The idea is stupid, if you put 25 people who don't know each other, together in a game, they will not function as a team. If you have 200+ people, that is only amplified. <br /><br />If you enjoy MAG, great, but at the end of the day, I think it's a bad idea and will crumble within a year. From what I have seen, the game brings nothing new to the FPS table besides massive amounts of people, and that isn't always a good thing. <br /><br />If you like the game or disagree with me, that is perfectly fine, but I am not biased at all. I enjoy games on all platforms, and I would love to get a PS3 for a bunch of games, but it's not in the cards right now. Kyle has the PS3 and he can talk about many of the game, I just figured I would post my impressions of the game based on my experience in First Person Shooter games to date. Nine out of ten times, people don't play as a team, unless they are in a clan or are friends, which I mentioned I was excluding from my post.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493948735403261472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210164814386481897.post-15848317982010625562010-02-08T12:58:07.946-08:002010-02-08T12:58:07.946-08:00I have been reading reviews,trolling message board...I have been reading reviews,trolling message boards,and listening to pod casts to try to get ne reinvigorated with excitement for MAG. All to no avail. I gave the beta a chance and was disenfranchised by the experience. I guess the game is alot of respawning, travelling across half the map, getting killed, respawning and parachuting into battle, being killed before you land. That was my gripe from beta which seems to be just part of the game. Deal with it. I have also been reading and hearing the S.V.E.R. army has a majority of better perks so players from the other 2 factions are jumping ship. It doesn't seem like Zipper has any balancing mechanic in place to keep MAG from turning into S.V.E.R. Mixed with PS Home where all you do is walk around a map not populated with any enemies. I am turned off by the emphasis on team work but there are no consequences for straying from orders from a superior officer. Players can cowboy up and go renegade. If there were consequences , like losing money or XP , team work and following orders would be a sure fire strategy; that is assuming your squad leader takes an active roll in setting objectives and taking the lead. I am trying so hard to jusify getting this game, but I have a copy of Modern Warfare 2 with a months worth of dust on my shelf that will satisfy my casual FPS multiplayer needs as a break from some of the other games I plan on gettin pretty deep into in the coming months. -Kylemcanushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650213567636688088noreply@blogger.com
