awesome can't wait to try this out, just started playing again on SVER side, anyone know good weapon? i just came out of Raven there guns are beast

T9X695425d ago

I haven't played MAG in months, but I always used the AK 74 (I think it was) it was the 2nd to last Assault Rifle you unlock. My friend told me since the latest patch though, SVER weapons have turned into shit.

Nitrowolf25425d ago

they have
i don't understand why they just don't make the weapons the same. when i jumped into sver the weapon felt cheap, idk it looked like plastic gun wen i shot and tried to kill someone.

WhittO5425d ago

Never played MAG, but wow the list of games for Move is growing quickly! Its the reason I'm buying it, because I know they will not just release some casual sports games and forget it.

Bobbykotickrulesz5425d ago (Edited 5425d ago )

MAG is great! I think I have... 3.5k kills? And a 4.25 K/D.

I love the assualt rifles.

lol @ the disagree.
NO YOU DO NOT HAVE A 4.25 K/D SPREAD. NO NO NO OH GOD NO

TheTeam065425d ago

Dude, SVER is beast. They were always the smallest in numbers, but somehow always the strongest (even in the Beta). I've always been SVER.

Biggest5425d ago

SVER all day. Their weapons should be "weaker" in comparison to the others. If you look at their real life counterparts you'll find that they have more power due to the flight pattern of the rounds. But they suffer from accuracy at range, which makes them "weaker" to many.

Christopher5425d ago

I agree SVER side is a beast, but at release and for a few months after they were the most populated by almost twice the other factions.

WildArmed5425d ago

Really? SVER is the biggest faction as of now..
followed by Valor..
Being Raven is definitely not easy, but what can I say, I just love Raven too much.

Atm, I'm doing a veteran round.. in SVER atm.. i am usually playing w/ SMG.. but idk, i might put off the game for abit, i wanna try the new skill system.

madjedi5424d ago (Edited 5424d ago )

Lord claiming sver weapons are less accurate, bfs several months ago killed 3 sver guys with one of their ars with only a scope when sver was just that "damn good at teamwork" bullshit was rampant.

So unless your trying to snipe with a sver ar, shut up with the sver weapons are less accurate, just like sver maps for aquisition and domination maps couldn't possibly be broken for attackers at launch.
-_-

I'll have to try this with move support though.

pixelsword5424d ago

Sver's boards do most of the work for them.

raztad5425d ago

I'm on SVER starting over as a Veteran. I'm so glad MAG will be Move compatible. I wasnt expecting this.

Regarding the weapons I had a little experience with the unmodified AK74 and it kicked serious ass. Very stable and accurate. After the patch it turned into something more "realistic"

madjedi5424d ago (Edited 5424d ago )

I haven't played mag in months they did they initial nerf to the mgs to stop them from making the ar's useless, played a few rounds last week and the valor mg is horrible.

It's like the amped up both kick and recoil again while lowering it's damage, did they screw with the weapons a second time?

theonlylolking5425d ago (Edited 5425d ago )

Now add keyboard and mouse support! Some PC gamers and console gamers want keyboard and mouse.

WildArmed5425d ago

Yeah, I'm surprised that isn't in yet in most FPS games..
Only game I can remember off the top of my head was UT3...
But still I couldn't really find a good place to put my kb/mouse so I just played w/ the controller.

madjedi5424d ago (Edited 5424d ago )

Its a very simple reason, how fast can you change your sights with a mouse verses using the analog stick, thats why most console games don't use k/m for competitive shooters.

The controllers guys are severely handicapped vs the mouse user in aiming/turning speed.

LeonSKennedy4Life5425d ago

Epic win! Gonna start playing again!

danmachine5425d ago

looks like i'm buying the move starter pack and MAG in september.

PlayStation Move Controller Used to Perform Surgery on a Pig That Was 5,780 Miles Away

A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.

jznrpg252d ago

There is at least a few good jokes that could come from that title

Cacabunga251d ago

Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever

just_looken251d ago

Right the ps move was awesome i have the gun thing from killzone still.

Relientk77252d ago

That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.

Lexreborn2252d ago

Guess that submarine should’ve used move controllers instead of logitech

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars - PlayStation Move's Best Kept Secret

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.

Why the PlayStation Move Failed

Sony's PlayStation Move may not have been able to contend with Nintendo's Wii, but it paved the way for PlayStation VR's success story.

SullysCigar1381d ago

I use them most days and have for years 🤷🏻‍♂️

They're definitely way past a needed update, but I've got a tonne of fun out of them, so they haven't failed me.

bouzebbal1381d ago

The best motion control platform it's so intuitive.. Died due to lack of support from Sony.. It had some amazing games

thorstein1381d ago

They are used constantly for PSVR games. So, no they haven't failed. Neither has PSVR (or VR in general.)

Bigman4k1381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

The article was talking about why it ps move failed before psvr came along

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1381d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1381d ago

I feel that's a bit harsh. To this day, playing Killzone 3's campaign with PS Move/Sharpshooter gun combo is the most fun/immersive experience I've ever had with an FPS.

I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be, but it didn't "suck".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1381d ago

It most definitely sucked. You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible. The entire motion control fad was a waste of resources and time. Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it...

Minute Man 7211381d ago

@SPEAK

The Move was better that the Wii mote. If the Wii was anywhere accurate as the Move was you could say the Wii was better. Sure it sold boatloads but was it really played consistently??

yeahokwhatever1381d ago

I played it in 3D with the move gun on a 100 inch projector and it BLEW MY MIND. I was exhausted, but i finished the campaign standing there.

SullysCigar1381d ago

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming"

Just no. Games release most weeks (for years now) that support Move controllers. Some ONLY use Move controllers.

Look, I get you're not a fan, but if you're going to rant, at least inform yourself in advance.

LordoftheCritics1381d ago

I would say both Move and Kinect weren't supported properly.

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1381d ago

Kinect sucked too. I would say Kinect may have been cool had it worked as intended but it was ahead of it's time. Both Kinect and Move are gimmicks nothing more. I honestly don't see why Sony still implements "motion controls" recent controllers. Who really uses that crap? And to play what?

Profchaos1381d ago

I so t think Sony abandoned the move it's technically repurposed and still supported on the ps5 just for VR

RedDevils1381d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH
Again if it was supported right.

Where even a fast click of my fingers could get an immediate in game response.

It feels trash because we have been shown or lived with bad versions of gesture based tech. Think Minority Report fast. That could be something.

''You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible.''

No one is acting like it was special, I said it could be amazing.

''I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be''

Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game and then we can discuss profits.

1381d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1381d ago

I don't deal in "what if". It wasn't supported right and even if it was it was still a gimmick.

thorstein1381d ago

"Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game"

You just described every AAA PSVR game. And even the indies have incredible integration. No Man's Sky VR is insanely good.

Silly gameAr1381d ago

And, you can act like it was horrible, but I had a blast with my Move. I had the whole collection of House of the Dead, Dead Space Extraction, and RE Darkside Cronicles, The Fight, and Socom 4, and I would play the hell out of those games I even beat a playthrough of the Resistance 3 campaign with the Move. Getting drunk and playing with friends was a freaking blast.

You can pretend that you had a move and played it all you want SPeak the Truth, but it was accurate, and usually on point. I hate when people act like they've played something just to trash it, when they really just have a vendetta, and think the Move is easy prey for your hate.

Minute Man 7211381d ago

Wait you can play Dead Space with the Move?? I need it

Orchard1381d ago

“You can pretend that you had a move”

I love this crazy idea that if someone has something bad to say about hardware/software - they must be lying about owning it and clearly do not own it!

Because all hardware and software has a 100% approval rating from all purchasers…

P_Bomb1381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

Shoot I forgot about Dead Space Extraction and Umbrella Chronicles. Had those too. Still do (digital).

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1381d ago

I have a vendetta against Move? Lmao that's the most ridiculous comment I've read today. I didn't buy it because like I said motion controls are gimmicks. I had a Wii and it was decent enough but a gimmick although successful. I had a Kinect and it too was trash. Don't act as if you know what I have and haven't owned. Move was nothing more than a Wiimote ripoff

yeahokwhatever1381d ago

SO MANY really great experiences for the Move. The Fight was excellent!

Silly gameAr1381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

@Minute Man

There was a game called Dead Space Extraction that you could play the Move with.

@Orchard. Please don't reply to me, because every time I say something to you, I magically end up restricted. So, just ignore me like I ignore you, so there will be no hurt feelings, please.

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it..."

That is demostrably false.... Most VR games have motion controls and the PSVR uses the Move controllers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

VR games have a controller most of the time not some magic wand. And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect. I'm not a fan of VR either. A controller and a couch is all I need for my gaming needs.

Vanfernal1381d ago

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH

"And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect."

PSVR LITERALLY uses the Move controllers. Now it's just obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying Move failed and nobody uses it anymore when it's an integral part of PSVR and is still being used in 2021.

ScootaKuH1381d ago

It didn't suck. It worked but the games just weren't there, that's why it failed.

Father__Merrin1381d ago

The move was excellent it was 1 to 1 precise time crisis was a joy to play aswell as sports champions it didn't hit mainstream as it was an addon unlike Nintendo wiimote

Lack of games that proved the concept that 3rd parties could then copy en masse?

Silly Mammo1380d ago

I wish that someone would have made a proper boxing game. I still have a blast with the Sports Champions boxing, but to have a boxing game that was more in-depth would have been awesome.

Dario_DC1380d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1381d ago

Because it was a uninspired ripoff of the Wii controller without the Nintendo library to back it and didn't try to put any real effort into development such as getting their top developers to make games for it and instead gave tech demos disguised as games to their least talented developers so the best can focus on single player only games.

Ryushaa1381d ago

Except the Move was an idea roughly implemented in the PS2. Yes, I'm serious.
Just search on youtube: PlayStation 2 - Motion Controller (2004)

Nonetheless, just like the whole Wii, it was more of a gimmick than a proper input evolution in games.

jukins1381d ago

Exactly. Its funny time and time again sony is the first innovate. Often at its own peril. Like your example the move started on ps2 taken advantage of by nintendo. Sony buys gakai for game streaming only for other companies to overtake them.

Profchaos1381d ago

Are you talking about the gametrak on os2 which used strings to track your hand position I used to have this and a gold game it was awesome but the game itself sucked if it had integration with tiger woods or something it would be way better the tracking was excellent even back then as it wasn't using guesswork.
However the game was very forgiving and no way to turn it harder and no licensed players or courses hurt it.

99% of the Wii's games were "shovelware", in fact, I think thats what started that phrase..

EvertonFC1381d ago

Socom, killzone, resistance and tiger wood 14 were great with the move but agree lacked more games.

yeahokwhatever1381d ago

There were plenty of games and I'm glad that not every game became a Move game.
