If you're getting the game..... Which Army will you join?

Shade of MGS? Heck they even have the Ravens :D

lol..it wont play like MGS though,. Different styles

Hmm, i'd beg to differ with the title. Traditionally I havent had more fun in matches with more players, I dont see how going up to 256 will be considerably funner than normal multi

Whoever said it was generic? I admit it is a great idea and i'm glad they are trying to make actual squad-based team work systems to this scale.

At the same time the people playing will never be able to cooperate to the level this game requires and thus will result in a giant mess. I predict mediocre sales/reviews similar to the last few Socom games.

@nightsurge.... the typical xbot who tries to downplay this upcoming Ps3 exclusive runs to the "it looks generic!" phrase. Atleast thats what Ive seen at other forums.

Anyways... there should be enough cooperation. It isnt just huge teams of 80 or whatever. You are split into smaller squads of 6 or so and seriously... who is going to run off on there own knowing they can get caught in 10 vs 1 gunfire.

And Zipper didnt even make the last Socom game so why would you even compare MAG to that.

I really hope you are wrong with your last statement, just because I have high hopes for this game and I am getting tired of the same COD online crap every year.     But it very well could be a giant mess.

Correct, there's nothing generic about the 256 players, but can the same be said about the gameplay?

No, because no one here has played it yet

I myself hope I am wrong. I've always like the clan scene because people really did get organized and even with teamwork, you could beat others who were "better" than you.

I really, really hope this game is well done and people do play it right, because if I get a PS3 again, I will want to play this game. I just feel like the system of having 2 people (1 on each side) as "generals" who basically just give orders, and then 2 commanders for each side who give out sub-orders, and then squad leaders who follow those and give out even more generic orders. It's just too much organization. It's like a real life warzone, but those soldiers are trained for months to years before reaching that level of cooperation. I hope they don't pick the leaders randomly because then it would be an even bigger mess. Now that I think about it, I am curious to know how they will decide who is best suited for command, especially early on when everyone is similar skill levels.

Only time will tell, and if it does end up good, I will be glad to eat my crow.
