MAG (PS3)

Re: MAG (PS3)

first of all i thought i was gonna be turned off by the whole team thing yes its great to work as a team while i was going with like 3 people to the enemies terrority we helped each other with the medic or spotting each other on the blind spots. the game got kind of addicting to me at the end i am sad to see it kind of get late or i would put in another game or two.

its a really good fps so far IMO i played about 2 hours so far i really really like the whole concept. it involves team but your free enough ( if that makes sense) and it could really be something big for ps3 if it gets marketing or word of mouth of the game.

3 cons this game has is 1 graphics 2. no single player 3. presentation. ( thats what the reviews will knock it on)

NO LAG FOR MAG

Re: MAG (PS3)

That's who I feel. Once we get to understand what's going on I think we'll be fine. I need to get out of COD habits though. Running and gunning will get you killed quickly. You need a gameplan and stick together. DEFT, how do send out the clan invites? Send me one tomorrow.

Yeah, it takes some adjusting. A few times I was able to rush and capture a sabotage point. It feels pretty good, but if a team knows what they are doing in defending it you get mowed down quick. I sent you an invite out.

Here is a link to some "How To" Videos.

The first thing I unlocked was the reflex scope. It does make a difference. I will be specializing in the medic class.

Re: MAG (PS3)

Before I say anything, let me preface this post by saying that I was a beta tester (so I know what I'm supposed to doing in this game).

Now, I'm glad that they force people to start out in Suppression mode (against your own PMC) before throwing you out against other factions. It gives you a feel for many of the game's simple subtleties (like how to communicate with your team, proximity chat, using your map, etc). I don't know about the rest of you, but my game glitched up during Training mode (using the pistol at the shooting range). When I finally leveled up to get into Sabotage mode, I truly realized how many new people were playing. After playing for 2-3 hours last night (mostly Sabotage), I may have heard 4 people that had mics (and most of those people didn't know what they were doing). I understand being this game just came out, there's going to be a huge learning curve, but it didn't truly sink in until I played for awhile. And being there aren't many people leveled up high enough to be Squad leaders, it makes things that much worse (people don't know where to go, what to protect, what to repair, etc). It's going to take many people quite awhile to get into the flow of things, but I'm optimistic that this will turn into solid game (once we start to filter out those that aren't into this style of game).

I really started to question whether Valor was the correct PMC to choose, because I wasn't on a winning team all night. But, it's still early. Hopefully, things will turn around. I look forward to opening up Domination mode (my favorite mode, in the beta), and really getting into to the "meat" of this game.

I'm specializing in the medic class, also. There is such a need for medics in this game, it's not even funny. In all of the time that I played last night (2-3 hours), I was revived once that I can remember. I finally unlocked my Resuscitation skill, so I'll be reviving as much as I can (if given the chance).

Re: MAG (PS3)

Do you guys find the controller sensitivity too slow at the default 33? If so what do you guys play with? Thanks.

That's my situation right now. The learning curve is a little steep, I think that the training mode should be a little bit better. It's a little too bare bones for the more complex game types. Starting to get more of a handle on it though.

Mine's floating around 60 as well (been experimenting with it).

You seemed to handle yourself on Acquisition mode quite well, earlier. I think most people on our team panicked when the bunkers were destroyed, and didn't know what to do after that. As a person that repairs things quite often, I try to go back up front and repair the bunkers (and usually the AA battery), but there comes a point when you should just give up on them and defend what's left. I did like having someone on my team that was a medic (that actually healed me). Look forward to future games.

What is a shadow war bonus? One thing I hate is that the game always puts me in a suppression game thats about to end.

I think it gives you a boost to your XP, but I might be wrong.

Re: MAG (PS3)

I wish we could customize our character more at first. You have to rank up to add stuff. Do you rank up pretty quickly ??
