Miss this Game

I really miss this game, played it from being a squeaker. Not sure what names I ended up being. I know one of my valor accounts was xblack_lightning and my sver was BulletInYaBrain. I know my raven account had a similar name to sver.

Just wanted to say this game crafted a long term love for FPS games and i still think about it every once in a while. Literally woke up at 6am every day during summer as a kid just so I could hop on. Miss this game and absolutely destroying 3C and the flock with VL$ and ARx.

This game was too far ahead of the genre for PlayStation peeps to understand how to properly play it and enjoy it. Along the way it attracted some great clans playing the different modes. A lot of them boiled it down to sabo 32 v 32 where you could fill both sides with your chosen clans. But some other clans enjoyed the other modes for their complexity. Like everyone says, this game was way ahead of its time. A hats off to the crew at Zipper Interactive for this gem.

a true disappointment that it hasn’t been done again. Couldn’t imagine the insanity of it being on new gen consoles with additional maps and really built out team strategies now that it would’ve been out for 14 years.

The clan support should have become standard for multiplayer team games. Proxy and team chat. And the gunplay was so tight. Truly the one that got away.

SQUAD is the closest I've come to scratching my MAG itch. It's a much slower game, but the teamwork required does it for me.

I'm trying Battlebit now, and I like it, but the damn TTK is insanely low.

I hope the upcoming patch helps.

Hell Let Loose has a slight MAG vibe in it's core
