day one for me


+1  I think this will be a game that people will still be playing 2 years from now.  This game won't flop simply because it doesn't have a single-player campaign.  Warhawk didn't have a single-player campaign and I still play it daily, 28 months after it came out.

 +2  MAG is great, I played a lot during the closed beta. Right now it sits at over 100k preorders I think... the biggest indicator of success will be this upcoming open beta period - 1/04 through 1/10. Anyone can currently pre-DL the client on PSN, beta starts the 4th. Sony still has plenty of time to use the beta publicity and start advertising to ge the word out. They are probably hoping for positive journalism feedback to help fuel the planned marketing campaign, though that is just speculation on my part.

 If during that week it gets a lot of positive hype, and the preorders skyrocket, it could be a fairly big success. The game definatly has potential, its certainly the best console FPS I have played. Unlike MW2 and its super arcade action and 1000 gimmicks, MAG actualy has like... battles that flow, flanking means something other than you died and got plopped behind the enemy, and there is so much room for strategic action if you play with a clan.

MAG will definatly be the most fun, for those who hook up with an organized squad as opposed those who just fly solo. Not that its not a fun game solo, its still awesome - but its full potential isnt unlocked until you at least have a squad of 8 to work as a team, especially on the 256 player modes.
