MAG First Impressions By NoRC
 I have to say, I was kind of excited to be honest as the game promised 256 players online and being that it was made by the guys who the original SOCOM games so naturally I had high expectations. After downloading the 1.05 Patch I proceeded to join S.V.E.R and then do the training mission. Let me say, that my very first impression was that it seemed graphicly on par with the Call of Duty series, if not better and reminded me instantly of SOCOM: Confrontation. So on that alone I was happy with my free game. I completed the training, and the control system was very Battlefield Bad Company in its layout. This works for me, as im more a BFBC kinda control guy than a COD guy. So heading into a online battle, I was keen to see how badly I would get pwned as I had been told by several OGP members this would happen with my low noobie rank... I did assure them my sneaky bastard tactics would make up for base weapsons and no perks. Round 1: Got into it very quickly, and set off to capture Sat Station A. Altho I never captured it, or completed an objective I got a 4 kill streak on my first spawn via sneaky flanking tactics and excellent aim with the AK-74U or what ever default gun I had. Finally one of the Raven guys managed to one up me when I ran out into the open with a well placed sniper shot. Respawning he got me again, I vowed this wouldnt happen a third time so after spending a minute sneaking around his location I took him out and then a slew of his comrades as they were tryin to stop our guys hitting the comms station. The rest of the match was pretty good to be honest, loved the paratrooper drop in after we had capped the first two locations. We never managed to get the third location, but by the time we got to it our team was in a mess with the guys who had mics (mine was on charge) just dribbling crap and not using any kind of team effort. Round 2: See Round 1. I have to say, so far even tho I've only played 2 rounds.. I have really enjoyed it. I like the way it plays out, the environment is nicely detailed and you can be very stealth if you want to. All in all, no real faults stick out to me and despite expecting to be pwned by the other team I found myself holding my own rather well.
