Why is the open beta for MAG just 7 days? It just does not seem like enough time to get adjusted to every nuance of the game. I really hope Zipper listened to everyones constructive criticism about the core gameplay mechanics from the first beta run and ignored most of the complaints about the graphics (except graphical glitches). I understand the graphics are what they are because of the number of players in a map. A few things bugged me however when watching gameplay videos. I didn't like how your character would hold some of the weapons. It looked a little goofy to me and the weapon sounds seemed a little weak or not realistic at times. I just hope Zipper didn't rush this out the door because I am sure everyone could have waited until the summer for a more polished game. Looking forward to January 4th and maybe even January 26th. PS One last thing. Why isn't there a 4th faction to round out the other 3? 64 players x 4 factions= 256.
