Global Agenda : Epic Weapons - Video Dev Blog

[strangerdanger417]

I wish that HiRez was still "100% Behind Global Agenda"

[RoReviews]

omg u have  a free game trial? for 15 days omfg thats not kool

[druidenis]

recon is most likely considerd SHIT >:( not melee

[daemonhunter100]

Nerf vulcan on the back!!! :D

[DrWhiteGlint]

Global Agenda is supposed to be competitive PvP yet all I have seen from 1.3 onward is casual. Pre-1.3 was FAR better.

AvA felt more epic and more like a fight than an arms race.

The weapons system was more deep and varied with the device points.

And that's what made the game fun for me, the game isn't really fun any more, I continue playing anyway in the hopes HiRez will actually listen to their COMPETITIVE audience once again. Competitive PvP MMOTPS is what it was meant to be, NOT an MMORPG

[daemonhunter100]

@DrWhiteGlint they are sort of bringing that back when Free Agent goes live (F2P) more players will bring that back

[KovuIce]

are you guys still 100% behind Global Agenda?

[ObsidianWizroh]

Why is it that the voices are so quiet on my MacBook Speakers, but normal volume in my headphones? All other videos are fine =\

[abrigedon]

@ObsidianWizroh Because Mac sucks =)

[ObsidianWizroh]

@abrigedon

... Or it doesn't? Macs are actually very good computers. They just cost too much for some people so they rationalize their decision to stick with a PC. in reality, Macs can run Windows, if you need to run an EXE that doesn't work in Wine. So the cost is the only reason to not buy one. And the reason they cost so much is because people are willing to pay that much.

Joking or not, your comment is wrong on every level.

[abrigedon]

@ObsidianWizroh Somebody doesn't know anything about computers. =)

[ObsidianWizroh]

@abrigedon

Yeah... but as a guy that has used Macs and PCs, I forgive you for your ignorance. =)

[abrigedon]

@ObsidianWizroh I've used both you just don't know that I can run mac's os on a comp and pay about 400 dollars less than paying for the name with a mac. You also obviously don't know what a troll is.

[ObsidianWizroh]

@abrigedon

I know very well what a troll is. I have fun with them every day. Usually by defeating everything they say, regardless how absurd it is.

For example:

Mac OSX may be able to run on a PC but it is significantly more buggy and prone to crashing just as much as any PC. Furthermore, Mac OSX on anything but Mac hardware is illegal. Thus it can potentially cost significantly more than the supposed $400 you saved.

[cassielburning]

Wouldn't call it a fantastic game, its good. Its definitely not a MMOFPS - more like arena maps with levelling characters, at least until open zones. It's nothing like a PlanetSide was on release; it's more like Weapons Factory with half the classes. Game really is a lot like old school WF. Still, since they dropped the subscription (I sure as hell wouldn't pay for a game thats basically a beta - like most MMOs are upon release these days). its worth 25 bucks.

[elronman]

I hear music but nothing else...

[LordLastDay]

I pre-ordered this game and played for some time and got somewhat bored soon after. I'm extremely pleased to see Hirez is giving this game so much support. I feel this game will be worth the money I put on it in due time. Perhaps it will even be many times worth it to me.

[Enctypt]

who wants to hear music while someone is talking for that long?????

[Zemadclover]

HOLY @(@&($&%#^*!!! I thought I wasted my money after I bought GA but MAN!!! Hirez RULEZZZ!!! THIS IS GONNA BE EPIC!!! Thanx Hirez for taking time to make GA a better game!!!

[ajg14113]

This looks awesome!

Cant wait for more from hirez :D

[ajg14113]

This looks awesome!

Cant wait for more from Hirez :D

[DoctuhD]

All I can ask is that you look at the camera while you speak... We feel unimportant when you're not even looking at us. :(

[Sqirril]

"Ever since alpha they've been asking to fly and shoot at the same time"

DAMN FUCKING STRAIGHT I HAVE!

[xdrezdenx]

What they need to do is take a page from Planetside and make large battlefields with capturable buildings. And ditch the stupid gameboard that can only be attacked at certain hours. Make it a real goddamn MMO and maybe I'd come back to the game. I bought it with high hopes that it'd bring back the Planetside feel and instead what I got was Team Fortress 3. It's not an MMO when I can only play in 32 player games.

[theallmightypingu]

@xdrezdenx Theyre adding 32v32 games btw ;)

[xdrezdenx]

@theallmightypingu Still not big enough.

[Lokivoid]

@xdrezdenx

The engine is not capable of planetside scale battles without major modifications. Such modifications would require access to all of the U3E source code, and i dont believe Hirez has a U3E license gives access to the full source. Even if they did hirez is a small lowbudget studio they dont have the staff for a complete rebuild of the engine. The preset max for the engine is 64 players in a match. Sorry but your gonna have to wait for "Planetside NEXT" if you want planetside.

[dsgreat3]

fail video music is way to loud to hear tod

[cichytom]

why do they keep calling it a mmo...? it's only 10 vs 10 at most....

[firion03]

looks really good been playing global agenda from beta and now it is looking like a great game coming back when 1.3 comes out

[crosade1]

Press "M" and you can see what missions are available, Low Security through Medium Security for trial accounts(until patch 1.3 then it will be up to/through High Security).

[genedhr]

I was so worried about upgradable weapons. That they will take away from the "Skill based game, not gear based" main aspect, but it really looks like they have implemented it well keeping the skill as the main aspect of the game!

[netstormuk]

When I first started this game yesterday, there was a nice mission to gain levels. Then when I got level 5 all I could do was get some mission with a couple other people from a machine. Is that all there is to level up? Where is the mission like at the start. Bit disappointing.

[R0meoSith]

the shit? cant hear him talk =\

[Sapeviech]

Muted voices are muted

[TheMadwizz]

If I was in the US I would buy this game but none plays on the European servers (not merc missions anyway) and having a 200+ ping to the US is bad in a fps game like this one.

[DDrathin8]

i cant hear him the music is louder than him -.-

[PurpleCliff1]

Brilliant stuff, you're rockin' HiRez!

[Mystery001001]

But whats gonna happen to us that have epic upgrades al lready? are u gonna upgrade what we have to?

[Pluberus]

@Mystery001001 Nope.

2) Upgrades in player inventory will be converted back into their base components. In addition, players will be awarded Mercenary tokens for each upgrade (up to enforced max of 800) on the following scale:

· Uncommon: 10 per upgrade

· Rare: 20 per upgrade

· Epics: 30 per upgrade

Blueprints: all blueprints will be deleted and replaced with credits, as follows:

· Common/Uncommon -- 2,000 CR

· Rare -- 10,000 CR

· Epic -- 20,000 CR

[Mystery001001]

@Pluberus ahh ty yea see i dont play test server and i didnt read TO MUCH into it cause it pissed me off it soudned liek a Remake of WoW wepons adn i got annoyed till i seen this vid

[KrissPlay2]

@Pluberus pretty sure uncommon blueprint are being refunded @ 1K CR now, as you can buy them from the vendor @ 700 - 1K CR

[Pluberus]

@KrissPlay2 I sure hope so. I PMed HiRez about it just to be sure.

[Pluberus]

@KrissPlay2 Also, where did you see this information at? I can't find it.

[crosade1]

@KrissPlay2 & company - for the BPs they are being refunded as so: Uncommon - 1K, Rare - 10K, Epic - 20K.

[Pluberus]

I love how the developers are as into the game as the players! So awesome! xD

[Redfordcrate]

"Good balanced combat"? Medics plus armor stacking. Really.

I'm still going to play the pants out of Sandstorm though.

[saunah]

Meh, I'm not getting any speech, just the background music :T.

[coldognz]

too laggy for oceanic players in aus / nz

[jsalonin]

The sandstorm patch really gonna make this game the best mmofps on the market. Its just fantastic

[hegemoness]

Nice vid! I love GA and am super excited for the new changes/content.

[TheGatt]

- This is a fantastic game, and this video is barely a peak at what the new patch has to offer. Hi-Rez listens to the community, and it is telling in the changes they are making. Great gameplay and a development team that listens is a combo to be reckoned with.

[SpearmintIce]

@TheGatt

Dude spot on! this game is good now, and after the update will rock.

[Catharctic]

Hahahahahaha! They used the BeaconWarmers characters to show off the new weapon qualities. What a cool shout-out!

[SubspaceGamer]

hope hirez sees this :p Too maneh light effects... this is part of the reason i lost interest in the game. cut down on the light effects add more of an mmo feel. and ya got yourself a kickbutz game

[nollapiste7]

@SubspaceGamer as in dynamic lights (if you mean) can be turned off from video settings

and its UE3 with "the best" lightning system over any other game engine so I see no real point not to use it.

[SubspaceGamer]

@nollapiste7 so all the stuff like healing effects with those anoying plus signs can be removed???

[xwolf540]

I don't like how you guys are working backwards. Working on endgame instead of the beginning. It will be a lot harder for new players to get into the game, and then even be able to earn those weapons. I've played since the first closed beta, getting to the max level every time. But now that the game is released, I just don't want to play it because it is too hard to get into. I really hope that with the release of the new patches coming soon new players will have an easier time.
