Each group of 8 has a specific objective that works towards defeating all 128 people on the enemy team. Completing the objective nets your group bonus points. If your team defeats the enemy (killing or capturing all 128 people) you also net bonus points.

Points are awarded individually for kills and assists.

Here is a situation and how it would play out.

Team 1 is in a fortress surrounded by a great wall.

Some groups in Team 1 are up on the wall as Snipers, other groups in Team 1 set up traps outside the fortress. The snipers job is to protect the trap setters by killing off groups from Team 2 whose job is to elimate the trap setters . The Team 1 fortress has a door to it. There is 2 groups of parachuters in Team 2, who will try to land inside the Fortress. 1 group is riflemen whose job is to protect the explosives experts who are trying to advnce to the door to blow it up, so the Fortress can be breached by another group in Team 2. Thats how I kind of picture it being set up. Of course there will be different teams too, who do different things, that is just a taste of it. If 1 team is eliminated it puts a group of people at a huge disadvantage. For example if the doors can not be blown up, Team 2 would have to fire from the outside, as Team 1 got the advantage of a wall and height.

yes

mmos can have 100s of people in one room, the more spaced out people are the easier it is for the server to handle, hich is probably one of the reasons why there split into groups.

CptGreedle · 07-16-2008, 09:08 PM

Well I figure this means it will use powerful servers but also different size groups (UP TO 256), and that, like other games that use large maps, the system will not render or process everything except within a range or segment to save on processing power for the server and the console.
I could be wrong, games have come so far, it is possible they can render the entire thing all at the same time. But this leads me to wonder if there will be lag when there is a HUGE amount of action.

dpomp · 07-16-2008, 09:18 PM

i'm trying to decide if this game is going to be as cool as people think.

i hope they have microphone muting for sure

i thought 18 players at 1 time was bad

they'll probably make it sqaud heaset, and the leader of each sqaud can go teamwide. So its you meambers of your sqaud and the 16 team leaders

dpomp · 07-16-2008, 09:22 PM

i hope so cause people can be so annoying online. i don't want to listen to your music! please leave your music on but turn off your mic!

Slackr89 · 07-16-2008, 09:37 PM

thats what i was worried about...the mics. they'll prob have it set up so the 8 in the squad can talk amongst themselves and to squad leader, squad leaders can talk to there platoon leaders and platoon leaders can mic the officer in charge. this way the max amount of people you'll be able to hear/talk to would be 8

dpomp · 07-16-2008, 10:00 PM

damn i just watched the trailer for the first time! this is an xbox killer. there is no response MS will ever have for this game.

Sony considering subscription fees for MAG, according to PSU survey:

http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/09/29/...ng-to-psu-sur/

Well if they do plan on a subscription service, they've just lost themselves a customer.

Shin-Ra · 09-29-2008, 09:09 PM

We barely know what the game's going to be yet.

AranhaHunter · 09-29-2008, 09:12 PM

It's a MMO, so subscriptions can be expected....however subscriptions MMO games have never worked on consoles like they have on PCs, they need to think how they're gonna do this with all these MMOs that are coming out, no fees or optional fees are the way to go, you can make your money back on DLC and advertisements. High storage servers are way cheaper than they ever were, if you have to charge, charge a flat monthly fee for ALL MMOs.
