everyone will be playing MW2 it will be too expensive for Sony or Zipper to maintain the servers, the online community for this game will be 3 months max. That would only be if it came out 3 months before MW2. People that have heard nothing about this game will see it in store and laugh it off as a generic COD wanna be with a name like M.A.G. Massive Action Game can they at least change the name so it has a chance.

Wow, you seem to really hate it. Most of your points are just things you made up, apart from it not doing as well as MW2, as that's pretty much a given.

How do you know it'll be too expensive for Sony or Zipper? It may well be, but your point has no evidence backing it.

Just a tad more intrested in this game... but I think i'll still like WarHawk better...

Suddenly, the area around my jeans has that afternoon delight feeling. Mag has gone from pass to "want now".

Well the only thing stopping this games from being a hit is the lack of headsets. But only time will tell.

i still say that they are going to have micro-transaction fever, it only makes sense to release the game and have people pay for better weapons and equipment, i could be wrong but i think they are going to try to find a way to make money well after release, let alone the map packs

lol for a second I thought the title said " No free"ReaperV7

This is good news. I might buy it.

So, it's game of the gen again?

A shooter that does nothing new except having a large amount of wiseguys is a reason to get a PS3?

1. The game hasn't shown all of its cards; thus, we cannot judge it until all information is released. 2. Massive battlefield involving 256 people with multiple vehicles has never been done on a console. Only game it can be compared to is battlefield on the PC. It is certainly "new" in this perspective, so there are plenty to be excited for

Listen to IGN's PS3 podcast besides hating PS3 games ok? Greg Miller, Chris Roeper and the Zipper Devs explained M.A.G. on having features that other FPS games do not have.

This certainly isn't worthy of a thread here. Keep it in the PS3 forum.
