Probably a good time to mention that more and more f2p games are hovering dangerously close to online gambling models. Stop paying in like that. I don't care about the money at all, I can afford it. But MAG did not suck, well it did at the end but that was a case of having only one server placed in LA which screwed all the EU players, MAG was not a fun game to play with 500 ping....
The thing that made MAG significantly harder in my mind were
1- In its first 2 years if there was a Domination match no one could really sit back and relax; it was a time players were charging in and even if your side could hold the opposing side to the red line if your other sides fell then you were defending your bunker from all directions. Any MAG vet would've probably told you there was nothing more fun or intense when both sides were right at the bunker and there was an epic Benny Hill chase to arm/disarm the bomb at the bunker.
2- In MAG there was only 1 problematic weapon overall, the Tamsen, where as Dust you have several which when combined with other suits and equipment just makes it more problematic.
3- 256 players, that's it and enough said really. That's what really adds to the fun and anarchy of MAG that you didn't have small groups you could corp-block an entire match. And while its true that each faction in mag had notable groups that would meet, Sver True Blood, Valor, CryptKeepers, etc, it was often times close; nothing like loosing in acquisition the last two minutes just because a last minute charge was made.
That's what Dust is sorely missing, the same intensity and involvement and skill development; why should I train harder when I can be a scout with a cloak and be practically invisible and stack my armor and even if a heavy can shoot me I just need to run to their back and get a shot or two in and he's dead too.
Or better yet, I just had 5 straight matches where there were 3 maddys in; railgun installation another maddy and swarms only took out one while the other 2 just hightailed it and ran and then came back which makes people scratch their heads that a railgun installation can't even have the same range because the science of the EvE universe can seem to only allow it for vehicles *shrugs*.
Would be fun to have a MAG2 shooter on the PS4  |
