PS3 exclusive might I mention =)

let the war begin!

This might sound like i'm BSing but i had an idea of an MMO war game about 1.5 years ago that had almost the same set up as MAG. i called it Ground Zero.
but when i saw that M.A.G. was being made in an issue of Gameinformer i said damn it cuz i had the same idea.

There are differences from M.A.G. and my idea

It just blows my mind how this game will work out. They promised no lag even with 256 players with a stable high framerate. Everything that you hear/see is a result of another player doing something in the game. So basically no artificial CPU sounds which is a pretty cool touch in my opinion.

this is where you need a ethernet connection and soem serious preformnce by your computer.

if i can remember from the article in Gameinformer you actually earn ranks. you get to a certain rank you actually become the commander of the other players in your squad. the higher your rank the more people that are under your command. (just like the real army)

IDK, I mean a console FPS... I was feed up with Killzone 2. I just hate to aim with a controller. The mouse+keyboard seems more natural to me.. COD modern warfare 2 or Battlefield Bad company 2 anyone?

It's like a COD mmo though seriously. Just all online playing

Or a giant Battlefield 2 ^_^! depends on how you see it. I would go with battlefield cause you have tanks and helis.

Aren't there helis and other vehicles in MAG? That's what I'm seein

Ya me too, I was talking about modern warfare where it's only infantry.

I think if this game kicks off really good (like it looks like its going to do) i would like to see blizzard go in the same direction with their mystirious MMO...minus the modern warfare FPS type game.

But this game look kick ass and can't wait to try it. i'm not sure if you are able to fly the helicopter just drop from them. the tanks not sure but i think your just infantry. Its a Co-op game and it looks mainly in towns so tank are kind of useless. from what i read the missions are mainly either get to a point or guard a point.

This game will flop.

Terror speaketh the truth. MMO Exclusive to only one console won't work out very well.

What's that supposed to mean?

I belive MAG will revolutionize. Just watch the vids, you can't watch'em without saying, "Damn that's gonna fucking own."

P.S. Don't be mad it's only for P3.

lol ive been out of the console games for so long now I forgot about that stuff hahahah.....but the game doenst look so revolutionary that id be mad at not owning a ps3.....tho im soon considering getting a slim but jesus why cant they make em backwards compatible with ps2 games again :(.....i missed so many games on the ps2 cuz of d2 its not even funny......

Yea thats the deal-breaker for most people. If you get an old 20gb or 60gb P3 like mine, it's backward compatible.
