We did encounter some lag during our games in the Beta, with enemies jumping from point to point frequently. When we spoke to Zipper, we were told it was the result of specific issues from that venue. Given that the game hinges on a successful connection, fans will be pleased to know that Zipper has put a lot of effort into stress testing the game’s online infrastructure. “We’ve been trying to do it since the beginning…we built the network tech first,” Klee explained. “We’ve been working on testing this for a long time now, but as you continue to scale up, there are always more and more issues. We tried to have a long beta process to help our launch go smoothly.” With the game due this week, we won’t have to wait long to see how the final version holds up on retail PS3 units with typically home Internet speeds. And we’re hoping that, with Zipper’s long history of online support, MAG will be as lag-free as possible.
