Zipper Plans to Keep Reinforcing MAG
We are sure that one of the toughest decisions for any developer out there is to know when to stop supporting a game after its release. MAG has been a popular shooter since its release, and has experienced heavy support by developer Zipper Interactive with multiple packs of DLC, and even PlayStation Move controls patched-in.
Loss of support does not seem to be an option for MAG anytime soon as fans recently brought the question up on the SOCOM forums, and received very positive results. The answer came from Chris Roper, Community Specialist at Zipper Interactive.
There’s a point of diminishing returns with every game. For us to keep supporting something, it has to make financial sense – everyone here has to eat and pay for shelter, after all.
That said, we do still have work ongoing to support MAG. We’re not done yet.
This is great news for people still enjoying the epic battlefields in MAG. Though, with SOCOM 4 creeping up you do have to wonder just how much longer it will last.

Personally, after some of the mid patches, I just stopped playing the game. It became way too inconsistent, and in an attempt to please the fans they ended up making it more unbalanced than it initially was, just in a different direction.
It was a pretty awesome game though, I know I absolutely got my money worth it, and a not-so-shinny platinum
2010 had some great shooters but at this point im looking forward to the 2011 shooters.
i was never a SOCOM player didn’t find it fun at all but when i played MAG when i got it in December i have been playing it non stop lol it has been my crack for the past few weeks and when zipper said they weren’t done i was so happy can’t wait for whats in store……..also i do agree some teams are unbalanced
did you ever play the original SOCOM games or is your only SOCOM experience with the online only Confrontation? If that is your only SOCOM experience than it doesn’t even count cuz that game was a piece of crap compared to the first games on the PS2. It sounds like they are returning to its roots too so I’m looking for SOCOM 4 to be amazing.
nope i tried to play all the ps2 games but it just wasn’t my cup of tea
All developers should support their games like MAG devs do. I still play the game sometimes, and I still enjoy it.
Rumors of Socom 4, Killzone 3, and Call of Duty ???? ????, really can’t think of others comming out in 2011 I need to research this more
Resistance 3 how can I 4 get especially that Insomniac is going back to the roots of RFOM.
