It was an idea we posited back in January when we had the opportunity to speak to Zipper on the eve of MAG’s launch – the prospect of a fourth PMC joining the soldier-for-hire party – and now the concept is back under discussion.
Commenting on questions sent in by the Official PlayStation community over at the Official PlayStation blog, Zipper’s Alan Van Slyke has touched on the idea of fresh blood entering the Shadow War, with perhaps an Asian or African PMC joining the fray. Responding to the possibility, he says:
While I won’t comment directly, I will say that one of the things we’re happiest with about MAG is that we’ve built a capable platform. Adding gametypes, factions, weapon types, vehicle types, expanding command structure… the opportunities are limitless, and we’ve only scratched the surface of what we can do with our engine and networking capabilities.
Speaking of adding gametypes, Alan also states that ” … there’s nothing preventing us from adding the ability to load all three factions into the same battle, for instance.” SVER Vs. Valor Vs. Raven all running around shooting at each other willy-nilly? Would two factions “team up” if the other was taking a lead? Now that would be interesting.
