MAG

Is anyone on Boards in it? I for one think it is a great game and that's my opinion during the beta stage!

Can't wait for the full game!

Same here im impressed with it. I thought it would end up a massive mess like Resistence 2 but its really well done. I got into a different game type last night it was allways the rob a transport one last night it was protect the intel much harder as its much more directed at one location.

Anyway im on most nigths if you want to add me ( bubs78 ) we badly need to get people together its very hard playing by your self.

I think a lot of people creeped into the other beta test anyway. Plus the fact that MAG isn't actually as good as it was apparently supposed to be (imo)...

Depends how and who you play with. If you are with a load of idiots that just run off trying to get kills you wont enjoy it. if you can get 3 or 4 of ye talking and working together its brilliant. I played bucket loads of it while the beta was up and really enjoyed it. Prefered it to the old battlefields (havent played BFBC2 yet) and MW2.

Same with me. It took longer to download, install, download the updates than it did for me to go in, play it and realise it wasn't for me.

I downloaded the initial 37MB file...
Was told I needed to update...another 37MB file...
Was then told I didn't have enough memory on the HDD...(but I did!)...
Deleted a couple of other game files...
Now told I'm receiving updates of 1829.70MB!!!!!!!!!...
WTF?!?!?!?!...

BTW - Happy New Year fellow gamers!

It's not.

You'll really grind you teeth when you hear the gunfire sound effects.

Yup. Not good at all. Spawning so far from anything is a killer. Way too much going on to survive long enough to get a feel for the game. Jumping is awful, without a COD style vault walls are impossible to get past. Health bar system is flawed because the first aid kit takes too long to be any use. So many problems. I know its only a beta, but if those graphics are indicative of the final product... not good. Parachuting in over the pyramid thing on the sabotage level there was a lot of pop up.

And yes, the sound effects are horrible. Guns just feel... bad. Like pellet guns or something.

Won't be getting that. Ah well, I'll save a few quid!
