In this video, I provide a walkthrough and review of the multiplayer online game, MAG for Playstation 3. MAG immediately stirred up controversy in the first person shooter realm when they claimed to support 256 online player matches. Sony and Zipper really pushed the marketing message over the past months and has set expectations that 256 players will be everywhere, all the time. It’s easy to look at MAG and expect Sony and Zipper’s promise to be apparent. When I stream MAG on live.bwana.tv, people often ask “Where are all the 256 players?”. I try my best to explain the situation, but I really can’t. That is primary motivation behind this video. I want to show you MAG. I want to show you why we love MAG and want to show you how 256 players is not the main thing that makes the game. I ask that you please watch the video in its entirety and have an open mind. It includes an introduction, walkthrough of the SVER interface, a domination match (256 players), and my final thoughts. It is truly massive (41 minutes) so you may have to consume it in chunks. If you want more information on the mechanics of MAG, I highly recommend you check this series of videos by Zipper Squad Leader – blog.mag.com Leadership Roles – blog.mag.com The Sniper – blog.mag.com Rapid Assault – blog.mag.com Field Support – blog.mag.com Direct Action – blog.mag.com Commando – blog.mag.com The Skill Tree – blog.mag.com Domination Mode blog.mag.com Acquisition Mode – blog.mag.com Sabotage Mode – blog.mag.com …

for some reason sver has the worst weapons, but they have won much more games than the other 2 factions

@AliceDarlinn There will be no MAG 2. Theres no need for it, and your already playing MAG 2 btw. Its MAG 2.0, not 1.0(anymore). And bird, stop your camping. Don’t be mad that your faction was never ranked 1.

The thing I don’t like about it is the time it take to kill some one

@ZigBoB138 I’ve played this game from when it was released and I have to agree with you. I have not left SVER but in the begining we dominated both Valor and Raven. Lately, Valor has been keeping pace and there are some games where Raven does the same. I prefer it that way to be honest. I rather have games come down to the wire then totally dominating. Either way, still one of my favorite games.

Honestly, with all the shooter games I have played I still find this one the best. I like the fact that it’s more of a team based game and not just a run and gun game. I like the fact that there are objectives to complete and there are multiple ways to earn XP. It’s not up there with graphics compared to some other games but the gameplay in my opinion is better then any other.

@paintball171717 I just prestieged from Valor to S.V.E.R because S.V.E.R completly dominated valor and raven, plus they have some of the best guns in my opinion. And now all of a sudden Valor completly dominates and work as a team instead of run n’ gun. Raven is ok, sometimes they will dominate and other times its like your playing against level 1′s. But if I had to pick one to start out as it would probably be. 1) Valor 2)S.V.E.R 3)Raven. But thats just my opinion.

i love playing this game, its so fair because there is only like 4 things that kills you in one shot, and most of them you have to earn.
