It seems like only yesterday that I was kicking Zipper’s arse in a 256 battle royal over at the MAG launch event in London. In fact, MAG is now rapidly approaching its one year anniversary.
Still actively supported by its developer – especially with the revitalising reboot that was MAG 2.0 – Zipper are marking this milestone by holding a points bonanza along with the chance to play against Zipperites from tomorrow until Sunday.
Jeremy Dunham, Senior Community Manager at Zipper Interactive, states:
Starting Wednesday, January 26 at 12am Pacific Time, we’re changing all in-game queue and “Happy Hour” bonuses to 256% until Sunday, January 30 at 11:59pm. If you’ve been meaning to level up to grab our various “level 60” trophies, our promotional time period is a great time to go for it!
Speaking of January 26, all day from 10am-5pm Pacific Time, members of the Zipper Interactive QA team (our best players!) will be online and playing MAG throughout the day. If you’ve never participated in our “Play MAG with Zipper” events, they’re great fun and offer you the perfect opportunity to show us your skills.
Our third and final promotion is a special “Faction Neutral” switch for the Domination and Acquisition modes. For the first time ever in MAG “Live,” our two biggest game types will switch from being PMC-specific to being open for defense by any of our three factions. Like our 256% XP bonus, this mode switch will be in operation from January 26 at 12am Pacific to January 30 at 11:59pm.
We’re big proponents of the massive shooter. See you on the battlefield, soldier. [SVER 4EVER]

Just bought a new copy having traded my day one copy mid last year. The 2.0 improvements are brilliant. It is refreshing to play a proper team game after the single minded CODs. I would recommend whole heartedly. If you do get it, join SVER!

Never!

I was in the beta – back then it was quite messy and people really didn’t work as a team. Is it worth picking up now? Can you still get a full game?
Dan Lee
Its at its best when you’re with a squad of mates, rather than joining a random group. Servers are still busy.
RocketSOL
A speedy reply, thank you sir!
I might get it then if I can convince some friends to purchase it as well.

I haven’t played since the beta either, but I hear it’s much improved nowadays. http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/01/11/mag-one-year-on/
