MAG Beta Starts Today
Posted in Playstation 3 on January 5th, 2010 by Pirata Nervo

MAG – Massive Action Game PS3 Beta officially starts today!

You may have downloaded it already but in case you didn’t, you can still do it.

If you haven’t yet downloaded MAG, you can do so by following these steps:

  • Log on to the PlayStation Store, Select “View All By Title -> M Titles -> MAG” and download the MAG Beta file like you would any other freely-available PSN video or demo (298 MB)
  • Launch the MAG Beta program from your XMB to download a special patch that will restart MAG once the update has been received (another 37 MB)
  • After the reboot, the Beta will reconnect and download the actual game data so that you can play (1.8 GB – 2.3 GB depending on your region)

You just need a Playstation 3 and an internet connection to start playing!
The beta has two game modes: 64-player sabotage and 256-player domination.

The beta will end on January 10. Enjoy!

Pirata Nervo Says:

Because it’s a Massive Multiplayer Game, can you imagine playing a 256 players fps game?

M33 User Says:

Yeah it should be awesome. Are the maps huge?

hockeyhead019 Says:

i would hope so… 64 players is a ton but 256? that map must be huge… this game would be crazy fun online haha like a full game would be insane i wonder if it would be too much stress on the systems?

Pirata Nervo Says:

I’ll buy it right after it’s been released :)

ExBu Says:

And most of the modes don’t come with it! Imagine how big the actual game is

hockeyhead019 Says:

damn thats nuts how many modes does the actual game have? does anybody know?

Pirata Nervo Says:

Found this at gamespot:
• Domination (256 players)

- Attackers start scattered along the map edges and move on foot or ride in one of a few transport vehicles

- Defenders must take outer defensive positions to meet the oncoming attackers

- Each defending squad is responsible for holding specific areas of the base

- Attackers must eliminate front line defense emplacements (bunkers, turrets, tank traps)

- Once in the inner base, attackers must take down anti-aircraft batteries and radar sensors

- Destroying things like the anti-aircraft batteries allow the attacking team to launch UAVs

- Attackers must capture and hold objectives and inflict enough damage to the defenders base to win

• Acquisition (128 players)

- Escort style requiring attackers to steal two protoype transports from a rival faction and escape to the extraction poin

• Sabotage (64 players)

- Attackers must infiltrate rival communication facilities and hold two control points at the same time

- Once achieved, a final demolition objective is revealed and must be destroyed to win

• Suppression (64 players)

- Pure infantry battle

- Only mode that does not contribute to the “Shadow War”

hockeyhead019 Says:

this game looks nuts haha just went to it’s “official site” and the trailer looked pretty sweet… i might pre order this one… how’s the gameplay?

like is it as sweet as it looks like or just another attempt at a massive multi-player game gone bad?

LDrago Says:

Omg yeah the Maps are huge.

While Playing with my friend with trying crossing from one end of the map to the opposite end. We get Killed too easily. I’m like cover me dammit. We got pretty close in Sabotage.

Pirata Nervo Says:

I want to try the 128×128 modes :P

M33 User Says:

I guess I’d have to try this one day. Seems to be really fun and full of online goodies.

hockeyhead019 Says:

pre-ordered haha… everything i’ve seen/read says this is gonna be crazy fun haha 128×128… it speaks for itself haha

Pirata Nervo Says:

Yeah, that’s almost like playing a real war – without really dying

hockeyhead019 Says:

i think that’s what the goal was… it’ll be interesting to see how well the command structure actually works… from what it seems it would only benefit you to listen to your CO’s but i think it’ll be interesting to see if there are any GOOD CO’s haha

Pirata Nervo Says:

What’s a CO?

hockeyhead019 Says:

sorry… CO = commanding officer… so the squad leaders, platoon leaders and then the OIC (officer in charge) who head the whole group on the map

Pirata Nervo Says:

Oh yeah, would be great to become one, that’s what I find very cool in this game

hockeyhead019 Says:

idk if it’d be great haha… it’d be great if you had a good squad under you… if you have a bunch of noobs then it would be rough haha

hockeyhead019 Says:
