Hi-Rez Studios confirmed the launch date of their MMO shooter Global Agenda today. It's set to go live on February 1st, 2010.

Pre-purchasing the game through Steam, Amazon, or the Global Agenda website will earn you access to the January beta and gives you an opportunity to reserve your player and agency names of choice. Pre-purchasers will also get two in-game items: a Commonwealth helmet and "head flair" based on Global's "No Elves" marketing campaign.

The game itself costs $49.99. An optional subscription, called Global Agenda: Conquest, gives you access to additional features.
