Zipper Interactive has released patch v1.46 for the MAG beta, adding full support for 256-player matches.

Following the news that the beta test for the massively multiplayer first-person shooter has been extended until 5 December, patch v1.46 has been released, which - according to Jeremy Dunham on the MAG blog - adds the following:

• Our highly-anticipated 256-player Domination mode in addition to 64-player Sabotage
• Reductions in the beta download sizes by more than 30%
• Extensive tuning to the weapons for all three PMCs to better balance the factions
• An updated experience curve for leveling that helps new and inexperience players
• A huge number of updates, revisions and fixes that reflect the feedback given to us by testers in previous betas

If you haven't been lucky enough to get into the beta yet, keep your eyes peeled.

MAG itself is due out on 26 January 2010 in America, and we wager a European release won't be far behind. Check out our preview to get an idea of how it handles.
