Win a MAG beta code, play the beta
Here’s the deal. We’ve done our usual GameStop raid and were able to get two beta codes for Sony and Zipper Interactive’s upcoming 256-player online FPS, MAG. Right now, the game’s in its beta stages and will be there until November 20th. That means if you were in the beta, you’d have access until then.
Now you can be. We’re giving away the beta codes we have to two lucky winners. Remember, that’s two! Want to win? Rules are simple: tell us what it is about MAG that pulls your interest. That’s all. Leave comments below and we’ll pull two random winners on Thursday night, where you could then play the beta.
Good luck!

i would really appreciate if i get a beta code i want to try the game to see how it looks and think if i should buy it or not and i really need a new game 2 try out im stuck with cod4 im really getting bored of it i want to try MAG thanks
Here too, my man
Thanks sooooo much SCRAWLFX for securing 2 beta codes for your members/fans! This shows that you really care about your fans. I just spent 30 minutes watching videos of people playing this awesome game online and decided I had to do whatever it takes to try and get a beta code.
I mean this game looks amazing! 256 players playing a Massive Action Game, MAG, with a brand new game engine and a new network infrastructure to support this game. Your character is set 20 years in the future and you play as a soldier in a “shadow war” among three private military contractors: the gung-ho Valor, the high-tech Raven, and the guerrilla-like SVER (Seryi Volk Executive Response). You can customise your character and kit before jumping into a match. That’s right, you jump into a match and you are often parachuting into battle. Each team has five characters and three voice signatures to choose from, as well as a number of different fatigue colours. You’re also given 3,400 credits, MAG’s in-game currency, to spend on weapons and equipment, and you can save preset loadouts into five slots so you can be ready for any situation, whether you need your M4A1 or a rocket launcher.
Your loadout is split into five slots–primary weapon, backup weapon, gear, heavy gear, and armour/apparel–and each slot can hold one item. There are several weapons to choose from in the beta, including the M4A1 and Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR assault rifles, as well as the MK46 Mod 0 machine gun. Some of these I have never used or even heard of, so I’m terribly excited to get my hands on them. You can also equip additional items, such as fragmentation and smoke grenades, first aid kits, and vehicle repair kits in the gear slot, kinda like Battlefield Bad Company. The heavy gear slot can add some serious firepower to your arsenal, such as a rocket-propelled grenade, which I saw being used to take out some vehicles. You can also equip armor that ranges from light, medium, to heavy and I believe they affect how swiftly you move.
There will be plenty of different match types, although I think only 3 or 4 are available in the beta. These include domination, sabotage, training-for when you need practice, and acquisition.
This is pretty much the summary of most of what I saw when it comes to preparing for gameplay, now all I need is to experience the gameplay and jump into battle. I usually work about 80 hours a week, but I have off the next month for a project at home that will take up very little time. The beta is only out until November 20th, and I would love to be able to put my free time to good use. Thanks again for taking care of your users and fans and getting us some beta codes. Keep up the good work!
to be honest i want the beta to see how many of the 128 opposing team players i could kill alone leeeerooooyyy jennnkinnggsss.
Well ive just signed up to this sight in hope ill get this.
I want the beta so that i can throw it in my friends face, game has good potential to be awesome.
Need to final be “better than” Arron.
It interests me cause its the first time that I can fight 128 enemies in one match. And is made by one of my favorite developers (Zipper Interactive).
I live in canda and u cant get it in Canada because there is no where to pre order it. I cant wait for this game. This will help me get some friends online too. I got a ps3 mainly because my father wanted a bluray player and it was the same price as other players plus its a game system. All my friends have xbox and i think xbox sucks. I dont have any friends online so this game will help me work together and have a good time. I hope i will get to know people online and become friends with them so im not bored at home all day long. I have been trying for weeks to get a code too. no one will give it to me even when they say they have some. instead they post it up online for everyone and im always to late for it. Also it may bring some of my friends to the ps3 universe from the xbox universe. This is the future of gaming. You go sony, Zipper, and the person or people doing this contest which i think is named Sal. Let us dominate the future in gaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game will have 4 times more players than 64 player pc games do now. The big team battle mixed with vehicle combat. This game is ganna be like Battlefield 2 Times 4!
256-player online and the team work base matches
MAG man ! looks like an awesome game. been wanting to play the beta for a while. big PS3 fan and party chat is coming ! o did i mention 256 players ? thats insane !
The unique amount of players. This will change the way we play multiplayer shooters. This game has everything a good game should have. The graphics, sound, and gameplay. i would love to play a shooter with 256 players. Since im a PC gamer, the usual 64 players sounds like alot, but will be a fraction of players this game will have.
Mag Pulls My Interest Because Its The Only One Of Its Kind. 256 Players? I Mean Thats Revolutionary! Not Only That But, Come On … The Fact That Its Exclusive To PS3 AND A Shooter? Now You Got Yourself One Heck Of A Game.
the reason that MAG has me interested is the possibility of a 256 people free for all.
Unfortunately, i haven’t seen any game site mention that free for all is in the game since its team oriented. O well, it should still be fun.
Imagine the mayhem. Imagine what it will be like with a total of 256 players playing. It just brings the game to a whole different level. The mechanics to win in this game will be based mainly on tactical teamwork on a whole new level cause of the sheer number of people.
It’s being a while since I’ve being excited for a fps. Last time i was impressed by a the amount of players was the battlefield series; And this game should blow it out of the water.
Plus I want it to get my friend interested in this game.
My interests in Mag is that I want to know what it feels to be in the same game as all other gazillion people with me. Feel the fire fight across the game, when anything can happen at any given moment. Just Because there are that many different “A.I”. It doesn’t matter if you are a player, you will die just like you were a computer opponent.
omg iv’e literally just made an account to enter this XD , the main reason i’m intrested in mag is the 256 player online matches ,or is it 128 haha , who cares either way its full of win !.it would be utter mayhem a true war game.
The interest from MAG which pulls me in is the massive online user capability, this has never been done before, and to sony to make it an exclusive is great. The different squads while playing the online is very appealing because playing by your self against 255 genuine players online would guarantee you a lifetime of deaths!
Cheers Sal and guys at ScrawlFX!
This game attracts me because of the high amount of players can play all together at once online. Chaotic, fast paced or tactical – which ever mood I’m in, MAG delivers. I get the impression it incorporates every notable aspect of shooters into one gift of a game. Personally I can’t wait. I’d love to play the Beta, I don’t get into any of them but I’ll keep trying
I just want the chance to wipe the slackers that I have seen on youtube. It always seems that the worst players are the ones that make a video of it. Please help me. By the way, I wont put it on youtube!!
I want to win a Mag Beta Because i want to feal the thrill of playing in a roon with 256 people. knowing that in this one room there a hundreds of things that can happen, thousands of people to kill. and the fact that a few of my friends have the beta and they say its the greatest thing they have ever played. If i can win this it would be the best thing that has ever happened to me on PSN
I want in…Still just curious how this game will work out. I really can’t imagine how it is being done.
so…umm how do we know who won?
