With the new announcement that PS3 owners will get a console exclusive beta (most likely a deal Sony worked out to rival MW2 with xbox imo), do you think Sony will turn on the hype Machine more for BF:BC2 than MAG?

Me personally I was never impressed with MAG even playing in the beta, seems like a generic shooter with the only feature to mention is the 256 players.

Battlefield BC2 impressed the hell out of me when I saw the offscreen video of the game. Looks graphically amazing, destructible buildings and more vehicles. I think it would be smart for Sony to push this game as if it was like a 1st party game.

Battlefield has the name to sell consoles and by the looks of it, it has much more to offer than MAG does.

So is MAG gonna get left in the shame bin with Socom Confrontation?

MAG actually has alot of features, but i didn't like it much...i tried to like it, but i just found it boring.

 

they ought to change the name to Forgotten Action game(F.A.G.)

MAG didn't impress me in the beta but when i saw BC2 i was omg it looked so beautiful in terms of graphics and it looks like it could be better then MW2 but thats just my opinion.

Yeah I have to agree with this

Doesn't make sense to market it when the game comes out in January.

No but you see God of War 3 is already being marketed and so is Heavy Rain, yeah MAG seems forgotten

MAG sucks, so it's no small wonder they're brushing it under the carpet.

MAG isn't that bad of a game as you guys are making it out to be.

It really is the "teamwork" game. This game relies 100% on teamwork, so I doubt it will be a hit among the casuals. I expect many Socom Vets to migrate to this game.

The gunplay is amazing though, there are a lot of good things about MAG.

MAG is destined to fail,  and sony knows this

how come everyone got offended at me when I said MAG was a dumb idea for a game

BLIZZARD BURN IN THE FIRES OF RAGE

STARCRAFT2 DELAYED TILL POSSIBLY JUNE 2010

uh because we know you are biased, same if I was to say Halo: Reach is going to fail, you get the point

Y'know, I seem to remember quite a few of you doubters posting in a thread about how Demon's Souls was gonna suck.

I agree, I had high hopes for it because of Zipper and what I've heard about them and Socom, but after playing in the beta a couple of times I didn't like it.  Perhaps I didn't give it a shot, or the fact that it wasn't as refined as a full game could have been but I just didn't get a good vibe while playing it.

yeah maybe because what you played was a beta meaning it's still a work in progress and no i don't think Sony forgot about it since we are still in the wake of GOTY uncharted 2

Well said... it is a great game if you have company you know to play with...

We've actually given it a chance and played it, you haven't. And you're biased, anyway.

MAG is a weird one. I don't think marketing would help it anyway, decent game though. Reminds me of Counterstrike for some reason.

huh, why dont soo many people like this game? i hink that its better than killzones multiplayer and most other multiplayer games out there. I was disappointed at first but when you upgrade to the next assult rifle (best one) then you start becomming good, know what to do, become good at being a squad, etc. It has also gotten much better since the last couple of patches, expecially the last one.
