Ok people, it’s on it’s way. I was checking my e-mail today, and like a lot of you who own a PS3, I got a code for a chance to participate in the M.A.G. beta coming out. Carl and I got to play this at E3. Let me tell you, it’s a blast. Now, for those of you who don’t know, M.A.G. is a FPS from Zipper. The same guys who brought us all those S.O.C.O.M. games on the PS2.
Now, the difference is that M.A.G. is a fully FPS title. No switching views from a 3rd person far, close, and FPS. Also, what is different is the fact that M.A.G is going to support 256 players per room! For any of you that remember back in the day on S.O.C.O.M. you only had 256 players per server. Now, this does have the potential to be chaos in it’s fullest, but what Zipper is doing is implementing a command structure into the gameplay. As you rank up, you get the ability to command greater numbers of players in the room. First, you’ll get the ability to be one of four squad commanders. Other levels include Platoon Commander, Theater Commander, General, etc. I’m not sure what all the titles will be yet.
For anyone that want’s an online FPS where you can actually use team tactics, this should be the game. We still will have to deal with the people that will only work on their own stats and leave you hanging, but it’s looking as though the command structure should help with this. There will be different objectives to do simultaneously, so you shouldn’t have everyone bum rushing one spot.
Hopefully I will be a part of the beta and can give details and hints as things progress. If your one of the lucky ones to get on and you see Darkdragon007 that’s me. Maybe we could start a Techpedition clan and show everyone else the true meaning of “Dirty South”. HEHEHE Go South!
