GameSpy: At the end of the final Matrix movie, there was several factions developing - humans who wished to be free of the Matrix, others who felt that the real world had nothing to offer, the Machines themselves who needed humans and didn't want to admit it and the rogue programs represented by the Merovingian. How will these sides interrelate to each other within the game and will they form "sides" that a players can choose to join or fight against?

Ragaini: Immediately following the end of Revolutions, there is a tense truce between Zion and the Machines. However, it is very much a cold war scenario. Neither of the sides trusts each other, and certain members of both Zion and the Machines may in fact be attempting to sabotage the fragile peace. The Merovingian, ever the opportunist, happily plays both sides against each other, all while further securing his own power base. Add this to the mix of independent operatives, rogue machine programs, and insane exiles and you begin to appreciate the delicate balance of power that exists in The Matrix. This is the state of the Matrix when the online game begins. Three powerful Organizations covertly struggle for control of the Matrix. Players must choose sides and decide which Organization they want to support.
