Counter strike anyone?

Played the Beta, played the full version no difference between the two, but this game feels like a hollow version of counter strike which i haven't played in 8 years, if i wanna go back and visit counter strike i'll go visit counter strike not this hollow imitation.   Several things that cause this game to now be as good as it could be, my biggest concern with this game is PSN is horrible with online game play, have yet to play a game that does not drop you from the network repeatedly, never had network issues with Xbox live much more reliable network.     
  First off to elaborate on why i thought this was a hollow version of counter strike for anyone who has never played counterstrike.  Counterstrike is a multiplayer game for the PC that had two factions counter-terrorists and terrorists, M.A.G is in fact a Multiplayer game that has 3 factions to choose from once you have chosen your faction your stuck till you hit level 60, all things considered i would rather have the option to pick which faction i want to be on at anytime than be stuck with one side. 
you also can't tell who your fighting from a distance it's not until you get within probably 50 feet that you can tell what is a person or just another object in the background which makes it hard to take out opponents.

MAG is an interesting game to try to review as the way that you play games and what you're looking for in a shooter are going to affect your enjoyment, or lack therof, of MAG. The game starts you out with picking a PMC (Private Military Corporation) from 3 choices: SVER, Raven, and Valor. SVER would be essentially the Russian faction with AK-47 type weapons that are a bit more rustic. Raven is a European PMC with great weapons, and Valor is the North and South American contingent that is probabl...
