MAG is Zipper Imperative’s latest military focused shooter. Known for the PS2 era SOCOM games Zipper sought out to create a large scale military structured First Person Shooter. 256 players battle over objectives by calling in air strikes, vehicles and using authentic command chains. This is an online only game which allows players to rank up via team work and cooperation.
Command structure: OIC commands 4 platoons, each platoon leader orders 4 squads and each squad leader is in charge of an 8 player group – making up 128 players on each side.
This game is a ton of fun if people are listening to orders and working together. When that’s the case and objectives are being executed the game is at its best, allowing players to level up to be eligible for squad leader, platoon leader and eventually OIC calling the shots and battle strategy. Sounds awesome right? It is! Some games can turn into epic fails if too many idiots crowd the battlefield but many players are there for a reason and even use headsets!
onPause verdict: Rent It! – MAG impresses with large scale battles and unique gameplay. Rent this title before you buy to make sure this is your cup of tea.
