Get Into More Depth With Zipper's MAG

Too bad I don't own a ps3.

"you get to see a lot of guys shooting a lot of other guys."

Sold.

I don't see why everyone is bashing this game.

My ears are already bleeding from the nonstop brown note that will be the lobby room.

been a zipper fan since socom
day one for me

Still think this game is going to crash and burn.

" I don't see why everyone is bashing this game. "

It's Zipper, i wouldn't worry about MAG at all,it will be an awesome game. Hopefully they can make SOCOM 4 and bring back socom,it's been a long time.

One of the most ambitious projects for a console game. But these type of undertakings usually don't fulfill promises. I don't own a ps3 so hopefully they go multiplat or PC or something

I think 16 players is more than enough. Killzone can be way too chaotic with 32 people, and that game has pretty big maps.

what about real life?  how many players are fighting in real life?

This sounds cool, but i still think people will have a DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. attitude to this game even if you get bonus XP or WHATEVS

this is game is gonna be the SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

zipper is going to deliver, they just as good as insomniac and look what they did.

Needs to come with a good mic.

For everyone complaining about the drab colours I thought those jungle stages looked awesome!

zipper has a good record with Socom, BUT the switch to first person and the large scale battles have me worried. Lag is going to be a HUGE issue. That being said this is a day one over modern warfare 2 for me (and that's coming from some1 who played all cod and medal of honors to date including the portable ones)

You won't hear all 125 at the same time, why would you think that?
I'll be keeping my eyes on this, if it works out it could end up being the best game of this generation, unfortunately it's just as likely to fail due to the players as any technical problems. I'll likely be giving it a try.

steroids are illegal...

" @CL60: Whens the last time you saw 128 people against another 128 people? I guess it has to do with everyone being incredibly skeptical of the ambition, I think its possible... But others don't, but then again, seeing is believing! "

Meh, I shall pass. I prefer a much smaller multi player experience. That just seems like too many dudes, a sausage fest even.

Totally agree, give you a better sense of personal competition, rather than a horde of indistinguishable people.  I think its one of the main reasons I love Gears of War so much.

Eagerly waiting for a review

" God.  Can you imagine the 125 people on your team all talking on their mics at the same time?NIGFUCKSHITASDKFJA;SDLFKJIs all you would hear. "

I've never even played a 256 player MP game.  I played some in the ~160 range on PC and they were laggy as shit.  I guess if you count MMOs I have, but they're not known for their snappy lag free action gameplay either.

If Sony manages to pull this off, it'll be damned impressive.

Other than the obvious pitfalls, there are a couple of things that worry me about this title:

A) Player base. It seems like this thing is relying on having huge battles going on at all times, but what if there simply isn't a player base to support that idea?
B) Player base. What if the player base is there physically, but not in spirit? Someone else mentioned the "don't tell me what to do" mentality and how that could potentially cripple this game. I completely agree and will remain extremely wary of MAG until about a month or so into a solid release.

Those two things being said, if MAG brings all of its promises home, I'll buy a PS3 for it or eat my hat.
