So.. in future Quore will give MAG beta codes. I think this game very beta at the moment..
With this being a beta and them doing a major overhaul release they deleted the characters to rebalance the game more than likely. it is now harder to level up so that is a likely reason for deleting characters.
[QUOTE=Kiriller]To be honest, overall feel of MAG so far is Below standard. Why? damage on weapons sucks (MW feels more real) physics sucks again ill keep comparing to MW because i believe they have nailed everything to a tee. I was hoping MAG would look like the screenshots they have provided, they didnt, what in hell is this half life 1 graphics? I do not mean to Rant, but if i was to pay 60$ for such game, id expect more. 265 Player thing is just advertisement, you will never see even 50 people on your screen at a time.
I do understand this game is still in beta, but how did they come up with such screen shots when they were in PRE-Beta stage?[/quote]
I don't see much in the way of half life 1 graphics, but the game should have < MW graphics due to the scale of the game. Plus its actually something fun other than another CoD. The only complaint Iv'e had other than bugs are the controls, but thats a whole different story as it couldn't just use CoD'a controls and still have as many options as it does. Me and my friends have quite enjoyed the beta so far and are hoping the final is even more fun.

You are going to have to be a lot more descriptive than that if you expect anyone here to know what you're referring to.
