Good Job Zipper

V1.06 = Success!

I used to be a bit of a Light Machine Gun whore on MAG, i figured its the way to go as it was pretty acurate and you get a 100 bullet clip (depending on which PMC your on) but the 1.06 update changed that (which is a good thing) the LMG’s are now a lot less acurate but does this pack a punch.

Since the 1.06 patch was released i have to say im very happy with it so far. The assault rifle is my new weapon of choice as its accurate and now has a little more killing power as before the patch you would pretty much have to unload an entire clip into someone to get a kill. Which means you see alot less people running round with LMG’s (Very good Zipper)

Ive noticed the shotgun seems to be pretty deadly. The patch has made all short range weapons very powerfull up close but with a little distance and they’re useless. This goes for the pistol, Shotgun and SMG aswell.

Also the 3 added gun turrets to the APC’s are a welcomed addition although i have not yet managed to get together with my clan to fully test out this feature thanks to us all being split up due to us going to VALOR at the last double XP weekend and then it was someone’s bright idea to go to Raven which is where im currently stuck trying to rank up to veteran back to my clans home on SVER.

DING! Platinum

Another nice surprise in the 1.06 patch was the platinum trophy i finally got due to the patch lowering the amount of things you need to do to get the medals although i do think they lowered the medal requirements a little too much but i guess this does make the platinum seem a lot more obtainable maybe making the masses play more often.

Now, all this change right now has made MAG more of a joy to play but the serious joy is still to come. On June 22nd Zipper are releasing their first Paid DLC which will add 3 new maps and a new game mode which will consist of 2 x 126 players fighting over 3 control points with 16 APC’s (one APC for each squad)

Check this out

The Interdiction DLC will be $9.99 which i estimate that to transalate to approx £7.50
and will be released on June 22nd

MAG v1.06

Coming June 8th  :)

WOW i never saw that before. Theres literally NO ONE playing ... on Twitpic

Yes! been waiting for this one. A friend of mine finally got MAG about a week ago and he play’s late at night (till about 4am PST) and so as i was awake (12 noon GMT)  i saw him on and thought i’d join and maybe show him the ropes a little but to my supprise there were zero  People playing Domination or Aquisition which in all the 400 hours + ive played MAG i have never seen. There were still plenty people playing Sabotage but i look at Sabotage as just a practise game and enjoy playing the other 2 games a hell of alot more.

Later on that day i saw people return to Dom and Aq but not the numbers MAG once had. I find this pretty sad, i guess alot of people get a PS3 and get MAG cause it’s the best shooter out there but then die a few hundred times and give up to go n play MW2 or something and that’s sad. You need to put some time into MAG to really understand what its all about or i guess just have 7 friends online (obviously with mic‘s) to form your squad and then you can go n kick some ass. It’s ALL! about communication in MAG so if you want to play it and you aint got a mic you should go out and get one.

Also i think with a few big games coming out i guess alot of people are taking a break BUT!….. Great news has arrived.

The MAG patch v1.06 will be released This Thursday June 8th at 1am PSt  4am EST and 8am GMT and will change the game a little and my guess is it will bring back a hell of alot of MAG gamers. On top of that more patch’s are on the way which will soon lead up to either a new game mode or maybe even a new game mode on a new map, we’re not quite sure what we’re getting yet but we just know its coming and i can’t wait.

For a list of features coming in the v1.06 please click here

COD MW2 1.06 Update

IW’s biggest title of all time has just received an
update. Yes that’s right 1.06 is here!

This update focused on fixing glitches. Such as the very annoying javelin glitch, Infinite care package glitch, Elevators, GEO glitches such as the Rock, and of course some match making issues that throws you  in to a private match.
However there are still some things that this patch did not fix, such as party being spit up, and the speed glitch.

These things will most likely be fixed in 1.07.  We will keep you updated
