SWEET!!!!!!!!!

I'm not able to add anyone to the clan because you have to be online on MAG. Also make sure you're not already apart of another clan

But noob question....how many maps are there total, can you customize weapons, which class is the best/worst, how long are load times, is there any story at all. Thanks!

Hope this helps:

Maps? Like 15 or so...

As far as weapons go, you can rank up like in MW2 to get better ones or to buy better attachments.

You start with a default pistol and your choice of a light machine gun, a sniper rifle or a heavy machine gun; all which can be improved or replaced with better stuff.

As far as class goes, it just matters on how you play and how well your Squad Leaders give out orders.

If you snipe well, then you'll be placed in a position to pick off anyone who dicks around near vital targets.

If you like to help others in the game as more of a support-type player, then you'd level up to become a Combat Medic and gain shit-tons of XP for it.

Those two are just a sample of what you can do in the game.

Load times are a few seconds at worst if the game can't find enough people to play in a round.

This is especially true for the recent flocking towards Sabotage maps.

The story? You choose a side and shoot manz in the face for better lootz.

I'm getting on.

I invited you.
To everyone else I'm going to play fallout for a little bit.
I'll be on in a little bit to add the rest of you

 

[KNUBB]

I'm hopping on now

so for people that played MW2 is this game better or close to it?

It's even-keeled as far as entertainment goes.

There's less reward for just murdering the shit out of the other team and more emphasis on keeping your fellow squads alive long enough to finish the objective.

Also if you scaled shooters from Arcade to Simulation with MW2 and Operation: Flashpoint on opposite ends, this game would fall towards the middle, leaning more towards MW2. :yessir:

Shit is fun too.

 

[Rylo]

Added you KNUBB.

Still have a lot of people to add. Hopefully I can catch up with you guys tomorrow.

I seriously have to wonder what the hell was going through Zipper's mind when creating the factions. It's like they purposely wanted one faction to be super awesome, thus giving them every advantage possible. Better weapons, better maps, fucking heat seeking headshot bullets. You name it, SVER has it.

I rolled with this one group of guys tonight and out of 15 games probably, we won once... against Raven. We played SVER 14 out of the 15 games. It's not like SVER is that much more organized than all of us.

Still a fun game though.

 

[KNUBB]

We tried getting you to join us in a games but you were always in your own game that we couldn't get ahold of you

 

[Rylo]

Good shit tonight KNUBB. Hopefully we all can get together tomorrow before I have to work and I can send out the rest of the clan invites.

 

[Justo]

We're Valor.

Are you asking what armors are in the game? There's heavy, medium, and light. The only thing it really affects, besides damage per round, is speed.

For those of you who have already played the massive online shooter MAG since its release on the 26th, you may have noticed that there is a significant shortage of headsets being used in game. I would say about 30%, maybe less, of the people I have played with are using headsets in game.
Now, for me, I don’t mind too much when the ordinary soldier isn’t wearing a headset, but when a squad leader, platoon leader, or officer in charge doesn’t have a headset, I get a bit annoyed. You see, the point of MAG is to be a FPS like no other game has done, and without communication and teamwork this ends up just being another Call of Duty with a whole lot more people at once. Communication is key in MAG, especially for those in charge. Leaders need to constantly be letting their squads know what needs to be done in order to ensure victory.
Zipper Interactive, it seems, feels the exact same way. According to a recent email from Zipper Interactive sent to Gamestops around the country, MAG will be requiring ALL participants to be wearing a headset in order to play the game starting on February 10th. Hopefully this means they will be releasing a MAG game bundle with a bluetooth headset, but that is currently unconfirmed. I know that many people will be upset with Zipper’s decision, especially those who have already purchased the game and do not have headsets, but I for one think this is the right move. This will ensure that MAG becomes the game it is supposed to be: an army communicating and working together to achieve common goals.
Now for those of you who do not currently own Bluetooth headsets, and want to keep playing MAG, I have a few solutions for you. For one, I highly recommend the Sony PS3 Bluetooth headset. It works great, no static, and also works with most phones that are bluetooth compatible. You can find those discounted new and used on the Platform Nation Amazon Store. Just click on the link I just provided and type Bluetooth into the search bar on the right side and the PS3 headset will show up. For those of you on a budget, go ahead and click the link above and do the same search and you will be able to see a lot of different options that are cheaper for bluetooth headsets. Buying from the Platform Nation Amazon Store not only saves you a bit of money, but also helps out our site so we would really appreciate it here on P*N! Ok and finally, if you don’t see a headset you like on the P*N Amazon Store, there are tons of other options out there to find an affordable bluetooth headset. And yes, I did make 3 links to the P*N Amazon Store… ok 4 now, but it really does help us out! =)
Anyways, I hope this decision doesn’t put off a lot of people who are already enjoying MAG or prevent more people from purchasing it, because it really is a fantastic game! I hope to see (and hear!) all of you on the battlefield! Oh and one more thing… RAVEN FTW!!!

Hopefully this doesn't backfire, but it is a good idea.

wow thats a pretty ballsy move by zipper. theres way more people that dont have headsets that actually do.

Zipper honestly doesn't care. I remember they did this same thing with SOCOM. The 1st one didn't come with a headset like the 2nd one did. In the end it worked out into becoming one of the best console online gaming communities

yeah but they are forcing people to buy a headset. so say you dont have one, on top of paying 60 dollars for the game your gonna drop at least another 30 (for a shitty usb one) to get a mic. thats kinda fucked up. they should split the server between people with mics and without. if you dont have a mic you can go play in silence with all the other people without mics, and let the people with mics play together.

yea hopefully Gamestop has some headsets when i go there, i've found times on MW2, where i just wanna shout "SHUT THE FUCK UP" but i really cant, 1. no mic, 2. my mom would looking at me like "What the hell?" lol
