The PS3 exclusive that allows you to have up to 256 in one online match! Discuss here. I got it the day it came out, and it was worth it.

No it's ugly.
The one thing it has going for it is that it has a lot of players, and I don't see that even being taken advantage of.
It's not like all 128 players are going to organize collectively.
Instead it seems like it'll be an uglier, less customizable, less organized version of Call of Duty with 15-20 people in their own little skirmishes all around the map.

I thought it was great... Well we all have own opinions... Instead of just getting weapons for simply leveling up you actually have to work for it, and do you know... good. Less customizible? Your able to have 3 different types of armor and different customes so how is it less customizible?
MW2 has up-to 10 classes, with two guns which can have two attachments, the guns design can be changed, 7 or so pieces of equipment to choose, 3 different special grenades, 3 perks to choose from about 20, a deathstreak "reward" to give you a boost if you are consistantly getting killed, killstreak rewards, clan tags and a title and emblem to choose from about like, what, 200?

You know what I rather let this thread die instead of being labeled a Flamer Troll...
250 titles alone.

Face it, MAG sucks. MW2 is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.
If you were a Flamer Troll wouldn't you troll flamers?

I like MW2, but I like MAG a little better, but maybe that's because I'm trying to like it to much. =I

Since I got a PS3 for Christmas and heard about this game I thought I'd try out the beta when it was up and running. It was pretty fun. I got a kick out of playing with so many people at the same time (even if it wasn't 256, 64 or so is still a LOT). I probably would've bought it if there weren't so many other games coming out and if more of my friends had PS3s.
But why does MAG need to be compared to MW2, seriously? With MW2 being the huge FPS giant that it is it seems like the whole "picking on a midget for being short" thing.
So much that it doesn't make it worth trying out right? Give me a break.
You're on the internet. If you want to go into a discussion without knowing what people are talking about at least research it and form some kind of opinion* instead of being that one guy. Lesson for real life as well.
*Oh and opinion these days doesn't mean "is this better than the new COD?", although that kind of seems to be what's going around.

Well, yeah, obviously that's not the question.
The only answer is no, it's not better than MW2.

Sounds like this game should have come out last year... when it didn't have competition.
Or, at least when the concept hadn't been "perfected".

It died as a game several seconds after they announced 256 players.
Right about when they mentioned '8-man squads with a focus on communication'.
Who wants to put up with that many connections, who wants such small-scale combat in large-scale games, and why do they think people on the internet communicate in games?

Iv'e heard MAG had a good concept, but it didn't live up to it. When the sequel comes out, I believe they would have executed their ideas by then. It would also be great if it was not a PS3 exclusive.

This looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much like a fanboy.
I've never played it, but I think it's safe to say that this will fall into the "Great Idea, Bad Execution" bin. Like Scribblenauts did.

Maybe, but the statement is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO true.
.Meh, the idea of "Massive Action Game" was sound, it's just that it was somewhat impractical, and that the creators thought that having a lot of people online at once would be a great idea. Looks like they didn't put into account the mentality of the players they would be catering towards.
And that's saying something. They seemed to have the thought that everyone would be thinking on the same terms while playing this. They clearly didn't research things properly.
It would have worked well in another setting (say... a PC environment, or maybe squad based combat), but otherwise, fhq has a point; 256 is just too many at once.
This reminds me of those times where someone says: "wouldn't it be cool if..." and actually does it.
Makes me wonder what would have happened if this were done as a multiplatformed game in which XBL/PSN were connected (stupid idea, but yeah, just a thought).

That's a really spot-on comparison to make.
That would be just ASKING for more console flame wars. Tons of Xbox and Playstation fanboys, whining at each other that their consoles version plays better, which would then spur into more arguments that wouldn't even relate to the game. It'd be kinda funny actually, to see a squad start killing each other because half of them are playing on different consoles.
Of course it'd never happen though.
