7.5 lasting appeal for an online only game cant be good.

You said it, ... imo MAG isn't all that interesting anyway, it looks and plays like one of those generic year 2000 games.

Now if the right person reviews WKC: IE on IGN (Not one of those jrpg haters) watch how it gets somewhere around an' 8.5 to a 9 for lasting appealing, maybe a little higher.

Generic 2000 games? you mean like every FPS ever released since then?

no lol, i mean the actual year, i forget but there was alot of generic shooters on PC at the time.

And there has been tons of generic FPSs released since then. Halo, Resistance, Haze, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, MW2, etc. None of these have added ANYTHING to the genre. Shattered Horizon adds more innovate to the genre then all of these games combined.

Halo and MW2 are generic? If a game isn't adding something to the genre it's generic? Then Killzone 2 and 80% of the games are generic nowadays.

Actually Killzone 2 isn't as generic as one would think. Its the first FPS to properly add weight to a character so movement is more realistic.

COD has never added anything to the genre. When it first released the game was trash. Just a run of the mill FPS in its day. It had a hard time standing against the many legendary franchises released around its birth. COD is great at what it does, its still generic, I wont knock it for it being a fun game.

@BF comments. MAG definitely proves a good improvement for console FPSs that easily match BF2. But BF:BC2 is going to be on PC, where the BF franchise belongs. Its DICE's bread and butter of a platform. PC version > console version without any doubt.

Still BF3 is also in the works. HL2:Ep3 will eventually be released. Counter Strike's sequel. Portal 2. The next Unreal Tournament. These will all be the top tier of the genre. Top tier console FPSs cant touch PC's FPS top tier till we get full integration of ourselves into a game (virtual reality).
