   This is really incomparable to games like MW2. If you play call of duty style you will hate this game die a lot. If you at least attempt to work along with your teammates and form strategies it becomes one of the best experiences you can get from a FPS. Even if your not the best FPS player, you can still do decent and have fun in this game.… Expand

   I have mixed feelings about this game but I can say one thing for certain. It is not going to make game of the year. First off, the controls are really really poor. Why on Earth does SCEA still not provide options to configure controls to the industry standard of COD’s? Are they trying to force us all to get use to their controller scheme so we eventually buy other SCEA titles such as Killzone 2 and Resistance? Or, do they take too much pride catering game play to more hardcore mature players and not want to see all the jumping cheaters from other games have an easier time porting their play styles into SCEA’s titles. I’m sorry but if you read Metacritic reviews it is COD’s control layout that players don’t complain about and SCEA’s titles that get massive amounts of complaints for being unresponsive and backwards. And so they make this game from scratch with Zipper Entertainment and continue to go backwards for whatever reason. This is enough to ruin the game for me. The other point of contention is that this is supposed to be a massive squad based game. 256 players, WOW…..and then when you play you are confined to a squad of 8 vs 8 and it is chaotic every man for himself anyway. The other 240 players exist only on the map somewhere but you never encounter them. Great, you fooled me. Why not call it a massive game of 600000 players since we are all on the same server? Not to mention that but to form your squad you have to level up and grind with 7 other players who are swearing hillbillies as far as you can tell. Unless you start this game day one with 7 friends to make a squad it is going to be ugly for a while unless you just want to use this game as a newer version of Team Fortress, although I think that one is actually more entertaining. But, I bought MAG for the squad based play and so far it is irrelavent. In all fairness, maybe as you level up all this changes but so far with the things I just mentioned this game will never exceed a rating of 7 in my eyes. I will give it 50 hrs to change my opinion, but it is not looking very positive at this point. I should also mention was booted off from two games by disconnects and about 30 games/scenarios of the 50 I played ended within 20 seconds as a team victory/defeat that obviously wasn’t played. Wait times for a game were excellent though (10 seconds). There are tons of players playing this now as it just came out.… Expand

   256 players is the draw, to bad they didn't supply a good shooter to back up the large numbers that can play this... got me a trade in I guess. Should have came to Metacritic earlier before buying to learn up on it :(… Expand
