MAG '2.0' due within a month; adds Move support, weapon purchases and more

I'm am surprised they are still supporting this so much. I'm assuming the community is still strong?

Did i beat ezio? YES!!!

Hopefully Balance for all 3 Factions will be added.

What about the ability to play on other teams maps that was teased earlier?

"Additionally, the update will institute an in-game economy where match winnings can be used to buy new weapons and gear from a "Supply Depot.""
Phew! The "weapon purchases" part of the title had me scared until I read that.

Thank God they haven't gone all EA on us yet.

I dunno, I played this game a bit with my friends and didn't think too much of it at all. I just thought it was a big shooter and that was it, but...

the feeling of running up a hill after spawning and seeing a hangar come into view and seeing your enemies parachuting from the skies is amazing, but then that feeling is ramped up 50 times when all you see is bullets leaving the hangar and destroying the other team. Literally masses of bullets.

That in itself is so awesome

Sounds good!

I recently got back in to MAG and for some reason doing much better. The community is still pretty strong as well. Plus playing Happy Hour along with Directives gives you triple XP (quadruple with Frago points) so I'm shooting through the ranks.

I wish this was a PC game :(

Or that it supported mouse and keyboard.

It just seems so wasted on a console.

Sounds interesting, I do believe that MAG is enjoyable, but it takes some getting used to. Some aspects could be added from the likes of games like battlefield or example that would make it awesome. None of the storyline bs for no reason, just hardcore shooting action with all the original opportunities of other shooters.

Guess i should finally go get Reach and beat it before this comes out.

Have there been any demo vids for the move support yet? i.e. have we seen it in action yet?

What idiot would use a Wiimote with a shooter?

Got my move controller today, went to log into the MAG beta right now and they have updated it again (now on ver 1.04).. 725.78 MB download and only 10% done after 10 minutes (eff this shit) ... While I wait for the download to complete , heres some info about move:

its definitely accurate I was throwing some fast punches in beat sketcher and I couldn't lose the pointer, which is quite impressive. Beat Sketcher is awesome. The controller is really nice to hold the ball at the top is soft rubber when certain games load it starts changing colour and it looks awesome / freaky (tumble and sports champions both do this)

The sports champions table tennis demo didn't leave me impressed. Getting the full game delivered tomorrow, will see if its just the demo. Also playing using a projector and a weird set up, with not much side to side space. Will need to give it a better more open test to see if its just me , but I hate the serving aspect of it already. I used to play table tennis when I was younger, so yeah not what I was expecting from what I read from the majority of the reviews.. It needs arm space you need a wide room to play the game properly.

You will need space to play the sports champions games and start the party.. In fact start the party demo is surprisingly fun, a 10 buck psn download yeah it would be worth it, full bluray game (i know move games are cheaper, but still) ?.. I wont be getting it.

I had a weird glitch with the controller syncing, tumble did the alignment crap but I couldn't control the thing for sh!t, the pointer was bouncing all over the place.. Not sure what caused it but it was freaky, even a ps3 restart didn't solve it and the same issue in sports champions.. Thought I might have just received a dodgy controller (it worked perfectly in the echochrome and beat sketcher demos though), but very surprisingly turning my room lights on fixed it and then turning them back off the controller was still fine.. No idea wtf happened, still confused about it, but whatever it was it hasn't happened again (low battery ? projector ? Sun Setting ? Not sure it was effed up)

The main difference with the Wii, that I have noticed so far ? On the wii the cursor tends to wobble its twitchy, the move is just solid like your holding a pen and standing right next to the wall..

Beat Sketcher really has impressed me, really shows the accuracy I was standing there painting some random crap with the beats kicking in and its just the drawing aspect of it.. If anyone has used the Wacom pen tablet, imagine using that but on a wall, thats kind of how accurate it felt seriously, the thing I didnt like was having to use the move button instead of the trigger for drawing. If your getting the move definitely download the demo and mess around with it, while your messing around move your hand further and closer while drawing a line it looks freaky because it follows you precisely in z, but as soon as you go to draw the next line that perspective completely disappears into the 2d webcam image

-- Mag update 90% complete at last, writing crap on a games site sometimes helps to maintain sanity :) ..

So could they be re-releasing MAG as MAG 2.0 and that's what was listed on Walmart.com the other day?

Move support? What a shitting waste of developer time.

I really hope that the support for SOCOM IV equals this game. Zipper dicked the fans around way too much with their past games. But I am glad to see that they are stepping it up, support wise.

People still play this game? :/

I wasn't planning on buying Move till next year but this seems like an interesting way to try it and not feeling like an improved Wii, so... next year, this year, im gonna use that money for move anyway

Move.... Eh.........................

Hell yes for the update thou. MAG ftw. Best FPS ever.
