Info: Intryck från MAG

Läst en hel del bra intryck från folk som spelat MAG och jag kan bara hålla med dem:

* The 256 player maps are really big.

Picture Battlefield Bad Company maps but with no artifical barriers between each section that unlock. So basically an entire BF Bad Company map being played on. I love the map design as well, reminds me alot of Frontlines.

With so many people in the match there's action happening everywhere usually centred around the capture points.

I just find the sense of scale in the game so refreshing. For example I was on a rooftop healing a sniper that was taking out ground troops below. The draw distance in the game is huge so way off int he distance I saw 8 or so enemies parachuting into a warzone, with another 10 or so guys from my side charging in to take them out. To the east a light armour carrier was snaking down the street ... mowed down a few of our troops. Then our side caught on and rockets started to rain on the carrier. Meanwhile in the west a pitched battle was happening over another control point as 20 guys on either side collided in a warehouse.

Battles for control points are frigging intense ... as in OMG are nailbiter intense. But not stupid like how Killzone 2 would get.

The game rewards you for playing smart. Game is also one of the first I've played where supression fire makes a massive difference. LIght machine guns can still get some decent distance on them so you can force snipers to duck for cover while your squad runs across the open distance to cover ....

So many things I like about MAG ... just kind of spilling out some impressions.

Best moment of the night ... I managed to get behind the driver seat of a light armoured carrier. I had no gunner with me. I turn a corner and 10 enemies are parachuting in. I pancaked at least 4 of them.

* In all honesty the 64 player game mode did not prepare me for the sheer spectacle of a full on 256 player Domination map. Totally different experience both in terms of how the game flows as well as the feeling of being in a warzone.

My buddy and I just kept on "ooohing and ahhing" as the match ramped up.

Look at your time in lvl 1 - 10 as training for Domination. I can't wait to get in with a good clan/squadmates and tear shit up. I can also see that leadership skills will be REALLY important down the road and make a huge difference in how Domination maps turn out.

edit: One other thing for those of you not sure ... give the game at least 2 hours to hook it's claws into you. My first hour I was kinda "meh". But then as I levelled up and things started to click I was completely sold.

* I landed in a couple groups of people that were really into it. They had mic's knew all the maps and were more than happy to get me up to speed. That's when my enjoyment of the game really started.

Spelade idag i tre timmar, fungerade jättebra. Men visst uppstår det problem. Zipper ska fixa en patch väldigt snart för linloggs problemen. Det är detta BETA:n är till för. Hitta dessa problem innan release.
