I was in the Alpha after moving from Planetside. Fun for a while but got kinda meh after.

Im somewhat interested in it. Im not sure I feel like shelling out $50US + monthly fees for Team Fortress with some RPG elements though. If I hear good things about it and the price drops I might consider it.

Looks pretty cool, never heard of this yet.

Im intrested in it but i will wait for some reviews. I mean BF bad company 2 is on its way.

Im addicted to the beta

To be fair, if the subscription fee is the only way to play the large scale battles, you might as well consider it subscription only as that would be about the main appeal of the game.zomglolcats

yeah pretty much, why they charging a monthly fee for an fps i will never know. its pretty lame that there doing it hopefully it will come with one month free so i can enjoy it for a month but still i'd be alot more excited if there was no monthly fee.

and does anyone know if planet side had a monthly fee as it had huge 1000 player battles?

'Tribes MMO'

That alone makes me interested.

However how is it *scoring* in these reviews TC?

im also thinking of getting it.. im just trying to get the word out..since to me it looks very promising..and I hardly see this game get mentioned here

Thoose are not reviews, merely snippets from comments that was given during E3 after seeing select gameplay and cinematics....The game has issues in the current BETA such as:

• It's not really a third person shooter, it works very similarly to WoW in combat..
• The "Recon" class is heavily over powered and most people are using it
• Some classes are very underpowered such as the Medic

Yes, it does.

I've been watching it for awhile, but I haven't seen anything about it.

They're doing a pretty horrible job advertising it.

Kay so,

If you dont like TF2 style gameplay or PvP dont get this, because it uses pretty much the same formula as TF2. Since the game is also still in beta (comes out feb 1) we have not yet seen all the content, Hi Rez is telling us that the beta only includes a fraction of the total content.

So far in the beta, like i said if you dont like TF2 you will not like this game. The classes (Medic (healer) Asssault (tank) Recon (rogue/spy) robotics (engineer) and weapons are suprisingly very balanced. There isn't one thing so far in the game that makes the game unfair.

The other thing i like is that unlike WoW or GW or any other MMO, a level 5 can kill a level 30 (The max level is 50, 30 is when you unlock all your abilities the extra 20 is just kinda like presige). Obviously it will be harder for the level 5 but its still possible unlike in WoW where a 75 v 80 would be no contest.

AvA is also loads of fun, (Agency vs Agency which are guilds essentially) fight for control of a huge conquest map. Which is unfortunatley not availible for free roam. Unless your in a battle obviously. There are 5 different conquest maps that have vary from 100-150 ish tiles that your agency can control.

PvE isn't as strssed in this game as it is in other MMO's, PvP is the main part of this game. Im not much of a PvE person but the PvE is kinda meh. Its decently challanging, the instances are not nearly as long as WoW's because there is a time limit on to complete them, which is hardest part about them. Max security's time limit is like... 20 mins i believe. The maps also use death traps eg. gas chambers with timed doors, giant crusher things etc kinda like in a mario game.

The down side of this game is once you play the beta extensivley, the game begins to feel like a stripped down TF2 because the MMO aspect of this game is to a minimal. But its also still in beta so once again we haven't seen all the content. So if your into questing and leveling, its not here. The PvE isn't very compelling i guess would be the word.

Also forgot to mention, you can buy the game and have an option of paying a subscription. The subscription basically igves you the MMO parts of the game. Without the subscription, i can see this game being a crap version of a borderlands - TF2 hybrid.

So its pretty much TF2 turned future MMO, so far i'd give this beta 8/10

Yeah dont bother if you dont like PvP

Looks pretty awesome. I'll probably get this instead of Star Trek Online.westafford

[QUOTE="westafford"]Looks pretty awesome. I'll probably get this instead of Star Trek Online.millerlight89

I'm sure there will still be "Trekkies" all over it, claiming it's the messiah of multiplayer gaming. I can't fathom why anyone would want to play that garbage. But if they can stomach any of the Star Trek shows, it probably shouldn't come as a surprise to me that they'd be able to handle an incredibly monotonous game, too.

And yes, Global Agenda is very fun. I'm in the beta also and it's definitely more like a multiplayer shooter than a MMO. You really barely notice MMO elements because you spend most of the time playing the game like you would any other third person multiplayer shooter. I really like how they've taken inspiration from TF2 in the classes, too.
