Agent Classes - Only Two?

PARAGON - The 'Soldier'
UNITE - The 'Stealth'.
Only two? I designed a spy rpg a while back for fun [Just written stuff] and here are the agent classes I was using. Each of them has a very strong suit and has access to many other skills too of course so everyone can train in combat per se:
The Pointman - The suave, charismatic slick agent, generally the leader of the team. Well rounded, a jack of all and master of none.
The Tech - They super hacker/Technologically brilliant agent
The Operator - A master of all forms of transportations and mechanics
The Assassin - This was my version of the soldier... but since they're SPIES I figured even they were usually stealthy unless it was a military-style mission.
The Gadgeteer - Inventor and walking database of any gadget you'd need for any missions
The Doctor - An expert of sciences, medicine, toxicology, etc.
The point of the post is -- 2 seems a little bit confined and missing a lot of possibilities and versatile gameplay options... so I hope more is announced.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

Damn, that'd have been cool, TARDIS and everything
i agree though, more choices would have been good, as anyone whose seen the first Mission Impossible film and series can attest too.
rather than "the soldier" i'd have thought "the mercenary" would have a better ring to it.
The recon unit
The Intelligence officier
you can think of literally loads of varying degrees of characterisation, hopefully they'll be a system employed.. so you can take the original choice and expand to a whole range of sub sections. Otherwise *makes the sound of a plane crashing*

IF I understood the system correct, the class is of little importance, but the skills and the gear, so you specialize over time, I think. Its just what I read out of the several interviews and press realeases. So the actual starting class choice will be of little matter, only that you have a certain path and then develop you special character over time with skills and gear, and there are no such tightly predefined roles like in traditional MMOs like tank, nuker, healer asf.
That CAN be very cool, if they do it right.

That's like saying there's only two classes to play in WoW, the Alliance and the Horde.
In The Agency, your clothes define your class, not your faction.
I was under the impression that there were 2 factions rether then 2 classes. I could be wrong, but that's how I took it.

There are the 2 organizations you begin in. Once you are skilled enough you can form your own organization. The type of player you are depends on what you wear so you have complete freedom
Really, I think that they have stated this in every single video...
Oh and deaconX, concerning your locked post, Home is a PS3 networking type game (sims like) where you have a character and you can interact, play games, share pictures, watch movies, etc. fully optimizing the PS3s capabilities with environment and such. You can go to the Home place to gather with friends before heading into a team game somewhere so everyone can join the same game rooms and things like that.
that is a slimmed down explanation but should give you enough info on it i hope
Yep, great summary there of Home. It was delayed once for about 6 months I believe and is in Beta at the moment. You can see the playstation.com forums if you are interested in it. I could be wrong but I think it will be releasing sometime in the Spring.
Thanks mate! Appreciate it.

I've been wanting to ask, why the HELL was that post locked, anyway?

Not really sure to be honest. I figured maybe someone else had posted the links and I didn't see it... I also went down by 'one star'... I haven't posted in a while before posting that link so it's quite odd... like MMORPG is mad at me
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
Yes I watched... thanks
now my anticipation grows as I sit and anticipate more news.
