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

The maps must be epic...
Ridiculous amounts of bullets
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.

Your thread didn't use the VG format.
Epic glad i have a PS3 this looks ..........epic
Sweet, I has teh PS3 too. This is gonna be awsome.
PS3 now has another cool game.
Holy mother of.
I NEED TO GET A PS3 STAT!
*cough* I got the beta, it's awesome, but graphics is just average. Epic gameplay, I always healed people with my medkit. Also, my PSN is Kiieck.
Don't have a PS3, don't want one. Not going to buy one just for this game either.
Its so gonna be worth the play.
Hey uys, this game will suck a bit because of the graphics. Graphics make everything though so don't bother.
As long as its playable i dont care. I dont find source games with great graphics, just very good playability.
Hope they overhaul the graphics and engine on HL2: Ep 3. So that Graphics for Source will be better.
*Sarcasm* Yes, just look at that godawful bloom and hideous shadows. These graphics suck.*End Sarcasm*

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.
Hmm, im just hoping you dont get fags being lone wolfs.
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.
Well lets hope it is then.
Goddddd damnit, fuck you Sony.
MAKE PC GAME NAOW
or Xbox 360...
This game doesn't use source, so stop derailing the thread by talking about it.

Yes, I hope the gameplay pulls together nicely when it's released. :3

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.
Woop Epic Battle XD , Once again Fluffy nice pic xD
THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT PS3 VS. XBOX360, KINDLY GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE THREAD
I like Slyver or w/e. They're totally STALKERs.
Someone is a bit crabby
Oh well
I can't wait for the release, They might sell the title to other consoles.

360 couldn't handle the networking.
Doubt a PC port would come out, it would be awesome though.
Luckily my Brother has a PS3 so I'll mooch from him when it comes out.
Iam going to be a Sniper or Medic ^^
You guys are acting like the developers have a choice. They just go to whomever will publish them.

That is from the group SVER, and they do look like stalkers.
They do, and MAG has a lot of chaos in the battlefield, should be less.
I actually have a PS3 myself, and I'm actually looking forward for this game.
Cant wait for this xD

No, next question.
It's epic, 256 players and no lag.
TAKE THAT XBL !
AW man, I saw some gameplay videos for this. I'm really excited and might actually buy a PS3 for this. It looks really well done. I haven't been this excited for a game since bioshock and the first CoD MW game was new.
