    Wow I was a little bit confused by all that. Not really sure yet, will be very keen to read some reviews.

    dear lord baby jesus please no lag

    I'm not worried about 'lag'. The only FPS games i know with 'lag' is COD4,5 and Unreal Tournament 3. Resistance 2 (60 players online) has never laged. Killzone 2 (32 players online) has never laged. And i 'think' this game is presented by Sony Computer Entertainment as well....so im hoping for the best.

    i really hope its not host connection.
    if it is then it will definitely lag. if it isn't, it has a chance!

    This game looks amazing. As long as it gets the player backing it's going to be the FPS to end all FPS's.

    Will it be enough to trump CoD Mod2?

    I'm stoked either way.

    theyve send some PS3 users already the beta to check it out, I think you need to be a gold member of a website and than you will get it. Can't wait!

  • KILLALL52

    if they can keep this from lagging it will be awesome and o so crazy

  • lllCamballl

    I really can't wait for this. Everyone is so excited I just hope they don't let us done with server lag, and other stuff like getting spawned killed. I hope maps are big enough for 256 players, I mean Socom maps where HUGE and there where only for 3X amount of players.. I just hope this comes very good and well organized, take your time and make it be the way it looks.

    256 players!? thats pretty impressive

  • Valkirye22

    Posted Aug 26, 2009 3:06 am PT

    it's cool like this but with 256 live players, noobs, teamkillers, lag etc... plus i dunno if the battle of this size will be controllable...
    and imagine 100 guys having headset 50 of them yelling and you have no time and will to mute them all....

    the private beta is running smoothly, we just finished playing live from Gamecon.

    thats what i love about gamespot you cant voice your opinion without some sad child with nothing better to do giving everyone a thumbs down if they give anything less than a glowing review to the game, the raiting system for other peoples opinions is pointless, and piss off get a life mate.

  • DeepEyes88

    Posted Aug 22, 2009 3:16 pm PT

    I thought the same in regards to lag with resistance 2 with 60 plus on the map, while they pulled it off with some unknown computer trickery the multiplayer just wasnt satisfying, mag looks impressive in its ambitions but im not really that excited about this must be said.

  • BlackBaldwin

    Posted Aug 22, 2009 12:16 pm PT

    Sounds like a tall order that I don't think can be done. Truely its a awesome concept no less but I don't think we have the power to do it with the psn. Maybe if it was a pay per month thing like WoW or something but on a free net work the lag probably be killer...

  • zmac127

    I can't wait for this one. Seems to have the big dreams of Planetside but with the potential to actualy fill the servers. Too bad it isn't coming out until January... add 3 months for an inevitable delay... that makes April. Looks like im gonna have to break down and buy COD because BF1943's 3 maps are already getting old.

    This game looks way too complicated. What happened to the good ol' shoot for no reason? People are getting way into video games, I think we should just focus on good graphics and great gameplay. Not making it WAY too technical and complicated. That's why there's an actual U.S army, they do that there, not in video games. Come on people!

    all im saying if this 256 player battles work fine...then i carnt wait 4 PC 2 get this on board wow imagine it Battlefield 2 and COD 256 players...first person shooters will finally get what they need more players !!!

  • wastinnaziscum

    Posted Aug 17, 2009 11:37 pm PT

    yeah so the visuals aren't the most impressive thing out there.. i think this game will still take shooters to the next level. nothing out there comes close to the full scale of MAG. it still looks like one hell of an experience and I still have it at the top of my list of games I can't wait to get my hands on for a console

  • Black_Adder_

    Posted Aug 17, 2009 8:35 am PT

    I truly doubt that it will work Only FPS game I've seen so far working with only tiny % of net errors is Resistance 2. There were some idiotic errors in KILLZONE 2 (like not having your stats and achievements updated after completing ranked matches) and truly fantastic servers in FAR CRY 2 (losing half of your exp and field manuals because of the same reason + being kicked out of game frequently because of weak servers) and now they want to proof me 250 players will work together in huge maps. I'll wait at least a few months till more than a few people will say how cool that game is...after playing it, of course Really thought about throwing my console out of a window when playing FAR CRY 2 a couple of times (thankfully I threw FAR CRY 2 away instead of my PS3)

    looks and sounds dated, comon this is 2010 not 1998

  • royal7thguy

    THE mmoFPS!!!!! will be awesomes as long as they work on internet issues that they might face hope it all works out!

  • Zawiex

    Posted Aug 16, 2009 7:31 pm PT

    This game looks really cool but i have a feeling it might not turn out like if one person has a bad connection or how long is it going to take to get one game with 200+ players in it? if it works out then ill buy it cause this game would be awesome!

  • JcCaron123

    My friend is going to get it cause has both so I can try it there but I alergic to dog so I dont know . . . . .

    looks awesome but I only have the xbox 360

  • Dedodido

    Posted Aug 15, 2009 5:38 pm PT

    I don't think anyone who likes online shooters can say they're not looking forward to this game, at least in concept. The real question is whether they can deliver. They're gonna have to have one hell of a master server.

  • gla300

    Ok...I like the idea of playing with another 255 players but did you hear the sound of weapons ? They were worse than CSS I also wish that they make the reloading motion more realistic, with those few points done, this game MAY suppress Battlefield 2...

    Anyway I will defiantly buy this game along with COD6, BF3 and BF:BC2. This is my best year in my whole life

  • punkdsk8erdude

    Posted Aug 15, 2009 10:56 am PT

    hmm. idk how i feel about this. i mean its pretty cool, i like the idea of 256p, but its got to have so much lag. imagine if one player has a slow connection, itll slow everyone down. when i play cod if 1 guy has a bad connection you feel it sometimes. and the problem is, further, that what about the 'host' of the game? in cod, if the host leaves, the game ends. when your playing with 255 other people, thats gonna really suck! other than that this game seems very cool. the graphics are better than i thought theyd be for such a huge player and map online game. I do wonder though, is the entire game played online? Like, is there a campaign mode where you do these missions with the other people? Or is this video just of a multiplayer battle online, apart from the single player campaign? And is there going to be more than 1 mode? more than this mode? i hope so. this game leaves a lot of questions to be answered...

    This looks freaking amazing! I wish they had something like this for the 360!

    Man, this game looks so sweet. It my MW2 splurge has worn out by Jan (i hope it has) i will buy this game the day it comes out!

  • gamemaniac27

    256 players awesome!!!! i have never seen a game with this amount of players in just one battle. cant wait.

  • rostam93

    Posted Aug 14, 2009 8:20 pm PT

    this looks awesome, but if it the same makers as socom, im a bit hesitant. don't get me wrong, i have socom and love it, but it took them like two months just to get the game to work after it was released, and if mag is claiming 256, idk if they will be able to deliver. maybe they learned from their mistakes?

  • pod81

    Posted Aug 14, 2009 3:02 pm PT

    Cool! It looks like a mixture of Cod's shooting mechanics along with Battlefield's squad play except with 256 player's at once on a huge map with unrivaled action and great gameplay. Cant Wait!!

  • gizmo12345

    Posted Aug 14, 2009 2:23 pm PT

    I dont know much about how this game works but the 256 players wont all have a good connection so there would be a lot fo people disconnecting, theres enough quitters as it is, and players away from console but in a match. Not to mention lag. How will this work?
