[QUOTE=Applecrap;19531281]Beta is great. Level 17 medic as of now, and it's hella fun. I must say though, snipers have a huge advantage on big 256 player maps.
Oh, and I have experience zero lag as of yet, and I don't even have the greatest connection.[/QUOTE]
I really hate snipers no matter where you find them.
I haven't had any lag ever on this game even on full servers. Like most people i go or the mix of an assault rifle and medical kit. It's funny to sneak round behind an enemy squad and ninja revive your team-mates.

It looks good but IMO they're overstating the importance of the number of players. Players =/= Good Gameplay.[/QUOTE]
Well that sums up levels 1-5
Played one round in a friend's house.
Loved how you can kill player who are spawning in the sky with a parachute.
You go with a sniper rifle, it's like duck hunt.
played on the closed beta and it was awesome !!!
got to lvl 20 and the beta closed ... :(
For me it's a sure buy

Levels 1-5 for me was:
Defend point, see enemy, flank around, get 6 kills, repeat.

My first game was:
Find good spot to snipe from, Get 200 points, game ends with our victory, repeat

I have to be super sneaky and basically put myself in an unloose able situation.
In a One on one fire fight i always loose because i don't have the time to A: aim for the head and B: aim.
I essentially have to stack the battlefield in my favour. I.E Hide in the bushes on a rocky hill, or ninja knife from behind.
The enemy awareness in this game is weird. the number of times i've need my team blundering around bumping into an enemy soldier, and this is 3 of us and one of him. They are all running around in circle narrowly missing each other.
Then he knifes one of them and they all turn round and proceed to give him a likeness to Swiss cheese.
This game needs plenty of fixes here and there. I found out that if you die while going into iron-sights with a weapon picked up of the floor when you spawn everything is inverted. it's retarded because you are looking backwards but the gave registers you as looking forwards. so you have to hold backwards to go forwards, look down to look up and you have to go backwards (from your perspective) to sprint. Going into iron-sights fixes it though.
[QUOTE=lintz;19528364]Got the demo, made a character and immediately found an annoying problem - the training mission in unlocked, but you can't actually get onto it. Had to jump right into the gameplay and the controls are confusing and enemies come from nowhere, literally. Your guns seem to do nothing against the other players, there are no iron sight anims and aiming during ironsight takes forever to track a target.
I'm probably just shit at the game, but it really hasn't hooked me as of now.[/QUOTE]
Turn the control sensitivity up.
The beta sucks. Its like you kill one person you get killed kinda game. way too many players just doesent work. Like 50 players all standing togther shooting one guy not good.
wait is the open beta closing* already?

You need to work with your squad.
Together men and all the men on my squad have been able to take objective single handedly.

[QUOTE=nono345;19532798]wait is the open beta open already?[/QUOTE]
It's almost closed
Is any one getting 'unable to establish connection...' right now?
yeah it must be down, I really hope it's up for at least one more block, I just found a mic to play with
Alright, after giving it a try and not talking out of my ass, I must say I enjoy this game so far and I have yet to enter the large battles. Maybe it is because I did not follow the game or the hype, but I find it fun.
Wish I had the connection to download this :( looks good...

Same, I kept flanking them and sneaking behind snipers and knifing them, then I took their weapon and shot 6-8 other enemies before dying myself. I got like 300XP from my first game. :v:
After level 10 I upgraded my assault rifles and got every upgrade possible, and slaughtered people with the optic aim. If the names are wrong, I apologise, I set the language to finnish and roughly translated the names, and I'm not good at weapon names and classes and such.
It's really easy to kill people in MAG, considering that I suck at every other console FPS.
I can't get the beta to work. Every time I try to update it, it freezes somewhere. Farthest i've gotten is 17%.

Not the way I play it :D ;

Hurry let's get an FP clan going before the beta ends!
I'm 'Xion212' by the way

Have you even played this game? I haven't seen a moment when more than 5 people are shooting one guy, the only time I see a full on fight is if they are seriously attacking on one side. I tell my squad to watch that side and moments later I see a rain of bullets through my scope.
Which is good because they don't care if I pick off a few of their guys that way.
It looks decent. I wasn't too impressed with the gameplay, however 200+ players on one server makes me want to rub one off.
This is game the only reason I still have my ps3.
Then why do you have a PS3? who the shit buys a console for one game?

Lots of people bough the old black brick for Halo 1.
I didn't but people did .
Yes indeed.
I'm not enjoying the beta. The gameplay is very generic, same with the graphics, and they don't really use the whole 256 players thing, since you never actually see over 15-20 people on screen at a time. If you're not going to get huge battles there's no point in having 256 players.
You don't understand how a multiplayer game works. It's not tailored for YOU, it's tailored for everyone. Everyone needs something to do.

Level up and get officer in charge or platoon leader, you'll be giving orders to 128/32 players respectively.
I've had plenty of moments when I'm just running behind 20+ people and an APC in domination.

Domination is really fun because you seem to be playing a game of sabotage while other platoons are off doing something completely different. Sometimes it feels like your squad alone is holding the line and you are waiting till those vital re-enforcements arrive to help you out.
Images is kind of related. But probably old.

P.S new image box is fucked.
You could possibly be dumb.. (OP) You do realize that MAG is being hosted on Dedicated Servers by the company that makes it, Zipper Interactive. If you ever played it, and didn't think(Which your probably didn't) about it, you would see that there is no lag, other than when they are doing server maintenance. And the maps are spread out into 4 sections, 4 platoons with 4 squads each, so it's not like 256 people are all battling it out on a bridge. There is also a spawn line, that the enemy can't cross.
If you want an over hyped game, go play Modern Warfare 2. <---- That shit was over hyped....

And everyone wouldn't have something to do in a huge battle?
That never happens in real combat, and games like Battlefield prove that it's just a horrible confusing mess let alone at 64 players
