Forums - Sony - The Official VGC MAG thread!

On Friday I thought I will go buy MAG and return it after a few days of playing it (Gamestation in the UK offer money back and no questions asked if returned within the first 10 days of purchase). Problem is I am hooked to the damn thing, and yes, the game is that damn good and I have only played it for 7hours (I played from 12am to 7am yesterday :p).

Anyhu, add your username and VGC name and what faction you serve so we can form our own clan similar to how we done with Killzone2 and just get our game one.

Make the thread fancy and stuff, you know..



Well right now my clan is in SVER, problem is that my clan isn't really that great if you ask me so i left. I plan on getting to the max level with SVER then doing, Max level with Valor, then Finally end with Raven as that's the company i want to be with.

If anyone has any clans in Sver or Raven send me a message. Sorry i just don't like Valor :P

btw, Patch 1.03 is releasing tomorrow for Mag, here's the patch changelong -

Available February 25, 2010 | 41MB (TPPS), 49MB (DLS)

Gameplay

  • Overhauled tuning of multiple weapons of all types (see “Weapon” section below)
  • Improved speed of weapon and gear swapping by approximately 500 milliseconds.
  • Fixed bug in SVER’s Aralkum Mechanical Acquisition map and Absheron Refinery Domination map that allowed players to defuse a charge planted on a repaired gate or door.
  • Added a “solid tone” sound effect near the end of a charge’s beeping detonation timer so that players know when the charge can no longer be defused and that they should vacate the area.
  • “Medium Improved” Armor now works as intended with the speed properties of Medium Armor and a defensive value greater than Medium, but less than Heavy Armor.
  • Changed resuscitated player’s camera orientation to match the last camera direction used while incapacitated instead of the pre-harm camera.
  • Players no longer lose XP if a teammate is killed by an objective explosion caused by a charge they planted.
  • Respec Point requirements in Barracks have been changed from 3K, 5K, 10K, 17K, 26K, and 26K-Repeat to 1K, 2K, 3K, and 3K-Repeat.
  • Lowered the amount of damage necessary to kill an incapacitated enemy
  • All fired projectiles (RPGs, Turret Rockets) have been given a steadier aim.
  • Mines that haven’t been triggered are no longer removed from the map when the dead player that deploys them respawns unless that player changes their Loadout (note: The maximum number of mines you can plant cannot exceed the number you initially spawn with).
  • Fixed bug that prevented “fully-resuscitated” players with more than 100 health points from receiving their full HP.
  • Fixed bug that caused players to take unnecessary damage from both friendly and enemy vehicles when touching them.
  • Players no longer lose leadership points after entering “Veteran Mode.”

Weapons

  • “From the hip” firing for Light and Medium machine guns have stronger recoil and are less accurate when moving.
  • Tuned weapon damage for all three factions.
  • Modified all short-ranged weapons (pistols, PDWs, shotguns, SMGs) so that they’re less effective at long distances.
  • Made Battle Rifles more effective.
  • Reduced accuracy bonus for using iron sights and reflex sights so that players can no longer snipe with weapons that aren’t intended to do so.
  • Increased damage values for all rockets to make them more effective (ex: three rockets can now destroy a DE turret).
  • Shooting through thin materials (fences, tents, etc.) will be more consistent.
  • Increased spread on shotguns.
  • Improved animations for rocket launchers.

Graphics

  • Fixed bug that caused the recoil animation to end early or stop animating if a player was firing their weapon for a long period of time.
  • Changed detonation time on smoke and poison gas grenades to prevent them from exploding in mid-air to eliminate unintended FX issues.
  • Added realistic fogging effects to sky-domes.

Technical

  • Fixed most conditions that caused players to be caught in a “respawn loop” which kept restarting the respawn queue when the countdown clock reached 0.
  • Changed in-game conditions to make it less likely to experience in-game freezes.
  • Improved client-side stability.

that update looks good but what does it mean when it says- Lowered the amount of damage necessary to kill an incapacitated enemy

does this mean people are weaker?

Incapacitation in Mag, is kinda like last stand in Call of Duty (minus ability to fight back). In this incapacitated state the enemy player can still be revived by teammates to return to the game. However they can be killed in this state. This update means it'll take less to Kill Off these enemy players that are bleeing out
