Ah, wonderful. Then I have something to try tomorrow. Perhaps I'll join the group too.sooperman said:
MAG Beta Opens to Everyone Soon
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
Already done, posted an announcement in the group. Posted in your chat to get things rolling to, though I may have assumed one too many things.IdealistCommi said:
I wouldn't suggest it personally, as I said I probably won't have the game permanently so I wouldn't be an ideal person to govern over a group.sooperman said:
Another annoyance I find is that when scheduling a game, you need to make sure the time is good for everyone around the world. A problem within that is that nobody knows what their GMT timeframe is, so it gets confusing pretty quick and people don't come. We're going to need to overcome that obstacle.
Make sure you have the headset's registration number, though. You set it the first time you turn on the headset, and it should be 4 digits.Monocle Man said:
Join, man. It'll be fun; we'll play together and get some more people with us.
Then we could probably get someone else from the group, if you will not be staying.Jumplion said:
This should help, but you can always count on some people not following directions. http://www.worldtimezone.com/
I am GMT -5, what time zones are you guys?
It's a pretty awesome shooter with little to no lag at times. The game is actually mainly divided into a series of small skirmishes that gradually turn into a bigger and bigger battle as the game goes on. It gets pretty intense after a while, with bullets and grenades going everywhere (not spam-age or anything, just explosions and sirens). Overall it's a pretty nifty shooter.Hardcore_gamer said:
All the games I've played in the beta, with around 3000 people on at one time, and a bunch of simultaneous games running, ran fine with few if any hitches of lag. Mostly bugs, but rarely gamebreaking. It's not as laggy as people think it's going to be.arc1991 said:
So I'm downloading the beta now. (what idiot had the genius idea of not letting the Europeans download the game before the server went up?)
I believe I've been downloading it for about 10 minutes now, it's at 3% and it's a quarter before 7 o'clock. If I can't finish the download and lose my progress I'm going to be so very unhappy.
Couldn't they allow background downloading?
Oh well, at least now I have some time to learn my French and mourn the loss of the side-feather on my trilby. I did not expect it to simply fly out of the band. Oh well, once the snow melts I should be able to get my hands on a common pheasant.

I believe that if for some reason the download stops, it starts back where it left off when you download it again, so don't worry if you were at 99% and had a blackout or something. It does take a while though, but it's worth it I believe.Monocle Man said:
I never got 2 play the beta because i wouldn't wait for the download to finish but ive been following it for awhile though and i hope it works but i have a question.
How exactly is the leadership thing gonna work, i mean when somebody is promoted to leader of a squad or whatever and he decides to tell his squad to go to a certain place, most of the arseholes you meet online these days are just gonna be like eh am not listening to you squad leader because my middle name is RAMBO so am gonna do my own thing.
...that will make for an epic failure in almost every fight, its just gonna be 256 people running around randomly killing each other.
please get back to me with an answer on this.

You get double the normal XP if you follow your squad/platoon/company leaders. There will always be some objective that needs to be taken care off, like fixing AA Batterys, repairing the bunker, blowing up the door, etc... Every squad is assigned a leader, and if the leader knows what he's doing then everyone does fine and the game goes smoothly, even with the assholes. If the leader is a dipshit then nobody will listen to him and things will go south very quickly, or worse, if there is no squad leader (it can happen, usually it's when the squad has no one qualified) then there's only one objective that is ever put into effect and nobody wins.King_Julian said:
It's really dependent on the squad leader instead of the 256 other guys. If the squad leader is good, then everything is fine and people just do their thing. If the squad leader is bad, then nobody will listen to him and people will do their own thing. There's a difference.
