The Birth of A.V.A — 2007 

Before the countless battles. 
Before the legendary weapons. 
Before the clans, tournaments, rivalries, and friendships… 

There was A.V.A. 

Back in 2007, a Korean development team introduced a new online FPS to the world: 
Alliance of Valiant Arms — A.V.A. 

At the time, online FPS games were already becoming popular, but A.V.A wanted to do something different. 

It was built using Unreal Engine 3, bringing a level of visual quality and atmosphere that was impressive for an online PC game of its era. In fact, A.V.A became the first Korean-market game released using Unreal Engine 3. 

But graphics weren't the only thing that made A.V.A different. 

⚔️ A War Between Two Forces 

A.V.A placed players in the middle of a fictional conflict between the European Union (EU) and the Neo-Russian Federation (NRF). 

Instead of simply running into battle, players were encouraged to work together and play different roles on the battlefield. 

Pointman. 
Fast. Aggressive. Built for close combat. 

Rifleman. 
The backbone of the team. Reliable and versatile. 

Sniper. 
Patient. Precise. Deadly from a distance. 

The game also introduced systems designed around teamwork and battlefield coordination, including its Squad System, where squad leaders could gather information and help direct their team. 

🔫 More Than Just Shooting 

A.V.A also introduced weapon customization and different tactical mechanics that helped separate it from more straightforward FPS titles of the time. 

Weapons could be modified with different parts, while maps were designed with multiple routes and tactical possibilities. 

The idea was simple: 

Your weapon matters. 
Your role matters. 
But teamwork matters most. 

And players quickly started discovering what made A.V.A special. 

🏆 A Strong Start 

By the end of 2007, A.V.A had already made a huge impression in Korea. 

In December 2007, A.V.A won the Grand Prize at the 2007 Korea Game Awards, alongside recognition for its graphics and character design. 

For a new FPS, that was a remarkable beginning. 

A game that started as a new idea from a Korean development team had officially taken its first major step. 

And this was only the beginning. 

🌎 The next chapter would take A.V.A beyond Korea and into the international battlefield.
