AquaNox

The water is no longer calm.
The undersea world has undergone a transformation from tranquil environment to a place of unspeakable violence, graphic murder and horrific danger. It is now the 27th century and mercenaries such as 'Emerald' Dead Eye Flint ply their deadly trade among the warring forces of man and nature. Gamers take the role of Flint, taking command of a loosely aligned force of fellow mercenaries who hire themselves out to the powerful leaders of this inhospitable world. Players fight vicious battles against crazed mercenaries, mighty military forces and hideous sea monsters. The frantic pace never lets up in Aquanox: True adrenaline-rush action for today's gamers.

In the game's backstory, humanity engaged on an endless war as the resources on the surface dwindled and were insufficient to sustain their desired level of living (or any level for that matter). The wars eventually destroyed the surface world completely, making it incapable of sustaining life of any sort. So the remaining humanity live out their lives below the devastated surfaece, in the depths of the oceans.
