Chatter in our circles seems to indicate additional resources were recently re-allocated to the R&D Departments of Hulong Transglobal and Visur. Perhaps a response to IQTech's release.

[Ingress]

Correct, and as reported at 1:01 starting Aug 11 through 24, Anomaly cities will expand to include Sydney, Milan, Tokyo, Chicago, Boston, Dusseldorf, Manila, Paris, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong, New York, Washington, DC, and Cologne.

Now is clear, that they are preparing these videos in advance, as the scanner update went live yesterday already :-)

Sure you can't feature every operation, but it's a shame ours had no mention in this or last week's video and no g+ reshare despite timely sitrep submission and g+ post. We're still proud of what we achieved on Saturday 20th July and will aim even bigger next time.

[funkamore]

@ 2:24 - Thanks for that :D we'll give you more clips to broadcast !!! :D

[fontkiller]

Rumors say if you send good videos to Ingress Report they are likely to feature it.

resistance resistance and more resistance from the resistance report

[tripleox]

A plug for Motorola is just the beginning folks!

[STiAT-DaSchurl]

If you live in a kind of area as I do where you have to shut down l8 farms with 35 portals deployed very rara + turrents + force amps 3 times a day, you don't have hundreds of bursters - trust me. Though, in this case the new busters will be pretty useless though, since you're likely to shoot out the shields first and avoid the zap.

[NeoCowboyE]

Just a heads up to anyone not paying attention. Google owns Motorola Mobility, the division of Motorola that manufactures cell phones and consumer portable electronics. So the reason for mods in a game owned by Google specific to a device sold by Google is kind of the same as why you can't play Mario Cart on the X-box or PlayStation.

The reason for the limitation of the Moto-X instead of all Motorola phones is likely because it is the first new phone released since the merger was completed.

[Tizzzed]

There should be an xmp, which you can direct toward an enemy agent, to wipe out their XM. Or, if they get caught in your blast radius. Although this would mean, a whole revamp of the scanner software...

[oneiroidq]

There're PLENTY of ways to monetized the game without trying to control us. And we're not yelling at ingress, ingress is not a person or company. We're yelling on google.

[ThemisThng]

only Moto X has ultra strike?? when will it be available for the rest of higher end Android devices like HTC One and Samsung GS4?

[Fanjita]

We are the agents, we should have a say in this too. I'm not about to get rid of my S4, to get a moto x, just to get the new ultra strike. That's stupid.

[Robbo]

I'm pretty sure other devices will get special items too. Also I think the ultra strike is going to be extremely rare. I wouldn't want 1 anyways, l8 xmps are good enough...

[SKZION]

Don't get bent out of shape yet agents. The Ultra Strike was developed by IQ Tech Research. 1 of 3 major XM technology companies. Trust that it won't be long before Hulong and Visur introduce some equally competitive weapons. Until then get, one of your friends that needs an upgrade to get the new device and pass out Ultra Strikes to the rest of you.

[FevgamesNet]

Ingress, if you want some Agent coverage on the Ultra Strike weapon, let me know.

[chikininabizkit]

The "speed and precision of agents in the field" would be IMMENSELY better served by fixes to the GPS functionality, rather than graphics. Just sayin'.

[DanBurg]

It is a free game. We all enjoy it. They have to fund it some how. I'm sure the super ultra awesome new item will be available through codes/hint etc eventually. Keep calm and stop yelling at Ingress.
