Global Agenda is a fast-paced Action MMO built on the Unreal 3 Engine and set in 22nd-century Earth, a spy-fi world of advanced technology and player-driven conflict.
2155. From the ashes of the devastating Third Great War rose the Commonwealth, an oppressive world government determined to control the entire planet. The few remaining independent factions retaliate the only way they can, with elite teams of special operatives trained in advanced warfare tactics and equipped with high-tech weaponry. The future of humanity is their battleground, where knowledge is power, technology is a race, and everyone has a Global Agenda.
