MAG 2.0 |OT| of Ultimate Relaunch Party with Playstation MOVE!
- Thread starter Lagspike_exe
- Start date
How many sales did they loose by not having this available as a DL title since launch?
I think plenty of people would have succumbed to a direct impulse DL download during it's freshman year.
I bought it after Move support was confirmed but I would have purchased it in January if it was DL (like promised pre release).

MAG is apparently also free for EU PS+ users but with a level cap of 8.
edit: might be for the US PS+ instead/also.

Had MAG for a month when it was first released but sold it. Just gave the trial a go.
I know people love it in here but it's the same messy, loose and low budget feeling experience it was before I left. The Move control scheme is amazing (although it felt like a disadvantage at first) but I'm not finding any fun here. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or missing. I want to love MAG, I swear!

I am really enjoying MAG. I am absolutely awful, but I have my moments. The one thing I cannot understand though is the Move scheme. After playing for about an hour yesterday I decided to try out my brother's Move with the game. To put it bluntly, it's terrible. It's no different from controlling FPS games on the Wii, and I hated it then too. Extremely clunky and only useful when you have enemies around the center of your screen. If they're off to the side, forget trying to turn your perspective while aiming.
Does everyone experience this at first? It's not like I am a complete motion control virgin; I've played COD3 and Red Steel on the Wii. I just cannot see this being all that viable, but lo and behold, most people here seem to prefer it.

Wow, these looks amazing on my MB Air 13" (would look even more amazing on my mobile I bet lulz). Not really representative but shows how fine it could look on a decent PC.SolidusDave said:
Screenshot time! (click for original image)
Mulitqueue works really well, if you're not looking for a specific mode you get connected much faster.
Does someone know what the numbers are representing?

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So I DL'd this... have seriously considered buying for the last few months. Anyway, after doing the tutorial I tried to get into a match. 30 mins passed... I guess it was trying to find a game? I don't know. Turned it off and went to bed. Next time I played it was the same thing... just sat there at some menu screen. It was at least 15 mins. I was staring at the screen like in complete shock/disbelief. Turned it off. Never actually got to play a match. I don't have time for bullshit like that.

Btw... these days lack of control customization is unacceptable in shooters. Seriously... I can't put crouch on R3? Fuck off devs.

I haven't played in about a month, but unless you're playing at peak hours it will almost always be awhile if you try to play Domination(256 players) or Acquisition(128 players). Sabotage(64 players) is usually a relatively short wait. Or play Suppression, which is team death match and only 32 players. And if you ever bother to re-download it, make sure you level up your medical supplies ASAP.recklessmind said:

ah yeah, it makes sense now.
Has anyone gotten the Duteous Maximus trophy AFTER the last patch that added multiqueue?
The requirement used to be to Be on the winning faction for 10 Directive matches. Now it's Be on the winning faction for 10 multiqueue matches.
Anyway, I'm fairly new to MAG (I just hit lvl 60 last night) and I didn't start playing that mode until they changed it to multiqueue. But I'm positive I've won 10 multiqueue matches by now, and the trophy never unlocked for me. I think it's glitched now.

sounds like this is a real problem: http://forums.mag.com/t5/Issues-and...s-unachievable-after-2-10-PLEASE/td-p/1014731

Fuck, now I have to buy this game.
Being a sniper is hard, having to hit people 3 times before they fall.
Sometimes they are nice and standing and you can just pfft pfft pfft, but sometimes they are running and jumping, you take your aim, score a direct hit and it is as if nothing happened.

Acquisition is still my favourite mode. The new mode Escalation is very confusing though, took a while to understand what I was supposed to do. Basically, all three factions try and get A, B, C after that D open up. This is where it gets kinda confusing.. sometimes you or the other faction capture D and hold it until the bar fills up but sometimes it just goes back to A, B and C. Probably has to do with which faction captures more letters before getting to D.
is this still healthy? i loved the beta but never actually bought it by the time it came out because i played it way too much...
i'd like to try it again but it sounds like theres no one playing it any more if it takes more than half an hour to get into a game? or is that not normal and something else was up for that guy? plus i dont want to deal with the clan/rank kicking nonsense and it would nice to actually be able to play the big game types (acquisition was always good)

Just jumped on this again last night, had forgotten how good it can be, is there an active Raven GAF still or have they flown the nest? Would really like to get some games with a nice chatty squad for once, co-ordination people! Oh and is it just me or is it now impossible to get into a domination game thanks to multiqueue?
Domination is the only one that's not as popular anymore, at least I don't get in a Dom match when I multi-queue. You can get in a match within a few seconds or a few minutes at worse. Acquisition is still the most played game mode so you don't have anything to worry about, plenty of people still paying.panda21 said:
I used to dislike Suppression but I've grown to love it since I do much better in it K/D ratio wise. Always have 2 or 3:1 K
ratio in it. Probably because during objective based games I'm more concerned with running around repairing/sneaking past enemy lines then killing. This weekend, in honor of MAG's 1st birthday, Zipper has bumped up the bonus for Happy Hour from 100% to 256% and has made every mode faction neutral. Now Raven and Valor can experience the joy of defending on SVER's maps.
I've been playing a bunch lately and it's never taken me more than a minute or two to get into a match. The changes implemented in the 2.0 patch are great too. I love the completely overhauled skill trees and the new Supply Depot.

Got the game a few days ago and haven't played anything else since. It's so much better than I expected (although I wasn't expecting a lot). Now I just need to get a headset.
Only complaints that I have are knife and freezing problems. Knife is crazy in this game. I think they buffed it in the patch so now it kills you with one hit from 5 meters away. It just doesn't fit with the game's style in my opinion.
It is just in Domination, but it happens almost every time I play it. At some point the game just freezes and I have to reboot the PS3. It has happened twice when I pressed start at the middle of the match. Also it happened twice when I was shooting at somebody. I hope they fix it.
Other than that, it's a great game. Reviewers should review this one again since it has changed so much after the updates. Also the original reviews were written too hastily.

I actually played some last night for the first time in probably 6 months, and was pretty surprised at how well the player base has hung on. There were roughly 3000 people on and using multiqueue we never had to wait more than a minute for a match.X-Frame said:
tl;dr:
-Faction neutrality for all maps
-Multiple freezing and crash fixes
-CP refinements and adjustments
-Character slot subscription fixes for downloadable version of MAG
-fix for Duteous Maximus trophy glitch
-Etc .

"Adjusted CP/ XP conversation rate so that lower-level players have the highest yield of CP-earned to XP-gained, with a lessening effect as they gain levels"
Ohhhhh, nice.
Ohhhhh, nice.

bad gameplay lol
Just picked this up today. Is there a GAF clan still active (I was thinking of joining Raven anyway, so if the GAF clan is on Raven like I'm reading, and still semi-active, that'd be awesome)?

is the latest game mode dlc worth it? I don't think people play interdiction anymore.
Sony really need to change their dlc strategy for this game. they already have character visual customization like helmet and masks etc. they could try making all game mode and maps free, but charge micro transaction dlc with outfit, skins, or weapons etc.

I wonder if the fact that nobody plays Interdiction anymore is why it's only $4.99 on the store while Escalation is still $9.99.

Multi-Queue is great, but when I select every game mode, I almost always get stuck in Suppression. Then if I select all but Suppression, I more likely to get put in Sabotage or Acquisition...rarely Domination. I just seems like it puts me in whichever mode fills up the quickest with players, which ends up being the modes that require less players.
Maybe it's just me, it seems like multi-queue needs to do a better job at randomizing which game modes it puts players into. When I select multi-queue with all game modes, I want to play a good mix of modes, not three Suppression matches in a row. :/
Anyway, I was LTTP to MAG and love it. I just Vetted from SVER to Raven for the first time and am still having a blast.
