Zipper Interactive's Jeremy Dunham has responded to claims that MAG is struggling to maintain a substantial player-base

Posting on Zipper's official forums, Dunham stated:

“This is incorrect – MAG has more concurrent players than SOCOM Confrontation worldwide on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. This has been true for every month since MAG’s release on January 26,” he said in response to claims that Slant Six's PS3 shooter has more players than MAG.

“Obviously we don’t hit the same numbers we had in our first few months in terms of concurrent and daily users, but we’re still amongst the most played online PS3 games out there.”

Despite the release of Call Of Duty: Black Ops this week, MAG remains our most played first-person shooter this year. We doubt that's going to change this late into November. We loved MAG when it released, and frequent feature updates have only made it better since.
