    If Tamte's definition of "family-friendly" is a brutal civil war in Lebanon, then he'll have to be involuntary commited as soon as possible.

    Make sure to use a straight-jacket as well; we don't know how "family-friendly" he'll get with the orderlies. #sixdaysinfallujah

    "Modern Urban Combat"? Does that sound like they're piggybacking on the "Modern Warfare" brand to anyone else? #sixdaysinfallujah

    The sad thing is, I'll be there are a lot of stupid adults who would actually agree that killing people, even terrorists, is a family-friendly thing; and they'll let their kids play it. #sixdaysinfallujah

    I like to think of myself as a family-friendly shooter.

    So, is it always opposite day in Peter Tamte's world or something? Modern Urban Combat sounds about as close to family friendly as Six Days in Fallujah is to a realistic, documentary style depiction of the war in Iraq. #sixdaysinfallujah

    'Family-friendly shooter'? That's something of an oxymoron.

    This is a terrible, terrible idea, and is not what we need considering the volatile situation in the Middle East at the moment. Especially so, when considering the rickety state of US/Middle Eastern relations at the moment. To be honest, it kind of makes me sick.

    Also, the positioning of this product is all wrong. It's a WII title? Oh dear. I'd hate to think what will happen if some poor children actually get their hands on this. #sixdaysinfallujah

    @pancho_villa85: I never said that. Firstly, I believe it's a parent's responsibility to make sure their children are playing appropriate games.

    I was commenting on the game's positioning as a Wii title. This, coupled with the fact that the developer is probably going to push for a "family friendly" rating, means that the game has more potential to be played by more children.

    You don't see titles like Killzone or Counter Strike on the Wii, which is primarily aimed at younger and casual gamers. I don't think a game like this, if it does ever get released, will open the floodgates, but it's a warning that parents need to be ever vigilant about what their children are playing. #sixdaysinfallujah

    The whole controversy around this project is unforgivable. There is no reason why someone shouldn't be able to make a game based on actual events. It's amazing how a game like this gets people upset and a game like COD: WAW can launch with a trailer featuring people being shot and burned alive to the tune of rock music. Seriously, you can't get much more insensitive than that. Atomic Games sought to make a game that approached war from a respectful, realistic view. They should have been allowed to do this just as anyone would be able to do a documentary.

    @ViperFTS: I think you are missing the important points:
    1) "They should be allowed to do this" - there is nobody keeping them from doing so. The backslash reminded Konami (and any other publisher) that this won't sell (the reason is another question). Welcome to capitalism.
    2)Atomic Games claimed that they would make a realistic game. That said, they never gave anybody the feeling that they could deliver (realism != respawning health and buildings that seem to be less stable than those in Red Faction).
    3)They made every press mistake there is. From their "we spoke with insurgents" claim to the recent "we are badly wounded, but will keep up the good fight" recent press release.

    Did you know calling a developer "pretty much dead" can destroy any chances they had? A lot of companies with finished games lay off staff in hopes to hire them back if they ever do manage to get it published. But when publishers hear the buzz is "Atomic games is pretty much dead" , they treat it like inside stock info.... Lets not bother with them, they're finished.
    Anyway, if this is true I hope the devs move on. The Close Combat series is classic. First successful representation of troop morale and suppression ever imo.

    Just a reply to a long list of people.
    I think if this game offends you don't buy it for the familys invloved they should ahve the option of having a faulse name which they probably do. Games are Art and this game might have proved it I hope it gets funding or I win big on the lotto and can fund it myself.

    Games and movies like this make me respect the fallen even more they make me remember their sacrafice and think about them and this game would make millions of gamers awake of the true events are would result in millions of gamers giving their full support to their countrys troops even if they don't beleive in the war.
    The Uk might not be at war for the right reasons but I will always support my countrys true heroes and every single infantry man or woman is a hero. I feel the same way about Us forces too.

    this is dumb. Just make the damned game. Let the public decide whether or not we're 'ready'. If it sells, then obviously we are. We don't need other people telling us what to like. Stupid censorship.

    They are making the game, and doing so to the best of their ability. They're right with you on this point.
    It's publishers and investors who aren't. No money means no employees. No employees means no progress, etc.

    This will do more real damage to families already struggling to get by in today's economy, than releasing the game would have to society.
