First look at MAG

Is it wrong that I’m a big shooter fan, both FPS and TPS, both offline and online… and still even with a stellar revelation such as MAG, I find myself more engrossed in news of games like Little Big Planet, Buzz! Quiz(ps3), etc…

Resistance, Warhawk, HAZE, MGS4, SOCOM: Confrontation, Resistance2, Killzone 2… and then MAG?

Ok so they’re all great games, or will be, I suppose my feelings on the matter are, where is the ‘one’ killer shooter that hooks us all? like Socom did on ps2, which one of the first party shooters, is the next one of those?

Cause’ let’s face it, while those games are excellent games by no argument, and greatly varied in style, and direction, when online battle comes down to it… online battle is just online battle, what truly seperates ‘the killer ap’ from the titles that fall by the wayside, it’s gotta’ be something more than just ‘modes’, and it has to be something more than just ‘maps’, There has to be a serious hook!

for instance, let’s say TommyG7820 kills 10 newly spawned players, and has a huge match based bounty score, of say 100 points, on his head, literally visible on or beside his onscreen name. And DirkDiggler101 with 30points comes along and tries to kill TommyG7820, but fails, now TommyG7820 has 130points, and nooby Mc.Nooberson, newly spawned noobie pops up from behind a vehicle, and shoots TommyG7820 in the head by pure fluke, nooby Mc.Nooberson now has 130 points or 140 depending on if newly spawned actually start with 10 or not. This is a simple forumlae for unlimited deathmatch zones, a place where there is no end to the match, people pop into the server, pop out when they’ve had enough or collected enough bounty, The bounty then goes permanently into their player account, with which they can eventually accumulate and utilize to purchase character mods/upgrades or whatever… Stop me if you heard this one before, or if you already plan something along these lines… It’s an age-old, tried and true forumla, and hopfully you take it into consideration, regular deathmatch, and team deathmatch, and kill the dude with the thing, cause’ he has it atm missions are too basic, and old.
