Points to note

1) "The controls offer zippy movement and don't feel far off from the Call of Duty games"

2) "With so many players, we didn't survive long with our original run-and-gun tactic; we had much better luck simply going prone with a sniper rifle and picking off parachuting enemies"

In spite of this, i'll still probably end up getting it.

Another note:

"The game takes place 20 years in the future, in a time when world powers have begun relying much more heavily on the use of private military contractors to fight their battles--what Zipper refers to as a "shadow war" of PMCs against PMCs"

Shadows War - we gotta get a Shadow clan in this Shadow War !!

256 player games?
thats ridiculous.....

could be very cool
or very dumb

imagine having a clan war, with 127 of your mates by your side.
lol

Subject: Re: M.A.G Wed 10 Jun 2009, 22:38

Yeah we're gonna have to work overtime to recruit another 100 players for that one lol

I imagine the 256 players will work like the 60 players does on R2, each team of 30 being broken down in to squads and each squad having different objectives.

I like the idea of the higher your rank the more leadership of the battle you have and you get to boss the squaddies about. Although that will ultimately mean we will all have to bow to the totalitarian DerChrisi lol Razz

The 256 players and the leadership structures are probably just a novel concept, but it's gonna sell a lot of games anyways.

looks awsome and is the first game of its kind.

256 WOW i can't believe they made a online game that big!!!

any body know if theres a campain to it?????????

Subject: Re: M.A.G Wed 10 Jun 2009, 23:54

Yeah it looks good and i can't imagine that many players in a game cyclops

gotta be worth a try

its an online only game i think

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 00:01

just think of the lag, with that many ppl

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 00:04

yeah there will be some serious lagging being done i bet

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 00:11

Just cos R2 has turned in to a lagfest, doesn't mean everything else will Razz

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 00:43

KZ2 lags, R2 lags, RFOM too sometimes. don't think that i can play with 255 other people without lag.

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 00:48

I don't think it's gonna lag as badly as people think it will....Mainly since it's gonna use dedicated servers, not P2P like CoD, and a better one then R2 has.

*SPOILERS*...sorta

RAVEN
SVER
VALOR

I heard that a clan has to pick what faction they want, meh, might change it though....
So, decide on your faction yet? I'm not sure but I'm liking the idea of the RAVEN squad, but most people will probably pick that. I wanna see VALOR before picking it, but SVER looks like my kind of a squad.

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 01:49

lol that's not a spoiler that's just a rule of the game lol Razz

Chrisi - you can't even play GTA online with 2 other people, so you've no hope with 255 in this game my friend Very Happy

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 03:25

Damn, I'm still trying to work on getting KZ2 and you guys are already talking about a totally different game..

*sigh* I feel so behind LOL

Does seem like a kickass game with that many people. You'd probably rarely see the same person more than twice in the game.

I wonder what kind of damage OG could do in a game like that! hah

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 03:33

Well, spoiler or rule or whatever, I wouldn't want people getting mad at me for something that they might not know... Rolling Eyes

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 03:35

Appreciated bud but I don't think there's anyone that anally retentive as to get in a mood with ya bout a game that isn't released for 6 months he he

I like your info tho, sounds interesting if you have to play all as just one race and you can't change it...

I can picture the in-fighting already Laughing

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 03:38

You can change it though, upon reaching some special class or something, I don't know how they figured it out yet. Kills me how school prevented me from going to the E3 convention... Sad

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 04:38

what im worried about are the players!! imagine 256 racial comments being thrown around lol

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 05:51

actually with that many people and over half of them will probally have mics. i don't think you could understand each other.

Subject: Re: M.A.G Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:57

i imagine you'll be able to speak to the 8 man squad you're in......

Subject: Re: M.A.G Fri 12 Jun 2009, 21:06

ok well that makes sence

Subject: Re: M.A.G Sat 13 Jun 2009, 00:54

Yeah, same in R2 isn't it? You can only speak to the 5-man squad you're in, yeah?

Subject: Re: M.A.G Sat 13 Jun 2009, 01:21

Subject: Re: M.A.G Sat 13 Jun 2009, 01:51

My apologies Lieutenant Chrisi Smile

You tried GTA again? Wink

Subject: Re: M.A.G Sat 13 Jun 2009, 09:16

They were saying in the vid that you can speak with your 8 man squad. Squad leaders can speak with other squad leaders and receive commands from the next leader up, and so on. It really does sound like one heck of a fun time though. Hopefully they allow clans in it.
