I'm still slightly shocked that I'm playing against that many players all at once... I want to know what the rest of the escapist thinks about these massive games.
Poll: Is anyone over playing against 126 players at once? (MAG)

I remember thinking of 32 players in a game as big.
I didn't even try to comprehend MAG. It's always fun to try to imagine every one of the 255 other players in a game with me playing on their PS3; I think mostly of a bunch of different whiny 5-year-olds who whine and cry over the other faction's overpowered weapons.
(lol, I play as Raven.

The last option in the poll makes me laugh at the irony.
While I do agree that 256 players is pretty amazing for a mulitplayer shooter, at the end of the day, it pretty much means 255 assholes.

No no, 255 instances in which Harbinger ASSUMED CONTROL but then failed to do anything. As usual.Captain Blackout said:
Anyway, on topic, I've played some MAG at my friend's house, and although it is cool to have that many people in concept, what ends up happening is that individual engagements rarely go above 30-odd people. Perhaps with more vehicles or team-based elements it would have a greater impact, but at the moment it just serves to provide background noise to whatever you and your immediate allies and enemies are doing.
Wait what? Really? Battlefield had 64 at once, with vehicles and all. What was special about Resistance 2?Ghonzor said:
I would never play anything over 32 players TOTAL in one game because anything bigger would just feel less. I like it when I meet 2 or more players that become my rivals in the game and I find it gets less when the games get bigger. Killzone 2 is my limit. I like to feel that I stand out in a game and not get murdered countless times just because there's players everywhere and get lucky kills. Also I feel the tide of the battle more in smaller games (6 on 6 or 5 on 5 I prefer). In CoD and Halo you can feel when you're losing and when you're winning and also when it's close. It's just more rewarding when you kill a guy you know rather than just a guy that happens to be on the opposing team.
Well, in my own opinion, and after careful consideration, I must say that they're absolutely fantastic. Shit is blowing up everywhere, airstrikes coming in, snipers blowing my mates head off, medics running round like headless chickens trying to save my useless arse. Essentially, fun.
I want the PS3 for two reasons:
Heavy Rain
MAG
However, I don't buy an established console because of two games. When a new generation of consoles has just arrived, two awesome looking games can tip the balance of my decision, but this late in the game its not enough reason for me to buy a system
