Yall totally missed the point which isn't surprising. It's almost the exact same kind of experience except its got a larger multiplayer aspect. It is being created by the same developers. When you can name it the same property given those scenarios, WHY WOULDN'T YOU. People area always complaining new IPs don't stand a chance so why take the risk when you don't have to. It makes no sense.

but the thing is we don't know enough about the game to judge it yet.

it could be a TPS or an FPS we don't know really

until we see a gameplay trailer I think we should put the "MAG is SOCOM with 256 player online" on hold

why the socom hate game has been patched and plays fine now...........mag is sounding to be an awsome game new ip's are risky but they have to start somewhere, mag is deffo on my radar

As long as Zipper's making it then i'll be happy. Socom 1 and 2 were awesome.

i know that i'll get flamed by random generated level 284 flamers , but i love Socom Confrontation. its addicting.

The number of people in the same game alone will drastically change the game from any socom.

As mentioned before,there hasn't been any info indicating that M.A.G. will be similar to Socom. So maybe the new IP was a good idea. 

But this isn't anything like Socom. That would be like Square naming each and every game Finla Fantasy for the brand name even if it has nothing to do with the series.
