Big COD fan Wasn't all in to Killzone2.

What is MAG all about? Can you give us some details?

 

[acv987]

I get bored after I get to the highest rank. I usually am # 1 or 2 every round.

Killzone was fun single player but online sucks!

I dont know know anything about the MAG game really. I just got an email with that video in it.
Here what I found online:
IGN: MAG Preview
looks pretty sweet!

It's made by the original Socom team....The Socom on ps3 now is done by a new developer - Zipper, the guys who are making this MAG game, were the original developers of all the other Socom games on the PS2.

Other than that, they say that these battles and skirmishes can last up to an hour or more - so it's not like you can hop on, join a team and be the first team to 20 kills and then the game is over..It's essentially trying to be as realistic as possible with intense and long battles and firefights...286 people online battles i believe? Thats f'ing insane. Multiple units and squads in each division....it will be sick.

My only complaint thus far is that, as of a few weeks ago, they decided to go with a 1st person view. It may be just me, but I was hoping for a really sweet 3rd person game ala' Socom that would take the shooter genre up just a notch...but, alas, they decided to go with 1st person...like..everything...else...ugh.

KZ2 is a good game though, in my opinion...Lots of complaints about the controls, but for me, I thought it was/is a damn good game..I need to get back on it, it's been awhile since I've played it.

Thats good to hear because the current Socom is a pathetic shell of the ps2 Socom.

got 360 and PS3. I wish the super computer would get better online games. All my online play is with the 360 right now. Gears and Battlefield BC2 right now. Was super in COD on the PS3 but got bored after a couple months. Midnight Club on the PS3 was pretty tight for like 2 weeks but the online racing sucked bad. PS3 needs better online games to get me back online. My PS3 is basically a juke box and internet browser at this point. Also very useful in charging my Blackberry.

 

[acv987]

For me its the controllers. Nothing feels the same as a PS3 controller in my hand!
Plus im a huge Bluray junkie

The playstation 3 has some great games! My favorite is called 'Linux' I wonder if anyone has played my other favourite game 'FreeBSD'?

 

[invidregis]

I just sent out my second 360 today for he red ring of death. Whoopie, just when the new content came out for fallout 3.

 

[tribalmasters]

I wish Microsoft would fix that damn ring of death issue once and for all! A great machine ruined for many I guess, good thing they extended the waranty!

M.assive A.ction G.ame is gonna tentatively be two teams of 128 players(total of 256) with each team being broken into squads of 16 players. It is an First Person Shooter(just like Cod4 and W@W) even though its developer(Zipper Interactive) is most notably known for Socom series(third person perspective). The game will have dedicated lag free servers(my buddy is testing now and that is confirmed ZERO lag). You will be able to play as a LONER within your squad,just roam around killing random people(Board is something like 10 square miles in virtual distance). Another option is to play within the TEAM/Squad structure and follow orders from higher ranked players(earning Xp for each order sucessfully completed). There are vehicles and air support,multiple bases to defend/capture, and it is ONLY a PS3 game.

My PSN is THE_TRANSPORTER_, add me if you play alot of COD4 or W@W,Socom or MLB the show 09 or Nhl09

I love 360 ahem FLASH!
Now its my turn for the questions, since I accidently bought a ps3 lol would you be so kind to enlighten me on FREEBSD, my friend has linux on his, so I can hammer him w/ questions about that, not like that Perv!

 

[Cancer]

well the short explanation of the FreeBsd is;
FreeBSD is developed as a complete operating system. The kernel, device drivers and all of the user utilities, such as the shell, are developed/held in the same tree, whereas with Linux, the kernel, user utilities and applications are developed separately, then packaged together in various ways by others.So basically its like Linux,yet has more of its parts integrated into its core,rather than added in afterwards. It plays all the main software and some cool games. Yet i never use my Ps3's(2) for Linux(even though its installed) because i bought a cheap computer with a HDMI output and if i need to search/go on my computer on my T.V...i just switch outputs or use picture in picture. Sony crippled alot of access to the CPU and the Ps3 does not have alot of RAM to run really cool stuff IMHO.Love my Bluray Though!!!!

 

[tribalmasters]

FreeBSD is a secret power feature embedded deep within the 68030 microprocessor, plugging one into the Sega Mega Drive will unleash the true POWER and make you become GOD!!!

Caution: you may become Dr Robotnik

i NEED this game! anyone want to trade their ps3 for my 360??? SOCOM is awesome.

 

[Iken]

Ahhh Thank you kindly Gentlemen I look forward to playing w/ this thing tomorrow if it arrives as promised by Ups hehe

 

[alex1407]

There is no better game than Mass Effect for 360 IMO!!!!

 

[NY JETS]

I'm still a COD3 junkie even though it came out 3 years ago lol. Anyone try the new Fight Night, I heard it's supposed to be sick.
