Global Agenda

[Reoh]

This game has been getting closer to launch, its a self touted Spy-Fi persistant world next-gen shooter (PWNS! haha). RogueSlayer posted a Developer Q&A recently here at TOG, and incase any FPS style fans have further interest, I'm going to link over to a thread in the mmorpg realms which has a lot of information that have been converged into a single point here at TOG.

I'm really hoping this game will be a big success at TOG.

Some really relevant news was just released about this game. you're going to have the option of playing it as either a regular multiplayer, or masively online game. The once off purchase lets you play the game (with 30 days of MMO play), then you can choose to either pay nothing more and keep playing in the regular modes we're familiar with (including co-op), or become a subscriber and play in the alliance vs alliance meta game (along with access to extra features, which will be exclusive to this play and not interfere or underpriveledge non-subscribers in regular multiplayer action).

Interesting.

The multiplayer gaming world is certainly a dynamic beast at the moment.

They've updated it a bit, but havn't really changed stuff.

Interestingly enough, you get co-op gameplay in the base game price too (with further development for the premium subscription players). People who enjoyed borderlands might be interested in playing this too.
