what in the blue hell are u talkin bout

 

never heard of any such thing

 

Old method.... You could download stuff on your PC instead of having the PS3 on the whole day. It was one of the things Shantz first told me about whe I first got my PS2 earlier this year.

i suggest all you guys wait till next week before downloading the 2gb update, the servers will be down this weekend and sony's servers are getting hammered right now thanks to thusdays update.

 

also from next week onwards the 2.2 gig update can be resumed from where it stopped instead of starting from 0% again.

MAG beta to total over 6 GBs

 

Sony is currently sending out codes to Qore subscribers and other Sony fans via email so they may gain access to the ongoing MAG beta, which will run into November of this year. Currently, the download file is around 3GBs of data, but there’s a chance this may soon double in size. For those who have already gained access into the beta, there is a post in the beta forums—can only be accessed if you have beta access—and they are letting it be known the total file size for the beta may reach 6GB of space.

 

To keep the peace, it’s stated that since this is a beta you don’t need to partake in it. If you choose to play in the beta, then you must accept these conditions. After all, they are giving you nearly the entire game to play through.

 

You can find the full post below:

 

Hi all,

 

Okay, I'm sorry to have to bring you some bad news. Due to circumstances beyond our control and some serious server issues, we were unable to send any codes to anyone today. I've been told that the earliest the first batch is likely to be sent out is Monday. I know many of you won't like this, but I thought it best to let you all know so that you don't have to keep checking your inboxes.

 

As it is, not even the existing users are having much luck getting into a game due to some critical download issues that the team are working to fix. As the servers are offline over the weekend, having to wait until next week is probably a blessing in disguise for you all. Hopefully by then all the problems will be fixed and the service will be running smoothly again.

 

I should also warn you that it's only become apparent today that the download is going to be pretty big; possibly in the region of 5-6 GB. Again, I realize this may shock or upset some of you but please remember that this is a Beta trial; you are under no obligation to take part. The team are basically giving away the whole game as part of this trial because they need to test all scenarios and circumstances to ensure that the complex back-end server systems are all functioning correctly. If you can be patient enough with the downloads then you should be richly rewarded. If you hear stories about people disconnecting during download after X hours and then starting from 0% again, hopefully this won't apply to you next week. These are two of the biggest problems that the team are working to resolve right now.

 

Sorry if you feel let down over all of this, but this is the reality of Beta trials and something you should come to expect and accept if you ever want to break into the Beta Trial Community. It is because we are having these problems at this stage that we can work to address them, in the hope that when you all purchase the final game you will have the best possible online experience for what will hopefully be one of the best online console shooters.

 

Everyone at Sony appreciates your patience and understanding in this ... the end will come and your vouchers will arrive very soon now.

 

Best regards,

 

Shijima.

 

 

Even with the big file size, will this change your mind on downloading the beta? They are offering a lot of content for you to explore and help them test before the game sees release.

 

my patch download is 70% complete. hopefully it will be complete when i come back home tonite.

fingers crossed
