MAG - Pistonheads Clan

[JakeS]

So Mag is released tomorrow should hopefully have my copy through the door in the morning.

Obviously the majority of us Play COD most evenings and I don't intent to stop. I do quite want to get into MAG as 256 players is insane. So who else is getting MAG and fancys setting up a little PH MAG contingency?

I'm holding fire on this one (no pun intended). I want to see what everyone thinks of the game before I purchase it. I also want to see how the system handles 256 players. Should be interesting.

I have no idea either I just took a stab and will see what it is like. It sounds good and I am making sure I dont compare it to MW2 as it is to different. I should have tried the Beta really I am optimistic that it will be a good game though

[Devilstreak]

I may rent it next week or something to see what it's like. In the process of looking for a new house though so trying not to "waste" money (as the mrs puts it) on games.

Although I did enjoy the Beta...

looks great setup doesnt, ill hold fire, it will end up like killzone 2

For the clan idea to work won't we all need to be fighting for the same team? In the Beta I went with SEVR and will probably do the same with the full game.

Should be picking up my game today. not played much on the PS3 much so will be up for some online fun. if no one has me as a mate add remal

[freecar]

I was SVER in the beta and will be SVER again!

Don't worry about reviews, the beta was ace and MW2 players will always slag it off as they are red-bull charged uber-geeks! MW2 has turned into a super speed frag fest, I'll get unrel tournament if I want that!

MAG will own as long as your squad has mics and work together, have a couple of GOOD medics and all will be cool. Of course if you want run-n-gun and personal glory MAG is not for you! However if you want to rise above the ranks and take a leadership role and lead multiple squads to victory then Welcome Soldier!

I'll be there soon enough

Are the controls the same as MW2? I'm not good at adapting..

They were different on the Beta, but I'm pretty sure you could modify to have them similar to MW2. The big difference I found was that you can't just throw grenades, you have to select them as a 'weapon' first and then throw.

[Bullett]

Is there a demo for this?
My connection was a bit slow (and restricted) for the constant downloads of the beta and the fact I couldn't do a background d/l.

Same prob as me Norb, I am so used to MW controller set up now that for any Shooter that doesn't allow me to change it I don't have the paitence to learn the new one . I am hoping that I can change it to a similiar setup.

So I guess you setup a squad, which you can all talk to, but not the other squads on your side?

You can speak to the rest of your squad, your squad leader can talk to three other (I think three) squad leaders on different channels. He can effectively guide four squads to converge on the objective from different sides!

You can only hear 7 other people when in a squad.

[Dare2Fail]

Postie just dropped my copy through the door!

Be warned, there is about 100MB of updates before you can play.

This has slipped under my radar.

Apparently made by the same people as the PS2 SOCOM games (which I loved, although 3 was better than 4)...

If it's any cop I'll try to grab a copy
