Looking forward to this GBI (GiantBomb Interview)

nice one!
Edit: Something seems weird with Brad's looks... too  clean shaven perhaps?

Delicious 

Head 5 looks a bit like John Travolta (Grease & Hairspray)

Damn this game looks pretty awesome, but I don't really see all those players following orders from leaders all the time. At least there's double xp for doing so. Should be different.

That picture before you hit play is Brad's Quaker Oats face.

It wont work, Of the games i've played nearly all have been pure chicken runs every one running around killing every one else.
this is a beta mind you and they need alot of work in keeping cheap tactics and bombing runs comming down on spawn points.
then again the 256 player domination is the least of all tested gametypes in MAG i've played it about 5 times the majority of my all most 2 months of mag time have been playing aquisition.

having played this but not the 256 player mode ever, i'm still skeptical and expecting a lot of smoke and mirrors when it comes to actual on one map player count.

I think I'd prefer a 256-player game that used swords rather than guns, just because then you'd be more likely to see the craziness. Both sides rushing at each other across a field, besieging a castle, all that good stuff. This seems like it limits your exposure to what's going on too much.

I might give this game a chance eventually, but probably not.  Look at online games on the PS3, the install base is too low to support 256 player matches.  Uncharted 2 just came out, HUGE title, and the most people Ive seen in the Multiplayer is 13k.  I also prefer a more personal experience, when playing with that many people they might as well be BOTS, there is no personal rivarly, no back and forth, no revenge, no sense of competition that make multiplayer engaging.

Awesome interview

holy smokes, i wonder how they're gonna balance all the different skills/weapons and whatnot.

I agree. Anxious to see how it works out.
