News: Check bottom of this post for the first DLC pack, available on June 22nd.
MAG So what type of game is this?:
MAG is an online only FPS which features up to 256-players in epic objective based battles. The game revolves around three PMCs (SVER, Raven, Valor) whose prosperity you choose to fight for in tournaments called the Shadow War. The game features a MMO-like skill tree to help custom tailor your character to whatever play style you prefer. But to be a good squadmate youll want to create several loadouts to prepare for any need. If you want to heal or revive your teammates, invest in the medical tree. If you prefer to provide distanced support, build up your sniper skill set. Feel like decimating vehicles or battle installments like AA-guns or repairing crucial assets for defense? Want to dabble in a little here, a little there? MAG allows you to do all of that and more in giant battlefields where teamwork plays a bigger role than ever before. To help with that element, the game also features leadership positions to help guide the fight. These leaders provide vital perks to those around you and can call in powerful strikes that dramatically alter the tide of battle. Multiple insertion points via hard spawns, APCs, Helo drops, and parachute provide access to strategic areas. If youre looking for a game where teamwork shines at the same level of your individual achievements then MAG is your final destination.
The Shadow War:
The year is 2025. The optimism and harmony of the 2010s were completely eradicated by 2020. A global crisis loomed. Food shortage sparked riots, currencies plummeted, fuel reserves dwindled, and oil producing nations began to ration what remained. Its a dark future.
After riots stopped a nuclear war, the governments call off their petty wars. However, with governments still needing to carve out their interests but remain peaceful in the eyes of their citizens, a thriving market for professional soldiers emerged. These soldiers operate under no nations flag, but are used by the worlds powers to protect their foreign interests. The Shadow War is the secret conflict waged by the big three PMCs. They strike out against one another in unofficial battles fought out of the knowledge of the general public.
Soldiers without a country, the contractors fight wars that never happened. This is the nature of the Shadow War.
The PMCs:
Raven Based in Vienna Austria, is a PMC on the cutting edge of technology. They feature some of the most high-tech weapons available, their gear is highly modernized, but they are lacking in real-life experience. Most of their training was done via VR simulations. Despite their lack of on-the-ground experience they know what it takes to get the job done.
Valor Founded by former US Army officers and headquartered in the Alaskan wilderness, this PMC is based on tried and true principles. Their gear and weaponry was considered standard in the Third World War and is more that effective. They draw extensive first-hand combat experience from their ranks of former U.S., British, and Mexican Special Forces.
SVER Based out of Grozny in the Chechen Republic, their gear and weaponry may be dated, but its proven its lethality over decades of use. Theyre out for an adrenaline rush as well as getting paid of course, and consist of former soldiers as well as private citizens, some with rumored criminal backgrounds, who felt lost before joining SVERs cause. Though disorganized at first glance, they have some of the better implemented defenses in map lay outs to make up for their lack of cutting edge equipment.
Character Progression/Skill Tree:
MAG offers an unparalleled level of fine tuning for your soldier. Instead of relying on a rigid class system, MAG allows players to define their characters specialty with skill points. Each time you earn a level you gain a skill point which is used to unlock additional abilities, weapons and gear in the Skill Tree. The Tree includes unlocks such as the Resuscitation ability to Rez your teammates, more powerful weapons, optics, quicker reloads, acoustic locators and gas grenades, but the list goes on and on. These unlocks help you tune your character to your preferred gameplay style. If you have any MMO experience, and you love shooters, youll appreciate this aspect greatly.
Another feature MMO fans should recognize is Respec. For those not familiar, it allows you to reset your characters skill trees to zero (your performance stats remain), but you have all your prior skill points available to place them anyway you choose. If you find youre not liking your role, youre just one click away from a clean slate. One catch to this though. Not unlike MMOs theres a fee to pay here, just its not gold, but rather you earn respect points as you play. Each time you respec, the cost to do it goes up though, so you may want to be careful when doing this. Make sure its something you want to do for sure.
Here's a well done site to check out the "skill trees":
http://www.maggametools.com/skills
Leadership/Chain of Command:
Once a player reaches level 15 they gain the ability to lead their teammates in battle. After opting in for leadership, your skill in guiding your teammates is tracked by leadership points which are accumulated by calling in successful strikes, winning battles and players following your orders. Once youve gathered enough leadership points youll be able to opt in for Platoon Leader, and Officer in Charge positions.
Each leadership level carries unique strikes and Leadership Auras. Some of these strikes include Gas Bombardments, Strafing Runs, UAVs and Cluster Bombs to help turn the tide of battle. But it doesnt just stop there; you also get powerful abilities that affect your whole squad: Leadership Auras. When your teammates are within a certain radius of you they get further enhancements to their combat readiness. Faster reloads, movement, increased stealth, regenerating health, are some of the very-powerful perks at your disposal.
Frago System:
Simple and intuitive, this system is at your disposal when youre in the squad leader role. You mark or Frago an objective which alters the primary objective for your squad. To help encourage squad mates to follow your orders, bonus XP is awarded for not only completing the objective but taking any actions in its vicinity including kills, revives, heals, etc. It adds up really fast, so players who want to quickly advance their character should follow orders and work as a team to achieve their objectives!
Overview of features:
- 64, 128, and 256 player team based FPS battles.
- Persistent battles where contracts are awarded to the best performing PMCs granting them additional perks and buffs.
- Character leveling and progression trees similar to other MMOs allowing you to custom tune your soldier to your desired play style / role.
- Leadership roles for eligible players, granting perks to your teammates as well as devastating special abilities that can swing the tide of the battle.

First DLC Update:
Interdiction will be the first major DLC update to MAG. While there maybe more details we still don't have yet, here's what we know so far:
- 3 New maps
- 1 New gameplay mode: Interdiction which is a "control point" mode where each PMC in the battle spawns at one end of the map, along with 8 APCs to serve as your only mobile spawn points. So, not only must your team go offensive and defensive on the control points, but also the APCs which will be critical for respawns in the fight opposed to the run back to the fight. As you control one of 3 points, you drain the enemy resource bar to win.
- Interdiction is a 128-player mode, so, 64v64p.
- New trophies and ribbons to earn
- New "Improved Heavy Armor" available
Price of this pretty good sized DLC is $9.99, to be launched on June 22nd.

New "massive" patch/dlc info:
MAG Goes Greatest Hits! Yep, it's much cheaper, and it hit right when Patch 2.0 was released for some great timing. Any fence sitters, nows the time to grab it!
MAG Patch 2.0 - Live as of, well, today!
In a stealthy manner, Zipper released what's basically MAG 2.0, not just a patch 2.0. Yes, the changes were that dramatic. Skill trees totally revamped, new skill and abilities, new way to purchase weapons/gear/accessories, the list goes on and on. Check out the changes for yourself, which also includes Move support.
Oh hi, BTW, scope/zoom is L1 with move, a button above the trigger apparently.
http://blog.mag.com/blog/2010/09/patch-alert-mag-2-0/
So what's next for Zipper? Well, they're continuing to support the already best supported shooter this gen with you guessed it, another game mode. Most signs point to pay for DLC, this mode pits all 3 PMCs against each other in fast-sweeping control point style battles. More info to come!
