I have been playing the new game M.A.G. for the PS3 right now it’s in the final Beta phase. The game is similar to Call Of Duty only much bigger 256 players online. I like it but some don’t seem to care for it much I will say other then a few things it’s nothing really new. I am having fun with it anyway and will buy it when it’s released. The main trouble I have had is that it’s hard to cycle through gear to get a grenade ready. I like how in some games you can hold a grenade ready before throwing it so you can time things. This game throws it as soon as you hit the button I believe. I can’t say a lot really it’s massive and I like the ability to upgrade your gear and modify your player. I have been playing as S.V.E.R. I think it’s pronounced sever. They seem like a rag tag group out of Russia and Asia Punkish in style. My character wears a hoodie like outfit with a hockey mask painted with a skull. I also have a heavier armored guy with a Russian helmet who also wears the mask and carries a machinegun. This game needs a bit more work but really I think it’s a cool game it has had little advertisement. If you have a PS3 check it out it’s due to release this month from what I hear.
The game play is different than most of the shooters I have played only because of the size and number of players Battlefield 2142 was the only one I can think of that feels like this. I will just talk about one mode for now in Sabotage you attack or defend 2 points A or B. Once they are captured a third is revealed at this point the attacking force respawns in several ways one is by airdrop. There are other modes that offer other things vehicles, airstrikes, helicopter drops. It’s a big game 2 of three factions fight Raven, Valor, S.V.E.R. you choose who you play as creat a character and each has their own talents and gear. As you progress you gain points that you can use to buy other weapons and tools. Higher ranks gain the ability to command. It’s simple really.
