Interdiction DLC coming June 22nd

New DLC has been announced.

Check out http://blog.mag.com/blog/ for the details.

When this comes out I think you'll find this is the only Game mode I'm going to want to lay for a while. I recommend everyone picks it up.

I realise its going to cost £6.99/$9.99 but for three new maps and a new game mode, it's not awfully expensive. Also if only half of the people get it then only half of us will be able to play it and I want to attack this with the entire clan.

It's going to be BADASS!!!!

PS. Shotgun on driving the APC!

MAG Interdiction DLC on June 22

posted by Jeremy Dunham, June 8, 2010 10:00 am

It’s been just over four and a half months since MAG released worldwide and 930,000 battles, 1.7 million players, and 1.1 billion kills later, the time to expand is now.
Yes friends, everyone here at Zipper Interactive is proud to announce that beginning June 22, our first expansion pack, dubbed “Interdiction,” will be available to players all over the world for $9.99 US (prices in other regions may vary).
“But what’s in it,” you say? Well, for starters, we’re introducing a brand new gametype that we’re calling (what else?) “Interdiction.” Built for up to 128 simultaneous players, Interdiction challenges two rival factions to be attackers and seize control of three command posts with the aid of several heavily-armed convoys on three brand new maps (Lake Bayano Spur, Sovot Motorway, and Iron Creek Quarry). To make it even more interesting, we’ve made all three maps completely faction neutral – allowing all sides to play any map whenever they want – in addition to supplying every squad with their own APC vehicle (that’s 16 APCs on the map at once!). To win, players must capture and hold as many objectives as possible to increase their score while concurrently depleting their enemy’s. In short, Interdiction mode = crazy battlefield mayhem.


A new gametype and three new maps isn’t all we’re packing either. As an extra bonus, we’re also adding the ultimate in MAG protection, our “Heavy Improved” armor set. Trust us when we say that it doesn’t matter if you’re Raven, Valor, or SVER — if you don the Heavy Improved armor consider yourself a walking tank.
Oh, and one other thing, to reward you for spending your hard-earned dollars on our new DLC, we’ll also be including a handful of brand new in-game medals, ribbons and trophies! What are they? Glad you asked!
Ribbons

• Jump Start – Capture 2 Command Posts in a round of Interdiction
  
• Mowing the Grass – Get 10 kills with a vehicle turret in one round
  
• Dashed Hopes – Destroy 2 mines with gunfire in one round
  
• Cannonball Rally – Become an MVP (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) in a round of Interdiction
  

Medals

• Roadside Assistance – Capture 10 Interdiction control points over your career
  
• Landscape Architect – Get 50 kills with a vehicle turret over your career
  
• BOD – Destroy 20 mines with gunfire over your career
  
• Designated Driver – Earn 5 Interdiction MVPs over your career
  

Trophies

• King of the Hills (Bronze) – Earn the Roadside Assistance medal while playing Interdiction
  
• Red Ball Express (Silver) – Earn the Designated Driver medal while playing Interdiction
  
• Road Runner (Gold) – Capture 3 Interdiction control points in a single round
  

And that’s the Interdiction Pack. Again, you can pick it up for $9.99 starting June 22, but don’t think that we’re stopping there – we still have a lot planned for MAG in the coming months. Be sure to check out your favorite gaming sites throughout the week for glimpses at what we have in store!

You beat me to it
bastard* lol

Lol. Just copied my comment to your one

merged the two hows that for moderation hehehe
and added a poll

Yeah So I see. Now I just look stupid double posting. Oh well gives me an extra post on Quagers Lol.

I'll be buying it. It sounds like what I thought MAG should be from the start. And £7 to get more from MAG is a small price in my mind.

Now see, I probably would buy it, but I don't know if I will.

Here comes my 100 kill streak

reasonably cheap whilst offering some preety fun times by the looks of it. 3maps=6 attack sides by the way they've done it so i'm getting it. Will spice the game up

I'm in the maybe slot right now. Not sure. If they can't fix this game then I wont. But 10 bucks for a walking tank armor I just might.

I'm getting this. *hands down*

Small price to pay to, to add something to a game we all love to play

Yeah it's going to be crazy. Can't wait
See ya'll on the battle front.

there's so many people bitching about how this should be free but that's bolocks because they work hard and they deserve something. This is going to be awesome and my tank mines will come in handy

As it was put to me the other day.

"MAG is the only console game with dedicated servers. These servers need to be maintained. In PC games the maintenance is paid for by subscriptions. Were all lucky were not paying for the game AND for a subscription."

So no PSN subscription. no MAG subscription and dedicated servers equalling no host advantage. Why is anyone complaining about the cost?

Very true, but that doesn't prevent me from wanting it to be free

Of couses iam getting it iam a MAG-GOD lol but we all should get it

If it was possible for someone to pay for me, sure...but since it's not, I don't think i'll be getting it soon.

Nice Shotgun APC though.

I'll get it
