Zipper Interactive is making good on the promise of continual support for MAG while crafting SOCOM 4 at the same time. A hearty new $10 downloadable content pack, Interdiction, is due out on June 22, ushering in a fresh 128-player tug-of-war-style gametype, new "heavily improved" heavy armor for each faction, more trophies, in-game rewards, and three neutral maps to enjoy all this "new" on.
The new gametype shares its name with this DLC. To get a bit more specific, Interdiction features two rival factions attacking and capturing three separate command posts. The team that keeps the most command posts the longest wins by virtue of score increases as positions are held. The map neutrality adds a bit of spice to the gametype, ensuring that different sides of the map can be used, and the fact that each squad will have its own APC will certainly keep the action hopping.
== TEASER ==Joystiq notes that some players have already unlocked some of the new rewards for Interdiction. If you haven't got them all, or if you're curious about what's left, go ahead and peak below the images of the three maps: Lake Bayano Spur, Sovot Motorway, and Iron Cree Quarry.
