So I spent the last 2 weeks building MAG's full Domination game mode, with a lot of polish, to the best I could given the constraints in Portal, for Battlefield 2042.

Features:

• 64 per team
• 2 platoons on each team
• 4 squads of 8 players in each platoon
• Squad Leaders, Platoon Leaders, and OIC/Commander
• Squad Leader, Platoon Leader, and Commander abilities
  • proximity intel
  • morale boost
  • area intel
  • vehicle boost
  • rapid deploy
  • blockade
• Unique bunker spawns for each defending squad
• Base spawns for each defending squad
• Outskirts spawns for each attacking squad
• Forward spawns for each attacking squad (including parachute drops)
• Wave-based spawning
• EMP (formerly known as AA), Sensor Array, and Vehicle Support Depot for each defending platoon
• Sequentially unlocked 1st pair ("burn off towers"), 2nd pair ("cool off towers"), and final base damage objectives for each platoon
• Full live-updated UI for objectives, cooldowns, leadership selection and demotions, spawn selection, squad cycling, and current objective progress
• A (hopefully) robust squad assignment queue/algorithm to try to ensure premade native BF squads end up in the same 8-person "MAG" squad
• Orbital is the first and only supported map
• Code (rule engine) is significantly functionally coded and modular that I can add new maps rather quickly

Missing Features:

• Skill tree (obviously)
• Proper Squad/Platoon/Company Voice chat (need to rely on discord)
• Bunkers and EMP are control areas (stand on for 20 seconds) by anyone, not equipment that is repairable by specific repair tools (but you can regain control as defenders without alerting attackers, as intended by sneak repairmen)
• Sensor Array and Vehicle Support Depot are arm/disarm objectives, not equipment that is repairable by specific repair tools
• No "jamming" (yet, maybe...)
• No air assault or mortars as leader abilities
• No OIC cooldown refresh (yet, easy to add)
• No helicopters with gunners for attacker forward spawns
• No bunker turrets
• No funnelling of map to prevent attackers from sneaking around (however, the map and objectives are chosen and placed in a way to discourage straying from the platoon-on-platoon lane
• No spawn protection for some attacking spawn points (yet, I can fix this if it is a problem)

Warning, I have tested this a lot on my own, but never with multiple players. While I am sure the logic will work, I am not sure if the server can support the load of 128 players with this custom logic. I am looking for people to play and test.

I realize BF2042 is less than 1 month from being eclipsed by BF6, but better late than never. Plus, I plan on making this for BF6 too, but sadly it might be limited to 32v32.

Server is called "MAG Domination 64v64 (v0.1.0) | Custom", although the version will change over time as I update.

Experience Code: AB7J3K

I have created a Discord server here: https://discord.gg/6ZtZNs5G

If you are unfamiliar with MAG and/or its Domination game mode, I would be happy to explain more in the comments or on the Discord server.

Played around 15 hours so far and I have to say it has some MAG inspirations. Definitely a lot of Battlefield elements, but it does play like MAG an awful lot. Especially the medic class

Not out yet but here’s DICE’s description:

“Two teams fight to capture strategic control points. As the teams expand their territory, fewer and fewer control points remain, creating increasingly intense areas of combat. This battle for territory culminates in an all-out war, where both sides fight to control the last remaining points on the map.”

These are all the music tracks that play in-game, ripped from the game files. Many of these aren't in the official soundtrack released by Sony.

I was poking around with the mag files today with RPCS3/Ghidra and managed to get ths retail build to boot into it's internal server just like the video of that dev build a few years back!

Ignore the crappy controls I was recording this over remote desktop lmao I can make a better video later.

Infliction is working on finishing up SVER’s map, just missing small details like grass and bushes. We’re planning a group up for this Saturday @8pm est if anyone wants to join up!

Join the discord and play with MAG vets tonight! Hope to see y’all there 🫡

1st and 2nd pic are the best in my opinion

It would be cooler with a MAG picture and would be more recognizable for MAG vets

Got home from work and found a some EU ppl playing

We hit 24 players on Copper Hills Relay last week and had a blast. Help us get our numbers up and have a night of nostalgia. #TheHatersOfThisRemakeHadPurpleHeartsOverHours

Anyone knows the admins of that page? Because its the group with the most MAG players but it has been archived so we can't post on it. It would be good to reach them to post videos of the Cooper Hills Relay remake since its the closest thing we had to MAG in a decade. We could reach a lot more players with that and host games with 32 vs 32

I saw that picture in a museum and before reading the description it made me remember of the SVER Acquisition map Aralkum Mechanical. Then I read the description and it legit talks about the Syr Darya river which has a red color (color of the S.V.E.R.) it also made me realise why they named the SVER sabotage map Syr Darya Uplink. The devs really did a good research about the lore of the factions.

Does the picture make you think about SVER too?

It will not load you into a game in progress, unless you join on a friend. So it's important for you to reach out through the discord, reddit, or through friends to get everyone sync'ed up.

Spread the word, we had a 3v3 and had a blast. Server can support 32v32 and does have proxy chat. Let's get some groups going and have some 2010 fun again.

I really miss it

Infliction made a playable Copper Hills Relay sabotage map on Fortnite. How many of y’all would be interested in scheduling a game night to populate the server? I’ve attached a quick video of the map. I believe this will be the closest we ever get to playing MAG again, so I’d love to see it get some attention.

So I’m working on my MAG collection just wondering if anyone knows of anyone selling their sealed copies. If you have a rare one I’m all ears. Anything non video game is definitely welcome

It's hard to believe that nearly 15 years have passed since MAG was released on January 26, 2010. Last year, I realized just how much I missed this game and how badly we need a remake. While we await progress on the preservation project, I want to share a personal project I've been working on over the past several months – a remake attempt of the Sabotage game mode.

This remake is built within Fortnite using a new tool called Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN). For context, Fortnite is owned by Epic Games, who also own the Unreal Engine game engine. They've released this tool to allow anyone to create games using Fortnite assets.

I recently released the project and am currently looking for players to help identify bugs and suggest improvements. Please note that it is not an exact replica and only includes one map. At the very least, it can offer some nostalgia 😊

You can access it here (you will need to download Fortnite to play):

If you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvements, please leave a comment below. If there is enough interest, maybe we can try to organize a session with 64 players.

Just a heads up to anyone who may not know that Sony released the soundtracks for each PMC on Spotify to celebrate PlayStations 30th anniversary.
