MAG the exclusive PS3 tactical shooter will be coming on Jan 26 next year. The news just came in today and it was quite a delight given so little information provided lately.
Apparently MAG has gone gold, meaning that the game is set for production and the best of all, Zipper will provide open Beta starting Jan 4 until Jan 10. Open beta means that everyone in the world can jump into the game by downloading via PSN network starting tomorrow.
The steps should you want to test open beta is as follows:
1. Log on to the PlayStation Store (tomorrow) and download the MAG Beta file like you would any other freely-available PSN video or demo (298 MB) 2. Launch the MAG Beta program from your XMB to download a special patch that will restart MAG once the update has been received (another 38 MB)
3. After the reboot, the beta will reconnect and download the actual game data so that you can play (1.8 GB ? 2.3 GB depending on your region)
I will definitely take part in this open Beta before deciding whether to purchase the game in January. I really hope Zipper can pull it off. It's not the concept of the game that worries me. It more of execution, how lag the game will be? How is it compare to IW net's matchmaking? I admit IW did a great job in matchmaking system and it certainly has raised the bar to the industry.
