I know theres such things as MMOFPS etc, but from my experience in the beta, MAG does not feel or play out as a MMO. More like a fps multiplayer. Sure theres alot of players playing at the same time, but the scale isn't there. The feeling is that you're apart of your 8 man squad. At the most you can get a 32 v 32 player feeling. But thats just like any other FPS multiplayer experience. |

"By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and feature at least one persistent world."
As I said...I know ZERO about the techincal implementation of MAG...it seems in reading the are some MMO like features. I guess the game will function a bit like Guild Wars...I'm not sure, but if you call MAG a MMO...then what's the signifigance of having 256 players? You can get 256 in most MMO's with no problem...
