Wish I could say I contributed to those numbers. Every time I tried to log into the beta with my Destructoid code (thanks, Nick!) my PS3 froze. I even deleted and reinstalled the file to no avail.
Sad face.

Basically.
I'd put this as a contender for one of the worst actually. Who the hell thought that gun in the bottom was a good idea? It almost looks Photoshopped in at the very, very, last second.

Nearly 18 million kills were made and an excess of 700,000 million shots were fired.
wtf, noobs. Lrn 2 headshot, OK?

@ Jim: How exactly did Killzone 2 fall apart? Not attacking you, just wondering, considering I haven't played it since about a month after it came out. I got that trophy for being in the Top 3 %, thought I'd never do better, and just got bored.
So what's happened to it? I guess it didn't hold up to well then?

It actually became more powerful then you could possibly imagine. I played it once on release day, and then again about a week ago. It has gone from a normal shooter to absolute insanity; people just jumping around, teamkilling, getting all "Lord of the Flies" up in the game.
It's actually kinda totally awesome, in a sick sad way. Unless you actually wanted to play Killzone, in which case...well, you are SOL.

see MAG beta thread in Dtoid forums for impressions, this is NOT a typical console FPS and should not be judged as such
That said, I got to level 54 or so.. wish I had time to get to 60, would've been cool to be one of just 200 players to do so D: as is, the stats are fun to know

Too bad the game has no real explosions of any aircraft flight/fighting what so ever.. This is a bland disappointment of a game. No Bloom what so ever...................................... If running forward and taking turns respawning just to repair a gate is exciting to you then this is the game for you.
EDS: It's a chaotic mess now. Unmoderated, full of team-killing, and completely given over to people who aren't playing the game right.
I'm one of those 3500 who made it to platoon leader!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED the MAG beta, cannot wait for the full game, stuck with MW2 now. *sadface*
To me it felt VERY counter strike, but on a massive scale, I couldn't get enough.

You'll be happy to know of my two reasons (one of them being Heavy Rain) my other reason to get a PS3 is to play MAG with the infamous Sexualchocolate. :P

I'm with StMcDuck the game log in stuff was crazy! I did get in an played for maybe 3-4 hours and the deleted the beta as the game did not interest me in the slightest.
... the only reason that Sabotage was the top played map was because they didn't have Acquistion open and the 256 player Domination mode had some fairly long queue waits. Personally, Acquisition is my favorite mode!!
Awesome boxart!... though mostly cause I play Raven and that's a Raven guy on the top! :)
MAG will definitely be my Warhawk replacement and I expect to be playing most nights! (and getting back up to OIC level!)

@ Xzyliac - my friend, I am honoured.
I'm looking forward to playing some MAG with you, my PSN id's in my profile. It's looking to be a superb game. I actually miss the beta, and, it's sad I know, but I still have it installed and check it occasionally. (servers still turned off) Heavy Rain is going to be sweeeeeeeet too.
See you in the Shadow War.
@Elsa, you're a MAG player, will you be joining Xzyliac and I? Who do you fight for?
Must say I'm a SVER man myself.

From the mouth of an unabashed Sony fanboy, this game was...terribly disappointing. Looks and feels like a PC shooter from about 10 years ago. A not very good PC shooter from 10 years ago. It's ok though, I've dropped so much cash in the past 3 months on games that I'm actually glad it sucks.
I don't understand the MAG hate myself. It's a solid shooter on a massive scale with a well executed command system.
Sure it's not the prettiest of shooters, but I think we're past talk of grafiks grafiks grafiks, to me gameplay>graphics.
Sure it's got the often called "cluttered" HUD but the shot detection lines are a major part of the gameplay.
I found it so mixed, I mean you can hide and snipe, you can rush with an MG, sneak with a silenced Assault rifle, you can command from the sidelines, or from the frontlines, there are moments of quiet, awaiting enemy forces, there are moments of madness and hectic, stressful panic, there is teamwork, or one-man-army badassness, there's vehicles which are not only a big gun but a tactical insertion point, it's got a persistant war between the three awesomely individual factions, an RPG style progression system, you can end up defending a position waiting for the rest of your team to get there, you can end up on a healing cycle with a badly positioned sniper, you can use gas to force enemies to go a certain direction, you can ignore your main orders and set the frago you think is best overall (bunkers FTW), etc etc etc.
Sure sometimes you get a dick squad leader, but you can vote him out easy enough, sometimes you get overrun by your enemies, but that's war, you sometimes get enemies sneaking round you to the main objective, again, that's war people. Man up.
I fucking LOVED it.
My favourite round involved 5 players, including myself the team leader, defending one spot, while our AA gun kept getting taken out, every time it got taken out, I'd set the AA as a frago, the 5 of us would head over to it (a way away) the 4 guys would take it back while i headed to the Vehicle depot to get an APC to take us back to the main objective.
We did that perhaps 4 times, but each time was like a mini mission within our main objective of protecting the main frago. it was an amazing bit of team play, with snipers covering the engineers ass while he fixed the AA and assault troops healing and defending the whole while, and me collecting the APC for the trip back to the main frago.
I mean that shit just doesn't happen in MW2, or many other shooters. But I suppose all some people want is the prettiest shineyest shooter they can get their hands on.
Shame.
