So the 'New Format' has been dropped in favour of a long ad for SOCOM4 ??

I'm just confused. I didn't catch the snippet of mag in this podcast. Maybe I skimmed around too much looking for it, skimming by about 20 seconds at a time, It was about SOCOM at the beginning and at the end. So, what information do we have about the future of MAG? Personally, I'd like a MAG 2.0. Asked a few buddies the other night while playing, and they had the same opinion. MAG is freaken awesome.

we have mag 2.0, infact we have mag 2.11. you want mag 2   1.0

The MAG comment was at the beginning of the show, just after the opening comments. Basically, all that was said was that the 2.11 patch will be rolled out towards the end of the month. Some fixes include freezing and disconnect issues. I'd just like to have the character slots I paid for.

Mag 2 would be nice, but it will be long after all the bugs have been worked out of Socom, even after its launch, before Zipper starts thinking about a second MAG.

Hopefully the patch also includes the fix for the Duteous Maximus trophy glitch!

Give this game to the clans!  We will even pay a small micro transaction for the privilege of shooting each other.  We will keep this game alive.  We can even make this game what you always envisioned.  Just give us a chance!

- Clan v Clan Deploy - Two (or three) clan leaders deploy at the same time.  Open slots in platoon or company fill with anyone else who might be in multi queue.  Clans have to pay a small per use fee.    
- Modified Clan Deploy – Squad members can invite random players to the group when they are in Clan Deploy.

ok  i know that you guys are really proud of socom and are really into it and thats great,and i have no problem with that,that said i feel and have always felt that way for mag and it seems like mag is no longer relevent to you guys.I understand that because of lag switchers and cheaters and what not that mag is more challenging than ever but still there is no other game where you can get such a vast amount of players on one map and that still is my favorite thing about mag.no matter how far down the player base gets,me and my clan will always play mag because its the best team based shooter there is.I know also that you guys have to promote socom and thats fine but mag is the game i waited all my life for and now it seems like you guys dont even care that you invented a groundbreaking fantastic game and it will fall to the wayside and i hope that doesnt happen.there is no other game like it and wont be until u get to doing mag 2.i will play mag until you shut down the last server,i am not that good at it i just love it,i never claimed i was good,but i play cuz i love it.dont get me wrong i am not downing any of you for doing your jobs but please keep mag on the radar.its a fantastic game and no other game can come close to it,just because the cod lovers dont play it so what,if there wernt so many bs kills i.e.  bullets coming thru solid objects,people lag switching,cheaters in general for example people using aim bots,theres got to be a way to monitor if people are cheating,cheaters ruin all games and should be monitored and gotten rid of somehow,now u may ask how,well thats why u make the big bucks,but if u would recall the article in game informer the summer before mag came out you guys were very proud of the system you had for weeding out cheaters and if im not mistaken you said it was gonna be nearly impossible for people to cheat.I have always supported Mag i bought all dlc i played many hours and i know that it is challenging thats why people play it one time get owned and quit because it actually takes teamwork and skill to win,again this is not a post damning u guys at all,i appreciate the podcast i have listened since number 4,and still i listen every week like clockwork even when you dont say much about mag its nice to be informed instead of having to wait for some crappy article in a game magazine to not tell u 1/100th the info that u get from intelligent people actually having an intelligent discussion about the great games you are working on.As of now i love socom,it was the most awesome game ever on ps2 and i only bought it because it came with the headset and took voice commands even if they never did understand me when i issued them the idea was awesome.I will buy socom 4 for that reason alone but i have a growing number of friends who are not going to buy it because they say you have changed it too much,do u hear this alot and can you ellaborate on how i can convince them that its still socom maybe on your next podcast?mag and socom are both great games but i just hope u dont neglect one for the other <cough gimme some mag news please>

anyways great job on the podcast,pleeeeeease bring back the crazy pics every week it really shows how awesome u guys are may as well add lathos to your fl cuz unless your raven im gonna kill u lol take care guys i look forward to your next podcast and as always thanks for keeping us informed and giving us a place to have a voice you can hear fyi i know my post is one long paragraph i never was good at writing giant post look me up T.F.A. aka the original D.I.E. clan since mag released  come on add me so i can kill u i say that in the most loving way possible
