MAG PS3

1st Day Impression

The key to a fun experience isn't finding 128 or even 64 like-minded, serious gamers, but finding enough to lock in a squad. Those are the people you will be chatting with, working with and fighting with.


That's one of the things about MAG, it can't really be played as a typical shooter. The objectives are complex and designed strategically to require genuine group efforts to complete them. Get in with a squad of guys who want to spend the whole time laughing about how they ran each other over with a tank, and you'll never win. Get in with a team who bark out orders and sniper positions and you're going to win. It's also going to be some of the most fun you'll have in a shooter.

OK I ordered my copy. It should be here in a week or so.

The fact that the original soundtrack for MAG was composed by the symphonic metal band Apocalyptica is hot.

Thanks man. Not bad scores for a console title. I'm looking forward to getting in but am still waiting on my copy from UPS. I should have it any day now and will let you guys know what I think. I'm not sure we have a lot of twitch gamers here but if anyone plays let me know.

My copy just arrived today. It seems it was delayed due to weather but wtf are you going to do. The game is a blast and playing with southern white kids trying to talk gangster is the best part. I was able to get into a dozen matches or so and a quick observation in regard to early game xp. You gain +5 xp per frag and +10 for healing after Resuscitation. I can only assume you should spec: Medic Kit (2sp)--->Resuscitation (2sp) by level 4 and prioritize healing team mates. Anything else makes very little sense. I'll know more after this weekend and I get some time.

Quick update: Guild is made and we are lacking soldiers of all things. The game is high twitch without a target lock system so it's not for everyone. We are playing S.V.E.R. under the tag [SIN]. I would highly recommend a headset if you are thinking of playing this game with anyone.
