I've been playing MAG lately and I have to say I like it better than Bad Company. I have BC1 and have played plenty of the BC2 beta. BC does vehicles and buildings better, but the shooting mechanic and overall progression of a match is much better in MAG.
It has huge maps that can feel like seriously frantic warzones and smaller, team-based arenas over the course of a match. It has much more rewarding non-combat classes; medic and engineer classes will get you plenty of XP and are really crucial to the team's success in MAG.
The one drawback of MAG is that it is a slow burn. It does a pretty terrible job of showing you how great a game is until you've spent 5-8 hours playing it. I've never had a more rewarding experience playing a shooter online, not even MW2. Once you gain the ability to apply for a leadership position in a match, you start to see just how strategic the game can be.... or you can just run around and shoot stuff and have fun that way too.MAG may not look or sound pretty, but it'll reward you if you invest some time in it.
