MAG Update 2.10 Launches Today

Massive online shooter, MAG, will today be receiving another patch, delivering a couple of new features as well as dozens of minor tweaks to the gameplay. Players will now be able to capture screenshots in 720p via a new command listed under [Photo] in the XMB. A great feature for the hardcore fans, though how quick the action can be performed has yet to be tested.

Another notable features is the implementation of “Multiqueues,” which in effect allows players to line up for two or more game-types simultaneously. Here is the full list of patch of notes Zipper Interactive posted on the official MAG blog:
