Global Agenda Beta Schedule

Some info on the Global Agenda beta schedule.

The Global Agenda beta servers are available for play only during specific play test windows, and those tests may be limited to only certain game features. Registered beta participants will receive specific test instructions prior to each Closed Beta test event, as the events are announced.

In general, during January, we expect the servers to be up each day most days in January, except for Wednesdays, starting on January 7 and continuing through January 26. On January 29 through 31, there will be a special Name Reserve and Character Creation event (details to be announced later).

In order to concentrate testing, the servers are currently expected to be live only from 1 PM to 1 AM US Eastern Time daily (10 AM to 10 PM Pacific, 6 PM to 6 AM GMT). The actual hours of operation may change as we progress through testing.

Global Agenda mission type overview

With Global Agenda's release date fast approaching, the guys from TenTonHammer have taken some time with Todd Harris to discuss Global Agenda's mission types.

We spoke with Todd Harris, Executive Producer of Global Agenda, regarding the core of the game's PvP - the match formats or "mission types," and maps. At launch, Global Agenda will boast a total of five mission types for Mercenary PvP (the free-to-play matchmade PvP) and one match type for Conquest PvP (in which agencies vie for control of territory and resources). Here's a quick rundown of the five Mercenary mission types, many of which will be familiar to online shooter fans.
