I'll be trading in  for sure. But Kesi is right ... to each his own.
 
Play what you enjoy.
 
My guess is If you like your kill streak rewards you wont like Mag.

Exactly about the kill streak. To me its way more rewarding on MAG when u get one hell of a kill streak, on UT3 these days its hella easy, lol.
Currently playing MAG nightly with Wopr, we be owning on SVER n the EF CLAN. UT3 got boring, no competition, nothing else to prove, qM got dat **** on lock.

The size of the game is VERY MANAGEABLE in the squads
 
The game I think looks better than MW2 the graphics are superior but thats my opinion.
 
DAN you should just rent it for a day. That way you give it a trial for a few pounds and if you hate it you dont have to waste your money.
 
At some point the player pop will drop and the size will be an achilles heal but so what.
All games eventually die.
 
I did my own little review of the games positives and negative in our clan base here's the link if you care  the 11th post from the top is a top 10 good and bad list
 
 
Everyone in DEEP is going to get it.


i still don't see the hype in MW2.  i just DON'T see it.  someone explain this to me.  there is campers that desperately kill to get a nuke to win a match.  you camp for a killstreak.  you get that killstreak.  use a UAV.  repeat to continue that killstreak.  get the nuke.   game over.  WHAT'S THE POINT???

i'm sorry.  i'd rather have an all out war in a huge area and not be confined to small areas with spawn killers and campers.  
 
exactly why i wouldnt waste 2 seconds of my life on this game :\

wouldnt waste 2 seconds of my life on CODmw2, already wasted a few hours on CODmw1 and took me like 30 mins to realize the game was a joke that just rewarded asswipes for camping.
 
as far as MAG.. gonna give it a shot if a demo drops... i downloaded the beta but i think it ended before i got a chance to try it.. went on last week and it said servers were down

Beta's over. Theres a tourney going on now that Crow and Inc are involved in.
Your best shot is to rent it.
 
I don't even know this, but are games available for rent the day they drop or do you have to wait a month or something?

I know around here they have games to rent the day they come out, I know they had MW2 to go on the shelves to rent a few days before it came out so I'd say so. I know me and wopr are buying it at midnight the day it comes out, so basically the 1st hour so we can go ahead and get ahead of some peeps. Crow is tryin to also but his local wal mart is full of dumbf***s, hell aren't all of em, lol.

And yeah the tournament is fun right now. There is a lot more comp then what was in the open beta. You got all kinds of people trying to be point whores so everyone is at the top of their game, u barely see a casual player.

Fluff speaks the truth. The only thing worse than my UT3 skills is my MAG skills. Get online, level up and find some good players to surround yourself with. Translation, I'm swinging off of IncreMENTAL's, Crow's and WOPR's nuts.

yo i'm probably a newbie for saying this since i haven't even played this game, but to me what the difference between this and call of duty or quake wars it seems the same to me, well besides the 256 players thing. and from the gameplay i've seen it takes to long to respawn. yo no attacks cause i'm just asking a simple question, and i'm trying to see if i should get this, cause this chick at my job told me she loves playing it, but i still don't see nothing different about it from other  war games.

Well your first problem is definately you haven't played this game, I'm well aware that u haven't played it and your just questioning so I understand where ur coming from cause I'd do the same. It might look like COD but I assure you is no COD. I don't really know the exact words on how to compare the two. Personally I'm a fan of renting games before I buy. I thank everyone should do this.

One thang I can answer is the spawns. This is a team game meaning u spawn with ur squad. The spawns don't take forever, don't know where the hell yourgetting that from. Every now and then if you don't time it right you'll have to wait 20secs but after playing the game for a while it can amost be avoided. The thang is they want you to spawn with your teamates so you always have a group going to the objective together and not just random spawns 1 by 1 with you all spread out. So sometimes if people r dead before u, you can watch their spawn meter and as its close to the end just bleedout if no one can save and boom you'll spawn almost instantly. Again until u play the game ur probably thankin right now, wtf. You all just need to try it.

Personally my opinion. I like the 20sec spawns every now and then, gives me a chance to thank and regroup, write a text message back, get a drank, or eat some Grippos which is Crows and Woprs favorite chips BTW.

I say to everyone, judge if u want but to get an honest answer play it.

Whoa.  Maybe you should get a custom keyboard with the "I" and the "A" at the extreme right and left, respectively.

Is the chick you work with good looking? Get her to invite you over to try it out. If you're lucky, you'll get to try MAG and get laid.

I went Valor because it's the american team. Raven and SVER have some cool weapons though. Check all of them out.

Yeah, it's wise. You need to level up and get points to get better weapons and skills to earn more points to get even better weapons and even better skills and so on and so on.

DA, I think there might be some aspects to MAG that would appeal to you.
1-There are no weapons you can "spam" with.
     -You only get two grenades per loadout. So, you try to use them when you know you are going to get some kills.
     -The rocket launcher is like a screen-door on a submarine, totally useless. I have shot people point blank with it and stood in awe as they walked up and knifed me.
2-Vehicles play such a limited role in this game.
     -There are no vehicles in Sabotage (the mode I play primarily).
3-No "power-ups" -Nobody is going to deny an awesome kill because they got the shield belt.
I'm one of the worst fraggers in the history of UT3. I have carried that title over to MAG. It isn't stopping me from having a good time. -Except when Incremental yells at me. Then, I cry into one of the pillows on my couch between matches.
I hope you get it.
Cheers.

I went Valor because that's where the VAG is at. Having a great time playing with VAG, it's so warm and moist, you can just feel the love. Oh, and when your dying, you can watch WOPR coming.
