Rumor: Six Days in Fallujah Dev to Close

Funny how no one minds nazi zombies / nazi occult experiments / etc (wolfenstein, call of duty 5 map packs); but suddenly a game like this becomes controversial ;-) Not that I care about this game anyway...

I keep seeing people compare this to world war 2. Seriously people? You are comparing an imperialistic war profiteering oil grab disguised as "democracy" to a world war that almost destroyed europe? I fear humanity has gone full retard.

Oh fuck this...Fuck Political Correctness as well...

For those that say that this shouldn't be released because it's "Crass" then fuck off all WWII games.
The only reason you play them is the fact that it GLORIFIED a WAR were we didn't (are not) get/getting bitched in.

If it's ok for this politically incorrect game to get canned and you're all ok with it then fuck it! FOLLOW the Germans and ban WWII games.

Fucking hate PC people... Hypocritical bastard mindless people of the internet...
Fuck the media too!
And if you disagree FUCK YOU TOO....

its retarded that things have gone this far for this game. with all the shit shovelware that developers/publishers release daily, THIS is what they're afraid of releasing? bunch of spineless motherfucking cocksuckers.

I'm strangely okay with this.

Why don't they just rename it lol.

Just make the place a fictional one like ARMA2's Chervarus.

I enjoyed their Close Combat games. This game however seemed like a bad idea from the word go.

Well I guess it's nice to know that there is in fact a lower limit to how crass games can be.

The simple truth is that they said this was a realistic simulation of the battle, but they were building Gears of War-style gameplay. The latter would be fine if not for the former. They were never going to live down that early hype they generated about being true-to-life, and if they had, then maybe they could have made it through.

Then again, is Call of Duty 4 any more forgiven because they made up some fake villians in a fake Middle Eastern country? In that game, American forces went in foolhardy and got likely hundreds of thousands killed in a nuclear explosion, and the SAS had to pick up the pieces. What I find amusing is that so many American gamers (including a few ignorant-to-the-news friends) think of CoD4 as pretty much "America, fuck yeah" when the developers actually had American forces bumbling and fucking up at every turn. Well, except for the AC130.

I guess my point is that games about modern-day war have no real rules set for them, so it's easy to see why Atomic Games misstepped here: they had no way to truly gauge what level of gritty realism, compared against a separate axis of "too soon", they could afford to try. They shot too far, and the dev team is gone now because of it. And yeah, smarter PR probably could have done something about it, but it might not have saved the game.

I never really understood the hate for this game and company..how is what they were making any different than any of the WW2 or COD4 games out there?

"low video game sales this summer" might have to do with the fact that fuck-all for games have come out.

I hope your proud of yourself Breckon ;)

The sad thing about this is if they had just called the game something generic like "Desert Assault: Sand in my M4" nobody would have had much of a problem with this game.

Not enough damage control FTL.

This is 100% a PR epic fail. It didn' have to be like this.
