MAG beta keys

[Ziero]

So what builds are you guys using? I originally maxed out athleticism for the sprint bonuses and the extra 20 hp was a lot more helpful than I thought, as well as buying a few attachments for the large machine gun.

I'm pretty much doing this right now, with a little side step to pick up the med stuff. I prefer to be right in the thick of things so heavy guns, more life, faster sprinting and stuff really work well for me. I might start getting some of the explosive boosts and mines/gas though to help out in defensive situations, as I find Grenades hurt my team just as much as they help when trying to defend an objective.

Though I'm just curious, did you ever unlock the 2nd tier heavy machine gun? I'm curious as to how useful it is over the first tier gun in both power and stability.

Na, I just suck with the few basic attachments. It's hard to say how good they are now since they did change the stats in the final game, but in the beta they were completely useless. They cost 5 points to unlock, 200cc more to equip, and would be substantially worse in every area aside from damage, and the damage increase was maybe 1/10th of a bar. I'd hold out until more information comes to light, because 5 points is costly and the amount of times you can respec is very limited.

How is the community? It seems a game like this hinges on the ability for people to follow orders and move as a team, unlike MWF2 where ever map is just TDM in peoples eyes. Are there a lot of fags just running around fucking over teams or do people stick to orders for the most part?

[Ziero]

Depends on the game you join to be honest, sometimes you get lucky and find a good squad, and others you get retards who drive the APCs directly into gates between two bunkers and let it get blown to hell for the entire game.

My suggestion, find a clan and make lots of friends.

*snip*

That's pretty much what I heard from the beta as well. I guess I'll just stick to simple enhancements to the main gun and try and unlock other weapons. I'm not too worried about re-specing though since I know there are some things I'll just never bother with. I have a general idea of what I want, only hard part is prioritizing everything to unlock.

When you get teams that play tactically it's really fun, there's almost always one or two pull with full meds unlocked, or at least the first one you so can get rezzed on the spot most of the time.

And I've never been on a squad that was disproportionately classed ( like too many snipers, not enough medics ). Sometimes you get retards that run off but that game play is extremely tactical once you hit Domination

Taking forever to receive my copy, Amazon says Feb 2nd, but I'm hoping it'll arrive before that. Fuck you free super saver shipping.

This has been my experience as well. People who get separated from the squad die quickly and are too far off to get rezzed. People learn really quick to stick to objectives and listen to squad leaders.

I am loving this game, hit level 9 last night. I have 5 points saved up and I haven't decided which skill path I want to follow yet. I really like sniper but it sucks on some maps and assault rifle is really good on other maps.

Max level is 60 points total right? how many points does it take to max out one weapon skill path?

[Meresgi]

Ugh it's so fucking annoying when your entire squad just runs off to charge the enemy spawn on Acquisition, leaving you as the only person defending a bunker. Because "omg I needz da kills". Also idiots that jump into a vehicle as i'm coming to man the gun, and just blaze off leaving me standing there.


When people actually come together though its a fun as fuck game, and a really tactical.


I hate sabotage when my team can't understand the concept of divide and conquer, they all like to just plug into the same doorway and get mowed down instead of using the 2-3 other methods of entry and flanking the defenders.

[Eggroll]

I just picked this game up yesterday and I am going to set it up when I get home from work today. Everyone at my work joined SVER so I guess that is the route I will go as well lol. I hope there are enough guys on the other factions to fight against.

Looks like it will be fun.

Some like the AR tree take a ton of points to max out, but 12-15 points will usually get you everything useful in a particular tree.

they need to fix the xp system a lot, like bonuses for getting kills in range of objectives or like an xp tick for being around an objective. the way its set now it encourages running off like a dumbass for kills like in MW2

[Pooky]

You get double exp for any actions on or around an objective, they're called "F.R.A.G.O." bonuses and they show up in green text under your "+ X exp" message. Its been like that from the get go. >.>

Fuck that, this game doesnt have nearly enough glitches and hackers to be fun!!! >:O




Kidding aside, I like this game. Anyone know if I can trade in MWF2 for some cash off on MAG?

[zoobernut]

Right now you could probably sell used MW2 on Craigslist for $40 that would be the best way to get "credit" for it to go towards MAG.

I am seriously addicted to this game now that I have gotten past level 8 and all modes are unlocked.

I have had the issue with vehicles before too but it was much more of an issue in Battlefield1943 for me.

[Kwijiboe]

All I'm doing right now is running around resuscitating people. 10 XP, another +10xp if your squad leader is assigning objectives. A lot of the time the squad leader is as dumb as the rest of your team and is off charging the enemy's forts.

I really need a clan or a group to play with.. Its getting frustrating.

Well right now wouldnt be a good time to try and resell MW 2, Toys has it on sale new for 44.99 and amazon has it for 45. I think gamestop is still giving 30 for it but might have some trade up incentives.

Oh if I can trade it in for 30bucks at Gamestop i'll be all over that. Guess ill have to check tomorrow when i'm out.

Ok well heres an idea, if you plan on getting FF XIII, Bioshock 2 or GOW 3, they have a deal going if you trade it towards the reservation of either title, you get an extra 25% and if you have a GI card another 10%. SO you could take advantage of that.
