I'll be waiting a while. Though i am loyal to zipper, I feel that this may be dwarfed by MW2 if there isnt an outstanding response from first wave players.

Classic Zipper... underestimating the volume of people looking to ask them questions. Kinda reminds me of the old Socom days...

Probably Infamous or Prototype. Or maybe even Ghostbusters now!

Not really that surprising, is it? If they don't have the appropriate console, they're not likely to give much of a shit about what's coming out on it. I have no idea what's out next week on DSiWare, for example, and nor do I care.

The questions are not going through, because they are screened and chosen.

Sounds like Zipper's dancing around certain subjects, if you ask me.

Yeah, but everybody does that.
I'm not sure how I feel about the penalty for changing factions. That's kind of beat.

Like, if you're in the NFL, and you switch from Green Bay to The Jets, you're not going to be a worse player because of it.

Well, unless your last name has an oddly placed R in it.

If the controls and movement are good & similar to COD4, I think it has a chance at dwarfing MW2 because of its MMO aspect. Something I doubt MW2's goal is.

Im really pumped for the Beta.

I can understand why though. Depending on which faction you're in and what territory they are holding (or something like that) you get bonuses. So without the penalty people will just switch to whatever faction has the best bonuses at the time.

MAG Information Thread [Updated 5/9] *Dev interviews/Game Info/Images - MAG - PlayStation.com Forums

They updated the Q & A on the PSN forums.

A lot of good stuff.. but this fascinated me the most...regarding Factions :

Quote:
Factions:

• Three warring factions / Private Military Corporations (Raven, Sver, Valor)

- Their power struggle is dubbed the "Shadow War"

- You must decalre your allegience to one faction when starting the game

- Your PSN friends can only be on your team if they are in the same army as you

- You can change your allegience at a later date

- Each battle you fight impacts your factions standing

- Team with the most prestige plays as the defending team

- Once your faction wins enough in a specific mode, your faction gains the contract for that mode

- Earning contracts gives you bonus points, perks, weapons, or vehicles

• Raven

- Have high-tech futuristic weapons

- Play style will appleal to fans of sc-fi shooters like Halo or Resistance

• Sver

- Weapons arsenal may not be as powerful, but players are more adaptable

• Valor

Only Zipper would do something so completely inane.

You know what puts me off the most about this game? How overworked the whole thing is. It's all so ridiculously overly complicated, to the point that I don't even want to give it a chance.

It's a game. It's pretend. I don't want to feel like I'm digitally enlisting and that I may face jail time if I don't report for active duty in the Shadow War. That's all it's missing, honestly, for there to be a penalty for not playing on a regular basis like it's the Guards or something.

You know what, fuck it. I'm putting the word out now to all developers: All future decisions need to go through me.

I agree with that.. Im sure they'll make some surprise Beta announcement on a crazy day.. like 3pm on memorial day or something... everybody downloads and picks their Faction with no time to pre-organize beforehand.

whichever one I pick on beta release day , im sticking with.

or..whichever one has the M16.

Raven, Sver, Valor

VGF = ?
