MAG Discussion Thread

I hated the fact that those bastards with the bipod would kill me when I was using the site and they were purely hip firing.


No to one question that I havent asked.

I have yet bought the bipod for my guns. Does it also help when you are not laying down? As in I assume it reduces reciol when moving as well as standing, even when its not deployed?

I know I snagged a sniper rifle with bipod and layed down to deploy the bipod, but was not sure how it worked on the AR and LMG, etc.
 
I downloaded the update this morn (2 updates like always). It didn't take very long but I didn't get to jump in the game and try it out.

More maps would be great but with the scale that is being used right now I think it would be far off if we get any.

It would be more likely to get new game types. I'm hoping for a game type that has you defending other PMC's map and that PMC has to attack, just to change things up and give everyone a chance to see how easy/hard it is to defend someone else's bunkers/assets.
 
[quote name='SativaSam']I'm thinking of picking this up soon and I am wondering people's thoughts on it? I didn't like MW2 multiplayer for the simple fact of everything is green and brown and I was spoiled by Halo's shooting style.

I do enjoy FPS's, but only to an extent. I know it's online only, but how fun is it compared to modern day shooters?[/QUOTE]


I loved Killzone 2, loved it. Modern Warfare 2 was just oK to me.

Love MAG.

Really liked Halo 1 & 2, didnt play any of the others

So when its not deployed to you get any gains? I guess thats my question.

Wow, Ok so in that case unless you are going to lay down with an AR or LMG its better to have the grip up front huh? Ok that is noted. I am only in my level 24 or so currently.
 
the bipods are pretty sweet if you get into using them. I've only used em when I have to scavenge someone else's gun because my ammo was spent. absolutely no recoil at all. it's for camper's though
 
[quote name='fatmanforlife99']It stabilizes your gun more than the fore grip and works just as good when moving.[/QUOTE]



Oh ok. I was curious if that would be the case? I mean realistically you could grab it and use it like a handle.
 
[quote name='drbutchevil']Yikes, the Vipera isn't even usable now, its got shotgun range pretty much.[/QUOTE]


lol i was trying to tell the other guy that yesterday, but he thought it would be better

idk about the bipod, its amazing when you deploy it. not sure why you would put it on and not deploy it
 
According to the Playstation Blog there's MAG Dynamic themes for each faction now. 3 bucks each.

and in other news, I'm now a qualified OIC. B-]
 
[quote name='fatmanforlife99']You still hold it like nothing is there, but it reduces barrel wonder better than the fore grip.[/QUOTE]

i thought the bipod only comes into play when you deploy it, which means you need to be pretty much camping
 
[quote name='kurrptsenate']what do you mean by "opposing clan battles"?

you mean like suppression, but limit the number of players (lower than 64)[/QUOTE]

What l'm referring to is a way for 1 team (od either 6, 16, or 32) made up of only mwmber or invites of a 1 clan Battle (or Challenge ) an oposing Clan

similar to how you can in warhawk, it would sure open up the game for more clan Vs clan competition
 
^ That would be cool.

Really cool games tonight. Our squad really helped out in a lot of those matches.

That Acquisition match where I drove out the transport to the evac point with like 10 seconds left in the game was epic.
 
I stayed with Valor on my first Vet run through. I am almost at level 60 again so I will most likely go to raven next.

Shotguns are still kinda random even after the patch. Sometimes a 1 hit kill other times 4 hits.

Wow really? I didn't know that. So I guess the foregrip is useless then. Time to respec.

And is it just me, or do the LMG's still seem pretty good? I'm still using S.V.E.R.'s LMG and am doing pretty well.

hipfiring is still pretty lethal, but i noticed on the LMGs and SMG that the range has been notched down tremendously. I used to be able to get pretty far kills with both guns, but now the bullets spread really far at a distance and its extremely difficult getting ranged kills.

i guess i'll go back to sver since i enjoyed playing with those guys and there was a lot of people in the clan. Part of me does want to go to raven to try the guns, maps, etc out, but I probably will be playing bfbc2 soon so it wont matter either way i guess.... idk

screw it, i want to try raven. :p sorry my sverians.... someday..

Ok, I just borrowed this from a friend today so I could try it over the weekend before purchasing. I don't play my PS3 much so my friends list is low (3). If anyone that plays this later at night wants to add me so I don't have to go with comepletely random people send me a friend invite (PSN - WormFOODx). I like to actually coordinate and do tactics if that helps anyone and I'm medium in my FPS skills.
 
[quote name='fatmanforlife99']It stabilizes your gun more than the fore grip and works just as good when moving.[/QUOTE]

This is 100 % false, atleast with assault rifles. Front grip reduces recoil more than an undeployed bipod.
 
[quote name='WormFOODx']Also, do CAGs typically play in one clan, like the_grimace just said?[/QUOTE]


There's one CAG clan for every PMC, so it depends. If you're joining valor drop me a PSN message and I'll add you to the clan
 
[quote name='DrButchEvil[/QUOTE']


I looked at that today, and it specifically says "when deployed" so I didn't really believe the comment.

I'm not respec'n just to try it and see if it makes a difference, so IDK personally. I don't see how that could possibly make sense

[quote name='Ultimate Matt X']Man, I gotta get some games in with you guys soon. Playing with squads with no mics is killing me.[/QUOTE]

If you're on SVER just send me a friend request (that goes for anyone). I want to get a more consistent group going on here.

I really liked our teamwork in our last games.
 
[quote name='fatmanforlife99']Shotgun is A LOT better after the patch, it is very good. The smg got fucked over after the patch big time.[/QUOTE]

yea, i noticed this. I was rocking it with the smg and then,..... wtf. it sucks now
 
The shotgun and the motion sensor, go perfect with each other. 10 straight games with at least 30 shotgun kills, 4 or 5 of them 40 plus. They really made it better.

SVER

I'm thinking about checking this out only have some questions. How is the lag with this game? with upto 256 players does the game lag? Also does it have respawning or is it once you are dead you are dead till the new game?

yea, i never tried the motion sensor till you mentioned it the other day and holy fuck, its great. I'll have to try the shotgun again as I hated it before the patch but hadn't tried it after the patch yet.
 
you're talking about the tracker that weighs 800 right?

i have mixed emotions about it. The weight of 800 sucks. If the other person uses stealth, its not nearly as effective either
 
Well not many people use it to begin with(sensor jammer). The positives outweigh the negatives (none really) and using it with the shotty or upgraded knives package and you can do some real damage.

Lag is non existent and you can be healed and revived or bleed out and respawn 20 or less seconds later.
 
the negatives is weight. 800 is almost the full weight of a launcher, or makes the difference from 200 armor up to the 1000. It seems better with close range weapons if you like to camp corners and what not. You dont necessarily have to use sensor jammer as buying the skill stealth makes you invisible unless you sprint
 
so im in valor. someone send me the clan invite. i found it weird that your avatar doesn't change with each pmc. so im the only dark skinned asian looking guy in the white bald headed american majoirty oriented valor. there might been others but i havent noticed many.
 
Just posted one of my best games, I have had a few with more kills but I was a more complete solider in this run.

84 kills 13 deaths 17 asst 24 streak. Blew up 5 tanks, repaired a couple buildings...

Shit was insane....
