Spotlighting the New IPs of 2010 – MAG

MMOMFG: Massive Action Game, as it was first known during Sony's E3 2008 press conference, is a first person shooter that will feature a staggering 256 players (with users divided into 8-player squads, 4 squads forming a platoon, and 4 platoons forming a company) on one map. Though this a big task for any game, I find it an especially hard undertaking to pull off on a console. I've played a few bastardized shooters on both the 360 and PS3 to know that it's not an easy task to do.

Split up into three factions, players will have to choose which faction to join before engaging in the Shadow War. Once you do, you're set for life (though changing your alligence might be possible) so make sure you and your friends are in agreement. Every fight that occurs (except the 32 vs. 32 suppression game mode) will effect your faction standings with the "Domination" of 128 vs. 128 being the highlight of the title.
