MAG

Kudos to Zipper for being trailblazers in terms of how many people you can cram into a game but beyond this USP, MAG is a fairly generic affair. It all works well but it isn't mind-blowing. And with a full-price tag, minus an offline campaign, it's hard to see where the value for money lies here.

I AGREE ITS AMAZING...EVERY FPS player should put down MW2 just to at-least try MAG and give it a few games...its A LOT BETTER than MW2...the games are on a fair playing field and lol IF YOU CAMP you get NOTHING for it...plus ZIPPER is actually patching up the game with HELPFUL patches...they are LISTENING to their players..its great and IF i where GR i would give it a 9 AT THE MIN....its a 10 in my book because its the best FPS i have ever played....a lot of people are like WELL IT DOESN'T HAVE SP....soo?...THINK of the actual matches as SP if you will, because what ever match you play in effects the whole community whether you win or lose, it effects EVERYONE. ...I can't wait for DLC...it will be a MUST buy for me if zipper makes DLC (like the nazi zombie maps lol)

once again GREAT GAME and I highly HIGHLY recommend it for any FPS player out there, oh and non of that kill streak noobing bull crap you find in MW2.

MAG: Is it any good?
As the Beta comes to an end, what do we think of Sony's ambitious 256 player shooter?
Dec 08, 2009
It works. That's the main thing you need to know: 256 people shooting each others' faces off with extreme prejudice. Quite how, is a voodoo secret Sony must be guarding pretty closely, though. Developer Zipper built an entirely new server system to get such a huge number of people playing together and whatever the hell they did, they got it right. » Read Full MAG preview
