Authenticity? Six Days in Fallujah? You mean the game that has been described by people who have played it as "Gears of War in Iraq"?
@hpv,
have you even heard about Six Days in Fallujah? apparently not.
it was basically third person version of ArmA, but not as punishing and complicated - think Red Orchestra. Atomic Games had several dozens of marines from the battalion that participated in the battle of Fallujah helping them design the game as well as several historians, iraqi insurgents and military officials consulting during the development of that title.

I was against these games coming out for entertainment so soon but really? how was Six Days dropped and yet this game makes it?
So, if you've just been itching to violently mow down countless Middle Easterners without prejudice... join the US Army FFS.
I just don't get what would compel a company to make a game like this. I mean, I'm not offended. But were the developers just sitting around thinking an on rails military shooter for 20 dollars would have good market penetration? I guess I'm offended that they think we would buy this garbage.
I much prefer aliens and stuff. Can we stop trying to make money out of war? war is bad enough, know what I mean.
This is still much less offensive than that Blackwater game. Purchasing this game will put money in the pockets of people with questionable taste. Buying the Blackwater game will put money in the pockets of real world assholes. I'd take this game any day of the week on that alone.
How is this game insensitive? I think our continued involvement of wars over there is insensitive as 5000 US soldiers and Hundreds of Thousands of civilians have been killed.
Screw this PC shit over a videogame when you should be upset with our government.

Oh dude shut up and get over your blind nationalism. this has nothing to do with PC. It's a game just about shooting muslims. It perpetuates the stereotype that all middle easterners are terrorists and facilitates the ignorant as fuck MURICA FUCK YEAH mindset held by rednecks.
Quite frankly this game is an insult to our soldiers and all the work they have done in Afghanistan and Iraq.
so in short gb2school

@nanowerx. The two are mutually exclusive? I'm just as displeased over our presence in the middle east as the next joe schmoe, but this is an article about video games. On a video game website. Don't get in a huff when people have a video game based bias to their comments.
That being said, I think most people find this game insensitive BECAUSE they are upset over the USA's wars in the middle east.

Oh whoops sorry i didnt read your post as closely as i thought. The blind nationalist thing doesnt really make sense but the rest of the points still stand
@Epic Kx,
I know but all this jizzing over ultra realism in war games is getting quite sad and boring if you ask me. But then again the world is a pretty twisted place.

If it was the other way around (you play as a middle easterner shooting americans soldiers), this game would never see the light of the day. Ugh, I hate hypocrisy.
My offence stems that this is an on-rails dhooter, probably about the WORST way to present a REAL modern conflict with complex political and social issues on the plate. These are the kinds of games that have evil business with rocket launching arms firing at you from trains,in the most traditional black and white terms.
Sensitivity and understanding room for these games do not have.
Ugh. No wonder the press hates games.
