I've been expecting it to fail since they announced the game, but now the negative comments in this thread just confirm it for me. This game is not going to work, and it's not going to be fun for more than an hour.

I reckon a lot of the negative press thus far has been because people have been getting bad impressions when trying to join games when the server was down. Not a good foot to get started on.
Anyway I was playing it for 2 and a half hours last night and didn't get bored, the only reason I stopped was because someone else wanted the tv -.-
I expected Battlefield 2 on steroids, which didn't sound too bad, unfortunately I fail completely at any type of console FPS so it isn't for me when I tried it :(. The graphics look decent from what I've seen while playing though.
It honestly wasn't that fun in my opinion.
The dinky ironsights felt off, and it feels like it would've been better on the PC, if anybody could take it.
It was horribly fun for me, I got to be a squad leader and ordered my team around. I was always a sniper, but I'd switch my Russian sniper for like, one of the RAVEN big guns. I think assault rifles VS the macine guns, the machine guns win. Oh, there was this one spot on the big attack defend map, where I could climb up and jump down onto a roof of a bunker. . I would be able to sit there the entire round, sniping people as they came in.
i had no lag, nothing of the sort. it was fun. i found a spot to shot faggots in. i got to lead as a squad leader.
A 6 day beta? Doesnt sound that great.
The game comes out in 2 weeks, it is a stress test.

Also, the game is a [b] beta[/b] they didn't give us the retail game, they gave us a beta build.

Hurr durr.
The beta is awesome, I played it, had 2 connection errors in between 8 Games.
The gameplay is fun, though a bit irritating when your team is a bunch of retards.
And as the opening screen says "THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT THE FINISHED PRODUCT YOU CUNT!"
Well not like that, but you get my point.
It's pretty fun, the domination game-mode where you actually get to have 128 people on each team drops the framerate ridiculously. It will be over 50 frames on the 64 player matches, but on the 256, when your in the area's on the map where everyone is fighting and shooting, explosions going off everywhere, the framerate drops to about 25-30.
I hope it's optimized more in the final build.
I'm pretty sure they said somewhere that by the finished thing they're gonna try and guarantee at least 60FPS at all times.
Idk wtf some of you are talking about, this game is awesome.

Playing in a group of 6 last night was pretty fucking. 2 of my friends and I joined up with 3 more people who we happened to squad up with over the course of a few games, was pretty amazing.
well by the sounds of things this really is a Marmite game.
You either love it or hate it.
I like Marmite (but Vegemite more so) Imma go try it out.
Why does it say that the training stuff is a mission?
Is the mission to read the text appearing on the screen? I wouldn't call that a mission.

If the game was more than two weeks from release I'd agree with you. At this late in the game it's a demo though, they can call it a beta all they want but it's not changing.
Do you really think they're gonna fix the shitty animations? (Or sometimes lack of them). What about the shitty models, netcode, and sound?
Sorry man, you've got a demo for a good game done badly.
Disclaimer: Despite what you may think due to my post, I actually am starting to like this game. I just believe that the developer is doing sub-par work on it.

The models are fine, I haven't had net problems yet, and sound... well maybe.
This is a beta, not a demo. No good developer is going to release a game with no ironsights animations and so many internet problems (Even though I have them about as often as I do for Bad Company online, Rarely)
I think the gameplay is extremely average in all honesty and no I'm not complaining about the networking.
I wouldn't say the game is complete shit but I definitely can't see myself buying it.

If I had money to bet, I would bet that at release there will still be no ironsight animations. As for the models, I can let those slide as most of what I'm talking about are just scale and detail issues. The sounds, however, are near inexcusable. After playing one round, you'll get that ONE noise of a grenade exploding stuck in your head forever. At minimum a game should have about three or so different noises for repetitive things since you'll be hearing them so much.Then there is the gunfire sounds. I honestly don't know how to describe how bad those are.
This is a very average game. They just took features from a bunch of other popular shooters and rammed them all into a really poor package, marketing it off player numbers alone. The graphics are horrible, the weapon models are some of the worst-designed and poorly textured I have ever seen and and animations are clunky and unnatural. The sound-effects are also incredibly dull, especially after just playing the Bad Company 2 beta. I guess that's just the icing on the poor-gameplay cake though.

I think that's part of the reason I didn't like this game at first. I was comparing it to BC2 too much. BC2 is near perfection and it made every other FPS on the PS3 seem very bad. Now that I don't have BC2, MAG is starting to be fun.
This are a good game, but i have Battlefield 1943 =/
To me it just feels like... CoD
There's nothing wrong with it, but it just feels so.... more of the same.
Granted i've only seen two maps and none of the 256 man maps yet.
Or none of the vehicles.
Heck every time i joined a squad i had the temptation of getting my mic out and saying "Right chaps it seems you have the misfortune of playing with the noob. But don't worry, ill stand between you and the enemy and act as a walking piece of cover."

The 256 player maps aren't anything special. Just imagine the regular maps with a LOT more grenade spam.

You should anyway, it's good practise. If you can get even one person to play with regularly then it makes the whole game a lot more fun.
Speaking of fun :

That streak was on my first life. Granted I didn't get much XP because I was going commando in the bushes [I]just outside[/I] the area I was supposed to be defending and not defending it from within.
Knives and mines are the way forwards :D

GRENADE spam you say?

Well i guess i'll be used to that then.
in the few maps i played i got grenades where you would expect them. In rooms that cannot be breached otherwise.
This game wpuld have been good a while back when this sort of thing was new but now we've seen it all it's not quite as good.
It's like a flat can of coke. It has the same great taste but it lacks that "sparkle" a fizzy can has.
You should media tag that. It's so big it makes my eyes hurt. :psypop:

I just did.
just as you were typing by the looks of it.
Who knows, it could be got with a little polish and elbow grease but it needs something new besides the 256 players in one server.
The squad system does allow for better co-ordination which is nice.
I guess we can't really expect every new game to be an "OFMG RE-WRITE THE BOOK OF GAMING EPIC!!"

Yea, that's all I'm really asking for is more polish.
