The lights are on
Ok...so say you have enough money to buy either Mag or MW2.....which one would you buy.
I personally like the teamwork/ massive amounts of players in MAG, but MW2 looks like a great game also. The problem with MW2 is the fact that a new COD game might come out in a year or so...

I don't think people should be allowed to ask this.
It's like asking if you would rather eat delicious lucky charms (MW2), or generic Marshmallow Cereal that comes in a bag from the bottom shelf of the cereal aisle (MAG)
I wish I could get a refund on MAG, its only half baked....
modern warfare 2 is better and i highly recomend it over mag
MAG. MW2 has horrible glitchy multiplayer and a horrible community. Plus, the campaign really sucks. It's probably the worst campaign I have ever played. The only value that you can possibly derive from MW2 is the Spec-Ops.
Although GI did rate MAG a 7 (deservingly) and MW2 a 9.75 (VERY undeservingly).
MAG seems like a funner perspective due to its massive player list of 256.
Two completely different games, all depends on what you're looking for.
Seriously people need to stop comparing the two, just because they are shooters doesn't mean they are competing for the same people
Depends. Are you a team player or do you care more about yourself? MAG is for the former and MW2 is for the latter. And as BHW said, the two are so different that they're not even worth comparing.
What would the world be like if everything suddenly disappeared?
Well...i don't really care about the kill/death ratio...and i do like to play in a team...i think mag sounds good......but all of my psn friends have mw2
256 people online is just too much. Too chaotic. I like the intimacy of MW2. 6 on 6 is more fun. Plus, the graphics, playability and audio on Modern Warfare 2 are way superior.
If you want strong team play, skip MAG and get BBC2 (unless it's exclusive, I don't know about that). Pretty sure most of the more objective sources will agree that BBC2 is much more polished than MAG.
Nothing I've seen of MAG really impressed me; I already have/love MW2, and I'll probably wind up getting BBC2. If you just want pure unadulturated deathmatching, MW2 can't be beat, and IMO people who say otherwise are full of garbage. If you want team tactics based competitive multiplayer, get BBC2.
As to the glitches in MW2: really? If you complain about MW2 and I catch WoW on your list of favorites, I'm going to jump through this series of tubes Mario style and put my foot up your ignorant ass. IW does not have the bankroll that Blizzard does for play testing, and nobody could catch all the player behavior driven glitches in a game as big as MW2 (in terms of audience, over 5 mil on 360) before it went live. Also I think MW2 and IW did fall victim to Activision's craptastic "COD has to come out ever holiday season" schedule in terms of not beta testing.
You can't sit there with a straight face and say that any other portion of MW2 is buggy, just the glitches that are the result of exploiters doing their thing (being jackass).
nevaR!
Being that I was a MW2 player for quite some time, my opinion would have been skewed. However, after trying MAg, MW2 is likely to be shelved for a little while.
MAG brought back something for me that MW2 missed out on. It's fun. MW2 becomes a hassle and less fun due to the fact that higher "level" players can mingle with the less then good people and airstrike, bombard, stealth bomb and nuke.
MAG is what it is; meat sheilds and run and gun. It's fun. It is a little shallow in places, but I say "so what." I find that people get less pissed off at you when you die. The community is a little more isolated, but for the most part, they are great.
After playing both games, my favoritism is slowly moving over to MAG. MW2 had a lot of hype and looks beautiful and has single player. MAG never touted itself as singe player, its purely multiplayer through and through.
I would say if you like playing shooters online, go with MAG. if you want a single player campaign, go with MW2.
There are glitches in MW2. With such a strong community, glitches were found. Like unlimited airdrops for example, as well as a javlin almost right away. I'm sure that MAG will have some too, but at least its not airstrikes and supply drops.
Its like saying would i rather have chocolate or ice-cream: near immpossible, but i have played cod 4 before on pc and ds and even on the ds it looks pretty good,BBBBBBBUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTT MAG has a 256 multiplayer option so i dont know. let me think about it.......
I have both and i am more interested in MAG for the purpose rank can mean something and teamwork is needed actual tactical moments occur not just 6 to 9 mercs looking for who can get the most kills MW2 is fun and flashy but that is not enough to keep my attention. In all honesty i am just wait for Medal of Honor to reboot because remember before CoD there was a great split screen campaign on MoH started it CoD continue now it's time to take back pole position
