The first major DLC pack for MAG will be available today. In case you missed the original news post, the Interdiction DLC will offer quite a bit of new content at the tender price of $9.99 USD. All MAG players must download a 4MB Interdiction Activation Patch today. This will prepare you to get the new content, which is 440MB.
The DLC will introduce the all new Interdiction game mode designed for 128 players. Two factions will duke it out for control of three command posts while utilizing armored convoys for all the squads on the map. That means the DLC will support 16 APCs in game at once. Your team will have to capture and hold as many objectives as possible while decreasing your opponents’ score across three new “faction neutral” maps – Iron Creek Quarry, Lake Bayano Spur, and Sovot Motorway.
The new Heavy Improved armor set will also be introduced in the DLC. In addition, look for a slew of new ribbons, medals and Trophies.
