Review: MAG Review
Australian Release: Out Now
The game utilizes a new server architecture to support online battles with up to 256 players, with users divided into 8-player squads, with 4 squads forming a platoon, and 4 platoons forming a company. Each squad is led by a player who has advanced through the game's ranking system. Character statistics and development also increase with frequent gameplay. The players most advanced in rank are able to either direct the battle or participate directly in combat.

Basic battles take place within ongoing, faction-based campaigns to encourage the player to actively play. The game's E3 unveiling trailer featured large landscapes, tactics such as air strikes and parachuting, and a variety of vehicles, from tanks and APCs to airplanes.

Players are able to customize the face, voice, and armor of their characters, as well as what weapons and kit they carry into battle. The game is a first-person shooter.

yeah, 256 different connections, its not gonna lag at all.....
If they didn't have a way for this not to lag they wouldn't be developing it.
I'd say this game might be bad for Nat 3 PS3's unless all players are from same country. lol.

I know It will be lag each second unless they have fantastic servers..
-Dribbles-



well i guess that's what they will have.
They wouldn't make it 256 players online if it was going to lag every second, obviously they would have good servers.
Plus its Sony who are pretty much making this game, Sony usually have good servers..
I can see it now...
