MAG

This is a new game for the PS3, a dissapointment to most of you probably.

It can host matches with 256 players..

Here is a trailer from their site: http://www.us.playstation.com/MAG/

Do want


(and will get once I'm stationed)

even if it has one of the most unoriginal titles ever


seriously? Massive Action Game?

getting it definetly!

^_^

I think I will also get it, although I have zero clue on how to set up PS3 online...

plug in ethernet


good to go

O.o

Doesn't it cost money?

no.

PSN is free.

But its a FAR inferior service to XBL.

I'm getting it, I've been following it.

I can't believe there hasn't been a thread on it yet,

Oh no....

I searched

FIRST

I think that 200 players is just overkill.
More players isn't necessarily better. It will probably lag like shit.

Actually, depending on the size of the battlefield, it might be enough to fill the entire map with action. Everywhere you go will we a firefight.

And im sure they thought of that Ukurse.

Then were do you spawn?

Im sure, like in most FPS games, there will be a line..

The line/ wall of a group that will be impassable until you kill them. Behind that line is where you shall spawn Ukurse.

That got me thinking, a awesome game mode would be like search and destroy, only 1 life. On a much grander scale of course..

What?
Sorry, I have no idea what you mean?

Uhh..

Well when two armies face off usually there is a front.

So there will be an invisible and impassable line that no one can pass.
So no flanking?

And also I was just thinking and this game could actually be pretty epic if created right, hopefully they take their time and make a good game, not a gay half finished one.

No I ment there will be a line of infanrty! Not exactly but it will be hard to get past that force, meaning the people can respawn behind them

in MAG all matches are asymmettrical defense style maps.

Generally you're also segregated from others due to the command tree. In all likelihood, throughout the match, you'll directly interact with maybe 3 other squads, each consisting of 4 players.

Actually read GI's article on the game so you can understand how it all breaks down.
