MAG Guide

Hi, All-

Here is some more info that the Zipper team is making available to you. Hope you are all having fun!



Barracks: Unlocking Skills and Items



Newly created characters start off with a limited number of weapons, attachments, and gear items available to them. With each new level, you are awarded a skill point which enables you to unlock various items and skills in the Barracks area of the Main Menu.



Skills take 1 point to unlock, weapon attachments and gear items take 2, and weapons take 3 points.

Yesterday's Sony E3 press conference was chock-full of games, from Infamous 2 and Killzone 3 to Twisted Metal and myriad Move titles. But two games Sony fans were anticipating more information about were conspicuously missing from the roster. Both Resistance 3 and The Last Guardian weren't even mentioned in passing, begging the question: What are the statuses of these games?

Resistance 3 hasn't been formally announced by either publisher Sony or developer Insomniac, but we've been...

The humvee is a very deadly weapon. It should be used and protected every game.

When a match first starts one if not two should be brought up the bunker. Then park them where they cannot be hit by RPG`s or direct fire.

Make sure everyone has repair kits because you can get alot of XP points for repairing the humvee when damaged.

While driving if you run over 5 people you will get a Road Rage medal.

In Acquistion, the humvee should be parked directly in front...

Zipper isn't planning on stopping all the support they're giving to MAG anytime soon. The developers have a number of new content coming down the line, most of which will all be free.
One of the biggest requests from the community is for the ability to have all three factions fight on one map and Zipper plans to deliver that later this year. That DLC will be out closer to the end of Summer, early Fall but you can expect a number of other updates before then.
For starters, one of the new features will be "Clan...

I've been looking to build F2F a database of strategies to use on each of the individual maps (highlighting approach routes, areas to break through defenses, saboteur's routes, etc) and I was wondering if anyone had seen any birds-eye view maps for me to use. I'd also love all the input I can get for this rather substantial project, so if anyone is interested in lending me some of their favorite strategies for each map, I'd love to hear them out.

Thanks a bunch guys.

1) The first AR (ATAC 2000) upgrade comes equipped with a foregrip.
Soo, unless you're looking to get the 553, don't buy the foregrip

2) The SMG comes equipped with a reflex scope, furthermore, the reflex scope seems pointless for the shotgun.

That's all I have found so far...

Okay guys, being a curious pointwasting idiot, I've managed to aquire everything in the Electronics Field.

Heres a breif rundown of each item and its in game usefulness.



Tier 1: Acustic Sound Detector(Or Whatever its called)---Allows you to detect better where fire is coming from.

Pros: Excellent for Defense as enemies will sometimes show up on the minimap when firing. Also serves as a great early warning for heavy machinegun bipoders and snipers.

Cons: In a hectic situation your detector will pretty much **bleep** bricks.

Usefulness(1-5):...

Though we’re still several weeks away from its release, we thought it prudent to give everyone a head’s up on what we’re working towards for our next MAG patch – and it’s a big one!

Slated for sometime next month, MAG v1.06 will add a number of requested new features to the game that should please fans regardless of their play style. Not only have we made it much harder to accidentally kill fellow teammates, for example, we’ve also expanded the Medical Kit’s functionality to give users total control over who they heal (allies or themselves),...

MAG Interdiction DLC on June 22
posted by Jeremy Dunham, June 8, 2010 10:00 am
It’s been just over four and a half months since MAG released worldwide and 930,000 battles, 1.7 million players, and 1.1 billion kills later, the time to expand is now.

Yes friends, everyone here at Zipper Interactive is proud to announce that beginning June 22, our first expansion pack, dubbed “Interdiction,” will be available to players all over the world for $9.99 US (prices in other regions may vary).

“But what’s in it,” you say? Well, for starters,...

Hi Guys

I know there has been some talk of people from F2F Raven about vetting over to other PMC's, and thought how cool it would be to start up F2F clans in all PMC's.

I personally like the idea of vetting over to valour (when I eventually get to level 60 that is). I just really want to if their aquisition map is that hard to defend.

To do it properly though I think it will take a little bit of planning.

I thought it would be nice to have the clans running permanently in all 3 pmc's so people can vet when they want to and still play under the F2F clan,...

First I will start off saying how much I love these tools.
:Squad leader (defending)
1. Mortar Barrage, Fires a volley of high explosive mortar shells, effective against soft targets.
2. Guided Artillery, Delivers a salvo of sensor fused, anti-vehicle mortar shells to the targeted location.

1. Cluster Bomb, Requests a UAV to drop a high explosive cluster...

Officer in charge ]OIC] Domination game mode only

:OIC ( defending ) Strategic Maneuvers
1. Satellite Sweep, Calls in satellite surveillance, revealing all enemy locations on the map.
2. Signals Jamming, Jams enemy command network, blocking enemy TCM and CNI abilities.
3. Rapid Redeploy, Decreases friendly forces` respawn times.
4. Tactical Strike, Refreshes all friendly force tactical strike cool down times.

I seen this link on MAG.com today. It looks like Zipper is getting ready to release DC. After reading it briefly, it sounds pretty decent.

Let me know what you guys think!

I like them all really i don't really have a fav but if i had to choose it would be Acquisition Cause that mode is the greatest ever put in MAG

can one my clan members please explain a step by step procedure on how to call in air , motars,and artellery stikes? I tried calling in my strikes before, but i was not sure if my strikes went thru.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to update everyone on F2F in MAG. I am so pleased on how the clan is growing and getting along.

We are currently 65 members strong. There are 20 officers in F2F on MAG as well. 17 members from RFOM F2F are with us in MAG.

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...

As many of you already know I as in SVER and now in Raven .So I was wonder who else wants to try it out .Personaly I feel you should play as all three .You'll be missing out a large part of the game for what it has to offer .Now don't think I am trying to get to leave the clan or Raven you can always come back .If anything try it them out on another account .What I would like to see is everyone go together to another PMC but I know some of you guys are hardcore Raven fans .I was just thinking it would be good that we all could play all 3 PMC's together learn tactics of all the PMC .After I reach...

Hi everyone, I received SVER with my preorder, anyway, I heard someone say there was a good forum for trading preorder keys & was hoping to get that link.

MAG hits store shelves in less than five days, and right about now, you might be wondering which of the game’s three factions you’re best suited for…

P.R.O. will figure it out for you.

Located at JoinTheShadowWar.com, the world’s best “Private Recruitment Operation” is an awesome new conscription service that analyzes your battlefield decision making, personal philosophy, and other important soldiering attributes to determine which PMC (Raven, S.V.E.R., or Valor) you were born to serve.




Creating your squad...

Just seen the trophy list for MAG. the trophies look good and fun to obtain. theres only one problem:

the gold trophies state that you need to get lvl 60 character in raven sver and valor. this means u need to change PMC to get the platinum tropy. this is a major flaw i think, since the game is about loyalty and teamwork

Hi!

I saw your membersearch post on ps3 eu community about MAG. Im from Sweden and i am level 20 atm. Im 20 years old and i really want to play some MAG with you guys, the game kinda sucks when there's no teamplay. My ingame name on PSN is cLappZz.

CU!

Ok I will post a link for you guys to check out. The results of the beta are in along with the box art for MAG. http://forums.mag.com/mag/board/message?board.id=blogdiscussion&thread.id=223
Check it out and post your comments. I am very proud of the results because F2F played a big role in MAG.

Last Friday, as we said “goodbye” to our friends and foes in the MAG public beta, we also said “hello” to several new and exciting community additions to the MAG universe. After all, with our game being as socially-driven as it is, it makes perfect sense for us to extend its reach into the world’s most popular social networking site, Facebook, and that’s exactly what we’ve done.

Of course, MAG is a pretty big game, which means you’ll be able to find it in a number of different destinations once you’ve logged onto Facebook proper.

The MAG Beta officially ended last night at 12:00 am. I have to admit I am a little sad about this but life goes on.
So now it is time to study our options and truly decide where the clan will go from here. What PMC to choose and do we assign leaders.
I will in fact need some input on some of these questions. I had sent PSN messages to the remaining clan members from the Bea.
I see a couple of them has signed up.
So I welcome you guys to the forums and I need help in getting some input on our stratigies and so on.

I have to say, I am liking the quick & expanded knife swipe + F90.

They're really helping me blitzkreig. Since the F90 has 50 rounds, I can pump more rounds out before reloading, plus, I am running straight toward the enemy which conveniently brings me in for a knife swipe.

I am curious if the Machine Gun upgrades would have been more useful than the F90 though.

So, what is working for you guys?

Anyone wanting a custom signature for you posts just pm me and I will gladly help you out.

Guys, some of you might not be aware of a new clan member`s surgery. He was awaiting a transplant when I met him in the MAG Beta. Last week he recieved a call at 3:00 am that a donor was found.
After talking to Torture_77, he made me aware of all this. Apparently the surgery was a success and he is now recovering in his own room. I was told he misses the Beta and says hello to everyone.
His psn id is BLooD1_HounD. If you guys get time send him a message through the PSN and I`m sure he will get it. I will be trying to get him to sign up here. I have played with him and spoken with him...

Here is a quick overview of the Domination game type:



Description
Control of the field of battle is the ultimate goal of a large fighting force, and Domination missions are won by mastering the battlefield.



256 players fight to secure & hold 8 targets, with each target contributing to the main mission objective. With each secure & hold target held by the attacking faction, the mission goal moves faster toward completion...but the defending faction can frustrate the invaders by seizing and holding those targets and bleeding the enemy dry.

Here's some more info from the Zipper team. This time, it's all about gear!




When a character is first created, his choice of gear items is limited. Additional gear is unlocked via the skill unlock system and purchased in the armory before each mission. There is no encumbrance or other negative effects to loading up on gear, so if you’ve got the cash and unlocked what you want, use what you can!



All gear items are either active or passive. Active items must be equipped in your hands to use. Passive items need only be in your inventory...

*Defending; the turrets should be in use at all times. Always I repeat always keep a close eye for damage on the turret.

Use the rockets on attacking vehicles as well as snipers. They are on a timer so they will re-generate.

After the v1.30 update on the beta the turret can be destroyed easier.

Make your squad...
