MAG will be coming to PS3 soon, are other consoles able to handle huge online mayhem??? I already count the Wii out because it doesn't even have 16 player, it only has 10 player. But the 360 has a shot at least, PC could handle as well. I want more large shooter based games, this is the first of many to come. What do you think?

The 360 could do it , but the graphics would have to look like Animal Crossing's or something along those lines. The Wii could do it .... yada , yada , yada .... but look like Combat for the Atari 2600.

I won't know until I play the game, I never received the beta :(

I wouldn't want 256 players in every mutiplayer game but some games like battlefield it would be golden. I also wouldn't mind it in a Halo game. Of course if you are going to 256 it would have to be a huge map so the action doesn't get bogged down.

PC, 360 and PS3 can all handle massive multiplayer games. There may need to be some sacrifices on all three, but all in all, they all possess the ability to do mmo games.

of course maps will be larger and hold many more places, but think about Urban conflicts, 10 story buildings with a dozen rooms, you could make it a team base, actual building destruction, vehicles can be more usefull, a big battle should be more fun than spawn killing over and over, thats why Halo is getting boring. if you could combine Red Faction: Guerilla with MAG, you get the most realistic shooter.

This is diffently possible on the 360. I would think that Msoft is waiting to see how well MAG at 256 player will do. They might see that 256 is just to many players, and release a 128 player game in the furture to go against MAG. Its not that the hardware can't handle it, just 256 players opens the door for to many problems, technically and socially. How many times in the beta of MAG does the room have 256 players? Can you imagine all the players simultaneously throwing granades? The ahrdware on the PS3 and 360 can handle it, but the servers will be strained.

with U2 struggling to maintain over 10,000 gamers online and most PS3 owner preferring SP, it make me think MAG is DOOMED
