@shadowcast: You're right, I don't have a problem when a fps isn't really inovative. How many do you really know? The last fps, which wasn't really one that had something cool and unique was portal. Beside of that they are all pretty generic. If their product is polished and fun I really don't mind from a gamer perspective.
You know all too often "Innovation" leads to "gimmicks" - I don't want kill streaks, I don't want gravity guns, I don't want to be able to change into an animal, I don't want to fly, I don't want surprise aliens in my war shooter, I don't want some kind of experimental super gun, I don't want enemies with jet packs.
I want a realistic, solid, balanced, glitch free, war shooter.
So far Bad Company 2 has set the bar higher than anything else I've played. (MAG is up there too but BC2 is my current addiction) Give me something similar, but even better and i'll be happy.

If you want to stand out, give the game a valve treatment. Meaning give players server tools and also keep matchmaking, but give players means to create theyr own servers
That's some real honesty right there! I like it, and we don't need to ask for more. Better some old stuff done really well, than some new stuff done really bad.
I think companys need to innovate in the right way. What dice has done with bc2 and the destructible enviroments is proper innovation for a modern war game. Adding a perk like comando in mw2 is a giant step backwards. Let's not forget comando pro. You can jump off 3 story buildings and not die. How super realistic.

I don't see how that is funny?
Realistic? - check.
Solid? - Check
Balanced - Check (very well balanced between 3 differing factions and many weapons, good job Zipper!)
Glitch free - check.
Nope, I don't see how that can be funny....
Are you just another Xboxer trying to badmouth MAG because your console can't handle it, and your community isn't mature enough for it?
Or are you just another CoD fanboy hating on it because it's not CoD?

@Waterman X - no not at all, but it's not a war shooter it's a sci-fi shooter. If you went and put the weapons from Half Life 2 (I do hate the alien weapons in that game) into a war shooter to try to be "innovative" it would be terrible.
It's like if they put the gravity gun into the Counter Strike mod, that would be terrible.

I think Bad Company 2 will be tough to beat for me for quite some time, first shooter I've actually enjoyed in quite some time.
@Tomasz jaro
the Fu$@ you say? Frame rate issues??? I've played mag quite a bit. Never had the slightest frame rate issue. If it's unplayable that's weird I just played last night. What's your psn.......or should I say gamertag. Your a liar and a troll:) GTFO:)

Videodrone said it.
Tomasz, I think your PS3 might be broken. Check the front, does it have a "PS" sign on it, or a big green "X" and likely a red "O".
MAG has no frame rate issues and no glitches. I'm saying that from someone who is Veteran 1 (prestiged, for those of you that only speak CoD) and rank 30 odd on top of that.
It's not perfect, don't get me wrong, but it's not far off.
What are these glitches you speak of? Because they recently patched the few minor, completely non-gamebreaking gltiches, such as repairing gates through walls and the over accurate LMG's. But still those are hardly the whole knifing someone from 10 feet away and running around at lightning speed with a care package in your hand, or perhaps the whole unlimited care packages, One man Army glitch, or maybe the Javelin suicide glitch....
As i say there are some far more played and sold games than MAG with far more gamebreaking glitches.
Maybe i'm just lucky and in nearly 100 hours of MAG I've not come across one of these glitches you speak of, or this framerate issue you're talking about.

I dunno about you guys but MAG has always run smooth on my PS3 no matter what game mode I was playing. As far as any glitching goes I've only experienced it glitch once out of the whole time I've had it and I've never experienced the framerate go to shit during gameplay. It really is amazing how good that game plays with so many people playing.
Sure the graphics aren't solid as other FPS' but that's what you sacrifice for
256 players. MAG is a great team experience and from all the war shooters I've tried it actually feels more authentic to war gameplay due to it's cooperative nature than any other game out there.
If you like Bad Company 2 or just most army war games (and you have a PS3) there's no reason you shouldn't be playing MAG. All this from someone who hates army shooters but I fucking love MAG.

That's actually a really refreshing attitude. Unless he's just covering because the game isn't going to be very good. But not everything has to be revolutionary to be awesome.
I appreciate the guy's honesty. And it's true, it's a shooter. You don't need to add new gameplay controls just for the sake of adding them. Core controls for shooters have been established for years because they work.
Concentrate on the experience and story. His attitude gives me even more optimism on this game coming out good.

I don't mind thoughful, play tested innovation -- nobody here would.
One direction I'd like to see pursued is a FPS thet stresses different story type rather the typical 'band of brother' or 'buddy' storyline, but also avoids the 'nemisis' or 'I hate these dudes' cliche. There has got to be somesort of subtle middle ground that somehow makes a meaningful narrative arise out of this gameplay we're been kicking around for years.
