The year is 2025. The optimism and harmony of the 2010s were completely
eradicated by 2020. A global crisis loomed. Food shortages sparked
riots, currencies plummeted, fuel reserves dwindled, and oil-producing
nations began to ration what remained. It is a dark future. Governments
earmarked money for humanitarian efforts, overseas security, and
intelligence services which, over time, found its way the coffers of a
small group of Private Military Companies. These three private armies
(Valor, Raven, and S.V.E.R.) then began to recruit aggressively.
Soldiers without a country, the contractors fight wars that never
happened. This is the nature of the Shadow War.
From the award-winning developer, Zipper Interactive, comes the
next evolution in gaming -- MAG. A first-person, online-only shooter,
MAG lets you experience battles with up to 256 real people across a
global battlefield. Players join one of three PMCs fighting each other
in a shadow war and can either become skilled operatives or rank up to
eventually command their private army to victory. Featuring
unprecedented online action of a scale never before devised with player
controlled strategic assets such as calling in air strikes, mortar
barrages and parachute insertions; the persistent Shadow War in MAG
keeps players coming back for more.
