Forums - Sony - My experience with the MAG beta

My connection to PSN goes wack when I try and download something, but the MAG download wasn't that bad. The 1.8gig download took around an hour or so.

The game has grown on me a little bit since the other day now that I have a few weapon upgrades and we actually won two sabotage battles against SVER in a row this morning. Still haven't gotten that far in 256 player battles against SVER though.

I'd say the first thing you should try and do is to upgrade your medkit to heal others and then get the revive ability because each revive gives you +10.

Glad to hear that.

 

We should get a group of us to play together. Would probably be much more fun.

What faction are you?

I just got to level 15 in Raven today. I hate their upgraded sights for the assault rifles. They're so small compared to the ones I've seen on scavenged SVER and Valor guns.

@soulsamurai - Thats what my teammates said, but nothing happened. >.<

hmmmm it should be letting you out. I was in the closed beta when they were showing the game off and there were TONS of glitches through the door, but I don't know about anything like that. If it happens again though we know it's a problem. Which is where the beta part comes in.

You're testing the game for them, not getting a free demo. (although a majority think of it that way)

Go to the playstation website, log in and click your Beta tag and there should be an option somewhere to report glitches.



CURRENTLY PLAYING:  Warframe, Witcher 2

you definitely have a Internet connection problem if it takes you that long to download from PSN. I have comcast, it just took a few minutes for the first download. What are you using, DSL? Probably going to effect your ping in online games also, i'd look into it.



It took me about 1 hour to dowload but I did end up playing it for like 10 minutes as well haha. Dude I know my friend got the Beta by reserving at Gamestop as well and he already said that he wont buy it when it comes out. I play lot of FPS and I love them but I gotta put my Sony fanboy aside and be honest..... This game is in alot of trouble.



yeah my thoughts exatly.
like the gameplay it's fluid even so many people on the games.

it takes too much time to get into them! ruining the experience.
sony better do something before release.

it suffering one of socom main drawbacks, though it's not as buggy.

It originally took me 12 hours to download the beta phase 4 when I pre-ordered the game...

of course it took me about 1 hour to download the beta phase 5 (this stage of beta) so I presumed there were like max of 100 people downloading it at the same time.
it puts lot of strain on the server propably when there's so huge amount of people downloading it.

Where is everybody btw? They just released atleast 10,000 new betacodes and everyone plays on the same server but the player count is at all time low. Below 1000 players playing domination at any given moment. There were atleast 2-3x more players on the earlier phases. It took less than 15 seconds earlier for games to start because there were allways enough players playing.



It is so much different than Call of duty's online, way more tactical...I don't like it yet, because I didn't get the hang of it. But if I continue playing it, I'm sure I will like it.

Only thing I dislike are the environmental graphics...they seem below the average of Ps3 games...
