I had good fun with this over the weekend. Still getting the hang of leading, need to communicate more and stuff, but not doing too badly. Had my first shot at being Platoon leader last night and actually made an effort to communicate with squad leaders to co-ordinate our defense and for the most part they listened which really opened up a whole new aspect of the game to me. I'm definitely going to start putting a bit more effort into developing tactics for any squad I'm leading and opening up communication a bit more rather than just assigning targets and occassionally saying "Good job!"

I have to give it to the French. They can talk for the entire duration of a match, to themselves, without a breath or break.

Had a game there at lunch time and came across that. Drove me nuts, they weren't even bothering with the objective!

Lol, yeah I always switch out of the driver's seat these days! Don't trust myself. The annoying thing is that even if yer just crawling along it'll still run the person over!

They were probably just trying to surrender.

Well, judging from the game i was in. They didn't even join the fight in order to be in a position to surrender.

Hi guys
Im in Valor
PSN is ocallaghan12
and i have made a clan ''Ireland ftw!'' i know its a sad name, but the callsign in [IRL] so not too bad.
feel free to add me it would make it much more fun to play with some Irish people than some Germans who dont shut the F up and Americans who think everyone eles is crap and they are the greatest.

I levelled up past 15 at the weekend and unlocked leadership abilities. Brilliant craic, I have only won one game as leader but my Squad always get their job done If people act the bollocks I vote to kick them but for the most part people seem to welcome a bit of direction. Game just gets better and better!!

Raven : Boardsroughnecks is the clan

Anyone wanting an invite if you add me Bubs78 to your friends list ill be able to send you a clan invite (you may need to remind me)

Grayditch

Dude, can you re-invite me if you get a chance. It erased my clan affiliation when I erased my character, that time.

Cheers, man.

We could try but we'd never get through his map. :P

Raven obliterated S.V.E.R in a game of Attacking Sabotage I was in yesterday. We planted charges at C and gassed the absolute life out of the room and building until the timer ran out.

Great feeling.

Weird.

Valor here.
I also had that last night, i was in a good squad, i assume the other squads were good too. We actually took the SVER sabo in about 10 minues (i know not amazing) we had none of the usual idiocy of players throwing themselves at the front line. The attacks were varied and co-ordinated. Shocking stuff. Very sweet its a rare win.

Although i have to say i think the SVER players in that particular match were awful. They seemed to get ahead of themselves and tried to push way up to our spawn, fooled by the fact most of the platoon was flanking i guess, ironically i dont blame them.

RAIN

SVERS Aqua map is the worse by far, played a game last night where not one squad out of 128 people took one bunker! I was squad leader and we tried EVERYTHING to get the bunker on the far right open. Used the transport as spawn, took the path behind the wall. 4 stood back healing while others tried to plant the C4. Seemed like a solid plan. No, massacre every time.
Infact its so bad that even coming around the corner of your spawn is a hassle. The turrets from ALL the four turrets can reach that corner if you spawn on the right hand side. Plus SVER dudes are so confident in their win that they rush out past their gate with snipers to pick dudes off at that spawn. ITS A JOKE. I think I'v only won on that map maybe once.

Really loving this game so far. The satisfaction when you hold off wave after wave of attacks in sabotage is immense. The game really rewards good team play, communication by the squad leader is key and your medics are invaluable.

The upgrade path seems to be much more satisfying than say unlocking perks and weapons in Call of Duty, even though it takes much longer to gain the points and re-speccing can only be done at set intervals. All in all it is a fantastic game best enjoyed in a team. If you haven't already done so join the boardsroughnecks clan.

The teamwork aspect of this game is the real clincher.

Whilst i enjoyed COD:MW2, for a while, (and have played every COD released to death) the teamwork in MAG eclipses other multiplayer FPSs IMO. The frantic every man for himself, has been replaced by frantically looking around or asking for a medic in a close game, or telling people not to heal you when you know there's a couple of guys waiting round the corner waiting for the medic to heal you. To requesting someone to go along with you to watch your back whilst you repair the AAA gun to prevent the nonstop stream of paratroopers or bombing runs.

There may be a limited number of maps, but you never play the same game twice on the same map. The teamwork, or lack thereof sees to that.

Will we try to get a squad game going sometime this week ? Ill drag myself away from mass effect 2 for a few hours if we can get 4 or 5 people on MAG before bioshock 2 arrives.

All are welcome no matter how good or bad you are dont worry we dont take it too seriously, just dont frag your own spawn point .

Grayditch

I need to drag myself away from Mass Effect 1. Haven't even started 2. I need some faceshoot action tonight, I think.

Sounds like an idea to me... I've had the GOW collection sitting on the shelf since last Monday and it hasn't been out of it's box thanks to this game. I think i might be a little bit hooked, dare i say addicted :eek:

Or knife your squad leader as you leave the spawn point, like some muppet did to me last night!

Grumpypants

Right lets say 7:45-8pm ish ? If your coming on later you can just join us. If you need a clan or group invite message me or one of the other guys ( PSN : Bubs78 )

Lets go roughnecks, you wanna to live forever ??? I need to stop watching starshiptroopers

Grayditch

I've been roped into a game of Risk, tonight.

Risk trumps all. I might be on later.

WolfForager

I has training at 7.45, not sure if i'll be going or not yet though. Mag and the fact that i feel like sh!t combined might be enough to make me stay at home

Depends what faction you start with. All 3 factions start with 3 different guns(Standard assault rifle, sniper and machine gun). As you level up you gain skill points which you can use to "buy" new weapons. There are usually 2 other variations of the weapons you start with (so there'll be 2 new assault rifles to unlocks, 2 new snipers etc.). So about 9 weapons per faction if ya look at it that way!
