A new Q&A sesion on the PSblog confirms MAG won't have monthly fees.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/05/04/mag-your-questions-answered-live-chat-announcement/

Watch the vid, it's pretty good and answers a lot of questions.

I didn't even bother telling anyone, some of the posters here cling to some crazy ideas. It was just a silly notion.

It's nice that we don't have to hear that rumor as if it's fact anymore though.

Yeah. Now I'm eager to see if it will run at a steady 30 FPS!

This is System Wars! Some Hermits and Lemmings will care if this gets AAA. But that's too far in the future to speculate :P.

What? How? :|

So they got owned because MAG doesn't have a monthly free? A game being the way it's supposed to be is ownage? :?

It's because it's exclusive and is an FPS. AAAA hype confirmed.

No. I'm sure he was referring to those who were absolutely sure MAG would have a fee. Very few hermits and lemmings probably fall under that category (maybe even some cows :P).

Sure is, I wouldn't want to overuse my PS3 after all :roll:

Not everyone is interested in every game, and there is zero chance of being AAAA, a small chance for AAA IMO

i'm still not very interested TBH - coming from someone who has always enjoyed large scaled multiplayer games. Quite frankly there is no information about the design that is interesting. Woo big player counts, been there done that, same goes with stat tracking, squads, unlockables commanders, the usual garden variety of weapons and vehicles etc. etc.

Thats good to hear. I know there were rumors of a monthly fee. This is just really good news for PS3 owners.

I'm keeping my eye on it. I play WWII Online and have had battles that are 200 vs 200 with tanks, planes, and infantry. It gets pretty nuts. From what I see from MAG, they have some good communitcation levels. Hopefully it is really good.

I also wanna see if Microsoft will try to counter it. Unless they use dedicated servers though, its not going to happen.

That's why I'm waiting for reviews and player reviews before buying it, don't need to get first day instead just wait like a week or two and see what everyone elses reaction to it before buying it.

That sounds safe. If they pull this off then major kudos!

And i remember a few days ago when this game came under discussion of being overhyped, cows were saying it had no hype at all. So this isn't a big deal right?

I think this is the one game I can convince my COD4/360 buddies to buy a PS3. Really, if the gameplay is good, and there's a constant amount of persistance of leveling, and gaining new things, this will be a match made in heaven for them.

Sounds good, but I will likely wait a while to join in if I ever do. I like online games, but never to be online focused only. Also, I'll wait till the game irons out any issues they may have, and I'm sure there will be some when this game comes out.

Man, I just don't understand some of yalls issues with games that don't have cod4 controls lol. I mean do yall really not play anything else? Yall really can't learn another set of controls for another game really? Man I've been gaming way to long when I can learn another games controls within a level or 2 of the SP. Guess I'm just lucky to be so talented or something lol. But anyway from the reviews MAG's controls are suppose to be just like cod4 for yalls info. Man thats a relief huh, hate for yall to scrap another game just because yall can't learn something new :roll:
