MAG (PS3)

[Shojin]

Patch broke the game. Getting tons of 5:5 errors and when you get revived after being killed while disarming bombs or repairing your system freezes. And sometimes when you get revived, you stay on the ground.

Haven't tried out the patch yet myself, but that doesn't sound good. Just you or everyone experiencing it?

That's cool that the pre-order armor is free now. I haven't been on a lot since I just got White Knight Chronicles and don't wanna put that down, but I've been trying to balance the two. lol

Quick question for you guys: I looked and I'm not sure, but is there some way to get rid of the kills scrolling? When I'm sniping, the really long names can interfere when they cross into my vision and it's kind of annoying.

It's a lot of people going by gamefaqs and MAG's forums.

I believe they ninja fixed the crashing/freezing issue after being rez'ed at defuse/plant. though it looks like more people are having a problem with being revived in to an object/outside the map. annooooying

[Hiryo]

Only thing im getting is sometimes i'll throw my first gas grenade and be unable to throw my second, even after changing weapons. Not really sure what fixes it either, refueling didnt work, dying does, but sometimes if i wait 5 minutes it will work ::shrug::

Also i FINALLY got to level 60(seems like i was the last person on BG lol). Staying on SVER until some more notable people change over. Not that i dont mind going with Logain or Biddinger, i just know theres omre people still in sver

Oh i also got OIC, havent used it yet though.

[Krazy]

I still haven't hit 60, only 55 or 56 at the moment.

[Hushigoshi]

And I'm only 35 or 36 still

[Biddinger]

Booo...looks like my group is veting over to sver this week sometime

[Dmitry]

Which PMC are you in?

You can't blame them though, everyone likes the taste of victory

[Shojin]

Looks like if you suck at a game and complain enough, eventually something will be done about it.

lol gotta love this game with changing stuff

[Shojin]

thats SVER defending Sabotage?

Yup. lol

[Biddinger]

unnecessary.

[zoobernut]

Unnecessary yes. Will it ruin the game? No. Buncha whiny brats play this game and post on their forums. Zipper as a company is updating this game very rapidly and doing a great job. Most companies don't update or tweak their game this rapidly.

Vetted to Raven. They're so god damned terrible my level nothing is coming in 3rd+ every game. Eight games played and not one person has said a word. I should have 60 back in like a year.

WHY ARE PEOPLE VETTING TO RAVEN WHEN THEY ARE SO BAD

First MAG DLC hitting next week and it's freeeeeeeeeeeeee.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/...g-next-week-2/

On behalf of everyone here at Zipper Interactive, I’m pleased to announce that beginning March 25, our first official MAG downloadable add-on will be made available to players worldwide absolutely free of charge!

Dubbed the “Trooper Gear Pack,” our first DLC addition to the MAG universe will offer a number of cool goodies for veterans and first timers alike. Out of everything in the pack, the most popular will likely be the oft-requested “Flashbang Grenade” that can be used to confuse, disorient or distract your enemies in a single throw.

Of course, there’s more to the Trooper Gear Pack than Flashbangs. We’ll also be including new special edition Light Machine Guns for each PMC. Raven’s APEX 100SE, SVER’s RTK-74 Vla, and Valor’s Mk 46 Mod 1 weapons will provide both a new look for your favorite LMGs and a number of performance adjustments as well.

The last element of the pack will be two additional uniforms – “Trooper Dark” and “Trooper Light.” Available to all three PMCs, these uniforms are specifically designed for urban and interior combat situations and give you two more aesthetic options to diversify your character with.

The best part of the Trooper Gear Pack? It’s just the beginning of our ongoing commitment to MAG. In the coming months, you can expect to see plenty of other add-ons and goodies that we can’t quite tell you about yet (but know you’ll enjoy).

But that’s not all. To commemorate the release of our DLC, we want to throw in a little extra. And so, as a thank you to all of our fans, we’re offering Double XP to any and all MAG players starting March 25. Simply log in at 12am Pacific/ 3am Eastern/ 8am GMT and play MAG as you normally would. Every time you complete a game your experience doubles, and yes, this bonus stacks for Veterans who already have an XP bonus to begin with! Just make sure you actually complete the games you play – if you quit early, your bonus won’t apply.

Expect the Double XP promotion to run until 11:59pm Pacific time on Sunday, March 28. Be sure to take advantage of it as much as you possibly can until then.

For more MAG-related news, don’t forget to visit the Official MAG Blog on a regular basis, or check out our Official Zipper Interactive Twitter and Facebook pages. Enjoy your weekend everybody!

Flashbangs introduced, 3 new LMG's one for each faction. And new skins. Pics in the link.
