During PAX 2009 we were able to play some of the latest additions to the FPS MMO hit Global Agenda! Three new maps have been shown to the public after they spent some time in the recent closed beta. The three maps are:

Ice-Flow is an Escort map set outside a Siberian facility with the lights of the Aurora Borealis visible against the evening sky. This map provides lots of opportunities for close encounters and the spy class performed very well here.
Seaside is a 3-point Ticket map set upon a massive drilling platform suspended above a storming Northern Atlantic ocean. The seaside map give players on both sides vantage points to target some of the more wide open combat areas. We spent some time trying out a sniper on this map.  
Climate Control is an Attack/Defend map set within the mountains of East Asia and populated with trees that sway in the blowing wind. Very cool map and allows players to dominate in turret locations and choke points. Assault classes all the way!

According to Executive Producer Todd Harris the maps have been received very well by players in beta. He had this to say about the new maps:

"First-time players are hopping on a station, playing team-based missions, and then returning with additional friends to play more. Our Dev Team here at PAX is thrilled to see players enjoying MMO game-play for its own sake rather than simply to level-up a character.  Our booth is a grind-free zone". 

Later this year, developer Hi-Rez Studios plans to introduce Campaign functionality which will initiate a massive persistent conflict between player created Agency groups for limited territory, technology, and resources in the world of Global Agenda.  Players interested in joining this pending Closed Beta Test 2 (CBT2) phase of Global Agenda can apply at www.globalagendagame.com
