When Zipper Interactive first announced their 256-player, online FPS, calling it MAG, many were skeptical - it was an unfeasible number of players... or so people thought. They've been proven wrong, and in spectacular fashion, as Zipper haven't only proven that they can handle that number of players, but that they can do it in style too.

The weapons list is looking pretty good too, with a well-rounded roster of weapons which allow for all sorts of different playing styles. The weapons for each team also seem to reflect their individual characteristics, which should be good.

colt 1911: 7 rds, standard medium power pistol.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing how the MP7A1 is going to turn out. We'll have to wait and see how the weapons actually feel when the controller is in-hand when the game is released in January 2010.
