You! Yeah, you! You still haven't played <em><a href="http://www.globalagendagame.com">Global Agenda</a>,</em> have you? I know, I know, you're going to get around to it, it's on your list, blah blah and etc. While you've been dilly-dallying about, <a href="http://www.hirezstudios.com">Hi-Rez Studios</a>' sci-fi shooter has gone and turned two years old!<br />
<br />
That's OK, though, because the game has more options, more content, and more pew-pew than at any time in its history, and thanks to a gaggle of anniversary events, now is the perfect time to saddle up.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/02/03/the-firing-line-global-agenda-year-two-retrospective/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Firing Line: Global Agenda year two retrospective</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/02/03/the-firing-line-global-agenda-year-two-retrospective/">The Firing Line: Global Agenda year two retrospective</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:00:00 EST.

Time flies when you're fragging newbs, and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/global-agenda"><em>Global Agenda</em></a> fans have been doing just that for the better part of two years now. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/hi-rez-studios">Hi-Rez Studios</a>' sci-fi shooter launched on February 1st, 2010, and for this week's anniversary, the firm is offering up some exclusive prizes as well as trotting out a few old flair favorites.<br />
<br />
Starting today, any <em>Global Agenda</em> player who wins an instanced PvE or PvP mission before February 6th will receive a mini Switchblade pet to parade around Dome City in between matches. Hi-Rez is also sponsoring a 6-on-6 PvP tourney that features a dragon helmet for all participants and an unnamed exclusive item and cash prize for the winning team.<br />
<br />
But wait, there's more! Check out Chloe's Burning Fashion for an extensive back catalog of previously retired flair pieces. There are over 100 items available for purchase using Hi-Rez's cash shop currency, including some headgear from past holiday events.<br />
<br />
Finally, check out this Friday's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-firing-line">The Firing Line</a> for more info on <em>Global Agenda</em> at the two-year mark.<br />

Poor minor patches -- they're the little brothers of the development world. They have to wear second-hand clothes, they never get the respect of their older siblings, and they develop a deep-rooted insecurity complex that requires years of therapy to resolve. And yet -- they're still important!<br />
<br />
So it is with <a href="http://www.globalagendagame.com/"><em>Global Agenda's</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/patch-1.41/">patch 1.41</a>, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/05/02/global-agenda-trailer-invites-you-to-defend-the-dome/">which rolls out on the live servers today</a>. According to the patch notes, the tutorial and introductory missions have received some additional work, and Steam users can use their Steam wallets to purchase in-game items from the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/global-agenda/"><em>Global Agenda</em></a> store.<br />
<br />
A couple of the bug fixes pertain to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/05/02/global-agenda-trailer-invites-you-to-defend-the-dome/">the recent Dome Defense raid</a>, which recently went online. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/05/02/global-agenda-trailer-invites-you-to-defend-the-dome/">You can read the full patch notes</a> over at <em>Global Agenda</em>, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/04/15/global-agenda-free-agent-reloaded-and-ready/">which is now free-to-play</a> for anyone interested in some fast and furious hi-tech battles.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/05/11/global-agenda-fires-up-patch-1-41/">Global Agenda fires up patch 1.41</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 11 May 2011 10:00:00 EST.
