Hey guys I was thinking, everyone has their own opinions about MAG being a game that will rule the online shooter genre, or will fail as other large scale multi player games. So what do you think?
Poll: Do you think MAG will succeed ?

It's a great concept but I can just see it going wrong in a few ways. One being the organisation of each team and another being connection issues.
So did the Paris Gun. Always remember Murphy's Law. Still, this looks pretty good.BolognaBaloney said:
technically, I don't see the problem. Lets say this was your average multiplayer shooter. Say there are 1024 people playing in 12 player matches. Let me get my calculator..... Thats 88 matches playing at the same time. Now instead divide it into 256 people a match. Thats about 4 matches. There are still the same amount of people playing and surely its easier to have 4 matches atthe same time, rather than 88. So unless I've missed something out because I don't know about it, by that reasoning, MAG should handle just fine, which means I will be getting it.

Your a troll.
The game has 4 different game modes with different player caps 256, 128, 64 and 32.
Everyone does not have a headset, everyone are not douchebags and overweight just becuase they have a headset.
Mag has a special server system that will reduce lag.
And finally, why is a generic, run-of-the-mill shooters bad? COD 4 anyone? Unoriginal and genius.
Now i'm going to surprise you something very similar as already been done. Infact it had been done around 2000. It's called MMORPGs yes i know it's different in a few ways but that would be nit picking. The simple fact is if WoW can manage 11 million people on different servers than the PS3 can easily manage 256 players on one server. The only concern is long term because they will have to keep managing these servers because just like a shoe it will wear and tear.
And just a quick fact for everyone that compare it to CoD or Gears of War that's a different type of internet connection where it literally relies on the players themselves it's a cheaper and faster way of making multiplayer but as seen before it limits people to around 20 players.

The only gamemode that uses the full 256 focuses on stradegy nd realism. Anyone who wil go on that for fraggs and teabagging will promptly be kicked.Bartiism said:
Standard team deathmatch is 60 or so, like you said.
OT I doubt that the above mentioned stradegy will be... difficult on PS3. Unless of course it comes with a microphone*crosses fingers*.
From what I have heard, it sounds like it will work.
They have servers specifically ment to hold 256 people, and with their chain of command system, you won't have 127 teamates screaming at you,just the other 7 members of your squad.
