@Redford: Probably you are right, and I will STFU.

Tei, if you are not a tester it’s difficult for you to get an idea of the actual game play because all you can see is videos. If you have played it, then you are effectively violating the NDA by posing your opinions of a pre-beta release to a gaming news site.

In either case, it’s worth pointing out that this is a pre-beta release, and many things can change before the first consumer version. I personally think that everyone was dying way too fast – game play which equates to “if you shoot first then you always win” does not appeal very much to me, realistic as it is.

This looks… fun?

I haven’t really played an MMO before (WOW trial didn’t interest me), but this looks pretty good.

@Sonic Goo: I love some of the GA graphics. Really cool sci-fi style. Theres even something that look like “spider oil refinery”. Cool stuff. The graphics of GA are awesome. And more important:the right ones that a game of this type need.

The thing that bugged me about Planetside was that every base assault was basically a back and forth meatgrinder fight that progressed inch by bloody inch through the corridors and that could last hours in some cases. Global Agenda breaks up that “meatgrinder” feel whilst still keeping the “part of a major assault” feel.

Or at least that’s what it looks like they’re trying for, which isn’t all bad.

You can have 3 deployables, maybe 3 turrets, or 2 turrets and a shield. But turrets don’t live long. Nothing live’s long. So I don’t see the fun on playing a engineer on this game. I don’t see the fun on playing on this game. But it has good netcode, good maps, good models, good enough animations. It has pseudo-vehicles (robots) that are somewhat lame. And only on some maps. The PVE is abismal lame (like bots running to his doom). Is a 50$ game, it is a AAA game, but I like more the other games ( BF2, Tribes, Planetside, TF2) than this one. Everyone of these ones are better. TF2 is a better “2forts” skyrmiss MP game than GA. Planetside and Trives have vehicles.. this one not. And Planetside has a hugue map, and a persistent world, this one is a serie of arenas. Much like Wow arenas, I suppose ( I have not played wow). But he!.. You can play Warhammer:Online from level 1 to 40 just doing arenas. Arenas are fun!.

That looks like something I might enjoy. Looks pretty solid already. Signing up for the closed beta now.

This doesn’t really grab me to be honest as it sounds too instanced. I like my MMOs to be big and bold, but I can’t help feeling this is going to be too insular. One of the things I liked about Planetside was the scale, the fact that you felt like you were in a war. This sounds like a skirmish at best. Gameplay wise it doesn’t sound like you will get much more out of this than BF2142 other than possible a few more skills and a crafting system.
