    speaking of Global Agenda, does it suck? It's midweek madness on Steam and I'm trying to decide whether to get it. going to log into the demo shortly.

    I've signed up for the beta a couple months ago. Haven't heard anything yet, but I hope this is still in the works.

    It's not terribad, but when I was in the beta the battles didn't feel punchy/dynamic enough. Also, PvE instances stunk bad. Mostly I blame the mapping designers. There were too many options, not enough concentration. Except on push maps where concentration was overwhelming.

    The only real appeal was the corp v corp stuff. They may have fixed these issues since then, but I haven't tried.

    From what I remember I believe it was this game that I heard on gamebreaker.tv reports that it will be vaporware as they cancelled a contract with a European distributor and will be going to court for millions.

    hm, maybe it was another FPSMMO that gbtv was talking about with a little google research all I found was the game producer sueing their korean distributor. I am curious though if the game is going to be free to play, I'm assuming it's going to be a pay to win scenario based off micro transactions, and like most micro transaction games is going to suck for anyone who doesn't pay their baddie tax

    Well, if you watch the video, they are fairly insistent that it isn't, and I don't really doubt it.

    Most developers know that most non-casual gamers despise pay to play disguised as f2p, and the large F2P games that have been out recently do not require the cash shop to be competitive. Instead they offer convenience items (aka XP/money boosters), cosmetics, and content.

    Well, I don't doubt they will be that way at launch, as they really need something (out side of cosmetics and XP/Cash boosters) to drive sales (at least from the F2P games I have seen). LoL and HoN have character unlocks, and DDO has content unlocks (basically expansions).

    Oh look, it's tf2 mmo style with jetpacks,

    an assault, a sniper, a medic, and engineer, and probably a heavy in the works.

    Well, it's not like TF2 was especially novel in its shooter class archetypes either.

    Why are we attempting to argue points with Rahl?

    BTW, the CORRECT snarky comment would have been:

    Oh, look, it's Tribes but with all the skill removed.

    Seeing as it's apparently more focus on builds, and you know, it's futuristic and has jetpacks.

    Oh, right, on topic:

    It actually looks fairly solid. If they manage to make an open world massive PvE action shooter I'm going to be really happy.

    IIRC beta passes are primarily given out atm based on posts made (80+, a.k.a. forum presence).

    I've signed up but cba to spam the forums or feign activity to try it out.

    Yeah me neither. What's there even to write about if you haven't played the game first?
