Global Agenda to Become a Free Agent Mid-April

Unread postby News Portal » 8 Apr 11, 2:24 pm

Playing MMOs can be a costly experience. Those minor monthly subscriptions cost sure tend to build up when you get addicted like crack. They sure would be a lot more fun if they were free don't you think? Hi-Rez sure think so, because they've decided the latest update to hit Shooter MMO [app=2157]Global Agenda[/app] will make the game free to play for all.

What's the catch? What about gamers who already purchased the title? - Read on for all the answers.

We're making it free to play except for a giant list of stuff you still have to buy. Yay for us.

Interesting to see if their numbers increase like D&D online did when they went FTP.

I bought this game during last new year steam sale. I didn't enjoy it all that much.

Pity the game is still shithouse for Aussies.

PvP in a game like this is terribad when you can't get your latency lower than 250ms.

Not to mention the game is bad, regardless of ping.

Awww, was thinking of trying it out, guess I won't now.

So it's like WoW with a big world and stuff except it's a shooter?

The game isn't open world at all.

There's a City hub which is basically just a chat lobby and then you queue up for different gametypes.

Like Fury.


Personally, I wouldn't even call GA an MMO.

GA had the feel of TF2 and would of been a great game if it could handle a 200+ ping but it could not witch made the game unplayable.

GA should not even be selling in our region due to how bad it handles high ping, they were just greedy like most companies.
