Patch Alert: MAG v2.10

Patch v2.10
December 7, 2010 | 49MB (TPPS), 129 MB (DLS)

Gameplay (General)

•Implemented “Multiqueue” functionality to allow users to queue up for multiple game modes simultaneously
•Added “Multiqueue” XP bonus modifier that increases as more modes are selected

The most exciting addition, of course, is our new “Multiqueue” feature. A replacement for our “Directives” deploy option, Multiqueue gives players the opportunity to queue up for any or all game modes simultaneously. This allows users to jump into the action quickly without forcing them into gametypes they don’t want to play. All you have to do is uncheck the modes you’re not interested in playing and the Multiqueue will take care of the rest. As an added bonus, we’ve also equipped the Multiqueue with a stackable XP reward that grows in its payout depending on how many modes you’re willing to play! In short, we think you’re going to like Multiqueue quite a bit.

•Increased XP to CP-earned ratio to 1.5 CP for every 1 XP
•Reduced price of Medical Kits to 500 CP from 800 CP
•Teammates can no longer prevent you from repairing vehicles and objectives when in your line of sight
•Shortened cooldown times between leadership FRAGOs to 2 seconds from 10 seconds
•Added “friendly fire” modifier so that allies never receive more than 50% damage when hit by a friendly vehicle
•Improved item-swap speed
Gameplay (Skills)

•Decreased effectiveness of “Marksman Recoil Stability” and “Marksman Steady Aim” skills
•Improved effectiveness of First Aid Kit and Medical Kit skills, “Self Heal Speed” and “Heal Recharge Rate”
•Increased effectiveness of “Improved Smoke Screen Rate” skill
Weapons

•Slightly widened knife-swing arc
Interface

•Enemy vehicles now show damage bar when “attacking” them with a repair kit
•Slight presentational modifications to the “Character B” and “Character C slots”
•Correct text now displays in the Armory when viewing the SVER Hazard helmet
Audio/ Visual

•Acquisition Escort vehicles now have unique models for each faction
•Improved mine-laying animation
Miscellaneous

•Removed “Directives” button from the “Deploy” menu
•Added “Multiqueue” button to the “Deploy” menu and sidebar areas
•Added feature that allows users to take in-game screenshots via XMB Photo menu (1280×720)

Another feature we’re happy to introduce is one that our fans have been asking about for quite some time — the ability to take your own 720p in-game screenshots! To do it, simply bring up the PlayStation 3 XMB, move to the “Photo” section, and find the command to capture screenshots within. Once a screenshot has been taken, you can then find them just as easily in the same photo section. Good stuff!

•Reduced chances of being randomly dropped from a “Clan Deploy” game
•Fixed an assortment of menu-related lock-ups
•“Clan Deploy” performance updates
•Minor server performance enhancements
•Fixed typo in “Chest Candy” trophy
•Various localization updates

Wider knife swing? That might help. I can get right on their backs and still miss.

So many updates today. PS3 3.55 (or what ever) update and this.


2.10 is 648mb so it will take some time to get.

I hope this fixes a lot of issues we have with he game.Moving smoother over terrain will be a plus. I can' believe how many times I have gotten stuck in the dumbest places. Maybe that's just me.

That's quite a bit of change.

On another note, has anyone actually used playstation move with MAG? I've got the unit, but haven't been bothered to hook it up whilst playing....yet

Dun - I tried playing with the move - not for me unfortunately.
I even bought machine gun addon, but as long as there is no option to customize buttons in MAG that won't work either.

Loving the Shoot with the machinegun though!

On a sidenote - after a break of over 2 months I think I'll be playing a bit of MAG every now and then. Just pre-0rdered LBP2 - Dead Space 2 - Mas Effect 2 and our national gamepride Killzone 3! Still need to order Test Drive Unlim. 2 though!

Going to really love this patch, I suspect, and so will the new players too.
