re: MAG (Massive Action Game)

Its a Beta Every thing is being tested in MAG from patch Update servers to menu lay out. The "Barracks screens" has New layouts and design changes. The automatic Game servers systems are not due to be built till November.

The P2P update system worked fine during KILLZONE 2 beta. With MAG. It had an error in the code. It was fixed for MAG again with a new client patch.

Uncharted 2 Is a PR DEMO. The Beta test for Uncharted was in JUNE and its was only a load testing, Theres are no bug reports being filed for the uncharted 2 Beta unlike the MAG.
The discs have gone GOLD already for uncharted 2. They can't change the Game code untill release.

So far the MAG Beta Downloads now total over 8GB. If you included all the data since it started. The Store Had Enough problems With all the US users downloading the EU game released last week, As the game was not released in the US store..

I still get my 10Mb/s download as Im not in a Internet bottle neck.

Like every Big map game "Snipers" Have easy kills . They camp Near the spawn point and just get kills. They can't win a game by them selves, as there are APCs. but they get high kill counts.
Every one else is in on the action 99%.
Perks don't work unless your in proximity to a leader or a leaders set objective.

The Game play is A Massive change from Socom but its not as big a step up from Bad Company. If defending you start with with a mass of things to defend but as each objective falls you do get pushed back. In some game modes you can reclame back the objects in other game modes lose the wrong ones and you can't and are forced to respawn at a spawn point back down the map more, thats when the attackers can be stalled in there advance easy.

As usual Ranking up NEEDS to be done. Squad leaders and Platoon leaders perks make the sides more even. Squad leader rank does not happen till rank 15. From then on only weapons unlock per level, to change leadership rank another points system is used. based on wins as a leader, If your side wins your Leadership points go up. lose and they go up a vey tiny bit.
Its up to the attackers to win buy doing all the objectives if they don't. Its at loss for the squad leaders and all defending sqaud leaders get the win and go up in points..

As normal Low rank players will die easy. 3 shots, High ranked players may never die. Medkits and regenerating health perks are part of this game. This means 2 high rated Perked up players can have fire fights for ages untill some one lines up a head shot or unless more player support arrives. This forces Team game play to combine bullet power..
