    Depends if you like large online multiplayer battles.
     
    If yes, you will probably enjoy it.
     
    Maybe you should rent it?

    I would rent MAG first, as it's only multiplayer focus means you'll want to play it for a while, or not at all if you have others games for it to compete with.

    I don't understand the "it should be 40 dollars" argument. Especially when MW2 is mentioned in the same breath. MW2's campaign was so hilariously awful. I struggled through chapter 3, STRUGGLED! I couldn't even finish the last two missions. I just watched my friend play them. 
     
     
    So yeah, I payed 60 bucks for MW2's MP and I don't regret it. Don't think about it in terms of content. Think about it in terms of enjoyment. If you think you'll like it: buy it. If not: don't. Simple as that.

    If you are really interested in getting another shooter, then you should really wait for Bad Company 2. 
    IMO, it looks like an overall better game than MAG.

    If you like multiplayer games specially fps then yes.
    If not then no, its about 30-40 dollars in worth, I purchased my copy cause i got it used for 50 at launch that was too hard to pass up.

    I've been on a MAG kick lately so I say YES....   just remember you have to give it time and love it and talk and use team work or you will fail. I'm really into it right now, it rarely lags, games start up fast and its cool to be on a team thats really really big, and there is a war going on even when your asleep.  I'm on Valor but I'm pissed cause I have to wait along time before I can try another team... unless I make another PSN account or delete my guy for good.

    MAG seems to have really good long-term value, but it's an acquired taste for sure.

    I'd say yes, I never liked the beta, but it's grown on me.
    It's nice though if you know someone you can play against, as with most games, I find playing with someone just being in the same game adds value.
     
    Also as he's often leader, I get cheap fragos when I'm planting bombs and things.
