Love this game, have finished SVER and Valor and I am on to Raven, but have not played it in ages

Did put 140 hours playing:-)

Needs a new race, or a solider of fortune or something like that, can jump onto any map at any time

I think the game really needs a good mix up and more importantly needs to sort the servers out

Huge update incoming for MAG, looks like they have listened to the fans Beta test starting this week!

Anyone still got MAG? Looks like we will be able to make multiple characters now

not played it in ages

damn bad company 2 is to blame

but will be up for some gamernights

Just read that from the 31st of August we will be able to buy extra character slots, US price only so far but its 99cents

Tell you what, I loved the beta of MAG back in pre release but then nobody I knew bought it and even on forums it seemed like nobody realy cared while I was too busy playing other stuff to care myself, however now that I've no interest whatsoever in the COD franchise and the only decent thing on the FPS front that's due for rest of the year is the Vietnam dlc for Battlefield I'm seriously considering picking up MAG now but is it realy worth it from a 'team up with friend list people' point of view? Nothing annoys me more than constantly being stuck with randoms who don't work together in games that are based on teamwork so without wanting to put pressure on anyone if I did pick it up would I have some of you guys to play with on a semi regular/regular basis?

As for charging for more character slots that seems a bit harsh but Metal Gear Online did the same and in that they cost three pounds so I suppose it's nice of Zipper to not try completely fleecing us if they're just a quid when the UK price is announced and it probably will be a pound rather than the Sterling equivilant of a Dollar

When is this beta over? I think I will give this a rent and see if its improved.

Ive just maxed out S.V.E.R and frankly I wished I hadnt.I went RAVEN due to the guns.
So far ive had to contend with the horrible, brash purple colour of the display.
I miss S.V.E.R but the idea of doing another 45 hours with this game make me want to trade it.

I was browsing my local game shops last Friday and saw this for a tenner so figured it was worth atleast checking out and despite realy liking the beta back from 2009 when I first loaded this up and started playing I started to regret my purchase. It sure doesn't do MAG any favours that I'm playing it off the back of Bad Company 2 which has far superior visuals and sound and considering that MAGs been out for around six months now there's still a surprising amount of people just running around pretty aimlessly not realy doing the objectives that they're supposed to do and not realy working together as a team, even failing to use their medic skills on fallen comrades most of the time. The shooting itself's alright but the overall experience was realy nothing worth writing home about

Then it all changed.

By chance I got put into a squad where I was alongside a clan who did play it properly and all of a sudden it switched from being what seemed like a fairly pointless excercise into something realy special. I'm always skeptical when people say 'Well you realy need a good team in order to enjoy this game' or 'You need to learn it first before you'll enjoy it' but I got talking to those guys, joined their clan and now for three nights in a row I've had realy good sessions on the game just playing with them. So I'm realy enjoying it now, level 54 S.V.E.R.

I had a quick shot on this new beta aswell and the skill tree, currency and maps all seem realy good. Infact, one of the maps inparticular (I think it's called Isla de 'something') is one of the best designed FPS maps I think I've ever come across. That whole 'Buy a new character slot' thing is realy terrible though. It turns out that rather than actually buying a slot you're just renting it for 30 days. Hmmmmm

If anyone else sees it for a tenner and they like shooters then I would definatly recommend it at that price but anything more and it might not be worth the risk as I think you realy do need to get a good team together to get the most out of it

You went from 0-lvl 54 in under a week.....Jesus good skills mate took me ages

I bought this on release but soon gotten rid of it! CRAP! End of!

stick with me kid you will be there in no time, I played it for 134 hours and got SVER and Valor but got bored by the time I got to Raven

I blame battlefield bad company 2
