Guess what? SW is doomed!!:lol:

Seriously, just look at the thread about MAG, almost 90% of SW user said this game gonna flop because of the demo

Yeah, I know the demo was *meh but I still think Zipper still can improve the game, hope it'll get much better when it's released

So, here I am hyping MAG scored AAA here on GS because its gonna be fun if it's true:lol:

And hey, dont forget it's 256 players + PS3 exclusive + awesome boxart (just kidding)!!

International? Its going to get the same score, the core game is the same.

Thats why I picked it. There's no logical reason for it to score so high.

A demo is just a taste of what the game will probably be. A beta is the game itself in a limited build. What you see is essentially the finished product minus a few touches.

I would eat my hat, and my current hat is woolen, and that would be unpleasurable to eat. so upon reflection, I would like this game to score lower than a 9.0

lol it will probably get a 7-8.0. Anything higher than that seems unreasonable unless the Beta is nothing like the actual game (which wouldn't even make sense)

You're probably right.

But I wouldn't expect anything less than AAE. And that would be great.

I will honestly say MAG actually looks quite aesthetically pleasing, however i'm not into Squad based shooters, this one would be more for the Multiplayer gamer. Also i don't get why people come out with statements like "Upto 256 Live players compared to Gears, KZ2, MW2 etc...it must be better" In my eyes, this game has been designed from the ground up for MMO gameplay, so they've worked on the engine for that purpose, and so does the fact other games which don't support as many players make that game inferior?....of course not. MAG is purely multiplayer, and not everyone who uses their console/PC plays online, a lot do, but also a lot don't and prefer single player games like myself

Graphically I don't think it was that bad. It looks better than cod4 for example.

The controls were comfortable and gameplay was fun, but there was something missing. It felt like 9vs9 and not 128vs128... they just split the game up. Not what I hoped.

They designed the maps so that you would have sizable 9v9 engagements and would get into much larger battles in certain areas of the map. Its more about being a part of a huge war than just 128v128 standing in a row shooting.

The worst MAG will score is 8.5, but I wouldnt be surprised if you see a 9.0. MAG is a next gen concept that really works. As for graphics, you see that lag in MW2 in a 9v9? Well imagine how bad that would be if you went 128 v128 or even 64v64. COD4 used to lag pretty badly in the 16v16 rooms. There is a price to pay for the heavy graphics. Killzone 2 doesnt lag but its limited to 16v16. MAG graphics are good considering they are blowing the roof off of player caps and launching it into orbit. The squad/platoon system is really working well too. This game takes communication to achieve the objectives. Its the best game for team coordination I have seen since Socom 2 (another Zipper release). Its a blast to get on a squad that communicates well. Its even better when you have a platoon leader that knows what he/she is doing. I had one game where the platoon leader had all 4 squads attacking the same barracks. We overwhelmed it, then went to the next one and so on...wiped out all their barracks quick. We were Valor against SVER on their acquisition map everyone would complain about. We had the barracks down in no time with a clean run at the vehicles and AA. Also, it was a Beta, not a demo. Beta's are not finished builds. In fact its hard to say how finished because it all depends on what the Dev's goal for the Beta was. I assume it was the networking more than anything. The one thing I would say should be much different in the real game is the quality of players in your squads. Each time more people got access to the Beta, there was a huge influx of new players which tended to water down the experience in the squads. A lot of lopsided games would result for a while. The real game will probably not suffer this type of periodic mass influx of new players.

The general hype is AA and i think it might make that, it needs for all the gameplay to be sped up a bit and to have more weapons and reasons to keep going plus more of a story line, so AAA isn't really going to happen in my eyes.

I'm all for great games in the industry, so if this is good enough to warrant AAA status bring it on.

But I must say that even if it does achieve a AAA rating I will be staying away from this.

I think its actually more split into platoon areas. 4 squads (1 platoon) will be assaulting barracks in the same area of the map. Once you move past the barracks, then all 4 platoons converge on a central complex at the middle of the map. They will be hitting it from all sides. There is nothing stopping you from running around to join a totally different platoon assault...your squad/platoon will suffer though. The acquisition maps have two vehicle areas each being assaulted by a platoon. Again, there is opportunity to cross into the other platoon's area, but you leave your platoon shorthanded. So yeah, they split up where the platoons begin their assaults, but there are no hard boundaries between the platoons once you get past the barrack defenses.

MAG WILL NOT SCORE AAA! sorry to say but this game was the reason I decided to buy another ps3 but I played in the beta And Gamestop exclusive beta and I wasn't impressed. My guess it will score around a 7 from what I played it was pretty etertaining seems like a solid shooter but in no way is it groundbreaking just bc of the 256 player concept zipper has going on. Regardless its a day one for me! the gun customization is something i really like in fps and I think all FPS's should implement that kind of thing it adds so much replay value plus its eye candy. gold guns in cod4 added about an extra day worth of replay value for me

Still, to suggest that BFBC2 is miles ahead is shocking. Its a decent Beta, but nothing that would take me away from MAG, Killzone, or any of the other top shooters. Bad Company, to me, still falls way short of the PC Battlefield experience. Bad Company is a casual version of Battlefield 2.

But do you think 256 players is a "gimmick" tho?

I'm pretty sure I've been modded for trolling saying alot less than that.

I think cross game chat for xbl is a gimmick but I don't put that opinion on blast because I know some other people think that's a novel feature. If people are allowed to spam the tag word "gimmick"on everything they choose not to find impressive then this place will be over run with unrealistic projections that don't acknoledge truly notable acheivements of games and consoles.

lol, I swear I just had a flash back, or maybe deyavuz

I'm sure I've seen a post just like this somewhere else before...all you have to do is take out the word MAG and replace it with Demon's Souls

I don't know what MAG will score but I think it's pretty cool of them to "try" something this ambitious.

GS (and any other site that scores MAG highly) would lose their remaining shreds of credibility.

I know this is all prefaced by the beta caveat, but the MAG beta was truly horrible. The graphics were terrible, the sound was terrible, the game was poorly designed/balanced, and only a handful of players owned mics (let alone used them). The game needs another 4-6 months in the oven (at least) yet it's just gone gold, so I can't imagine it scoring higher than a 7 (and that's being optimistic).
