The fourth stage of the MAG beta went live today and it features several notable additions and one important change sure to rile some folks up. First the bad news - Beta 4 is only open to gamers that have pre-ordered the game from GameStop. Previously you could get in a number of different ways but now you need the pre-order. GameStop certainly has been pulling some great pre-order bonuses lately with the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta that starts next week being the other). I wish Amazon got more aggressive about this because I'd rather give them my money than GameStop.



Now for the good stuff:

• The MAG Beta 4 jumps from 40-60 players
• Adds proximity chat
• Gives out new Shadow War bonuses
• Hit detection and reactions have been improved

The best change they have made with Beta 4 of course is opening up the servers 24/7 until November 20th when the beta ends (and you'll be playing the BFBC2 beta anyway.)

MAG is scheduled to hit the streets on January 26th, 2010.
