"We've been exceedingly grateful to those of you who participated in our MAG beta tests over the last several months and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out."
"-More than 42,000 matches were played over the course of the full public beta (August 17 – December 5).
-During October's beta period alone nearly 534,000+ miles were traveled in-game by MAG players each week.
-During the final month of the Beta 4 and 4.5 periods (November 9 – December 5):
-Of the more than 65,000 players that logged on, 17,000 of them qualified for Squad Leader, 3500 people qualified for Platoon Leader, 1100 folks made it all the way to OIC, and 206 dedicated warriors made it all the way to the level 60 experience cap.
-Nearly 18 million kills were made and an excess of 700 million shots were fired.
-The Top 3 most played maps all belonged to the Sabotage mode. They were, in order, Syr Darya Uplink, Darien Network, and Copper Hills Relay."

The ESRB, ya you know'em. Well apparently they gave Sony's MMO first person shooter MAG a rating for the TEEN audience. I suppose this rating came from the beta, it must be one of the earliest ratings yet.

Assassins Creed released November 17th, and ubisoft are relatively quick on draw to get some DLC packs online.
"Ubisoft is prepping a pair of add-ons for Assassin's Creed II, with the first expansion (Battle of Forli) due in January, and the second one (Bonfire of the Vanities) following in February. The publisher hasn't announced details or pricing for either pack, except to specify that each downloadable content pack will require at least 1GB of hard drive space to install."
