MAG New Beta

[Korten12]

Well if you're a MAG player you probably know about the new Beta testing they are holding, with the new guns, skill trees, gamemode with maps, etc... What do you guys think of the new Beta?

I wrote a review about it since it would be hard to summarize in shorts, well I can say that it is great. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.228252-Kortens-Review-MAG-New-Beta

So as I said above, what do you MAG players think of the new Beta?

(FYI, this thread is for MAG players not for ppl to say, well I dont like the game, or any variation of that.)

For MAG players who didn't know of the Beta:

Go to the PSN store, go to latest and you will see MAG with the words Beta on it.

Download it, have MAG in your PS3, and once you finished downloading it/installing it.

Boot it up (it requires you to have MAG in the PS3 to play.) download the update and then play at these times:

every Monday through Friday

What is this "MAG" that you speak of?

Seriously, I remember that game getting hyped like none other then it kinda disappeared into the ether. Is there still a community around?

Yeah, it's actually quite enjoyable. I'd suggest it if you're looking for an online game like CoD or BC2 but want to cut the bullshit, buy it.

I can expect the beta will happen, and they will change nothing to the game till about 5 months after release...which is what they did before, I had the beta since before the public beta in January of this year, I bought the original game and they changed much of nothing reported in the beta by people like me.

wait what..? that made no sense... they are having a second beta now, right at this moment that changed a bunch of stuff... a lot of people are reporting stuff about it on the MAG forums...

Its a MMOFPS by Zipper for the PS3 read the intro of my review to the beta to get an idea of the game: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.228252-Kortens-Review-MAG-New-Beta

Honestly, I got MAG a while back, I really enjoyed it for awhile, then I got tired and sold it.

I assume you need the game to play the beta?

 

[Marik2]

Yeah I played the first beta of it when it came out and it bored me to death like Killzone 2. Its just...the guns all sound the same and I even saw the full game and it was still boring.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Wow, I completely forgot this game ever existed. Now THAT is some shitty marketing.

 

[Korten12]

I bought MAG the day I got my PS3, and I have to say, I did not enjoy that game in the slightest. What exactly is in this beta, and why should I care about it?

read my review to get all of the info: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.228252-Kortens-Review-MAG-New-Beta

How do you get in the beta?

I still play MAG to this day, I love it.

But I want to get in the beta.

Tell me now

Go to the PSN store, go to latest and you should see it.

[Irridium]

There's a new beta? Huh, should probably check that out...

 

[Legendairy314]

Beta testing an expansion? Sounds a little odd but I guess that's one way to build some more hype.

 

[Korten12]

Does it suck significantly less than old MAG? If not, I see no reason to get it.

I guess you didnt read the edit, this isnt a thread to hate on it.

Any mention of MAG is an opportunity to hate on it.

And you can't really make a thread asking what people think of something, then telling them not to think poorly of it.

I did not ask your opinion of MAG, I asked current MAG players to tell me their opinions on the BETA.

*Snip snip snip*

IS the Beta still running? I've been trying to connect just now and I can't get a goddamn thing out of it.
