MAG gets pre-order bonuses

Pre-order bonuses. Every big-name game has to have them, and they rarely come much bigger than the 256-player FPS MAG. A number of pre-order items will be coming to Massive Action Game, both for use with the game itself and PlayStation Home. Let’s look at what’s up for grabs.

Those who pre-order the game will be able to choose their very own unique character belonging to one of the game’s three factions. S.V.E.R fans can choose a Hazard Trooper with a “Hazard Camo Pattern, Hazard Improved Ballistic Vest, and the Hazard Improved Helmet.” Raven players can get a Spyder Operative with a “Spyder Camo Pattern, Spyder Reinforced 2nd Gen Composite, and Spyder Reinforced 2nd Gen Helmet.” Finally, those loyal to Raven can get a “Bulldog Camo Pattern, the Bulldog Mk 2 Reinforced Fiber, and the Bulldog Mk 2 Helmet.”

In addition, pre-orders will also be rewarded with the S.V.E.R personal Home space for use within the PS3’s Second Life clone. Qore subscribers will also be able to get into the MAG beta with their pre-orders. 

So, exciting stuff for what is hopefully going to be a brilliant game. It’s out on January 26, 2010. Will it threaten to beat Killzone 2 as my favorite shooter? We shall see.
