Six Days in Fallujah

[Otis Driftwood]

This is a game that has been delayed in production for a long time. At first, it was censorship, seeing how it was a little too soon in 2007 to be making a tactical shooter into a squad based Sim of actual encounters described by veterans and survivors of the infamous battle of fallujah. Then, a little longer so that the software could accurately replicate the weapons and the scale of the maps. It released on steam a couple days ago and it's actually pretty good. Plays like Insurgency: Sandstorm but with actual missions and variables like ROE to keep things interesting and make you think on your feet. Very immersive proximity chat feature making it so that enemy AI can detect you via sound. All missions are a simulation of a real story told by a US Marine in a 1:1 rendering of the actual location as it was during the battle. Really good game so far 8/10.

I just play games (mostly older 2D games) to blow shit up.

WoW, OSRS are what I did play for many years, OSRS for near twenty. Not my type of game because I play none these days except for ORNA a mobile based GPS RPG which doesn't count BUT I love to see where gaming is these days and their advancements. Sounds awesome, I will gladly research this on YT from your description. Really does sound neat

Yeah, I've always been drawn to shooters. Mostly games that try for realism (one shot death, large explosion radius, removable walls) the bigger the arena the better. Verdun, Tannenberg, Isonzo, hell Let loose. Super gory and hyper realistic. Explosions taller than buildings, ppl getting blown to giblets, all that.

The Genesis was my first (hand-me-down) console. I feel a deep connection/childhood nostalgia for it and have always been drawn more to arcade style gameplay or arcade ports. Testing reflexes, recall ability/memorization, trial and error, and the repetitive nature of the hardest of older games are all very soothing to me.

Those games, in some ways, are harder for me to figure out than pvp. No cap. My brother had an NES and I never actually made it to the end of two games, actually. Zelda and Contra. You might like Boltgun, though. It looks like Doom, aims like Quake, and tells a lore-integrated WH40K story along the way.

Contra is rough. A lot of rote memorization and reflexes. I've gotten through contra before, but Zelda type experiences never really interest me. That being said, I like the Genesis so much that there are quite a few rpgs I own for it. I don't care for plot in most videogames.

I've followed the development of it for ages but I'm yet to try it out, I'm still playing battlefield 4, man I miss the days when battlefield was good, like bad company, battlefield 3 and 4.
BF4 still has a couple of hardcore player groups left but it's slowly dying 🥺

I feel your pain. Ever since Isonzo came out, Verdun matches have only been about half full. Not that Isonzo isn't good, just that not everyone wanted to buy the next 2 games. Tannenberg is basically the open warfare version and it's usually damn near empty. All of em had their spikes in usage and I'm glad I was there. They're still having it out with each other in there, though. Everyone who didn't get Isonzo stayed on the western front. At least it's historically accurate lol 😆

Isn't this game based on real life warfare in Fallujah?

Yup, there's a documentary style cutscene with interviews from the marines who were there at the start of each mission.

I remember when this game was originally announced and had no idea it finally saw the light of day.
