@libellule - the game feels like last year compared to other first person shooters on consoles. Sure, there's alot of people, but the gameplay is simply sub par compared to games like MW2, Team Fortress 2 and killzone 2. Im going to try a few more times before I decide, but the games a HUGE letdown so far.

I think it's something that has to grow on you after a little while like it did for me, especially when you start out since you have to unlock the better weapons and abilities. It's not as fast paced as something like Modern Warfare 2 and requires some strategy and teamwork in order to win a battle. Sure, it can be a tall order to get one or more squads working together let alone an entire team, but it's pretty sweet and intense when it clicks. 

inclear, : it is not a porn game ;)

I m glad to hear it ;)

It takes literally a fucking hour to download the update for the game. Its ridiculous.

Yea, but don't forget that you're downloading a TON of stuff and in total you'll have downloaded around 1.5+gigs worth of data.

However, they allowed people to download MAG for the past two weeks now. Then again, it's not like the server hiccups are allowing people to spend a ton of time playing at the moment.

remember they opened the beta DL in europe the ... 4 january only  : the day they opened the servers

I think it was 2.3GB after downloading the MAG client from the Store and the 1.5 patch.

I'm gonna give it another shot right now, put a few hours in, then decide what I think.

If you haven't seen my previous suggestions, make unlocking the improved Medical Kit gear and then resuscitation your first priority. That way, you'll have access to a new medic needle thing that will allow you to heal hurt team mates as well as revive fallen team mates (assuming they don't bleed out) for XP.

The XP you get for healing a hurt team mate depends on how much damage they've taken. For reviving, you'll get 10xp for each revive. It's also great to have when you're near by an objective (in a Frag-O zone) because all XP you get is doubled in those areas.

That's how you can easily get 400-500+ xp in one battle while being an asset to your team.

Playing right now, thanks for the help. I think I'm kinda getting into it.

Woops, I made a mistake about the skills.

You want to unlock the medical kit (the first unlock in the first tier), not improved healing. Everything else is still correct, I just got the names mixed up. You can unlock improved healing if you want, but you need to unlock medical kit before you can unlock the revive ability.

Oh man, that was such an awesome time with that party of 4 we had going.

Raven was owning in Sabotage when we were playing today.

Game kinda sucks. Friendly fire + respawning time is the worst thing ever...Sniping sucks ass and you can basically shoot without aiming...The game's definitely not on par with either Killzone 2 or Modern Warfare 2...

I would prefer 126 players with good gameplay and decent graphics rather than 256 players, bad gameplay and graphics.
