No they are not that bad. Keep in mind any game like this is bound to have countless haters bashing on what ever they can find. The graphics in MAGare "pretty good" as compared to stunning or Jaw-dropping due to the needs of the game. Don't listen to the haters, the game looks more than good enough for what it is doing. I actually kind of like the graphics.

MAG is decent enough to be considered a PS3 game, at the least. But with MAG, I don't think graphics are your biggest worry by far.

It depends what you mean by 'bad.' What other 256 player FPS on consoles looks better?

No you got it all wrong. If you havent been spoiled by said games, the graphics are BAD. With games like U2 and KZ2 out, MAGs graphics are just THAT bad. Ive played the BETA so I would know. The people who are saying it has great graphics or even decent graphics, are just overly grateful gamers from the SNES days.

And yeah gameplay over graphics, but the gameplay is almost as bad. If youre looking for a game like MAG with great gameplay and great graphics, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is coming out in March. Its nothing like the first one. Definitely a 8.5-9 game.

If you think about the fact that the maps are huge and they have 256 people, the contorls are decent, gameplay smooth, then the graphics not being as good as uncharted 2 is not a big deal. I've only played the beta(quite a bit) and id give it a B. Nice to play something other then COD. But 256 people, something has to suffer, and id rather it be graphics then gameplay or lag.

Honestly, who cares? THe game has 256 players running at full tilt, no lag, and most people actually work as a team.

What more can you want? I already preordered it, picking it up tomorrow.

I personally found the graphics fine, they certainly don't affect the game in a negative way. Most of the time you're to busy to notice them anyway.

If your too worried about how the graphics look, and running around doing nothing but staring and comparing graphics, I don't want you on my team.

could not have said this any better myself.

graphics do not make a game for me. as a gamer with over 20 years experience i know this.i know i sound like an old man but "in my day" the gameplay made the game. not the graphics. due to my busy schedule i only played the beta 4 times but each of the 4 times was very enjoyable. is MAG going to be for everybody???? of course not, but there are plenty of people myself included, that are going to like it.

Actually the graphics can sorta surprise you, they looked alot better than I was expecting. By no means U2 or KZ2, but definitly surprised me when considering 256 player matches.

The graphics are nice IMO, or at least way better than I expected. Besides, you'll forget about them once you realize how smooth everything runs.

I don't mind the graphics for I understand the need to keep them low.

I would rather a decent-looking lag-free experience than a beautiful horrifyingly laggy one.

I don't think I could disagree with you more. You've played the beta so you know? You KNOW that the graphics are bad? Opinions, opinions, opinions... where did they go? I happent to like the MAG graphics - it has a certain style to it which looks really great. The effects of explosions and smoke all add to it. Organised chaos. Also, I'm not from the SNES days so there goes your ludicrous theory. I also enjoy the gameplay. And BC:BF2 is EXACTLY the same as BC1, and even better. BC1 is a 7.5-8 game, and Bad Company 2 for me will probably be a 9, but I like it that much. I wouldn't say it's overly different though.

I dont know how you can argue that the graphics are good when so many others say its bad. We'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see what the reviewers say. Im giving MAG 7.0-8.0.

i thought the graphics looked pretty good.... certainly no U2 or killzone, but they are easily on par with MW/MW2....

anyone who says otherwise is just a hater. the graphics are more than acceptable...

Considering the size of the game and what it's achieving (256 players simultaneously running on huge maps) the visuals are great.

I might add surprisingly good, I wasn't expecting the clarity and sharp textures it manages to execute.

I think they are fairly similar to MW2 MP, not the SP campaign but that is a given.

MAG is fun,addictive, innovative, competitive and has 256 players and is better then warhawk hands-down. Oh and people work as a team(unlike in warhawk if you go into a random pub) and the amount of customaztion and tactical depth MAG has is superior to Warhawk.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLpgp9OddXI yes that looks like real fun...:/ btw teamwork is something a player decides to do,not something a game makes you do....just in case you didnt know....if you played with people on warhawk who "didnt work as a team" its not the games fault...its your fault...no game ever has people working as a team specially in pub rooms...the only time you would see teamwork is in a gamebattles match...where you play for money... as for the rest i cant argue we are both diff type of gamers,i have standards in my games.

I agree with that, they're including 256 players in it with no lag, so they're probably gonna have to throw graphics away for that

I see teamwork in a pub. You are contradicting yourself.

Well obviously you have to define teamwork for me...if you consider a guy reviving you as "teamwork" then their is teamwork in every game...hell i can find you a vid of people using "teamwork" on warhawk...MY definition of teamwork is at least using strategy to win,BY TALKING ON THE MIC,AND PLANNING OUT WHAT TO DO...not running,gunning..as you see in the vid kid is not even talking on the mic.....and if you happen to be near the objective,get some free points....because thats the real definition of teamwork " Cooperative effort by the members of a group or team to achieve a common goal." which is to win....so in reality all games you use teamwork....so again i feel as if you have no idea what your talking about,as i base my opinion off experience and knowledge having played the game and you sorta just base it off what exactly? i proved the game lacks in graphics,physics,animation,gameplay..
