That thing that looks like a small electricity gun? I fired it in normal mode and thought it was something to disable vehicles or something?

rp2000

no that's the repair gun - use it on buildings or vehicles

Is it the case in MAG. That you have to select your faction, like WoW, and that once you have chosen thats it, your stuck on that faction and can only play that side ? If this is the case are there differences in weapons and skills etc depending on faction ?

After playing 1 game of domination, I love this game

I am not very good and don;t have a clue what was happening but the "Massive" and "Action" tags are justified.

I think I got 6 kills 5 assists and died 22 times. Not bad considering i do not know what we are supposed to do, i just look at the map for enemies and try to kill them, leaving the objectives for those who understand

Edit: I have just tried and it looks like you can only have 1 profile/faction at a time. option to create one only appears if you have no profiles saved as far as I can see.

This version allows you to have one created character only, which is tied to one faction only. You can change faction but you lose all experience etc. The final version *may* let you have more than one character, but it's unlikely. It is worth mentioning that your character is tied to your PSN account, so you can use say your US or Japanese account to create a second or third character.

How many times can I say character in one post? Character.

/edit - I'm glad you're enjoying it rp

Is anyone acting as the Squad Leader and talking you through the objectives?

Yoko · 23 Sep 2009 at 17:09

ic1male · 23 Sep 2009 at 17:33

That Shinji bloke is heading toward looking like a complete ****** (if he wasn't already).

Wyrdo · 23 Sep 2009 at 17:36

Codes are deffo going out now as I just got one. I will give it away later to someone who did not apply. It is implied that everyone who applied for the competition (36k) will get keys, so if you applied, wait for your key rather than asking for a spare.

seems there is no bullet travel? was aiming slightly ahead of running ppl and missing where as when i aimed at them running, was able to hit them, gameplay seems fun, espically if ur in a squad who use the comms.

Just depends on the distance. At long range, like 600m +, there is def bullet travel delay and I was shooting ahead and hitting my targets.

Game is sick. I was never even remotely as impressed with Killzone 2 or Resistance 2 as I am with this beta. Just gonna hit it now seeing as the servers are up for the early eve again

And just to add to the question of what faction to join, def go Raven! It's the M4 faction. But then again, ever since CS 1.3 I've been that way inclined. I had a go with the AK-47 but Raven seems to be the faction to go for if you want teamwork and English speaking people.

PS: Domination (256 players) server is up!

I think they said every one who signed up will get one this time round. To make up for the mess

jamie2497 · 23 Sep 2009 at 17:48

If anyone does have a spare i would like one please

I already recieved 5 messages on PSN and 2 OcUK trust messages

Give me 5 mins to decide what to do with the key and to try figure out who is waiting for a code and being impatient and who (like you) is genuinely not gonna get one, so is more deserving.
