Absorbing damage wielding heavy weapons like rocket launchers and miniguns, Global Agenda's Assault class players will be large and in charge on Global Agenda's battlefields when Hi-Rez's premier MMO shooter launches next year. But a host of interesting devices, off-hand weapons, and shielding technology extend this class far beyond its Rambo-esque overtones.

From the article:

"At the highest level, you're basically going for a tank build to soak up the damage versus an explosive build to deal out damage. You can go extreme down either of those trees or go more hybrid. The talents combined with devices really do let you spec a number of different ways.

"For those familiar with Team Fortress 2, you could basically spec our assault class similar to a demoman (using grenades and sticky grenades), or a soldier (using a rocket launcher), or a Heavy (using a minigun). But you could even go more exaggerated - our tank would be much more of a tank than a heavy, and you could also come up with hybrid builds."

Executive Producer Todd Harris continues our class Q&A series with part 2 - a look at Global Agenda's Assault class.
