Product Description
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.

Global Agenda is great for several reasons. First off I would like to say that I've personally never seen a team thats so devoted to making great content for it's MMO after post production. All the updates and patches have always added something new and exciting. The patch 1.3 aka Sandstorm is going to be off the chain and is to be realeased in a couple days (note that its 04/22/2010 when I made this review). MOST OF THE FEATURES ARE FREE TO PLAY FOREVER EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. (It's impossible for me to cover everything in one review and actually have people read it, so I suggest going to [...] and checking out everything you can.)
There are roughly four types of combat:
PvE: A player joins a que (or with an already created group) and plays with a team totaling four players. The object is to blast your way through mutliple enemys, robotic and cybernetic, to face the final boss. The difficulty of the missions after easy and medium is much more potent and tactics and team communication are REQUIRED for succes. (the game comes with VOIP, but you can type statements too)
PvP: Comes in three different flavors
Agency vs Agency: Player made agencys vie for control of a territory and requires team resource management, diplomacy with other players and various other strategies. (THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR WITH A SUBSCRIPTION)
Mercenary: If your don't pay for the subscription then no prob, you can still experience most of the content you get in AvA. When you join this, you are basicaly setting yourself up as a mercenary, and you fight other players in roughly six game play modes which boil down to;Bombing the other guys base, controling an area, defending zones, and escorting resources. All require teamwork to succeed, and this is really were you get paid (in game).
Virtual Arena: If you just feel like testing that weapon you unlocked, or practicing your pvp skills with no consequence,then this is were you go. I must say that you should be wary the first time you are transported in, as noobs will be quickly dispatched lol.
The new 3.1 patch will also include several new gameplay modes plus new weps, armor, and tonnes of other things. But the biggest thing it will offer is a new open world to explore.

As a beta tester, with in an hour of the announcement, I have pre-ordered two of these limited editions..
This game is face paced as in for those FPS'ers its pace is sort of in between the speed of pvp with Halo and Unreal. So not as crazy face paced as unreal, and not as slow paced as halo, good in between feel. Addictive.. but not in the bad way as some might spend 40+ in wow a week as I have raiding.. Kinda like Modern warfrace addictive.. once you pvp you will not want to stop. (assuming you have a great team working besides you).
Find some Friends and get in this game , pre-order to get into the beta.. and Enjoy.. see you there

The Goods:
Colorful nvidia graphics make for a sensational 'Tribes'-like battles.
Game-play is uniquely balanced and player options create a strategic style so that players may master their skills against tougher opponents.
The Bads:
Installation from Steam has some issues. If you do, "verify your download" in the options menu (right click).
No vehicles.
My Requests:
A sequel with 'undersea vehicles'.
Great FPS Game! July 2, 2010

Having played dozens of MMO titles over the years many fall flat or just plain suck. So far it seems this game has lots to offer and much more on the horizon. As of this review the multi-player world itself is limited but that will change sometime this month. The greatest thing about this game is it has no subscription fees unlike most other large scale multi-player or MMORPG games. It might seem you get what you pay for but of course that does not actually mean you always get more when you pay to much. So no need for anyone on a tight budget not to enjoy a quality and fairly polished game that is Global Agenda.
If you like Sci-Fi Environment's, Guns, Robots and PVP then you will most probably enjoy this game.
It's sort of like Tribes evolved February 16, 2010

I played the game through beta and am currently having a blast in the retail version. Tonight my agency rocked a Conquest point (alliance vs. alliance) and then quickly defended our hard earned factory. Using my jetpack, grenades, and magma lance rocket I made quick work for the enemy trying to sneak up on us.
If that at all sounded interesting to you, I HIGHLY suggest giving this game a shot.
If I had to sum up it's gameplay, it would be like the spirit of Tribes living inside game types of more popular games like TF2 or Enemy Territory, with a persistent flavor. Really fun game, and I'm sure it will be around for a LONG LONG time.
Don't be afraid of the OPTIONAL subscription fee, you can have a blast in the general content and never need to pay a monthly fee, which is uncommon to any game which has persistent servers. However, if you really want to excel and get a really deep team experience, Conquest is up your alley.
