MAG: Move Tweak Guide Video

After 2 weeks of fiddling with MAG 2.0 Move controls, I discovered a neat way of adjusting the controller's sensitivity that's not possible in the game menu.

In this video I'll introduce you to how MAG MOVE controls work and how you can tune your experience for the best in-game results. Personal choice is always an option, but this advice will hopefully allow you to find the control scheme settings that work for you.

Is MAG fun? I really want to know cus I might buy it.

Thumbs up = yes
Thumbs down = no

Plz no fanboyism. If you dont have a PS3, dont vote.

Thanks

havnt got move so havnt tried it with move but MAG is special if you invest the time to level up

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

MAG can be awesome if you like to play with teamwork and invest some time.

But when you got a bunch of COD noobs on your side it get's pretty annoying.

Also the money/supply depot system can be pretty harsh on newcomers as you not only have to level up to be able to buy stuff but you also have to make money. You will have to be pacient before getting some really useful stuff like supressors, 'nade launchers, anti-personal and anti-tank mines... All the while experienced players unleash this (over)powered load on you. You can aim for ribbons and objectives to make good money, but you'll manytimes have problems trying to do both getting money and what your team needs you to do.

This system of valuable rewards to veterans combined with the steep learning curves (as in all online only games for any late adopter) can make the game quite harsh on newcomers (I started playing in late October so I got my share of this) but it can still be really fun with a good squad the give you guidence.

It's cheap at gamestop, if there's one available where you live. $27.99 used and even less if you had an Edge card.

[FunAndGun]

You can buy MAG at Gamefly for under $20.

[ngecenk]

yes it is fun but its hard to get used to especially if you've just been through CoD.
its more like bfbc2, but with 256 instead of 24.

[Raoh]

i play it often, i took a break for medal of honor and got wrapped up in battlefield bad company 2 again but am looking forward to returning to mag.

its not chaos with 128 on your team its very well organized. the hype of the game has died down enough that only people that like the game are playing so you are playing with experienced players that communicate.

[frayed]

Depends on what you like. It's more tactical and strategic than COD. You have to invest in it a bit. But the scale of it can't be compared to anything else and it's really impressive when you feel like you're in the midst of a full-on battle. The shooting is very solid too (headshots matter), and there's loads of different weapons/accessories. Can be a love or hate thing. Best description is that it's like Battlefield 2 back in the day.

Thumbs up from me.

[Shackdaddy836]

Well, I love BF2 so I guess I'm buyin then :)

Thanks

[metsgaming]

if its the complete opposite of COD than this game must be good.

[Stationfan]

Thumbs up for me haven't played in awhile but I did buy it first day and Jane put in alotnof hours

[facelike]

I recently figured this out myself, helps a lot.

[itchy18]

hey is it really good if you use move in this game? cause i have move and i've been thinking either to buy this game or not.

[Arup02]

This game looks amazing. I'm imagining myself playing with 265 people.

[pixelsword]

It's not that good; it only has 256 people, but 265 would have been the best!

:D

[Dark_king]

they could do 265.Zipper has said they could do larger then 256 players matches.I would actually like to see whats the max they could do.Would make a great free add-on to bring people back in.

[Xusuyzus]

great post bro !

[Masterchef2007]

Pretty cool might have to pick this up. But i dont know is how large the community is. It would stick if you go online and theres no one to play with. I live in Spain btw

[Hedberg]

Great post...the last part of the video where you aim outside the borders during calibration to lessen the sensitivity is the best part. Awesome and very helpful. ALSO @ ngecenk: the main thing that separates this from Battlefield BC2 is that in MAG you can go prone to snipe, hide or crawl around ...whatever you want to do. For some reason the devs at DICE omit this feature for BFBC2 and Medal of Honor. Evidently to DICE, troops in the real world never go prone. Good thing the guys at Zipper know the deal :) Not being able to go prone in Multiplayer on BC2 and Medal of Honor were deal breakers for me. MAG is more realistic for this reason alone.

[BeastModeYMOB]

I love MAG and I did this on the 3rd day of using MOVE. It really didn't take long to figure it out. But I have everything like his setting except the point sensitivity. Hell I choose to use MOVE over DS3 now that i'm used to it.

[frayed]

Cool man,

the real question is how many people figured it out like you and I did?

That's why I made the video.

And you're right, I don't have any desire to go back to the DS3 now. It just feels so restrictive.

[BeastModeYMOB]

Not many, and that's why I think Sony should make a video like this and post it in the PS Store. Or allow users to have a section in the PS Store/Home for uploading helpful videos for any game. The more we spread the word the more MAG + MOVE players we will have.

Now...off to sniping. ;)

[raztad]

@frayed

Thanks for the video man. I appreciate it.

I exclusively play MAG with MOVE. It is just funner and more rewarding.

I was using almost stock competitive settings (just slightly modified). It has worked wonderful for me so far. However the trick to make the pointer smoother looks worthy a try.

[PS3gamer4life]

this still the best war game out right now till my favorite war game come out socom4
