The folks from Global Agenda have announced that the sign ups for the game's beta are now open.
ATLANTA, Georgia – January 8, 2009 – Hi-Rez Studios™ announced today that players can now apply to participate in closed beta for Global Agenda™, an action massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) scheduled for release in late 2009. The closed beta is anticipated to begin in the second quarter of '09 and players can apply by visiting http://www.globalagendagame.com/
Global Agenda, built using Unreal® Engine 3, is set in a near future world of advanced technology and player-driven conflict. It features fast-paced ranged and close combat, RPG-style character progression, solo or cooperative team missions, and epic, competitive campaigns between player-created agencies.
"Our alpha testing has gone very well - in terms of game stability and, most importantly, very positive feedback from an active alpha community", said Todd Harris, Executive Producer of Hi-Rez Studios. "Based on these results we are excited about aggressively growing the Global Agenda player community in Beta"
Features Intended for Closed Beta Include:
Develop your agent – Create, extensively customize, and improve your agent character over the course of your career, complimenting your FPS skills with RPG-style progression and high-tech gear.
Join with other agents – Engage in cooperative PvE missions to develop and refine your individual and team tactics
Advance your agency – Join a player-created agency, compete in technology races for advanced equipment, and capture critical locations to increase your influence in the world.
Compete in fast-paced PvP combat – Work with your allies to raid or capture enemy controlled facilities during objective-based missions. Equip yourself from a powerful array of weapons, armor, and strategic devices like triggered explosives, deployable turrets, stealth suits, holographic decoys, and remote control robots.
Experience a dynamic, player-driven world – Agency leaders navigate through a global conflict of other player-run groups, striving to reach their goals first. Territory, resources, technology, and influence are all valuable commodities, with agencies engaging in politics, intrigue, and outright deception to control them.

Looking at the Youtube vidoes of this game, all I can say it looks proper sick.
Can't say I have ever even heard of this game before tonight.
Definitely a game I've been keeping an eye on for awhile, it could be the missing link when it comes to the MMOFPS genre -crosses fingers-

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
I didn't read much or see anything about PvE content, I really hope this is like PS2 but more advanced. On another note, did you see them requirements holy crap! I pass them, but holy crap!!!
They said PVE plays a secondary role, to PVP. Read their queations and answers section, this game sounds really promising imo.
Oh, look.
Planetside 2.0
I hate to beta games that are going to be dead in population and content 6 months later, so I'll pass.
Looks like it plays alot like TR and we all know how that turned out.
I ask because I maybe mistaken, but is it the same pre-beta registration that has been up for months that is being announced, or am I missing something. All I see still is the the pre-beta application pages.
I didn't say this was PS, it kind of resembles it. You make your Orginization find land, conquer it and build your orginization. Also I wouldn't say PS was a laggy fragfest, at times it could b a tad laggy if it was like 500v500 and if you were good and were in an outfit you would do much better than solo.
MAX crashing ftw! Nevertheless, I will see how this game goes.
