mag is great i play it everyday if i could.. this site i guess doesnt consider it an mmo even tho it has rpg elements and 300 ppl on a map.. if you seek mmo news on it seek massively out they cover it alot (go to search mag = all the info you need)
Unlike the "other top mmo website with the m in the name" (whichever one of dozens that could be) this website allows external links.
As for the original post. I guess in order to discuss MAG you have to know what MAG is.
the fact that they couldnt make MAG for pc is pretty terribly disappointing
If they did, they'd probably have to either keep PC gamers separate from the console gamers or put some kind of artificial penalty/restriction on the PC side. In an FPS, PC gamers would completely destroy console gamers solely because of the superiority of mouse and keyboard over analog controls.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

All consoles need to do is come up with a control like this and that is no longer a problem.

i would consider MAG a MMOFPS
but the thing is why MAG isnt much talked about is because the game gets boring a bit fast
MAG is a game that is only fun when you play once in a while out of the boredom, otherwise, you will puke yourself to death playing it everyday
because there is no goal in the game, you are only told to attack and defend, and there is a contract, but the contract doesnt matter
level doesn't matter, i could survive in Domination with my lv 8 SVER character and still kill a lot of the lv 60s
the game has no challange at all, it's just a massive killing field, so that is why MAG is slowly dieing, unless the update the maps
and gameplay to much more, because honestly, i dont even feel like opening my MAG case anymore, all you do is Dom, Sabotage and Acquisition, that's pretty much it
So What Now?
I'm not even sure if the MMOFPS genre is successful enough for them to even try. The only notable games are WWIIOL (which is on its very last leg) and Planetside (not sure if it's as active as it was a few years ago).
