Join Joystiq's MAG army and get a free beta code

MAG is a pretty ridiculous title, but it does perfectly sum up what the game is all about. Massive Action Game is the first console game to feature 128 vs. 128 online multiplayer matches, which you'll be able to try tomorrow with the debut of beta 4.5.

We want you to join the Joystiq army: a 128-person squad of loyal Joystiq readers ready to represent us online. The PlayStation Network will tremble, with the Joystiq team striking fear into all that dare to step into MAG. Together, world domination will be ours!*

But, you say you're not in the MAG beta? Well, we'll fix that right now! Become a Joystiq fan on Facebook and you'll be able to score yourself a code.

raven ftw!!

...that logo has an almost uncanny resemblance to Smirnoff's logo.

In! Thanks joystiq!!

In!

Valor all the way

I'm already in the Beta and I don't use facebok but can I still be on yer ole team? This game is pretty awesome btw ... i think ppl who haven't played it are going to like it. Still, I like BF:BC2 better than MAG ... and both better than MW2.

btw ... SVER ftw

Do you go to every shooter post and take hits at MW2?

Since it just came out it's hard not to draw comparisons. Also, considering I've played Bad Company 2, MAG and Modern Warfare 2 I'm giving an honest opinion. But, simply saying I like MAG & BC2 better than MW2 is hardly hating. In fact, it's stating my opinion. Don't like it? Use the Joystiq comment kill filter and never see any of my comments again.

Posted. Will send the code to one of my american friends since I live in the wrong place :(

SVER needs us representing

Im so in :) Thanks Joystiq

I entered, dunno why since this game has not impressed me at all but oh well let's give it a shot anyway.

Considering it's multiplayer only and the fact you've already casted judgement on it in the past without having played it you should probably save yourself the trouble of the 4+ GB download and just give the code to someone more deserving. I can tell you right now with 100% certainty that you won't like it, you'll say it sucks, the graphics are terrible and that no one works together as a team.

Well yeah I already knew it sucks, but I want to give it a shot anyway just to say I did.

Tmac, for the last time dood, you don't fucking know it sucks, you haven't played it, you can't predict the future, so just stop acting like the Miss Cleo of Joystiq.

Psh miss cleo was a fraud, I'm the actual real deal.

@johnnynumber5
Similar to how you act about MW2?

Hypocrite...

@Dreaded Fear: Considering MW2 is actually out, that would make him anything but a hypocrite

@Dreaded Fear

How am I being a hypocrite exactly? Check my PSN profile if you don't believe me but I already beat the game and put probably 7 or so hours into the multiplayer before I traded it in to Gamestop. More than enough time to formulate an opinion based off experience. It's not like I went into it the game expecting to hate it. I wanted to like it and I gave it a shot but I thought it was overrated.

Thats different than saying a game "sucks" before ever playing it. In fact, I usually try to even avoid saying MW2 sucks and try to make the caveat that it wasn't for me and that I feel it's overrated.

PWNED

OH WORD!

Overrated... an overused saying.

The game really is shapping up to be something good, and it was alot of fun when I was in it. BC2 is probably going to be the better game, based only on the beta's for the two, but still, if you like shooters than you really should try this out. Just remember to be a team player and listen to your squad leader. Not only is that the best way to win, but for you to get the most points and progress the fastest.

And go Valor.

Sorry, wrong contest."

Never bring that up again. We are trying to forget it... Painful memories

Haha, but did you notice the FAQ? We're trying to make sure people don't misunderstand a contest in the future.

This game looks awesome!

I find it weird that every team name has a "V" in the title.

Just me?

They all have an "R" too.

They also all have vowels.

Any other insights?

Yeah...they're all with letters...

betas rock!

cool, i'd love to play

Count me in!

So any pseudo-reviews for this game yet? The concept is rather thrilling, though I must admit a disdain for FPS's.

...maybe a Dynasty Warriors version will be in the works later!!!

awesome

I'm already in the MAG beta though.
What's so special about 4.5?

...that didn't take long to disappear.

Surprise! We actually have more than 128 codes to giveaway. Join our Facebook group, as we'll be giving away more codes.

Happen to have 240-250ish by any chance? No reason in particular.

I bet "more than 128" means 130.

damn im too slow

Hey... um... yeah I got a code and I'm not from the US. You can have it, if you already have one or you're not from the US can you pass it on to someone else. FT7R-2JB6-G4FD

:( already taken

Can't I be a fan of Joystiq without joining Facebook?

Sweet, I'd love to play.

guh

Heck Yes!!

Count me in for the fight!
