MAG Strategic Overhead Maps
Posted by Jay in MAG - Massive Action Game on April 13th, 2010
After numerous requests, the MAG team has decided to release birds-eye views of all the maps in the game for strategizing, etc. They’re, as they call it, “ultra high-res”, and there’s a map for “each Suppression, Sabotage, Acquisition, and Domination map that MAG has to offer.”
Above I have included a part of image for the map, “Copper Hills Relay”, scaled down to 25% it’s original size (they are huge files).
You can get the rest here. I’ll also build a zip and see if Tosh will host it so you guys can get all of them in one convenient package 
. Alright folks, here’s the ZIP. It’s 85MB in size.

Posted by Trev in MAG - Massive Action Game on March 18th, 2010
The Trooper Gear Pack is the first DLC to be released for MAG on March 25th, it will be priced at 0.00 it will also coincide with double XP next weekend. Here’s some details of the DLC;
- Flashbang Grenade
- New special edition Light Machine Guns for each PMC
- Two additional uniforms – “Trooper Dark” and “Trooper Light”
Unfortunately there’s no new maps which is what I really want from MAG at the moment but the double XP is more than welcome. If you haven’t got MAG, why not check out our review? Full details on the DLC after the jump.

MAG Patched to v1.03
Posted by Trev in MAG - Massive Action Game, PS3 on February 27th, 2010
A massive patch has been released for MAG which looks to fix some balancing issues and allow you to swap weapons quicker by 500 milliseconds(!). A full list of changes below;
Patch v1.03 Available Now
Gameplay
Overhauled tuning of multiple weapons of all types (see “Weapon” section below)
Improved speed of weapon and gear swapping by approximately 500 milliseconds.
Fixed bug in SVER’s Aralkum Mechanical Acquisition map and Absheron Refinery Domination map that allowed players to defuse a charge planted on a repaired gate or door.
Added a “solid tone” sound effect near the end of a charge’s beeping detonation timer so that players know when the charge can no longer be defused and that they should vacate the area.
“Medium Improved” Armor now works as intended with the speed properties of Medium Armor and a defensive value greater than Medium, but less than Heavy Armor.
Changed resuscitated player’s camera orientation to match the last camera direction used while incapacitated instead of the pre-harm camera.
Players no longer lose XP if a teammate is killed by an objective explosion caused by a charge they planted.
Respec Point requirements in Barracks have been changed from 3K, 5K, 10K, 17K, 26K, and 26K-Repeat to 1K, 2K, 3K, and 3K-Repeat.
Lowered the amount of damage necessary to kill an incapacitated enemy.
All fired projectiles (RPGs, Turret Rockets) have been given a steadier aim.
Mines that haven’t been triggered are no longer removed from the map when the dead player that deploys them respawns unless that player changes their Loadout (note: The maximum number of mines you can plant cannot exceed the number you initially spawn with).
Fixed bug that prevented “fully-resuscitated” players with more than 100 health points from receiving their full HP.
Fixed bug that caused players to take unnecessary damage from both friendly and enemy vehicles when touching them.
Players no longer lose leadership points after entering “Veteran Mode.”
