PS3: MAG Patch 1.05 Details

[Ancient_One]

Greetings and salutations MAG fans! Over the last few weeks, we’ve been prepping some behind-the-scenes updates in an effort to maximize your shooting experience circa 2025. The result of our labor is the new and improved MAG version 1.05.
To get it, all you have to do is boot up the game as you normally would and let the automatic downloader do the rest. Once the new patch is installed, you can expect to find a number of nifty technical fixes that should minimize your chances of getting the occasional lock-up, increase the likelihood of your team getting good leaders, and improve the realism of your weapons with various gun updates.
MAG v.1.05 will be available starting Monday, April 19 at 1am Pacific/ 4am Eastern/ 9am GMT. For the full list of changes look below and for the complete history of MAG fixes and patches, don’t forget to visit our official patch notes page at http://blog.mag.com/blog/patch-notes/.

Not sure I totally agree with the chocie to make only headset/mic users Squad Leaders.

Has been mixed feelings on the MAG forum about this. Some agree the Squad Leader needs to be able to talk to his team mates to direct them to where they need to go but others argue it's not important as long as the Frago is used correcty as that pretty much identifies the next point of interest.
