Does anybody know anything about the MAG (Massive Action Game) Sony announced?

As far as I can gather, its going to support up to 256 players online, divided into squads of 8. Sounds interesting if they get it to work but I have a horrible suspicion that it'll be chaos.

It looks cool but i wonder if it will be a first person shooter of a 3rd ?
i hope first cause i hate 3rd person shooters with a passion.

From what I gather, it's being developed by Zipper Interactive which suggests that it's going to be a FPS in the same vein as their SOCOM series. Could be good, although I'm still trying to work out if this a generational shift of an evolutionary one.

If this is going to take the whole FPS platform forward then it's got some big boots to fill. Having earnt my stripes on the PC playing the BF series, I have a real yearning for a company to really crack it and find a suitable approach. However, the issues related to having so many people online could bog this down. If they have found a way to encourage (force?) cooperation then this will be a winner. Die-hard FPS fans are looking for an immersive experience that rewards scalable tactical gameplay.
