MAG Interview

Looking forward to this GBI (GiantBomb Interview)

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

Sweet, another Brad interview.     : )

Awsome interview brad!

Delicious 

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

Lol at Brad dying twice at the end

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.

This game is looking good, I'll be picking this it up when released, and great interview I learned a ton of stuff I didn't know about the game, the whole thing with governments and factions sound great.

Seems really cool in theory... I just wonder how well all of this will work in practice!

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.

game looks like a free to play online fps.

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.

" Seems really cool in theory... I just wonder how well all of this will work in practice! "

Looks a lot better then it did a few months back, really impressed the overall look of the game. 

You guys really need to make your mics look like ice cream cones, it goes over great with nervous people on screen, and it always makes people laugh.
 
I wonder what the guy thought of Brad sporting a Gears of War hoodie to a Sony-centric event.

Nice Gears of War hoodie... at this Sony event.

Much of this game's persistence reminds me of Shattered Galaxy which is an RTS/RPG MMO that has a sort of similar faction war system. Colour me intrigued.

A Brad video just wouldn't be a Brad without hm "pulling a Brad".

I love how Brad is the GB Journalist. You are the best interviewer man!

cool thanks for the interview.  The game looks to play faster than I remember.

how the hell is anyone gonna be ranked high enough off the bat to have a system working? 
and what happens when the majority of the players are ranked up?  
 
 
anyways,  
i think this game will be awesome but i think that they should have stuck to Socom and made a true next gen iteration of the series.

Free to play massive shooter? I'm game.

I remember this dude talking about SOCOM: Confrontation... This game will be horrible...

Hhehehhe... Brad died twice in 3 seconds near the end!!

the skill tree interface looks clunky as hell.

" I remember this dude talking about SOCOM: Confrontation... This game will be horrible... "

After playing the MAG beta for a couple months, I think I've seen everything the game has to offer, and I won't be purchasing it. The 256 player matches work, but the gameplay is just too generic for me, and there really isn't much depth in the tech tree and leadership tree. Overall, I'm a little disappointed with this title. I'm saving my money for Battlefield: Bad Company 2. That game looks good.

 I'm anxious to at least rent this game but the interface just looks awful from what was shown in this interview. It reminds me of STALKER which is a bad thing.

Too bad the public beta is only for people that pre-ordered, and is not helpful for those still on the fence. >_<

"game looks like a free to play online fps. "

Nice interview. Would still like to play a demo of this game before I pay the full price. Playing FPS's on the PS3 still doesn't do it for me i'm afraid.

its like Battlefield 2 times 4

This and Uncharted 2 make it too bad I'll never get a PS3.

I'm in the beta and .......meh
 
Zipper needs to stick to Socom rather trying to make a generic COD/BF clone.

 So you need to get to level 15 to become a squad leader, but how would this work at release? Everyone is level 1, would you just have to grind it out as a normal player?

The action itself looks quite weak. I hope the massive aspect keeps it interesting enough.

Excellent Brad there interview!

This would work better on PC.

Why would anyone want to press X to bleedout?

One thing that worries me is the graphics.  Its doesn't look very good.  And its only 30 fps.  Compared to COD's always silky smooth 60 fps.
 
Good luck to them.  Cause I really do like the concept.
