Global Agenda
Global Agenda is a MMO (massively multiplayer online) game set in the futuristic world. It will be played in the third person shooter format. It is developed by Hi-Rez Studios and it will run on Unreal Engine 3. First announcements for the game were made on March 2007 at that time it was under production for two years. Status for the game is now under Alpha testing. One of the trailers was released for the game on May 1, 2009. A new website for the game was released by Hi-Rez. At a charity event called “MISSION”: Pwning for a Cure”, game was previewed for the first time. The charity was held on 8th of November, 2008 I Roswell, USA. Global Agenda will only be released for Microsoft Windows. Fall 2009 may see the release of the game.
After long and extensive testing the game is to believed to have a third person shooter mixed with FPS kind of gameplay. Nothing is announced by the company but from the videos and articles it can be assumed that the gameplay of Global Agenda will feature classes and further customization of the classes. There will be four playable classes in the game but all of these class are broadly, customized, modified, and are upgraded. All these customizations are made to carry tactical loadouts to be based on the current situation. First class to show up in the game is Assault. They will be the class with most attacking abilities and have thickest armor. However other than these specialties they will not have any other additional powers.
Second class in the game is Recon, they will not have strong weapons or thick armor but they will have a special stealth ability of Invisibility. Only careful players can overcome this. Recon will be specialized in sniping abilities. Robotics will be the third class and they will use the highest level of technology. No weapons or armors are confirmed for the Robotics; however they will use forcefields, utilize turrets and mechs that are controlled by remotes. Final and the last class will be Medics they will have the unique quality of regenerate others health. They will play as specialist in biochemical toxins and poison. Thus harming enemy and giving their team advantage over others. For them also no weapons or armors are confirmed by the developers.
Appearance customization is more focused, facial customization. Customizations will be supported by a new randomization feature confirmed by the developers. All the new dye colors, Helmets, Suits have to be purchased or earned through the game. Many kind of facial expressions have been confirmed which will modify, like Cheek Bones, Head, Eyes, Ears, and Nose. Other than these you can also change hairstyle of your character. But customization of the hairstyle is said to be limited. For the body only skin tone can be customization. But if the game has to compete the other MMOs they have consider other body changes also like breadth, height and build.
Very less is revealed about the story. What ever is reveled about the game it is concluded that the game will be based in 22nd century. In 22nd century political face of the earth is changed and the factions created by the players will be fought for power. Full-scale wars are history now and the factions now have to rely on covert agencies. Elite special operatives will seize and defend some key facilities. Hi-Rez had involved many factions but nothing is revealed about them. One thing that is confirmed is only one story will be there. In the start you will work as a fugitive for the government, known as GA. The game is currently under alpha testing stage. A closed beta may be released in Q2 between April to June. Specific dates are however yet to be announced. Those who want to go for the sign up ca do it on the official site. However only selected players will be accepted to the beta phase.
