![]() ![]() Players will be part of a four-person fire team tasked with taking out any insurgents they encounter. Six Days in Fallujah will be based on an all-new engine designed to create realistic structural damage for the game's almost completely destructible environments. It also helps that the developer, best known for its Close Combat series, makes training simulations for the US military using game technology. The Marines will also play themselves in the self-styled "game-amentary," which is reportedly using classified satellite photography for accurate re-creations of neighborhoods. ![]() To take Six Days in Fallujah to near-hyper-realistic levels, Atomic Games will also incorporate video clips of Marines recalling their experiences fighting in the city. "We track several units through the process and you get to know what it was like from day to day." "We replicate a specific and accurate timeline-we mean six days literally," Atomic president Peter Tamte told the Journal. ![]() Published by Konami, the game will be based on the diaries, photos, videos, and memories of the former Marines and will attempt to re-create the fighting in the city as accurately as possible. Today, both the Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times are reporting that several Fallujah veterans are advising developer Atomic Games on an ambitious new war game, Six Days in Fallujah. The Washington Post estimates that over 25 percent of all the city's 39,000 homes were destroyed during the fierce fighting, the intensity of which can be witnessed via numerous YouTube clips. The metropolis of 250,000 had become a haven for insurgents following the First Battle of Fallujah (aka Operation Vigilant Resolve) in April 2004, which saw the Marines attack the city following the killing of four Blackwater security contractors. The conflict took place during several weeks in November and December 2004, when Iraqi forces and US Marines forcibly occupied the central Iraqi city. One battle that got a KumaWar redux was Operation Phantom Fury, also known as Operation Al-Fajr or the Second Battle in Fallujah. In fact, the only title to actively tout its re-creations of actual battles from the ongoing conflict is the PC shooter KumaWar, which received explosively poor reviews. Although half of the dodeca-platinum Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare took place in an eerily similar Middle Eastern country, Iraq itself has not been the subject of many games. ![]()
