Over a decade after it was announced, Six Days in Fallujah will arrive on PC and consoles later this year. Highwire Games — whose developers who previously worked on the likes of Destiny and Halo — is reviving the controversial Iraq War game as a tactical first-person shooter.

Watching this one with interest.
I remember being interested when it was first announced. More interested now 😎
Looks too intense for me. I'd have to call my doctor for more BP meds. :hide:
Reminds me of Close Combat: First to Fight
Wasn't Kuma\War out around the same time that this was announced? IIRC, it had a similar concept of creating scenarios based on real events.
The game is under threat of being cancelled again.

^What a bunch of assholes. I guess they should just cancel all combat based historical wargames too. :knuppel2:

^ This fellow tries to answer that question.
Hopefully this will be publicity for the game and it will all just backfire.

Usually how this kind of thing works out. Imagine if War in the East 2 was criticized for "normalizing" the mass murder of Soviets. ::)
I would be guilty of probably accidentally killing half of my own squad-mates in that game I think. :o
