If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines and looking for a reason to play MAG again, Zipper has a nice free update that should entice you to return to those massive-online battles. The update, v1.07, will be available for download in early August.
As posted over at the PlayStation Blog, here is a look at what you can expect from the update:
* A new “Happy Hour” Double XP bonus that’s applied to the first hour of any player’s gameplay session in a 24-hour period.
* Suppression will join Sabotage as a “Faction Neutral” gameplay mode, allowing any PMC to battle each other on any Suppression map.
* Faster download and patching code that allows us to update MAG with more content and bigger file sizes in a speedier way.
* Redesigned versions of the Flores Basin (Raven) and Alyeska Terminus (Valor) Domination maps that include new obstacles and repaired exploits.
* New lighting effects for more attractive and realistic environments.
* Various fixes to address bugs or glitches to improve MAG’s overall performance.
More changes are planned with this update, and we can expect to hear more details shortly. As a reminder, this update is free.
