ABOUT MAG
PS3 EXCLUSIVE
MAG (previously titled MAG: Massive Action Game[2]) is an upcoming MMO shooter for the PlayStation 3 in development by Zipper Interactive. The game was announced at Sony's E3 2008 press conference. Various subtitles were being considered for the game, including MAG: Shadow War, MAG: Zero, MAG: Global Assault and MAG: Final Hour. The game is scheduled for release in North America on January 26, 2010. Release dates for the rest of the world have not yet been announced.
Gameplay
The game will utilize a new server architecture to support online battles with up to 256 players, with users divided into 8-player squads, with 4 squads forming a platoon, and 4 platoons forming a company. Each squad will be led by a player who has advanced through the game's ranking system Character statistics and development will also increase with frequent gameplay. The players most advanced in rank will be able to either direct the battle or participate directly in combat
Basic battles will take place within ongoing, faction-based campaigns to encourage the player to actively play. The game's E3 unveiling trailer featured large landscapes, tactics such as air strikes and parachuting, and a variety of vehicles, from tanks and APCs to airplanes.
Factions
The game will contain three different private military company factions: Seryi Volk Executive Response or S.V.E.R. (pronounced "Sever"), a ragtag military force with personnel drawn from war-torn countries; Raven Industries, a faction with high-tech weapons and armor; and Valor Company, whose soldiers are equipped with more standard-styled gear. Players will be able to customize the face, voice, and armor of their characters, as well as what weapons and kit they carry into battle. The game will be a first-person shooter
Backstory
As a multi-player game, little time has been used on explaining story. The content of this section comes from the DEV diaries, a series of videos from the developers. As time passes in our modern world (the game begins in 2025), maintaining a full scale military becomes a burden. In a fully globalized world, the only security threat is from small scale rouge organizations (gangs, militants, rebels, a pirate or two...) against whom large forces are useless, and the fuel needed to supply increasingly mechanized armies becomes more costly. As a result, most nations armies decrease to the size necessary to defend against a "national emergency". In their place rise PMCs (Private Military Corporations). They have two advantages: first, they compete, lowering their cost, and second, they are not draining the wallets of tax payers, just those who need help. In an unregulated global economy, the companies soon compete by less than honest means. After enough mergers, bargains, and buy-outs, however, the remaining PMCs decided to use their weapons to full use. The original attacks followed a simple plan; shot their soldiers, they have less of a good, supply goes down, they have to charge more, they go out of business. The shadow war, as it was called, grew in secret until the PMCs begin to buy their own means of supply (eliminating the need for countries to pay them) and the conflict moved into full swing. It is unclear if the story will continue after release or remain static.
