On the 24th  of this month (August) the new MAG beta client will be freely available on the PlayStation store for all to download (Probably available on the 25th in EU) which will allow everyone who owns MAG to be a part of the next phase in the EPIC game only available on the PS3. The download will be available to everyone but only the people with the MAG disc in their PS3 will be able to play in the beta. Don't worry if you play MAG there will still be lots of players in the original game as the number of new MAG beta players will be capped so if you get a message saying the beta is full you'll just have to try a little later. The beta will only be running for four hours twice a day Monday to Friday. There's about to be a HUGE! amount of new weapons and gameplay coming to MAG as a result of this beta phase and I personally just can't wait to check it out. Also you might want to hold onto your MAG beta client as it will be used again in the future to test the next beta [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-beta-2-incoming/2042/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-double-xp/1647/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-double-xp/1647/#comments Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:00:01 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1647 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-double-xp/1647/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/if-you-own-mag-read-this/1551/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/if-you-own-mag-read-this/1551/#comments Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:02:17 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1551
So the MAG DLC was released in Europe today and when you purchase it from the PSN store you have the option to download 2 DLC's, Both are the same except for the game disc numbers and here's the problem. If your unlucky you might read the number on your game case and download that version but the number on your game disc might be different so either make sure you download both versions (this will make them both available whenever you want in the future from the "downloads" option within the PSN store) or you need to download the version with the number the same as your disc, not your case. My Game Case number is "BCES 00558" but my Game Disc number is "BCES 00818" Not 100% sure if not following my instructions will cause you to have to pay for the download again should you make a mistake but i thought i better write this and help some of you out if this is a problem. Hope i helped and Enjoy the MAG DLC. Ooh and don't forget its MAG double xp weekend this weekend. Double XP starts Friday, June 25 at 12:01am Pacific Time (3:01am Eastern, [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/if-you-own-mag-read-this/1551/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/good-job-zipper/1431/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/good-job-zipper/1431/#comments Wed, 09 Jun 2010 11:00:47 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1431
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 [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/good-job-zipper/1431/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-v1-06-is-here/1429/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-v1-06-is-here/1429/#comments Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:00:41 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1429

Coming June 8th  :) 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 [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-v1-06/1405/feed/ 0
