MAG: Massive Action Game is the tentative name for an upcoming online shooter exclusively for the PlayStation 3[2] in development by Zipper Interactive. The game was announced at Sony's E3 2008 press conference, with a tentative release date during 2009.[1]
Gameplay
The game will utilize a new server architecture[3] to support online battles with up to 256 players, with users divided into 8-player squads.[4][5] Each squad will be led by a player who has advanced through the game's ranking system.[4] Character statistics and development will also increase with frequent gameplay.[6]
Basic battles will take place within ongoing, faction-based campaigns to encourage the player to actively play.[4][7]
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.[7][4]
It has not been announced if the game will be a third person shooter, like Zipper's previous SOCOM series, or a first person shooter.
