Got a chance to play some Global Agenda at E3 last week, and let me tell you, the game is a hoot. I could have played that baby all day.
The funny thing is that Global Agenda wasn’t even on my radar, and I write about MMOs a lot. In fact, due to the game’s title, I thought the game was an RTS. Not so, it’s a shooter, with some very nice MMO qualities thrown in.
The skinny is this: the game looks, feels, and plays like those old Unreal Tournament games I loved so much. It’s quick, dirty, and the weapons are awesome. It’s also got a hot sci-fi feel. GA is a true shooter, in that whereever you put your gun site, that’s where the rounds go. It’s not like Tabula Rasa, which handled accuracy with a lot of behind the scenes number crunching. In TR, where you put your gun site wasn’t particulary important, but your accuracy stats were.
As you play GA, you acquire experience points, which you use to buy talents. These customize your character, so that you gain additional defensive bonuses, or an increased blast radius to your grenades. There are also loot drops in the game, so your gear ends up being unique to you. On top of all this, the game seems to incorporate melee weapons seamlessly and effectively, which is something most other action games fail to do.
Hi-Rez Studios, the makers of Global Agenda, have released a new video. You can find it after the jump, and it’s a nice piece highlighting how they feel about elves and other fantasy creatures.

I just recently found out about this game myself, and i have to say that its on top of my list of games im waiting for. I’ve been looking for another team oriented, class based fps that could rival my clans experience with games like planetside and battlefield 2142. From the information and videos on their website, http://www.globalagendagame.com, this game looks to surpass my previous experiences. The persistent world allows players to actually take meaning from online matches; as opposed to merely earning points or winning a single scenario, players fight for territory that their agency uses to research new technologies and such. I, along with 20 or so of my friends, are damn near bursting waiting for this game to be realeased.
