I hope it’s CLOSED Beta, and NOT an Open Beta. Being in 16 PS3 Betas most of them Closed, I’ve seen it a lot. People in a Closed BETA, play it all the time. When it’s a Open Beta, the people you played with the night or 2 before, you never see them again. I’ve said it many times, being in any Beta Test IS a privilege as your given a special opportunity to HELP make the game BETTER.
In all of the Beta’s I’ve been in, I took tons of notes, reported all problems, because it’s ALL important. What may seem like nothing can have serious ramifications on something else. I would tell them: What was the problem or error I saw? What was I doing at that moment when it happened? What was going on around me, when the error happened? Reporting glitches, frame rate issues, etc., you wouldn’t believe how a minor frame rate issue can screw up 20 other areas in the game. ALL of this is vital.
Eliot, if you would like to add anything, please do. PLEASE make it a Closed Beta, for the ones who have continually expressed their desire, passion, and out right enthusiasm in actually HELPING to make MAG thee BEST POSSIBLE gaming experience should be the CLOSED BETA, LIKE ME

This is the type of the content that I like to see on here

I hope Sony release an open beta that is free to download from the PlayStation Store.

With 256 players per game, the servers are gonna need some serious testing

Currently the design of the game and levels has platoons split into four quarters of an overall area. Therefore, initially at least, you are only likely to run into around 32 enemy players. However, as you progress towards the primary objective, so you are more likely to encounter friends and foes battling from other quarters of the map.

Looking really good, can’t wait for this. I am curious how many people you will get in each section at a time.

The demo at E3 seemed to show that you will be in sections with about 24 other players and you will move through and meet more.

Is this the case?

i dont suppose since sony will need alot of beta testers that the beta sign up site will open again? i missed my chance last year and really want to sign up

Thanks BritishBlue. As far as I know (and have heard) the team are using totally authentic sound effects. With their pedigree on SOCOM games, this is something that they are very used to. Furthermore, keep in mind that *any* sound you hear in the game, no matter how distant, has been created by an event triggered by other players!

It will be possible to control ground-based vehicles, such as APCs. Yes, you can also enter certain buildings within the world.

I hope it controls well, im after a Halo like experience for playstation. I was hoping Killzone would provide that but the controls were to hard to get used to…

Praying I can get into the beta.

Looking great! I’d like SONY to give a BETA key to all those that bought SOCOM:Confrontation as an apology for selling a broken game and taking so long to fix it…still very cumbersom to get online…too many blue screens!!!

MAG is looking really good and I’m sure it won’t dissapoint… will it be pay to play?…distrubuted via PSN?

What about voice chat between friends in the same squad? please make possible to get into a match with friends in an easy way

Not everybody is a hardcore gamer…some of use likes to game once in a while with our buddies in the SAME team!

So far its looking like a day 1 buy! Hopefully we get some sort of demo or even an open beta would be good too.

It’s a great looking preview, Elliott, frankly I’m astounded Zipper have managed to keep it looking so good considering the amount of players in a game. The best war games/movies pay particular attention to the audio; it really helps immerse you in the experience.
I’m curious, how much effort has Zipper put into the sound effects? Did they take sound bites from real world weapons? And what have they got in store for those of us with surround sound systems?
