Sony has released the official box art for the North American release of its massive online shooter MAG. The game will be released exclusively on the PlayStation 3 in late January.
In addition to showing off the official box art, Zipper Interactive has posted some MAG Beta figures on the PlayStation Blog. There were more than 42,000 matches played during the first public Beta, which ran from Aug. 17 to Dec. 5. There were more than 534,000 miles travelled in-game during Beta in October.
During the final month of Beta, which hosted some 65,000 players, 3,500 people qualified for Platoon Leader, 1,100 people made it all the way to the OIC, and 206 dedicated warriors made it all the way to the level 60 experience cap. There was about 18 million kills, including some 700 million shots fired.

That boxart looks epic. I'm on the edge about MAG. I have other fps games that I play online, and I already feel like I have too many. Also, I expect R3 to come out later this year, and I still play KZ2 and MW2. If it gets rave reviews I'll check it out.

On the game information on the right it says MAG is a Third Person shooter.
Someone needs to fix that.

I was impressed with this beta BEFORE the "big beta patch", but I never got to play the revamped MAG beta (had not pre-ordred). I'm definately getting this, though. Funny thing is, MW2 inspired me to pre-order MAG last week because of the few (big) things I don't like about MW2. Too bad MAG is not 60 frames-per-second, though.

@2 R3 isn't coming this year...
@4 MAG isn't space age themed, unless you consider this space age, which can be understood.
Modern age stuff, pretty much, from what I've sen in the beta. And it is like nothing else, during the 256 player matches :)

I pre- order my copy but i will be selling it, played the beta and was very dissapointed- graphics werent rendering well, gameplay, connectivity, looks to me like an old PSone game that can go online and be access on certain maps by 256 players. the screenshots are great, but in the game is just dissapointing leaving you for more.

@23 lol,
That's pretty bad, I was able to stand it for 2 hours, but couldn't take anymore after that. Needless to say, the pre-order was cancelled.

I really hope it sells well. I preordered just for the beta voucher even though I hate playing online. It's an exciting concept to be on with 255 other players, but I'm still not sold. I cancelled and put it towards a mint condition copy of Fatal Frame instead. I may still end up getting it, but that's a big "MAY". Online junkies: I hope it's everything you expect it to be.

Nice, hopefully the EU boxart is just as good, if not better, as usual.
I was vaguely disappointed by the Beta, but being the most hardcore gamer I know, I'l probably get it anyway - especially if the Trophies sound promising. I can imagine some nice, shiny designs for them. Rgardless, I like developers trying new things. Zipper should be rewarded for that. I sincerely hope they do well, and really want them to convince me that this game100% warrants the purchase.
