Nice op, can't wait to read through it tomorrow. You could always mention the amazon deal if it's still going on as a pre-order bonus.
I'm still debating on the faction to roll with. May be a last minute choice.

You are probably not being serious...but just in case, if anyone is "concerned" that they are not "hardcore" enough for MAG...don't worry. It's a lot of fun even for someone that is more "casual" - just make sure you play with friends (join a GAF clan!) and it'll be a lot better. The first couple hours can be rough because you are getting used to everything.

Always thought the gun at the bottom made the cover look all weird. Also weird that the American PMC isn't on the NA cover.
The CE does not sound like it's worth the extra £5 at all.

Great work J-Rzez! Very nice work. Can't wait to be a part of Raven again.

Join one of the GAF PMC clans (Raven ftw). Teamplay is the most important thing in this game so they'll be more than happy to help you out. By helping you out, they're making their chances of success greater
Haven't played a game like this where I've been so keenly aware of positioning/helping out my teammates. If I see a gap on the frontlines on the map, I'll fill it. If I see a man down, I'll revive him no matter where they are. If a squadmember is getting sniped, I'll for-go whatever I had been doing and go to flank the sniping position.
So yeah, join Raven or SVER. I'm sure the SVER guys are just as helpful as us Raven folk were/are/will be. That's my advice for the best possible introduction to the game.

Huh, I guess it's too early to give up hope just yet.
The bold grabs my attention. It's how online gaming should be.
Cheers.
Great point for us against Villa today!
So apparently some people didn't realize this tactic (I suppose that's what it is). But when you're laying there bleeding out and you're unsure whether or not a medic is on the way, you can look at the squad portion of your HUD. If there's someone dead and awaiting on respawn, the meter will be drop down every second. This is how you can find out when the next batch of respawns are happening. So you can time it correctly and force the bleed out without missing the next one. There's a slight delay once you hit X, so do it when the meter is around 30%.

What I said should have come with a health warning though. You'll only experience this when working in either a squad where the majority of people have a microphone or where you know the rest of your squad. Sometimes, when playing solo, you'll be put in a squad of people who think the object of the game is to get the best k:d ratio. It's not.
During the beta I didn't have a mic and the only drawback I felt was that I wasn't able to help my team as much as possible. You can still play and contribute significantly without one, but I'm definitely geting one for retail.
Plus I want to be able to laugh manically when I kill a sniper and they get to hear me.

I am seriously debating on trading in my MW2 for MAG... What would you guys say?
damn, there was an awful bug earlier today, there was a guy that was sliding while laying on the ground, my brother was the one that saw it and I was cracking up at the idea, but then he showed it to me.
It was on SVER's Sab map, at the northeast corner of the obj A building
oh and sorry iam and xploited, my brothers wanted to try, so they ll be playing for a few more matches, I ll probably play in like 30 or so.

I'm done for the night actually. Man, we got destroyed both matches. Like, "losing in the minimum time needed" kind of destroyed.
I figured I'd play a few matches to close out the night. Had considered switching to SVER hoping there'd be more players online but instead saw both of you online on Raven. Those were probably some of the quickest matches I've played. Sort of disheartening. :loltempleusox said:
Guess I'm really doomed to a life of loving awesome games that never get their due...KZ2, MGO, UC2, and now MAG.
But god I hope I'm wrong about MAG and how popular it gets. Because I f'n loved the game at both stages of beta I got to play.
Favourite fps since KZ for sure and I love the gameplay and mechanics. MW2 made such a splash, but I played to like lvl30 and tried the MAG beta and never looked back.
.....need to buy a slim in the next few days it seems.

I just preordered the game and I'll be going Raven so if there's any kind of list to get on for that I would like to be put on it.

That was game data (installation) download because of beta restarts, not patches. Patches will be significantly smaller.
