Since the clans that are part of the PVGA would like to play together, we should decide which faction is best for us. You can only join your friends if you are in the same faction. So lets pick one out.
The following is info I pulled from Game Informer, Joystiq (thnx Douglas), and IGN.
Each of the factions in MAG differ quite a bit in terms of design and weapons (of which there are over 70). The Raven faction is a glossy, high-tech group with the latest and greatest weapons and gear. Their slick, gray and black carbon body armor look matches their headquarters as well, both in color and tech level. Meanwhile, as mentioned, SVER is a rough-and-tumble group who customize weapons found on the battlefield with graffiti and taped-on customizations. Their bases are jungles of rusty metal and corrugated steel sheets, providing cover from enemy fire. Finally, the last group is Valor -- think USA Delta Forces and you're on track. They have more traditional military gear, with lots of camo and more classically styled gear. Their headquarters in Alaska is complemented nicely by the huge beards that many of their troopers have.
Each of these crews has a very specific color palette assigned to them so that when you see a purple and black base, you know you've run into Raven territory, and when you're behind a machine gun that's spray painted all kinds of crazy colors, you know that you're playing as a member of SVER
Valor is the camo-wearin' crew you'd think of if a bunch of Army grunts splintered off and formed their own group;
Raven
"Decked out in polished black attire and sporting high tech futuristic weapons, the Raven faction features the most highly trained soldiers on the planet. Zipper says their style of play will appeal to fans of sci-fi shooters like Halo and Resistance." Raven is filled with high-tech gear and sleek black outfits featuring molded plastic armor;
Sver
"Pronounced "sever", this faction is comprised of fierce fighters raised in the climate of warfare. Sver soldiers often hail from war-torn regions in the Middle East or Central Asia. Their weapons arsenal may not be the most powerful, but these battle hardened warriors are very adaptable. Sver soldiers wear brown and gray outfits similar to those found in S.T.A.L.K.E.R." SVER is comprised of soldiers who find hunks of scrap metal and make it into part of their armor
