Re: MAG (PS3)

Its so annoying/frustrating/lame playing with a team that is doesn't play for the objective. We lost sabotage in about 4 mins time...no lie....I dont think i'm Hardcore enough to purchase another shooter at this time....so i wont be buying, although, when playing with the correct ppl, the game is pretty good and satisfying.

Re: MAG (PS3)

paid of my pre order today. Will be playing on the 26th. Also, I was at gamestop and the clerk told me they are having a midnight launch that day because mas effect 2 is coming out the same day.

That's cool. I will be getting it early that morning once Best Buy opens up.

EDIT: I went ahead and pre-paid at Best Buy today. It comes with a voucher for a unique armor set for a Valor Soldier. I was going to run with Raven, but I think I will go with Valor now.

Yeah, I think the idiots are all there because it is still a Beta. Hopefully, once the retail version comes out it will be minimized.

I'm quite happy to see people enjoying this game, have we decided what faction to use for all of us to play together?

The COD/2k fanboy speaks LMAO j/k.....i told you the respawn would suck for b/c i remember u talkn bout HCTDM on COD. I wouldnt say its sucks..but you have to rely on others for your experience to fun, which in online games can be amazing or suck very badly.

I am rolling with Valor, but I don't have a mic (thinking about picking up a professional MLG headset.) http://www.astrogaming.com/products/...0_Audio_System

I did pretty good during the beta, captured a lot of objectives and killed my fair share of fools. Looking forward to what the changes are for the retail version. If it's anything close to what EA has done with BC2 I will be a very happy man.

Re: MAG (PS3)

At first this game was so frustrating cause i didn't know what the F to do. I hung in their and I'm not a FPS guy and got on a good squad and we did some damage.

I would first like to recommend those who were frustrated to educate themselves as did I on how to play. I was directed to these links and they helped tremendously.

The Ultimate Guide this is very useful and shows you how deep the game is

These are the things that made me pre order the game, I like that it isn't auto aim some level of skill is needed. I love the team work aspect.

Re: MAG (PS3)

Excellent post backbreaker. Normally a game like this would be best on PC because you need some patience.

Re: MAG (PS3)

Thanks Backbreaker. I will dive into those later tonight.

EDIT: Great videos man. FYI, the Weapons and Load out video isn't embedded.

Re: MAG (PS3)

The vibes I'm getting from this game have turned very positive the past couple days. Seems like the guys who really got into it, REALLY got into it ... like, there's a possibility this game could be the "next big thing." Sure you get a lot of "this game sucks" posts, but I get the sense that the guys who put the time in to understand the game really, really like it, whereas the "this game sucks" crowd mostly consists of people who played it for five minutes.

Pretty much. Reminds me of the same attitude towards KZ2. I was actually in the "this game sucks" mindset too. But, I decided to give the game an evening of my time. Everything changed for me after that.
