In sales and popularity? No.
In gameplay probably. But its going after a different crowd MAG is pretty damn fun and you have to work together to make **** happen. But the battles are crazy sometimes and the ebb and flow of battle in the huge maps can be quite entertaining.
The feel of the weapons are good and the leveling up system is done quite nicely. The different skill trees allow for a lot of freedom to do what you want and make a character that you'll like. Plus the factions are all different enough and offer a unique style and equipment. The biggest flaw is playing with friends because if you join different factions you'll never play with each other.
The leadership system is nice and the incentives for being a leader and listening to the leader's orders makes people more willing to do what they are supposed to do instead of running around all willy nilly. It also helps that you only get 5xp for kills but a **** ton for doing objectives, repairing emplacements, and helping your squad (revives).
The learning curve high but I'm glad it'll keep the noobs and causals away and leave people who actually want to play as a team and play tactfully all there. Plus 4 different game modes ranging from 64-256 players on different maps with different objectives and a shadow war going on behind the scenes that enhances or inhibits your faction and there is enough depth to keep any shooter fan entertained for a long time to come.
