Sony unveiled the premier gameplay trailer for MAG (Massive Action Game). I said it last year, I’ll say it again: 256 players is entirely too many. Things get hectic enough when you hit 32 players in a match. Imagine how fast you’re going to die when there’s hundreds of enemies firing around your spawn point in all directions. While it’s a huge feat to make this happen, I don’t think it’s going to be all that much fun. Just my opinion, what do you think?

You are right. Too many people. It will come down to cover system and cover spots, map size and map quality, and overall gameplay. We will see when it is Released
I used to be part of a number of Battlefield 1942, Vietnam, 2 clans. Anyways here is my opinion. If you just hop on a local pub most people don’t talk and you end up with a bunch of people who just do whatever they want which sucks. It is ridiculously fun when you have a large group of people (clan) to play with as you can actually play the game the way it was meant to be played.
My concern with MAG is that 256 people is just too many. Even with battlefield the best servers were usually 32 people especially since most clans couldn’t field 32 people.
Lol, all you have to do is walk into the battlefield and you get shot with 100 bullets at once.
do u have a ps3 or are u just here to troll.
lol, not trying to be a troll. Don’t have a ps3, wish I did, but I’m just broke right now.
I dont have a PS3 but heres my opinion. 256 players WTF!? Unless the maps are like the size of a GTA4 map or something this game is going to be quite stupid.
it just seems like there won’t be a full 256 almost ever playing unless there is only a handful of rooms to play in. Having played Counter Strike for a long time, the large servers were never usually totally full and that was with significantly less people.
alright guyus im trying to see your point here but. its not straight 256 players in 1 area holding down there triggers. its 8 man squads on entirley different sections of the map doin seperate objectives. so its 8 on 8 combat until the end when it goes into a few “hot Zones” which are 64 player combat at the MOST.
If you take a game designed for 32 (or 16, 64, etc doesn’t matter) players and then trying to imagine playing the same game with 256 players of course it will seem like too many players. The 32 player game was not designed to be played with 256 people. Whereas MAG was designed to be played with 256 people. Thus level design, command structure, game objectives, are all taken into account. Point being please don’t instantly dismiss a game for attempting to give players a unique experience. Especially in the overcrowded shooter genre.
