The guys at IGN have a
new preview online about some of their experiences with Global Agenda so far. Here's a clip with some information about character equipment.
All characters get a total of 8 equipment slots for guns and gadgets, the slots becoming available gradually as they progress to level 40. On the assault trooper, the first slot was for a melee weapon, the second and third for range weapons, the fourth for a jetpack, fifth through seventh for off-hand gadgets, and the eighth for a boost gadget. So jumping into a game at max level without having experienced the growing pains, my weapon choices were mostly random - an axe for melee, a Stormer scattergun, and a MASER cannon. For offhand, I chose a ranged shield and two types of grenades.
There's a few other bits of information in it as well, nothing too earth shattering though for the time being.
