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

If your in the Uk you can order here

MAG = 91% complete (tips)

Almost done…

  1. Valor   level 60 = DONE
  2. Raven level 60 = DONE
  3. SVER   level 60 =DONE

Before i start a game i usually look at the tophies first and try to plan my platinum gaining stratergy and MAG is no exception. At first glance you notice at the bottem of the list are 4 gold trophies, 3 of which require you to reach top rank (60) on all 3 PMC’s. A few friends i play with alot and myself decided we wanted to play MAG as SVER the hoodie / hockey mask wering terrorist type, so to end up on SVER decided to start on Valor and work through Raven to get to SVER and stay there. As i have now de it to top rank on all 3 PMC’s i thought i share a little info and tips from what i have learned….

Valor

I found Valor was a pretty tight PMC, it seems to me the kind of gamers who choose valor are the kind play shooters alot and know what they’re doing. Communication is pretty good, i’d say approx 60%  use mic’s and team work is great. One thing about Valor though is while playing Domination you have to be carefull when defending F as the enemy can just walk in through the wall to the left of the bottem door/gate. TIP just keep that door sealed and throw copius amounts of nades through the wall hehe. Watch my video  here.

Raven

Raven i think have the coolest gear in the game, all the weapons are smart and seem to be the best in the game the only thing is it seems the kind of gamer who picks Raven are the kind who like to play Mario Bro’s on the NES. Communication is terrible and quite often when your a squad leader you throw the Frago on your next target and  watch your entire squad split up in call of duty mode and run off on their own trying to get kills for their kill streak package. No offense anyone but they suck balls. BIG TIME worst PMC in the game  as far as the players go. One thing Raven do excell in though is Aquisition. Their map seems perfect for defending if your on Raven you wanna check out the Damopointy Road Block.

 
SVER
 It’s hard to loose a game with SVER. They dominate on Domination but they’re not unbeatable. Their gear looks cool with their jason facemasks and weapons all taped up with duct tape. Every body seems to all work as a team very well alot of people have mics and there is no shortage of medics constantly picking people up, and even healing people before they even dropped to the ground. It’s almost hard to die on SVER thanks to that and this is a tip to all MAGers.
 
General MAG tips
 
 Keep healing your team. If your all in a tight spot with alot of both teams around shoot and heal, shoot and heal. It’s so much easier to be rescusitated than to run all the way back from your spawn point.

Stick together, you gain extra abilities if your near your squad leader, platoon leader and OIC. If your an OIC you automaticlly fix any vehicle or bunker your in so use that ability to help your team.

When attacking, use your APC if you have one as a spawn to spawn near your target (saves alot of time)

If your squad leader is not using the frago, KICK HIM get him outta their, its not good for the squad and your all loosing points. (to kick press start choose a player press X and choose kick from squad)

Follow the orders from your squad leader.

communicate and heal.

Make sure you have a Rescusitation on every loadout. also have one loadout with medium or heavy armor a machine gun and nades for defending the letters on Domination.

If your trying to get the DEVIL DOG trophy the way i got it was by buying the SMG to make me light and upgraded my pistol to the automatic side arm and then spent the rest of my skill points on athletesism, rescusitation and electronics. Then you just use only your machine pistol untill you get 30 side arm kills in a game 5 times. Its not easy but after a lil time youll get the hang of it. On Domination i aim to get 1 kill per min and try not to get kills any other way so you know exactly where you stand. Good luck.

MAG glitch against Valor

MAG glitch Against VALOR

Thanks to Treavous for finding this one.

To use this glitch with the most effect, do not blow the bottem door to F, by not blowing the door VALOR will not expect you to get in focusing their attention elsewhere. You can also throw granades through the wall so just park up your APC use it as a spawn and TAKE F SOLDIER!!!!!.
