Hmm...Well thats kind of tricky...If it gets metacritic of 40,still it has sold huge ammounts..Epic win from epic failure...
Well since beta has been positive and popular ,I don't think it will flop from sales and reviews point of view.

That actually makes tons of sense. Why don't other games do this? How do you review any FPS when 90% of the experience is online?

Because its not hard to get 16-32 players


It's still not the same experience as playing with the average Joes you'll be playing with it when it comes out. Before the game his released there aren't many hackers or people who abuse exploits, etc.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

I would agree with that. I'd still be worried/annoyed with reviews if they're going to be like IGN's recent open beta preview though.

"Modern Warfare that"

Shouldn't this have happened for alot of other games already released??



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

This is understandable.

Makes perfect sense.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Still you have premature reviews being glorified on the net.....what a biased industry.

I could be wrong , but I really think MAG is going to do much better then expected. I played the Beta a lot, The game is truly amazing , the only thing is , this game is a teamwork game, when on the beta if you had a lot of new people with no experience on what to do on the game , I could see how you may get a bad taste in your mouth, but ounce played a bit so you know what is going on, and you build up a team that knows what the hell is going on, it really is an experience alike no other. Ounce people really get to play and see what it is about, they will truly love this game, Zipper did a terrific job. For those of you who may of had a so so experience in the beta, don't give up on the game , give another change, I really think you will regret it if you don't, Good Luck
