MAG BETA Invading North America & Europe

PlayStation LifeStyle writes: "Shijima, the Franchise Producer for MAG, previously stated that MAG's beta would only be available to Europeans. But thanks to some clarification from an SCEA representative, non-European PS3 owners have reason to be relieved."

Me too. I really want to participate in the Beta. Just to get use to how the battles flow and the UI which looks like a cluster f*@$ but one you get used to it, it should be fine.

Pay your $19.99 Qore annual and you probably will get a beta key.

1.3 - you know what they should do
they should let you keep experience from the beta so that when the game launches it will be able to truly pick a good oic

2 - MAG!
I absolutely can not WAIT until I can play MAG again! I got a chance with it at E3 for a bit and I was very impressed. I was actually not expecting the graphics to look good at all, and they were not bad for 256 players.

Looks like the fathers of SOCOM have another great hit on their hands.

2.3 - Totally agree this game looks awesome for a 256 online multiplayer..
I mean anyone who says these shots look bad especially for the size & scale of the map & 256 players online are morons & a HUGE FANBOY in denial.

To me that is very impressive for such a large number of players online & for how huge the maps are.

Definately pumped for this game & cant wait to play it. Its gonna be pure awsomeness & full of win.

CoD was good for something if you don't like the competitive multi. Zombies on the PC CoD4 and Nazi Zombies in WaW. I'm still playing Shi No Numa after an all night zombie slaughter rampage.

It seems like you are going to be laughing at a lot of people...

Hardcore S&D definitely requires skill and to think otherwise is just foolish.

I have always found it amusing that the majority of people who are screaming "N00b" are the people who are getting killed by a "N00b weapon". Just to clarify, the people who are dying are screaming "N00b".

Wow, your need to justify a MAG purchase requires you to bash a highly successful franchise with millions of players around the world. I totally didn't expect anyone to say what you did. /sarcasm.

Stop being a fanboy. If MAG is great, it's not going to detract from the greatness of other games.

going to need a demo or this beta to really sell me on this game. Don't get me wrong, it sounds cool and all, but I just wonder how it's really going to play.

WTF is with those idiots giving a disagree to these posters above me for saying they want to be in beta....

QUOTE " i was in the uncharted 2 beta hope to get in this one "..... you disagree to him being in the uncharted 2 beta? or do you disagree to him hoping to get into the MAG beta

Please people, lets get some consistency with this voting thing on N4G

Everyone getting hyped for this is going to be SOOOO disappointed. Zipper is a bad developer. They ruined Socom 3 worse than Slant Six messed up the new one. Plus they had no interaction with the community.

lol @ saying Zipper is a bad company

1. Even though SOCOM 3 wasn't good compared to 2, it was still a solid game.
2. No commmunity interation? They had polls and a message board in the game. Also gave us 4 map packs including the most requested maps (frostfire & fish hook)
3. People to this day still play SOCOM 2 & 3 (in the thousands)

Socom 2 was amazing no doubt, but Zipper still had 0 interaction with the community.

The forums and polls on Socom 3 were a joke. You and I both know this.

Zipper will mess this game up. The previews from E3 are already negative. Expect to see more and more of that.

The reviews from E3 are negative? Point me to these negative reviews then shall you. Cause I have seen nothing but positive stuff about this game so far. Granted several have mentioned a few lil problems, but that was to be expected at that point in development. All stuff that will surely be ironed out by time the game comes out. Even people are talking about how minimal or non-existent the lag is (after they went in figuring there would be a huge lag problem). Zipper is a bad developer? Wow, you, sir, fail.

12 - I think I'll skip this one...
not because I think it'll be bad. I actually think it'll be interesting, but I'm getting to the point where I'm not sure if i want to get into anymore betas.

I participated in the mgo, uncharted 2, and resistance 2 online betas and I really felt like it spoiled the surprise when the game came out

Being an EU beta tester I can't wait for MAG!

Shijima did not say that the EU would be the only beta test for MAG so unsure why anyone would need clarification at all. He was trying to stop the MAG board on the EU playstation forums going out of control with non-EU beta testers asking for the beta ;)
