Tuesday, June 8 at 1am Pacific/ 4am Eastern/ 8am GMT, MAG v1.06 will automatically download to your PS3 the moment you sign into the game. Medal and Ribbon updates, all-new vehicle behavior, modified weapon performance, and brand new medical kit functionality are just a few of the several revisions that MAG v1.06 brings to the table, so don’t forget to log in and take advantage of it.

Nothing about double Xp this time around. wonder if they just forgot to mention it.

Anyways can't wait to see what they did to the APC in this patch.

Update on 1.06 patch

Clan lists will be fixed so that online will show on the top. This is great news as now we will not have to kick for inactivity anymore. I was wonderiong when this was coming and now we know. There are some of us that rarely play and sorting the list is a pain to scroll through.

Bump the list is now complete nd I think the highlighted ones are the most important other than the weapons tweaks

Ok so alot about this patch has completely frack up including medals,trophies and ribbons. But also things like the LMG not being affected the pistol getting awesome and the SMG getting worse? some of the colour changes are cool but the new gun ports aren't Sad

. There a novelty they get annoying after a few games

Lol. The gun ports will be awesome when I get in the driving seat. It's what we've needed. That makes 4 guns to cover charge planters at the the roadblocks.

I can't wait to try it out.
