MAG is a game where patients is important to see you through the first few levels until you start to spec up then... wow
What really makes the game great is the interaction with with other players through talking and reviving and in my opinion headsets should be compulsory.
Once you start to up grade your weapons and attachments the game becomes easier and you spend less time re-spawning and more time getting into the game and helping to achieve some of the missions. Time spent playing really does help you to learn the game basics, map lay outs and best weapon load outs.
All said I found MAG to be a enjoyable and addictive game off probably not the same quality as CODMW2 but maybe a little less repetitive
