Any other 4 pack groups going? Im down.
I had so much I wanted to say while the NDA was on that I forgot!
To start there is HP and Power
Basically there are 4 classes. Each class has 3 skill trees they can go in to. Each class has a Balance tree which focuses on more power, better recovery and more HP and what not then they have their own specific sub class. For example as a medic I can go down the healing route or I can go down the poison route.
There are 100 levels and once you hit level 30 you would have un locked all devices and skill points.
You start with as standard a melee weapon, a gun and your class specific weapon. Then you have 3 slots to put devices in. These can be from healing grenades to rocket turrets ( class dependant )
You can respec as often as you want, when in the main town you just run to a shop press a button and respec as simple as that. You can buy implants for your body which include stats. From PvE you can get crafting recipes and make some really good implants.
You can buy different armours these are just for appearance and you can dye them which is kinda cool.
To join a PvP game or a PvE game you just press M, click the relevant one and click join.
Once in a game at the starting area you can change your set up any time you are there. Which can be very handy.
There are different modes the one I mainly play is Capture, 3 points in the map you have to hold 2 to gain points. You get EXP and credits if you win.
The game has very good in build voice comms.
The people who have done this game are listening to the feedback, melee has been some what over powered but they are nerfing that, even people that use melee agree it needs to be nerfed.
Fly by bombings - now you wanna be real gangster, this is where its at! Spec two points in two increased power and less power used by jet packs(balance tree) get your self a grenade, fly, drop grenade, switch back to jet pack = win.
Have to leave work now but just a little taster
Here is some patch notes they are working on and what not
One final thing - any game which has a mob that guns "MINI GUN FOR TEH WIN" = win in my eyes!

I may be on later tonight (10ish) but if not I will definitely be on tomorrow and very much up for this!
Just had a quick go and it's great so far. Rank 5 (through the tutorial) and played one online game, very good fun. Sometimes a bit difficult to know whats going on but I got 5 kills which seemed reasonable on the leaderboard. Need to explore a bit more about customisation of my class (assault) but it doesn't look like it's going to be too hard to understand. Overall so far I think the beta is pretty well rounded and am looking forward to what they fix/add, only seen a couple of bugs so far
I think Global Agenda is awesome. Perfect game to jump in and get straight to the action when you got a spare few minutes but with a bit more depth than your usual shooter thanks to the character progression.
To me the class balance seems about right and I've had a lot of those 'wow' moments when playing pvp. Getting my first kill with the sniper rifle was very sweet. Only played Robotics and Recon so far - both play very nicely. Robo seemed well suited to defending capture points and dropping a shield wall then setting up your turret behind it is great fun. I prefer the Recon but thats beause I love the stealth aspect plus you get some very cool toys to play with.
I'd prefer to see a bit more depth to the crafting/items side of things but on the plus side you can't completely tool your character up to be unstoppable so even new characters have a good chance against more seasoned opponents.
Its all very slick and the beta is running well. Could be a big hit and I really hope it succeeds because there is a lot to like

Really enjoying this so far, Ive got to say - Sort of suprised to be honest.
Im not sold on how the itemisation works yet though. I am not a fan of item based PvP, far from it, but I think the game needs some sort of more long term goals for players to aim for which items provide. Im also really not a fan of people being able to make X armour look like a generic other set etc. I want to see what people are wearing, its strengths/weaknesses etc.
The PvP is fun, no doubt about it. What Im really shocked by though is that Im finding myself really enjoying PvE, something that has never happened before in a game really - Its challenging and a really good laugh, assuming you get a decent group.
If anybody needs a medic, give me a shout - In game name is Seraphic. Also Chk4, would be interested in joining up or something, whats your game name?
