AS long as you are in a squad, everyone else is just the background that makes the battle feel epic, who cares how many of your allies are dying as long as they arent in your squad!     lol thats the spirit.

I am pretty sure MAG is PS3 exclusive though?

And to be honest from the trailer the graphics don't look all that great, only looked about as good as 2142-COD4 level.

Keep in mind its still a WIP, and yes I think it unfortunately is PS3 exclusive.

Its really easy to shoot Gwynnie a message over ingame chat saying 'we'll hold the palace ruins, you guys press on for city house'

I caught that hidden message there.  Prat!

But yeah, SL communication is essential as Squad Communication.  With any more than 3 squads, it's better to get a commander, but other than that, as long as the SL's are competent, communication should be easy.

Learned that from BF2142. Long as you're in a squad, its easy to be completely oblivious to what everyone else does.

I think FS and BF2 and 2142 come into their own when squadleaders communicate with one another.
Its easier in Fs because bravo squadleader is likely to be someone you know- Gwynzer for example.

It works even better on mos entha to prevent merry-go-round flag capping.

Yeah, the teamplay may or may not be good, but it only takes a small group that teamplay to make a game more fun.

Minus a forcepoint for your filthy lies, woman.

Plus a forcepoint for your humorus comment!

The way they were going on about it, it does look like teamwork is involved.  working with teammates increases personal score, there are "teamwork" points and they mentioned "Trophies" awarded for reaching certain teamplay requirements.

I wonder what the 6 is for.
250 was just too round... if i snip off a few lines of code and remove the jetpacks, we can fit another SIX people in! W00T!

Nah, that's just crazy talk.
We all know its the Government!

Modding is dead - most games barely last 1 year now, whereas a mod tends to take a lot longer to be fairly polished.
Then you probably got a team together and worked your arse off for like 2 years, just to see 10 people playing on a good night. This cannot be very rewarding.
Whats the motivation of working on a mod if the maingame is basically dead upon mod-release? Apart from working up a portfolio for getting into the gaming industry, obviously.

P.S.
This shooter looks very generic, hope it can actually hold up to its only selling point, the amount of players in a lag-free battle

i've watched the video. to me this is average, boring, not good FPS, but they can play 256 players. thats the only good thing about it. once they have technology they need to find some cool game idea (with fun weapons) for it.

BF2143 with 24 players makes me lol
