M.A.G. Beta thoughts

[BigHandInSky]

Sooooo, after playing the beta for a couple of days, i've found the game to be good, worth buying, but it needs some work done:

1: the RPG does shit all unless you hit someone in his chest

2: when you get to being able to play in the 256 player mega mode, the lag is beyond anything you will ever see [could be just me but meh], you'll get 50 metres or so and then teleport back, now this happened to me after the first 7 mins or so, but still

3:There is a pretty big problem with grenade spam, although it only seems to happen on sabotage, if you haven't played a game when it happens, you have no idea

4:spawn camping, or the areas just after the spawn area, where this happens most is on the S.V.E.R. sabotage area, however this is overcomeable so not that big a deal, but it happens the most when the paradrops begin

5:teamwork, this game is about it, but it is quite rare to find a suad of people who will actually work together, but when they do, you will win in around 5 mins

Edit: /rant

Anyone else find this happening? post your own points, and if this thread has happened before, well i don't give a damn

Trudat.

I dunno, it's kinda fun, but nothing to scream and shout about. But Camping seems to be happening more than usual. Probably cos the Maps are bigger than most FPS's so you don't wanna be runnin about blind

I downloaded it, and I can't get past the menu screen. It has a jumbled up news column, with greyed out L1 and R1 icons on the left, and an empty box I can make glow on the right.

I feel as if I've done something wrong, like say, downloading it from the Hong Kong PSN due to it not being released on the UK PSN yet.

It is released, you have to look for it on the UK PSN

Well, it wasn't released over here when I downloaded the Hong Kong one. I'll check a bit later, after Mad Moxxi's is finished downloading.

Wow, I've played the beta myself, and honestly, have not had an once of fun with it yet.

Firstly, the respawn delay, oh that respawn delay...

20 second after every death, and then 30 seconds of running from the spawn point back to the action, followed by an average of 20-30 of fighting before death.

so thats 50 seconds of nothing followed by 20-30 seconds of mediocre game play. True this isn't always the case, there are time I get on a streak and live anywhere from 2-3 minutes, but that is not the norm.

Anytime where a game makes me go through more time of doing nothing over fun, has serious problems.

Secondly, the leveling up takes far too long, especially after coming off of some MW2 demolition mode. It's just not as much an incentive to keep playing.

On top of all that, the animations are not up to snuff, they just don't feel as smooth as other shooters that are out there.

so, yeah, that's my take right now.

1: the RPG does shit all unless you hit someone in his chest

Realism. RPG ammunition is rarely or never used directly against infantry. The blast goes forward to penetrate armour or wall rather than giving a huge explosion with flames and shrapnel.

its your fault for Lag cause I get none. I dont see any spawn camping. Gernade spam isnt that bad becuase barely anyone dies from it. maybe like 1 person. this is all my opinion except for the lag one.

i dowloaded it and thought 37 mb awsome
then you had to download was it 1 or2 gb of files and couldnt do anything while you wait like a normal download from psn
and thought why not just dowload the full file of psn not their servers!

Just downloaded it from the playstation store, not played it yet.. left it to download today along with a few others. From what ive seen it looks very promising.

There's no adequate transport between spawns and objestives, and there's a respawn delay. There's also enemy snipers constantly watching a stairway that gets lots of traffic who're just picking people off for easy kills.
I dunno it's pretty mediocre so far, nothing wrong with it and there's no lag at all which surprised me but it isn't all that fun.

It's 256 players and you didn't expect lag. Every game lags now and then, just the way things are.

Which game type do you play, because i was specifically talking about the 256 player mode Domination, on Sabotage its practically lag-free, apart from a few hiccups here and there

I got a bit of lag in Sabotage and got none in Domination.

I did expect lag, i didn't expect such a huge amount that i would be telported back 50 metres every minute
