Well, it looks liek it’s that time of year again. You know, the time when great titles are release. Yep, talking about that massive action game, a.k.a. MAG. Every since the title was announced it has been on every gamer’s mind. It is the only game, so far, that can have simultaneously 256 players in one match.
Recently, a developer from Zipper posted some details about the differences on the Playstation Blog:
First, let’s talk about the differences between the final game and the beta you tried out a few weeks ago – the most obvious of which is the mode and map count. Whereas before, the Beta version of MAG only offered six maps and two modes, the retail version has a full five modes with 15 maps to play. The final game also includes a handy offline training mode, unique armors, new cinematics, art galleries, trophies, and the always-popular Veteran Mode that lets you start all over again with a permanent XP bonus and the ability to switch your faction after hitting the level cap. Of course, graphical and audio improvements are in there too.
But our “out of the box” distinctions aren’t all there is to talk about. We’ve also addressed a number of topics that were brought to our attention when you were testing MAG earlier this month, and will deliver them to you the moment you boot MAG up with a small in-game patch (roughly 60-80 MB depending on your region).
Among these upgrades is the oft-asked-for ability to knife an enemy while you’re reloading your weapon — in addition to a pretty significant framerate increase during player-heavy games and noticeable differences in the effectiveness of every weapon and piece of armor. Moreover, we’ve gone back and added all-new light settings for every environment and increased the amount of time you can sprint before getting tired.
For a full catalog of additions, fixes and tweaks, check out our complete list of patch notes on the MAG blog.
Here is the lastest trailer for the game:
