I was thinking about how each team will be broken up into 8 player squads andI think what I came to was that the  to tier guys might not really be giving out orders per say but be able to communicate.
Like if you are low tier you can only talk with people in your squad but in top tier you talk to people in your squad + top tier of the other squads so you can orginze your squads more without have 128 people talking at once.

What are your thoughts on this?

The way squads will work is simple. The leader will attempt to organize and set up attacks...but half of the squad members will just start swearing and go off on crazy shooting sprees.

Ah that game sounds awesome, I hope by then some PSN people actually have mics

I'm pretty sure the top tier guys are giving out orders, man.  Plus, theres more than one tier.  It's probably General>Sergants>Squad Leaders> grunts, with everyone being able to communicat with people in their grup, one higher, and one lower (establishing a literal chain of command)

Rename this GarBage to LAG.

fucking games gonna suck bigtime

I have noticed that people have been cursing and thinking that the whole aspect of a commander would never work in a game because people just plain wont listen. However if you are one of the few people that have played allegiance, or one of the fewer who still do, you know that if implemented well people will listen to the commander, and it can work well in a gaming enviroment. Of course there will be people who wont but they wont be playing the game the next day.

I think this game will have massive action.

You must've hacked into Zipper's PowerPoint presentation.

MAG is going to be a massive failure in multiplayer gaming.  You can barely get 8 people to work as a solid team, and it's tough enough to get 25 people to raid on World of Warcraft.  How the FUCK does Zipper honestly believe this is a GOOD idea?

You want to know what a good idea would be, Zipper?!  SAVE SOCOM FROM MEDIOCRITY AND SHITTINESS!!!

If this game works like it supposed to then i will be buying a PS3 just for it but i doubt it will i just dont see how they will get around the latency issues

I don't see how it would work. Over 100 players on one team? Even when it's subdivided teams, it'll devolve into utter fucking chaos.

I think this game should be bundled with the Sony headset, the same way the last Socom game was. My question is will it be a paid game. Sony and Zipper Interactive said nothing about that subject so far. 

well, if there is incentive to play the game as the developers intended people will generally fall into line. at least a majority of the gamers who want to play the game. i for one would love to run around with 5-6 guys and just complete objectives. even if we end up losing the overall battle, teamwork is hella fun when it works. play as a squad, die as one. 
 
its just a shame others don't feel the same way.
