MAG Update 2.0 Coming Soon

Dan Lee 30 Comments

Zipper Interactive has announced that MAG patch 2.0 will be arriving in less than a month. They had the following to say:

“We’re calling it “MAG 2.0″ for a reason and it’s because of the sheer number of fantastic new additions, including:

  • PlayStation Move support
  • An increased level cap that goes to level 70
  • A revamped Skill Tree that allows for the deepest character customization and specialization ever found in a first-person shooter
  • A brand-new in-game economy that lets you earn credits to spend on weapons and items from the also-new “Supply Depot”
  • Our useful “Clan Deploy” feature that enables clan leaders and officers to queue up to 128 of their fellow clan members into a single game
  • A “MAG News” page that brings players up to date on all the latest happenings the moment they log in
  • A multitude of updates that refine existing weapons, maps, and vehicles
  • Important bug fixes and other enhancements that streamline the overall experience

We’ll have specifics as to what else is in the MAG 2.0 patch as we near its release. Oh, and before we go, don’t forget to keep an eye out for additional news in the near future regarding our next DLC pack, which includes our upcoming Escalation game-type and nine all-new weapons.”

Say what you will about MAG, but the game has seen extensive tweaking in answer to criticisms from the fans.  It’s great to see a game get this type of post release support.

    “Walmart also recently revealed a sequel to Zipper’s MAG for sometime next year, for instance. We can’t go into details, but don’t be surprised if some more information about this topic comes out soon. And it might not be what you think.”

    *cough* Walmart. *cough* WTF!? *cough*
    :)

  2. Been trying these out in the latest beta and it all looks pretty good. Gonna give it a blast with Move at some point this weekend.
    I totally agree with Dan that the amount of support has been brilliant and am sure it will continue on at least until they launch SOCOM4 next year.

    • It will be supported after SOCOM 4. You can trust me on that.
      *tips nose*

      • i waz downloadin da beta, and then i waz playin it, but then it required another download, but da problem waz…
        IT WAZ AN IN-GAME DOWNLOAD!!!
        RRAARRRGHHHH

        Im soo MAAD!
        so i quit, no point, i can just play some lbp instead =P

  3. Perhaps it is about time to get MAG :P
    Many times I held it in my hands and than decided to put it away and go for a different game. Somehow the game does sound interesting, but I don’t have loads of time to spend on all games and MAG sounds time-consuming to levelup and sorts.

    Anyone got the ultimate one-liner to get me to buy MAG?

    • I got a copy for ta tenner on Ebay.

    • yh, i think itz perhaps time-consumin coz da matches are quite long, bout 20min, but dat should be like 3 matches or 6 matches a day for me, dunno bout u, but i think itz great

      JOIN SVER! XD

  4. well i have been playing mag on and off since release, and i have to say its getting better and better, im looking forward to this patch

    • so am i, (although i dnt even hav mag lol) =P

  5. This game has been supported incredibly well, maybe it’s time I got back into it … hmm, possibly after the barrage of pre-christmas releases.

  6. i played the new mode yesturday and tried my best to play with my move controller, unfortunately i epic failed and didnt seem capable of holding the gun steady, just out of interest is anybody from tsa going to re-review any of the titles that have been patched with move support

    • i hope that move is good with the fps games, kz3 looked awesome and if it works well on mag ill be happy…

      i got my move kit on thurs

    • i think it should get a second review (and not replacin da previous review), but to sit alongside it, and just reviewin da whole Move side of da game X)

  7. Good to see zipper continuing support plus they also announced the next DLC ‘escalation’ too ;)
    Hmm, a 1 liner to get mag? It ain’t cod! ;)

    • MAG should’ve received some new maps (via DLC) AGES ago, itz a shock they’re plannin it now =1

  8. its all well and good raising the cap to 70 but does that mean they will update the trophys to hit 70 for each faction instead?? cos im still working my way round a 2nd time and wanna do a third also but the extra ten levels is a bit strange.

    • naah, i seriously doubt that they would change da trophies, coz datz never ever happened be4 =1

  9. I really need to get back on MAG, I fear for a huge updates that I did not updated it lol Last I played was April lol, but I got Move and I will get a move on xD

    • lol, yep, get a move on, and join da TSA clan XD
      im in da TSA clan for UC2, i nvr played on lbp tsa’s clan, coz it waz nvr competitive (datz wat i think), coz we’re alwayz playin in a team.

      but in lbp 2, there’s gonna be competition, so if i get lbp 2 (which i most likely will), i’ll join da tsa clan for dat

  10. Woo, can’t wait! :)
