MAGs main selling gimmick, the 256 players, is a farce. It breaks people up so your playing with much much smaller numbers almost the entire time, thus making it resemble many other FPS games already out, so then it has to fall back on things like graphics, campaign, gameplay which are poor, non existant and seen a million times already.

Because of that and it's 77% Meta I believe no one will be talking about this game a couple of weeks from now.

The 256 players thing could have been much more than just a 'gimmick', it could have been awesome for those who like big battlefields full of soldiers. If it's true that it breaks the players up in small isolated squads then I'm not sad that this game will fail.

This is how war is today. You don't send 1.000 people in one direction to face off 1.000 people coming from the other direction. That was world war one and prior to it.

 

By using squad based combat with squad leaders you can uitilize real time strategy much better.

 

I haven't played it though so I can't comment. Never got around to trying the beta :(
