It takes a little planning so far as I could see from Beta. The game aims to encourage splitting forces by objective or role, as did Resistance 2 with 64 players, however so far as I could see there's nothing actually stopping this either, you've just got to make it happen. Clearly it would be mayhem to have oddles of players in close proximity all the time, but it does make for a nice experience when it plays out correctly - but it doesn't seem sustainable for long periods. For some reason the annalogy that comes to my mind is the big pie fights in Laurel and Hardy, which would actually be a pretty hilarious mod if this was on PC - 256 gamers engaged in a standup pie fight at the same time. |
I think it's clear there was a market for this imaginary version of MAG though, and possibly a larger market. Look at how many people just in this thread saw that video and now want the game. This also is extremely anecdotal, but I frequent Craigslist everyday and I noticed that on my local section there are a lot of copies of MAG being sold for $40-50 used. The only other two games I've seen in the first weeks getting sold back so quickly were Tony Hawk's Ride and DJ Hero. The excuse is always the same that it just wasn't their type of game, which lends me to believe that when people bought a shooter advertised as 256 player battles, they were expecting something far more larger in conflict and hectic than what Zipper created. I think there's a big market out there for a game that does the Saving Private Ryan version of chaotic large scale battles, and some people got duped into thinking MAG was that game.

I think I would shit bricks if I was that one enemy seen in last screenshot and I came up on 128 enemy players
Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

The idea of having a chaotic game does entice me more then the game they designed. Perhaps they could attempt to add in some new levels to be more similar to the one in this trailer eventually, which might lead to people wanting to play the game.. |
Someone (on this site I believe) mentioned making a map for MAG like the zombies maps for COD:WAW and have 3 people be the zombie hunters and have the other 253 people be zombies. I would definatly buy that map lol.

There was a game we used to play on COD4 where we would have one zombie and three survivors. Survivors could use a pistol. Zombie had to use the knife. If the zombie killed a survivor, the survivor switched sides and now there were two zombies and two survivors, so on and so forth. I think it would be awesome to have a MAG mode like that where it starts off with one zombie and he infects more, who infect more until there's only one person left.

I joined a party once and they were playing a game like that. Except the zombies got to use shotguns and the survivors got to use whatever gun they wanted. No grenades or anything. It was pretty fun. I wish they made a mod like that on the COD games. I don't know if the MAG environment/gameplay would be as good for this type of thing, but it definitely was fun. Do they have mods like that on the PC? I only play console FPS.
i joined up with raven, and regret it, its weird SVER is way more organized than the other two factions, allowing stuff like this to happen :P
on Raven i barely ever hear from my platoon leader or squad leader..........
what's so special about this.. this is my average game..
Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous
Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5, Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.
