Forums - Sony - MAG 2.0 patch detailed

http://www.vg247.com/2010/09/16/mag-2-0-patch-detailed-by-zipper-interactive

Jeremy Dunham, senior community manager for Zipper Interactive, has announced over on the game’s official blog some information regarding the next update for MAG.

Dubbed MAG 2.0, the patch is less than a month out, and it includes the following:

  • 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”
  • “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

Zipper promised more information on the MAG 2.0 patch as a release gets closer, and also plans to dish more on the next available DLC pack, which includes the new Escalation mode and nine new weapons.

MAG 2.0, huh. Sounds a lot like something we’ve seen before.

Since you can purchase MAG at retail, it’s not too far-fetched to assume new discs shipping with Move support will be released. Maybe Walmart just forgot to add the bit after the number 2 to the placeholder.

Sounds more probable to us anyway. We’ll ask.

Seems quite probable that this is MAG 2 then. It wouldn't hurt having another game out there that had 'Move' on the box either.

good story. mag is on my list



they'll probably re-release it as a Move enabled game, i remember when Square Enix re-released FFVIII on PS1 a couple of years ago because they changed their logo.

i even have a copy of it like this.

really the only problam with the game is the lack of game modes it only has 4 and there mostly the same attacking or defending, the game has 256 player matches surely they could up with some cool and fun.

There's the new Escalation mode coming with DLC before long, though I don't know what that is like. I'd love a zombie mode, with a few human players against a horde of zombie players!

lol its going to need more the one new mode to be interesting, a zombie mode would be cool or an infection mode god zipper make it happen



I dislike the zombie idea, would take way too much work to change the whole game mechanics and adding the mode out of the Shadow War-system.


If they make a new game with zombies in it, then I'm game.

Do you happen to have a PC than can run Counter-Strike: Source? I bet you do. It has a nice zombie mode. I've not played it myself as I'm not a huge fan of CS but I've seen my brother play it and it seems pretty nice. Also has tons of players, it's still a popular game.

Anyway, sounds nice. Now if only the game was cheaper...



i'd love to see these guys selling the game with the 2 DLCs for 60 bucks!

I'll definitely play this game more often after the release of 2.0, but I sure do hope other people come back as well since waiting in a queue for 10 minutes sucks.
