Beta didn't convince me to buy this game, so will wait for some reviews and feedback from people on here before I decide. 256 players online=Lag+Bad Multiplayer maps. Respawning was a joke, it would take like 2 minutes to get back to the fight cause to maps are so big!! But as its only a beta and if Zipper fix these problems it could change my mind

Zipper doesn't have to fix the spawning problem. YOU can. It's called don't get your armored vehicle blown up, it's called take out the AA guns to get Paratroopers, it's called don't let your bunker get blown up. If it's taking you 2 minutes to get to the action, that's called a penalty for not doing your objectives. It's not their fault you don't know how to follow directions.

Wow, that's exactly why I hated it. You should have aslo put you can't try to kill anyone single person because 50 people are with him and you need to pray and spray.


LOL... I have no intentions of buying this game... but shouldn't you also have 50 people with you? So their peoples attention is fixed on 50 other people as well... also... is this any different then any online game? Its easy for me to snipe people of in CoD even when they are with 5 or so people.

It'll be great for those people whom like FPS online. People need to stop judging it by the beta because rarely is there a flawless beta...that's why it's a beta.

Rarely is a beta used to actually test the game anymore. BF:BC2 comes to mind along with MNR. They gave away the codes to anyone who wanted them. So people just play it to see what the game is about and never report any bugs they encounter. Home had a proper beta where it was extremely hard to get into(for EU anyway) and you had to sign an NDA. So there was less leaks from them but there was still plenty. We had a special forum that no one else could see so we could talk about it. Most betas now are just becoming a demo to people who look at gaming sites and not to actually test the game.

Since the lengthy response has already been taken, 

It's not like MAG has had 4 (or more?) beta phases prior to this open public phase. Not to mention the changes it's had in that time.

Hee hee hee.
Yeah, this will change everything, the same way Killzone 2, Little Big Planet, Haze, Lair, Both Resistances, Both Uncharteds, and MGS4 all made me buy a PS3. I own like twelve by this point.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

I'll give it another chance when it comes out but the beta was mediocre at best.

Don't, save your money the last beta was only a server test meaning if you didn't like the open beta then you will not like the game either since it's what's going on the disc.

Thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll just let it slide by then and save for BC2.

It's gonna shift consoles in my opinion, but it won't make a noticeable spike in sales, it'll steadily sell some consoles over time.

I knew about MAG even before I had my ps3 and it was one more reason for me to get the ps3 and I've actually heard that some people seem to be interested enough to buy a console just for the game. It's easily my favorite FPS-game this gen, it works and is simple yet fun and it reminds me of planetside.

only a few of the game modes were available in the open beta....as well as upgrades, weapons and levels.  not too mention everyone was newbish, and clans didnt have time to develop over the short period....

 

Because the game is so team based its gonna take time before the game really starts to reach its full potential.  Get in a clan and buy a headset and you will not play any other fps on Ps3
