This game is the first of its kind, Never been done before, a milestone in gaming.
I doubt any of you have not heard about this game before and if you haven’t well, i Guess you were born just a few mins ago.

Confession

So i have a confession to make, lol. When news of this game first struck i got VERY excited and a few months later i had already sent the money over seas to pre-order it in the states as i thought after the socom episode (UK got socom  approx 6 months after the USA) i didnt want to be left out, so i preordered it as soon as possible. Now the games released  in the UK just 3 days after the USA i couldnt wait the extra week or so for my import so lol i went out and bought it again (UK version) Looks like ill have a brand new copy of MAG to sell.

@1st

You choose your PMC (Private Military Corporation) choice of 3, SVER – VALOR – RAVEN. Once you make your choice you get the option to go through the training mode and i recommend you do as it will give you 1 skill point to spend and its the skill points you use to upgrade your character, weapons etc etc. My advice is to save that skill point  till you get another so you can buy something a little more supporting on the field, also once your EXP gets to 3000 you can “Re-Spec” your character meaning you take off all your points youve spent and you get to spend them again all in one go which is very usefull as you figure out exactly what you want your characters strengths to be.

Trophy Planning/Plan ahead!

Im pretty sure you will get all the trophies in due time but i think the main ones you want to go for are the 3 Gold Trophies. So to get these i would suggest starting out on your least favorite PMC (faction)  getting the highest rank of 60 before moving onto the other PMC you dont want to be getting highest rank of 60 again meaning you will end up using your favorite PMC which you will then keep. By the way when you reach rank / level 60 you get the option to go veteran which lets you keep all your ribbons medals and stats but you get to choose a new PMC and you start at level 1 again. Thats if you want to get that platinum trophy  that is.

Grand Scale

Massive Action Game, though the name sounds cheesey is a massive action game. The domination games are HUGE! Estimates tell me the map is approx 600 by 600 meters, Yup you get lost alot when you first start playing but aslong as you have a good squad leader all you have to do is run to the flashing target on the screen. You have to remember that your part of a war, on a vast battlefield, and no matter how good you are, it won’t get you a win. Your part of your squad which is part of your Platoon which is part of your company so make sure you have a good squad leader with a mic and if you dont get the rest of your team to kick him. Its so annoying when your in a squad with 7 noobs with no mic’s but you just gotta deal with it. Take the rough with the smooth. You will have games that are impossible to win and you’ll have games where you just dominate game, unless the other platoons in your company suck complete ass which will annoy the living hell out of you. At the end of the day you get a different game everytime which keeps it new but i have to warn you, there are times you will just want to turn it off and call it a day. When that happens just try another game and chances are you will have a great game.

Lag

256 players you say? i bet MAG is nothing but lag. WRONG!…… Strangely Zipper have the lag aspect under control. In the last 3 days ive been playing MAG i have only noticed lag as you know it suring one game. it seems you hit everything your aiming at. Sometimes you may get hit half a sec after you take cover behind a wall but it doesnt happen very often and with everything going on around you, you dont really have time to worry about it. Mag is a respawn so get back out there and help your squad soldier!
