General Information:

Sony and Zipper Interactive's online-only 256-player military shooter enters mass production in advance of January 26 release on PS3.

Originally slated for a late 2009 release, Zipper Interactive's online military shooter MAG has been locked and loaded for a January 26 deployment on the PlayStation 3 since August. Today, Sony Computer Entertainment confirmed that MAG will only see the one release-date misfire, as the North American and Asian editions of the game have gone gold. Sony expects the European edition to pass certification in the next couple of weeks, though no release date was offered for the region.

Massive Action Game isn't an overstatement.

Along with announcing that the game has been shipped to manufacturers for mass production, Sony also said that MAG's open beta test will commence on January 4. The open beta will be available in all regions and ends on January 10 at 11:59 p.m. PST. North American gamers can begin downloading the open beta client on December 22, though Sony reiterated that gamers won't be able to actually enter the game until the first week of 2010.

Developed by former SOCOM specialty studio Zipper Interactive, MAG is an ambitious online military shooter that will feature 256 players in a single game. Each player will assume a different rank on each side, viewing the battlefield according to his or her station. Commanders will see the action from a top-down view from which they can direct lower-level soldiers, who will see from a first-person point of view on the front lines.

Platforms & Release Dates:
PS3 Only - Currently In BETA - TBH

Nah, looking at the description, its going to be well co-ordinated, so its not going to be a bullet fest, more of a tactical sort of game.

Hey uys, this game will suck a bit because of the graphics. Graphics make everything though so don't bother.
Title: Re: MAG - 256 Player FPS - Holy Fuck!
Post by: Steel on 23-12-2009
As long as its playable i dont care. I dont find source games with great graphics, just very good playability.
Title: Re: MAG - 256 Player FPS - Holy Fuck!
Post by: Fluffy on 23-12-2009
Hope they overhaul the graphics and engine on HL2: Ep 3. So that Graphics for Source will be better.

This, also [sarcasm] ftw.

On that note, I hate source for it's lack of playability. Goldsource feels sooo much more smoother I find. Might be just me spending so much time with it though. And i mean smoother in the non-realistic sense.

*facepalm* Graphics make shit, about 10% of the game for me is graphics and the thing only needed in graphics is that you see the enemy. So get out of here STALKER or think about gameplay. Anyways, good gameplay, not many people go sniping like in SOCOM, some people go medic, not many go as an engineer (The guy who repairs). Nice unlock system, where you get a point for every level.

Fags being lone wolfs ?
You will get killed in a while if you will not cooperate with the team and stick with them. It's not like CS:S, you actually need to help your partners who are down and shit.

Are you a PS3 man to? Well then shame to you.

:P I like both systems but have 2 main ups and downs

360: Great variety of games and gameplay Cons: Have to pay for Live

PS3: Some of the best Graphics ever, Plus the internet is free. Cons: Not that much variety.

360 couldn't handle the networking.

Doubt a PC port would come out, it would be awesome though.

You guys are acting like the developers have a choice. They just go to whomever will publish them.

When you'll buy it, tell me your PSN ID.
