Game Info:

GLOBAL AGENDA is a fast-paced action MMO using Unreal® Engine 3 set in Earth's near future, a spy-fi world of advanced technology and player-driven conflict. In the wake of severe global disaster, the political face of 22nd century earth has changed and player-created factions scheme against each other for power. Traditional full-scale wars a thing of the past, factions must rely on covert agencies, teams of elite special operatives able to seize and defend key facilities. The future of humanity is their battleground, where knowledge is power, technology is a race, and everyone has an agenda.

The players control the world of Global Agenda, forging alliances with their peers and executing lightning strikes against their enemies. They determine which factions to aid and which to oppose, while the only thing that stands in their way is other agencies.

• Develop your agent - Create, extensively customize, and improve your agent character over the course of your career, complimenting your FPS skills with RPG-style progression and high-tech gear.
• Advance your agency - Join a player-created agency, compete in technology races for advanced equipment, and capture critical locations to increase your influence in the world.
• Compete in fast-paced PvP combat - Work with your allies to gather reconnaissance data, then raid or capture enemy-controlled facilities during objective-based missions. Equip yourself from a powerful array of weapons, armor, and strategic devices like triggered explosives, deployable turrets, stealth suits, holographic decoys, and remote control robots.
• Experience a dynamic, player-driven world - Agency leaders navigate through a global conflict of other player-run groups, striving to reach their goals first. Territory, resources, technology, and influence are all valuable commodities, with agencies engaging in politics, intrigue, and outright deception to control them.

Subscription Renewals:

We're not in the habit of putting our hands out for money, but I thought I'd post up a little reminder to those people whose yearly subscriptions have lapsed that you may want to consider resubscribing. Yearly subs don't auto-renew, so some of you may have let them lapse without realising this. Our monthly income has slowly sunk below our outgoing cashflow and we'll exhaust our savings within three months if we stay at the current level.

So, if you've got at least $5 per month to spare, jump over to the subscriptions page and help out with whatever you can afford. Every little bit counts.

Subscribers get:

• Reserved slots on all of our game servers. No waiting in line to join.
• 7GB email storage with an account @focusedgaming.com.
• Access to subscriber forums, including a monthly community budget summary, so you know where your money's being spent.
• Better prize pool in competitions.
• A warm fuzzy feeling.
