MAG: Aussie Servers confirmed

“Like Killzone 2, the global server set will include MAG servers based in Australia, demonstrating Sony Computer Entertainments commitment to do everything it can to ensure that consumers will get an optimal experience when playing this ground breaking title online.”

Too bad we'll never get 256 players on at the same time

But could you imagine a 256 player TOG battle? Now that is something for the console division to aspire to

I would get this game with an Aussie server for some TOG mayhem

I got it, MAG Looks like a modern version Planetside... Not Bad, I will play till I get bored. Mostly on the Weekends Nights and when I wake up. Add Me please. Handle is Vlaudanum. What Faction are You all?

So me being NA, I won't be able to play with any of you Aussie TOGgers? Such a bummer, since there seems to be so many more Aussies than NA players around here.

Mate it's fantastic. All those people online in the same game. Bloody brilliant.

No lag issues so far and game play smooth as.
