Zipper Interactive has finally dated the three-faction gunplay whirlwind for MAG, the Escalation add-on pack. Included in the recent MAG beta program, the Escalation DLC "supports up to 96 players, or one 32-man platoon for each PMC, as a separate in-game mode that pits the forces of Raven, SVER, and Valor against each other at the same time."

According to Zipper, "the aspirations for each PMC is to earn the requisite number of points before time runs out or, if time does expire, to have the most points overall. Whichever team meets this goal wins the map and additional Shadow War points."

Escalation offers three completely different maps and weapons to the MAG universe. The maps will include the volcanic beaches of Isla de Magma, the mountainous Silverback Ridge, and the desert wasteland of Radiant Barrens. As for the weapons, in will include:

• Raven: Gotha Elite (Assault Rifle)
• KP21 (Machine Gun)
• Kinmark SRS (Sniper Rifle)
• SVER: Tamsen MK2 (Assault Rifle
• Ariet SFW (Machine Gun)
• Rubakho SVR (Sniper Rifle)
• Valor: M31 CIR (Assault Rifle)
• M245 (Machine Gun)
• Sentinel M421 (Sniper Rifle)

The Escalation add-on Pack, will be available for download from the PlayStation Store on the 2nd of November for US$ 9.99. To celebrate the launch of the upcoming DLC, Zipper is offering two other deals to existing and would-be MAG gamers:

• Interdiction Add-on Pack: Now US$ 4.99 (US); reduced from original price of US$ 9.99 (US)
• MAG Starter Kit: US$ 14.99 (US): An almost US$ 30 (US) value and everything new MAG users could want: Interdiction and Escalation Add-on packs, a 30-day trial for MAG character slots B and C, six official MAG PS3 avatars that sport Raven, SVER, and Valor characters and badges, and three dynamic PS3 themes (one for each PMC).
