I like it, it says what it is.
they could have just called it SOCOM4 but they didnt.
Why do you like/hate the name?

MAG. Best Name ever or Worst Name Ever?
I think it is a cool name. It is designed to have people talking about it and it certainly got people talking about the games name. Free publicity.
Looks like its a working codename because I honestly can't see it being marketed well if they kept that.
"Looks like its a working codename because I honestly can't see it being marketed well if they kept that.Yeah, there's a huge write up on Kotaku where a focus tester for the game spilled a ton of info on it. Supposedly the game's likely going to end up being called SOCOM: [Insert silly subtitle here] and MAG is just a filler name.

Kind of half-arsed really. Like not calling water water. See? Okay.
I reckon Sony are just looking for something to rival with a name like Halo.
"Kind of half-arsed really. Like not calling water water. See? Okay.nobody said thats going to be the games title, thats just the idea for the game. its rumored to most likely be a new socom game. i read somewhere they were surveying names like Socom: Shadow War, and Socom: Zero

With a name like Massive, it's got to be good
The only bad thing is that when I google mag I get a bunch of lame magazine sites
It's a working title bro, chill. They won't call it SOCOM either. This is a new IP. This has nothing to do with the SOCOM theme. SOCOM has always been on close-quarters, tactical combat. This game is to huge to be called SOCOM. It would also cause confusion between the mass market.
Nar, MAG is the second best name ever, of course the first being 'Eco-Creatures: Save The Forest' from Majesco.

Just because thats what socom WAS, doesn't mean the guys who created Socom don't feel the need to use that name anyways. It wouldn't confuse the mass market if its called Socom: Shadow War or Socom: Zero (which are rumore working titles)
