MAG - 256 player online battle love

Has there been any word on whether or not the game will have 4-player splitscreen online play like Warhawk? It sucks that 4-player feature is lacking in Resistance 2, Killzone 2, and Battlefield 1943. I hope I don't have to include MAG in that list. :(
 
I really like how this game is looking. Jan.26 is perfect for me so I don't have to be switching back and forth with all the games im getting this Fall/Winter.

No.
 
The update is downloading a lot quicker this morning than last night. If it wasn't for the 'special hours of operation', I might have been able to check it out before work.

Yeah, I jumped from 8% to 51% in less than 20 minutes (without an error)! I'm hoping I'll be playing before GamesCom.

Yep me too! I'll have to play in the 10am PDT - 1pm PDT time slot. I'm on the east coast so I'll play a little bit after work each day.

did our server crash last night? :-)

First time in the game, didnt know what the fuck i was doing.

I have two points:

1. Our dear italian friend will stand in the corner moving his head from left to right really fast (you know who you are!)
2. Its Zipper guys, all you need to know.

Wait...how many MAG threads does GAF have?
3 I think, mainly two in use. This one as the main thread, another for beta talk, and then a dead one for bullshots.

There are barely any impressions unfortunately.
 
I spent 5 hours today downloading the giga-update and spent 10 minutes playing it. This game is baffling, I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

It's overwhelming at first but will get easier the more you play.
I like this game alot.
 
The was a ~30MB patch and ~300MB update for me yesterday. I did not get to play though. I did see that all Qore subscribers will get in the beta soon.
 
I am surprised by how good the game is. It would be more fun if the randoms I play with would communicate more. As it is, I end up running around alone or in packs, but not talkng to anyone.

A new European trailer was posted today that I thought you all might enjoy. We took dialogue submissions from the community and cobbled the best ones together with some new footage:

Nice trailer. Must admit it wouldn't sound nearly as classy if you had American accents speaking over it, though.

- btw, is the music from the game?
 
Not liking that trailer. I understand the need to push the selling points of scale and features, but more than anything, you guys need to show something that looks exciting. Raw battle fun, or a focus on the command system in action.

Just saw the video after reading your post. I don't know man, I liked the trailer's direction more. It's showing the identity of the game. It's not all about action, but teamwork. Action action + ordering would be less I believe. People would probably lump it into just an action shooter, after seeing this it looks like a bigger socom. Socom was all about teamwork, loved it. This video is great, I liked the music too, went well with it.

I love the community voice-overs, it makes it feel very sentimental.

I am also loving this marketing push on faction loyalty, a pretty brilliant idea getting people to feel unity that starts in-game but can also be felt on message boards and forums.
