Because a lot of us MAG veterans were in the closed-beta phase of Dust 514, and our contributions helped shape the game into what it is today GÇö for better or for worse, depending on one's perspective.
Being a MAG veteran is special in the FPS community, IMO. Why? Because when it comes to FPS console games, we're the only ones to have truly experienced massive battles.
MAG Domination, anyone? 256 players, huge maps, strategies required to win. Oh, and don't forget proximity chat. God, that was great, prox chat! |

If I remember correctly it was the mag vets in closed beta that everyone would point and laugh at. When i hear 'MAG' i think of the biggest moron in this game: Contrabanjoe. MAG Vet? They are as irrelevant as the garbage game was. 
Son, you need counseling. Apparently you're still suffering, mentally, from the many, many times that SVER wiped the floor with your team. Let me guess ... you were Valor, right?
On a bit more serious note, did you play MAG?
Because if you did, you'd know that, yes, it had its issues GÇö freezes, primarily, plus getting stuck in turrets/bunkers on occasion GÇö but it was also groundbreaking for what it accomplished. Heck, the reason you haven't seen what MAG did, player-base wise, is because the software that made it possible for 256-player matches is unique and not up for grabs, even with Zipper being long gone. |

If I remember correctly it was the mag vets in closed beta that everyone would point and laugh at. When i hear 'MAG' i think of the biggest moron in this game: Contrabanjoe. MAG Vet? They are as irrelevant as the garbage game was. If it wasn't for MAG, I wouldn't be interested teaming up with random squads and play as a team. As you can see, this game is becoming COD garbage because of other players not going into the objectives and just snipe from the farthest region of the map and the highest mountain of God knows where. In MAG, there is such thing called team kill, if you camp like a pus sy, my bullet will be aimed on your head. MAG was a huge failure of a game lol You really think anyone here wants the so called 'knowledge' of players from a game that tanked extremely hard and extremely fast? I sure as hell dont. DONT ruin this game and make it any thing like that POS game CCP, unless you want dust to fail as horribly as that game did.
Yet you yourself said you've never played MAG. And here you are passing judgment on the game and the folks who invested a lot of time into it.
It'd be like me saying EVE is pure crap, even though I've never played the game and, thus, can have no legitimate opinion regarding it.
If you're going to criticize something, at least have the gonads to have invested time into it. Hell, there are plenty of bitter MAG players out there GÇö but at least they played MAG and, thus, have the right to be bitter for whatever reason. |
