Same Old Shit or Massive Hit?

When I look at MAG(Massive Action Game), I see a game entirely devoted to gameplay. It's sole mission is to have GOOD GAMEPLAY. The story doesn't matter. If you read my Half-Life review, you would know that the story isn't necessarily important to a military fps(or you probably knew that already). The bottom line is that MAG, while having a great premise and future potential, doesn't in its present form, look like it will live up to its epic predecessors (Counter-Strike, COD4, Halo). Really, in terms of both storyline and gameplay, nothing new (besides the online 256 player aspect) has been introduced that hasn't been seen before. The graphics, also, are nothing special. The game straight up lacks shock value. I have yet to play MAG but chances are I'll probably stick with Modern Warfare 2 or Bad Company 2(if that turns out to be any good).
