MAG Is Terrible

Sorry for the controversial title. But anyone agree with me on these points? No need for troll accusations. These are just my thoughts on the game.

- PS3 launch title graphics

- Cluttered interface

- TERRIBLE animations

- 256 player gimmick

- Lack of maps

- OK map design

- Very ugly fonts (Times New Roman)

- Overhyped and overrated

- Team balance wasnt taken into account

- Overall just a very ugly and Alpha (not Beta) looking game.

- Bad Company 2 will urinate into the open mouth of MAG

Oh yeah. And what do you guys think of BC2? I know you guys have played the demo.

Bad Company 2 will urinate into the open mouth of MAGCZVA

this game reminds me of enemy territory quake wars. the animations gameplay graphics everything just plays exactly like it

I rented MAG and haven't even bought it yet, so I feel I can give an unbiased review. MAG is miles better than Bad Company 1, and more than holds it's own against Modern Warfare 2. The 256 player maps are hardly a gimmick, it literally makes the game.

Graphically it is a notch below Modern Warfare. But Modern Warfare also sacrifices alot of animations in it's multilayer (compared to it's single player). If you compare multiplayer vs. multiplayer the graphics are much closer. Also of course you have to factor in there are more than 10 times the # of players in MAG. 256 player vs. 18 players. As far as "not having enough maps", how many do you think Bad Company 2 will have??? About 5 or 6 probably. In other words, about the same.

In the end MAG is a great game. I would say the PC version of Bad Company 2 will be MILES better (unfortunately my PC sucks at the moment). But on console it's not so clear. On the one hand you have the destructible environments and better vehicle/combat controls of Bad Company. On the other hand it's 256 players vs. 24 players. On console there are times in Bad Company where the maps feel a little "empty" due to the combination of map scale and the # of players. That almost never happened in MAG. I am sticking with m Bad Company 2 pre-order because of the $20 credit from Amazon. However, I'm pretty sure when I'm done with that game I'll be trading it in for MAG. MAG is a great PS3 shooter.

MW2 features a player, MAG features a team, BC2 is in between. People who play all three games know what I'm talking about

If you want a killing oriented game, go with MW2

If you want an objective oriented game, go with MAG

If you want a little of both, go with BC2

People who consider buying MAG need to understand that it is not a generic shooter with simply more people. The key feature of MAG is Squad/Patoon/Company based and objective oriented TEAM play
