MAG is now half price on PSN - full game download, makes it 9.99 I believe.

Well worth it still, yes the community has changed... a lot of players moved on, but theres still plenty out there enjoying the game and if you like the teamwork aspect of a FPS get into a clan and get involved.

Its a game worth working at to level up, yes it might be intimidating early on as there are some very well established clans, BUT at the same time you will never experience anything like a Domination match of 128 v 128 players fighting to retain control or gain control of the map. If big battles are not your fancy, theres 32v32 TDM, 32V32 Sabotage, 64v64 Acquisition, 64v64 Interdiction and also a first iirc of having 3 different teams fighting on one map 32v32v32 in escalation... all the PMCs fighting on the same map to hold the key points, do you help your enemy to rid the others or can your PMC hold it alone! (The latter 2 modes are purchasable in a DLC)

If you like your COD ranking type things, well its upto level 70.. you get both XP to level up with and CP which is like cash to purchase new weapons, upgrades, armor, uniforms... everything basically to customise your 5 slots as much as you want. Outside of that you get medals and ribbons for battle honours all things worth going for.

Try it, PS3 owners who like FPS games are mad not to have imo.
 
Hmm, was wondering whether to keep this or not.

Not put in an awful lot of time (only bought few weeks back), but if the DLC is cheap, may well look at keeping it.

Its gets better when you lvl up, I have the game for while lvl 52 atm its fun when your squad works together but recently I just get board (maybe because don't have clan or regular people to team up with).

As for the DLC Escalation the weapons are greats, only tried the assault rifle and the LMG for sver much better than the original guns. (btw you have to buy the weapons in game which I though was bit cheeky)

The Escalation game mode is nice feature but I don't enjoy it, as usably just running to one room trying to cap it and defend think the map layout needs improving.

Anyone have Interdiction dlc worth getting?

Wwhat faction do you play eyetrip?
 
Personally MAG is far more squad heavy than KZ3 especially needs good leaders marking Frago. I havent been in it since the Move stuff was added...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Definitely worth playing but as mentioned it's very teamwork orientated, though you can get by as a lonewolf doing sneaky jobs on the AA or motor pools etc

It's worth trying to get in a clan and use a mic even just to listen in. The mag forums have loads recruiting you find that they are big in size or 100+ as for example my clan can have 40 members on so we fill platoons up and the teamwork is assume

Clans often arrange wars now as well for more edge to things. Its a game you have time to imo
 
Ended up buying this out of impulse.

For quite a cheap price and under 5GB disc space, I figured why not.

Got a lot of catching up to do though.
 
Awesome, got it as well. Played the beta waaay back and it was a lot of fun and have been meaning to go out and pick up a cheap copy recently but this is better as I much prefer it sitting on the HD and not having to bother getting the disc when I want a lazy quick game.

Just going to take an age to download it now heh.
 
Only just gone past 50% downloading at the moment. Mostly likely more downloading i.e. patch updates, when I finally run the damn game too.

There's plenty of time till the 30th when the price offer ends, so just have to remember to grab the two DLC packs that are also available.
 
Interdiction and Escalation.

I probably won't be playing them as well, but just feel the need to grab them.

From Wikipedia;
Zipper Interactive released their first DLC pack for free on the PlayStation Network on March 25. The DLC features a new kind of grenade, skins, and special editions of the light machine guns. Zipper released the second DLC pack on April 19 with new sniper rifles and a new armor type.

Zipper Interactive released a new DLC pack called MAG Interdiction Mission Pack, which is the first DLC pack that costs money. The pack features a new 128-player game type called Interdiction. The DLC includes three maps and also features improved heavy armor and enhanced vehicle combat, new unlockable trophies, and new ribbons.[24] The fourth DLC entitled Escalation was released to try with the beta version of MAG. "Escalation" will be the second add-on that cost money. The original version of this DLC was finally released two days later according to the blog with the new game mode Escalation that comes with three faction themed neutral maps to play on. New trophies, ribbons, and guns will be included in the pack.

Decided not trade in and have bought Interdiction at least. Not put much time into it, and like mahnsikir reckon I will only play casually.

Though if anyone here up for some games some time, give me a shout.
 
Played for about 30 minutes so far and finding myself getting like 1 kill, many deaths, but still winning due to being on the SVER side. :D

Really hard to see at first before adjusting the in-game gamma settings.

Ended up buying the Escalation DLC, so may try that out later on.
 
How is everyone getting on with this? I'm liking it but it's tough going, this is no large hit boxes CoD shooter. This reminds me far more of old Battlefield and CS on the PC!
