It looks like Sony will be shutting down the servers for MAG and SOCOM according to the following post on the PlayStation Twitter account.

Advisory: Online multiplayer services for MAG, SOCOM Confrontation, and SOCOM 4 will be ending on 01/28/14

Not surprising as these games have been around for quite a while. I feel bad for SOCOM 4 which launched the day before the Great PSN outage of 2011. It was never able to get back the traction that other SOCOM titles had during the PS2 era.

Zipper Interactive, the creator behind both games, was shut down by Sony in March of 2011.

People still playing will have until January 28 2014, and I am sure that this will attract some people back to the game prior to the servers shutting down.
