The shooter offers wide range of objective-based competitive 8v8 modes. It terms of story, the game is about two rival organizations that compete for a new world order. There's the Global Risk which is a private military group that fights for their own justice by helping the weak. On the other hand, Black List is a terrorist group that will do anything for money.

Rumors around the internet claim it will be powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 3. In addition, it might have a PvE (Player versus Environment) and PvP (Player versus Player) modes.
