Global Agenda's unique fusion of shooter-based action, role-playing mechanics, and grand territorial strategy gameplay can make the game difficult to easily pigeonhole into a "classic" game genre. At Hi-Rez Studios, our number one objective is to bring a fresh, fun game to market -- not necessarily to fit neatly into an existing category.

Overall, we consider the game to be an Action-based Shooter MMO. The game offers the fluid gameplay mechanics of a multi-player shooter, with elements of character progression, territory control and economy drawn from the MMO genre. The gameplay includes both player-vs-evironment and player-vs-player content, but all of it is fast-paced aImagend highly engaging and designed to get you into the action quickly, while forever learning to master new skills.

However, Global Agenda is NOT a typical MMO in many respects so please read this section carefully to figure out if it is the game for you.

Elements of a typical MMO that are NOT in Global Agenda:

* a large, seamless world to explore
* quest givers
* open world PvP or PvE
* elves

If you consider any of these items to be must-haves within your MMO, we may not be the game for you.

For fans of the shooter genre, we believe that if you multi-player shooters, but yearn for the battles to have more meaning, Global Agenda is a game to consider.

Likewise, for fans of the MMO genre, we believe that players that love MMO's but are looking for faster-action combat, and No Elves will find Global Agenda a breath of fresh air.

All gameplay is off of developer run servers (the server architecture is **NOT** peer-to-peer like some other shooter MMOs, which we believe ensures that Global Agenda provides a better and more consistent player experience).

Players can choose to play the game more casually, buying the game through a one-time purchase and accessing a wide set of features that allow you to team with your friends and compete in mercenary missions. Or, for an additional subscription (called Global Agenda : Conquest), you can group in player-run Agencies (our version of guilds or clans) and participate in our Alliance vs Alliance Campaign for persistent territory control.

The chart below shows which features are available after a One-Time Purchase at no additional costs, at which features require a subscription. The current subscription costs are also shown.
Global Agenda players can experience the major features of the game after a one time purchase via digital download or box sale, with no monthly subscription required. An optional subscription package called Global Agenda: Conquest will be available for those players who wish to participate in the persistent Alliance vs. Alliance territory control game-play and access ongoing content updates.
