New MAG gametype and maps coming in 'Interdiction' DLC on June 22

Let's not get this started

For me I played the beta of Mag and it just screamed "generic" to me, even with all it's selling points. Just not my cup of tea.

@Cloud,

You got it wrong. It's MAG> Modern Warfare 2.

You Know its true.

oh here we go.... inb4flamewar

I just started playing MAG. It's fun, but I feel like I don't have much chance against all those level 60 players with far better equipment than me. :(

I'm with you on the multi. If only MAG had a single player offering though.

The reason I stepped from MAG is the severe inbalance in the maps. So neutral maps I like, as long as it is 128 vs 128 peeps, I'm happy.

sounds like a blast but is anybody else getting booted lately since the patch released. I've never been kicked so many time off the server before.

I wonder if they will be account specific like the rest of the download content.

The one trophy is glitched i got kings of the hills already

If MAG had single player, i'd get it. ;p

Hurray I got platinum today!

@Eastman

I like how you told everyone to stop the flame war before it began.

Then poured the gasoline and threw the match.

HaH I got one of the indiction medals already the a trophie the red ball one

I love MAG, I really do, but personally I'm not crazy about having to shell out $10 for 3 maps, for a game which is multiplayer only and already very light on maps. Is this what is gonna happen, charge us $10 per 3 maps, until a $60 game becomes a $100 game to finally get a decent number of maps? Doesn't seem right. It seems like this should have been free, or $5 at the most.

But, it's great that these 3 maps are NEUTRAL which helps avoid the balancing issues. Plus it's a 128 player mode, which I'm glad they came out with more options for 128 games.

But I think having a special heavy armor only available to people who shell out $10 is kind of a cheap maneuver, and will make things even more punishing for new players.

I really don't understand this "It needs a single player mode" before I'll buy it mentality. Sure, it would be nice if it had a 8 - 10 guided single player experience, but compared to the 50+ hours I've put into the game, playing with my friends and enjoying it more than practically any other console multiplayer shooter this generation, I think I'm happy with just a really great multi-player experience.

I hear you about the each time is different thing, but you can say that about a lot of other games with massive map libraries, like Battlefield 2.

Yeah I think that MW2 package was WAY overpriced too, but I don't play it so I can't comment much on it. I'm guessing MW2 also came with a lot more maps out of the box than MAG though.

What single player are you talking about? MAG has no single player other than the lame training. Would be awesome though if MAG allowed a single player vs bots experience like Unreal Tournament type of thing. Maybe it'd even earn you say 1/4 exp so you'd get a chance to unlock some stuff before facing off vs much better equipped and experienced veterans in Suppression maps picking them off from across the map with their high powered sniper rifles, when the noob is 10 feet from their base.

glad they're still supporting this game. but yeah, it's too bad the game didn't support a bots mode like in KZ2 for training purposes. or for those anti-social times when we don't feel like playing with anybody.

This DLC is beyond weak. The new maps are basically reused textures/objects from the current maps that we are all bored of. The new mode is the same as the letter part of Domination.

Oh right, this game exists...I forgot.

Oh i didnt know that thanks

yea its coming out on my 18th birthday AWESOME now i have to get a new ps3 (80 gb got YLOD)

I can't wait This game just isn't for some people; it's more tactical than games like MW2 and BC2. If you don't have a head for strategy (or at least don't like to follow) then you may not like this game. Though some people do; especially a lot of SOCOM fans. If you've never liked FPS all that much; I've heard many say that MAG is one that they like. Most game reviews rate this game on it's quality as a First-Person Shooter; but it's so much more. I think 1UP got it right. The new patch today made this game feel polished and the DLC will definitely breathe new life into it.

If you've been thinking of this game and you're worried it's too late, Don't! Everyone starts somewhere and we need players. Head over to forums.mag.com; it's full of people, like me, who would be more than glad to assist a new person. We had 64 clan members team up last weekend (that's two platoons MAG talk; wish we could have had more, but it's a start), what other console game lets you do this?

For those criticizing map size you must remember that one domination map (theres three of that game type) has a play area about as big as 6+ MW2 maps. It takes a lot of effort to make just one map that huge; and it's a bit arrogant to shrug off the amount of work put into just one map.

MW2's Stimulus was $15 for 4 maps and 2 of those were remakes of COD4:MW1 Maps. Since I still own COD4 that is quite the Rip-Off.

Halo3:ODST was $60 for a 5 Hour Campaign and the Multi-Player was what I already owned with Halo3 + all the Maps I already bought + 3 extras. So Microsoft was basically saying "If Your a Big Fan, We Would like to Give you the Big Shaft"

I personally Love MAG, So I'm buying it. It seems a Typical Price for 3 Maps.
I get tired of the MW / COD Games cause they are Basically Straight up Deathmatch with 8-24 People and Guns... I've been playing that since DOOM people. BORING.

So I Really Like Games like Warhawk, Killzone2, Halo, and MAG.
Give me Co-Op, Give me Split-Screen, Give me Vehichles, Give me 256 Players, Give me Realistic Objectives like take out the AA... I do not want to Capture a stupid Flag... It is just Dumb. At least Disguise it as a Propoganda Speaker or a Brief Case with Intel or Something.
