    MAG (Massive Action Game) who's getting it?

    Welcome to MAG – a world of massive online action on an unprecedented scale, where 256 players take to the battlefield to win glory and the right to command squads, platoons and even an entire private army.

    MAG is set in a world where governments use Private Military Corporations (PMCs) to do their dirty work. Three have risen to the top – SVER, Raven and Valor. Battling for lucrative government contracts, these three factions have become the new world military standard.

    You’ll choose your PMC and join an eight-man squad to take to the field in a private army of 128 real players. As you prove yourself, game by game, you can decide how your career progresses. Unlock new skills and abilities that allow you to specialise as a sniper, a medic, a scout an assault operative – or whatever else you find yourself to be good at under heavy fire.

    * Take your place in a 256-player battle - fight on multiple battlefronts, use airborne landings and on-call tactical strikes to secure strategic objectives
    * Every operative forms part of a tight-knit eight-man squad that are given objectives set by player officers and change as the battle reaches its climax - the more you work together as a team the bigger the reward
    * Rise through the chain of command and earn the right to lead an eight-man squad, 32-man platoon and even command a full 128-man army.
    * Survive battles and complete tasks to unlock weapons and specialized equipment. Customize your look, show off your achievements and fine-tune your combat style
    After reading up on it and watching some video's off IGN from the E3 live demo they did there its looking pretty damn nice, its going to be hosted on Sonys own servers so no player hosting. Its only being released for PS3.

    As the title asks I am for sure,, I'm not one for eye candy so I dont care if its looks arent prestine however being able to play to such a large scale is what im looking forward to.

    Game says its released end on Jan/2010

    Yeah I'll be getting it, I hope they do a verison where they sell it with the headset and a decent price cause I could do with the official one after I sold my old one.

      I'll probably buy it. Looks quite amazing from the footage I saw.
      The demo/beta is a week before the official release and i'll definately try it out then.

        Wait so that's what MAG stands for? What a stupid name.

        Don't have a PS3 though so I can't get it, but it looks pretty cool.

              Which is why the thread is in Sony so your pointing out the obvious for no reason.

              Regardless of it being on a console I dont yet know of a FPS PC game that is going to be on such a grand scale so for now this will do me.

                    Are they releasing a demo for this as well? I've yet to get my hands on this. I had a beta key but my PS3 wasn't connected to PSN at the time

                      not sure about a demo but you if you have a US Psn account you can download the beta off the Playstation Store,

                      Hint; Beverly Hills, 90210 is a good place to start

                          Surely, by the 'end' of the games life, everyone will be generals?

                            Of course, just like every other game with ranks.

                              I'm more concerned that once you choose your faction your locked into it, when the player counts decrease are there going to be stacked servers all the time? Guess they could quite easily allow you to switch though with a patch or something.
