MAG: Massive Amount of Game data

There's been some confusion about MAG, Zipper Interactive's 256 player super-multiplayer game. Some had wondered if the game would be made available as a PSN download, similar to Sony's other online efforts, like Warhawk and SOCOM Confrontation. However, Jeremy Dunham replied on the PlayStation.Blog confirming that the game will be "disc-based only." Dunham also added that "the game is so huge when moving everything off-disc, your hard drive is secretly thanking us."

Anyone that participated in the beta will likely complain about the massive amounts of data that had to be downloaded during each game update. Considering the beta is but a taste of what's to come in the full game, the necessity for a retail-only release seems all the more evident.

it's true the game data was rather hefty; a disc is a pretty sound idea.

They need to do a MAG PSP Version... MAG = Mini Action Game :O

With 2, 5, or 6 players?

lol, 3 teams of 2 players, with multiple objectives, each team is a different faction, and there are multiples objectives. The bigger the objective is, it handles more points.The Team that has the biggest ammount of points wins. U earn Exp, that lets u buy npc/bots (up to 4) and u can even upgrade em. Each player in the team can command up to 2 bots.

Sorry, i am really bored :P

I really doubt that a "MultiPlayer Only" Game would actually sell... Yes adhoc might help, but still.
