The next MAG patch will be available in early August, and for free. In just over a week from now, the patch will be released with a number of new features asked for by gamers. Improvements include new “Happy Hour”, where gamers get double XP for the first hour of their session in a 24 hour period.
Since MAG was released back in January, Zipper Interactive have made many improvements to the game. The latest improvement, and something requested by games, was the ability to play on any map in the game. All the maps in the “Sabotage” game mode are now faction neutral, meaning any faction can play on a map, even if its owned by another faction.
It’s been just over four and a half months since MAG released worldwide and 930,000 battles, 1.7 million players, and 1.1 billion kills later, the time to expand is now. Zipper Interactive has announced that the Interdiction expansion pack is coming to the PlayStation Store on 22 June 2010 for €7.99.
Zipper Interactive’s senior community manager Jeremy Dunham has finally revealed that a new patch for MAG will be available this week. As posted on the games official blog, the massive update will be released tomorrow from 1am Pacific/ 4am Eastern/ 8am GMT.The update includes modified weapon performance, new medi-kit functionality and more.
Make sure you mark April 29th on the calendar. The 256-player online game MAG will be getting free DLC on the 29th, known as the “Fast Attack” Gear Pack. The free DLC pack adds three brand new Special Edition Sniper Rifles that include a number of performance adjustments and visual variations to the already-popular long-range weapons.
Over the last few weeks, the MAG team have been prepping some behind-the-scenes updates in an effort to maximize your shooting experience in the 256-player shooter. As a result, MAG will soon be patched to version v1.05. The patch will be available starting Monday, April 19 at 1am Pacific/ 4am Eastern/ 9am GMT. Full details on the changes can be found below.
If you can’t get enough of MAG, you’ll be happy to know that you will be able to personalize your Home Personal Space and Avatar with furniture and costumes from the game. You can find the Ballistic Armour set for S.V.E.R., Reinforced Composite Armour for Raven, while for Valor there’s the Reinforced Fibre Armour. Also available for each faction are a Footlocker and Lamp or Light Fixture.
MAG was recently patched to version v1.04, fixing a number of issues and server enhancements. The patch weighs in just under 40MB and contains a total of seven fixes for the game. Fixes include tuning of the sniper rifles to be less effective out of scope-mode, anti-cheat improvements on the server and fixes for collisions. Check out the complete list of fixes below.
The first downloadable content will be heading to MAG next week, on March 25th 2010, and best of all, it’s free! Dubbed the “Trooper Gear Pack,” the will offer a number of cool goodies for veterans and first timers alike. Out of everything in the pack, the most popular will likely be the oft-requested “Flashbang Grenade” that can be used to confuse, disorient or distract your enemies in a single throw.
MAG has received a massive patch this morning, updating the game to v1.03. The patch weighs in between 41MB and 49MB depending on your region and fixes a lot of issues and exploits in the game – almost 30 issues have been fixed in total.
