    Is it gonna outshine all expectations and silence all critics, or is it gonna completely fall apart? Share your thoughts.

    think the idea is explosive but its gonna fail for two reasons : the public isnt ready for such a huge achievement of a game, AND i think the intentions of the MAG people are good but they're gonna fail at delivering the awesomness they intend to deliver..

    Interesting, what do you think will have to happen for the public to be ready for it? Quite honestly i think every shooter out there wants this to suceed because of the sheer awesomeness of the concept. And where do you think Zipper's delivery will fall apart?

    although I am very much interested in this game I must say that both predictions are what they are, Predictions. Lets just wait until the game is out then make a sound judgment. Whether its going to outshine or doomed fro failure is for time to tell.  
     
    P.S - This thread should be on the MAG Forums.

    Sorry good point about the MAG forums, should've put a little more forethought into that. But quites honestly I put this up so I could hear a honest and clear argument on potential problems for the game. I wanted to hear all sides so I could be a little more well-rounded in my opinion of the game.

    I think that the sense that its a big battlefield needs to be conveyed at some point in every match otherwise i could play killzone or whatever and get the same experience. 
     
    Can we fly helicopters and jets in it? i thought the paradrop thing looked very computer controlled

    I think it will be a great game but only if it can organize the combat well. I have pretty high hopes for it though.

    @Matt_the_Sniper: I wonder about that myself sometimes.  Like if I had only positive things to say, I might say it impressed me greatly, it had the best netcode of any game 64-players, 128-players or beyond I've ever played.  I might say if the concept seems appealing you won't be disappointed.  I can't say those things though, obviously.

    32 player matches are disorganized enough. Finding 256 competent players will be impossible. Everyone is just going to try and be rambo and the whole concept will fall apart. I think the game can be made, and I'm hoping its great. I don't have faith in the community though.

    i think that the game is going to have things that were promised but aren't there. it's just something that i think will happen when mag comes out.

    I think he meant that there will be things that were promised, but will not show up in the final build of the game. The wording was just a little misleading.

    It's going to be a well reviewed game that I'm going to hate.

    I played it a PAX and I enjoyed it, but it was exactly what you'd expect, a B grade shooter with a big player number.

    Interesting, did you experience much of the command interface, or just straight team deathmatch?
