Hi-Rez Studios has big plans for Global Agenda, and the autumn months will see the sci-fi shooter's largest expansion to date made available to everyone for free. The Recursive Colony patch (version 1.5 if you're counting at home) will include a new open zone with instanced missions, quest chains, social spaces, and mid- to high-level content. New enemies, daily repeatable quests, and further avatar customization options are also on the way.
"Players seeking a quest-driven, narrative experience post level 20 can now level up in the new open zone as an alternative to, or in addition to, our instanced missions," said Hi Rez's Todd Harris. "We've also included a new set of instanced PvE and PvP content for players at all levels."
Said PvP content takes the form of a new mercenary map (Push Dust) and a new acquisition map (Colony Caverns). Finally, if you're going to be at PAX Prime this weekend, stop by the Hi-Rez booth (number 252) and be the first to check out the new content.

This is much needed for folks (like me) who don't want to grind out the same PVE missions and dislike the PvP. Hopefully it will lead to further PVE content.

The game has a glacial rate of updates to it.

Global Agenda has been copying a lot of tactics used to lengthen MMOs through massive grinding rather than actually addressing their problems with their match making for PvP matches and balance issues between classes.
Now with this announcement I think HiRez is going to shoot themselves in the foot. They've worked so hard at making PvP just to now scramble to make a large amount of PvE content.
This is probably going to further divide the population and increase queue times for PvP. Global Agenda could really take off, but the game needs to decide if it wants to be PvP or PvE.

HR has shot themselves in the foot so many times now that I'm surprised that they still have something to stand on.

I think Firefall is going to pull many people away from this game.

In their newsletter yesterday HiRez mentioned that folks would be playing Tribes at Pax at their booth.
