M.A.G (Massive Action game)

[Prodigal Son]

256 players seems like a giant clusterfuck.

but, at least there won't be the one man teams anymore.

Clan matches are gonna suck though.

The maps need to be ridiculously large with that # of people online.

That was one of the killers of Socom 3 for me. The maps were too freaking large. After awhile, when the whole team had been weeded through and there was only one or two guys, it became ridiculously hard to find guys.

.

It does. BUt from everything I've read they will be grouping you in squads of 8. Your squad will tasked with it's own objective for each match, which may be 'plant the bomb at point A' or 'eliminate all of the team members from the other teams Alpha Squad'.

Yea and the servers wont lag because they will be dedicated servers from Sony themselves.

[MvP]

This looks sick, but I hate playing shooters with more than 12 people total. I actually prefer 8 (CoD2 ftw)

[Prodigal Son]

Ya we haven't heard that before

Just have to look back to SOCOM 1, 2, and 3. Hit detection was fucking horrible some days. Not to mention the teleporting.

socom 1 was like one of the early console online gaming, I think the first shooter online for a console... the DC had some online games but the Sony servers for socom were pretty good imo compared to player hosts... I can't stand player hosts...

All I want from ANY shooter is the following things...

Clan system: I don't want to use my XBOX friends list, I meet some people online that i dont want on my friends for 1 game, also I want the in game system like socom was, I logged on seen what room all my clan members were in and I could go join that room, it built rivals on servers... I remember West 4 was a hotbed for talent in socom... I played in us central usually and I got used to seeing the same guys here and there, it wasn't a random cluster fuck of a team not knowing anyone...

I loved jumping into a [420] or whatever clan room with my clan and taking it over or showing them up, it was so much fun... and also the tryout rooms were great too, Id make a new name and make myself feel good lol go into a random scrub clan room and win like 4 straight MVPs and people would be like "omg want in our clan"...

SOCOM 2 was the best game ever imo. not just the game but everything else that came along with it...

I never had lag in 32 player servers on warhawk. They'll just up the ante here

[krulmichael]

I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced last year.

I haven't seen lag on KZ either.

[Herm]

I haven't seen lag on KZ either.

I wasnt positive if Killzone had central servers, i thought players hosted matches. I could be wrong on that though.

I know warhawk had a central non user hosted server.

I couldnt agree more. This game was a huge part of me not going to classes. GOAT.Flat out.

A very very good M.A.G that works or even a new great SOCOM will ensure me buying a PS3.

I just got the new Game Informer, and they have a huge article about this game.

I can't fucking wait.

I'm halfway through the article and the biggest thing I've read so far is that the game will feature DEDICATED SERVERS.

[Twigg4075]

There is also some new proprietary engine that they developed that constantly makes calculations to determine who's cheating,

This game sounds amazing.
