Global Agenda

Global Agenda is a Massively-Multiplayer Online Action Game crafted by Hi-Rez Studios located in Georgia, USA. The game utilizes the Unreal Engine 3 and is set on future fractured planet Earth in which a terrifying global disaster brought humanity to the brink of its destruction. The human race has been divided into smaller political factions called “agencies” which are forced to battle for domination over increasingly-scarce territory, resources and advanced technology.

Global Agenda has taken many features of several well-established gaming genres and meshed them together to create an exciting, trans-genre experience which will appeal to fans of many different game types. Global Agenda features several elements from popular sci-fi role-playing games (RPGs) such as Mass Effect or Fallout 3, while maintaining it's frantic action by drawing upon classic shooting games such as the Unreal Tournament series.

The game features the traditional RPG division of player characters (referred to as “Agents”) into four distinct character classes or 'Archetypes'. Extensive customization of your agents skills and equipment means that every character is intrinsically yours - a well-honed killing machine tailored to fit your unique playing style and to allow for far more advanced teamplay. The game plays as a third-person shooter, giving the player greater spacial awareness and the chance to gaze in awe at their beautifully-crafted Agent. Agents can enlist with a player-made Agency of their choice to compete against rival agencies in 24-person player versus player matches to come out on top of the ultimate battle for supremacy, or wage war in the more unusual player versus environment mode, taking your Agency on in-depth tactical missions against computer controlled opponents.

Most exciting of all, Global Agenda features a truly player-driven, ever-evolving online world! Agencies will be called upon to take part in political wars as well as the more obvious combat, spreading propaganda and using deceit and cunning to maneuver their agency into a position of power and influence from which to attack their opponents. In Global Agenda, you wage war as you see fit!
