It would be like playing a game set in 1993 Mogadishu.
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
I feel like I own this somewhere.
Specificity matters and I didn't look up the name of the engagement like I should have entirely my bad. I should have looked it up and said Battle of Mogadishu which is what I actually meant. The game you linked is a more than just that singular battle it's part of the narrative not the entire thing.
So you're referring to the scope of the game, rather than the subject material? I didn't get that at first so my reaction was the same as Prez's.
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down (loved that game!) wasn't just the battle of Mogadishu, but it was such a central point to the game that if it had been called Delta Force: The Battle of Mogadishu no one would feel short changed playing it. This game might be the same. Or they've figured out a structure that works in this limited scope, I'm sure that's possible. But most likely, it's just really short.
I hope they take the setting seriously. That's the message I'm getting from them but only independent gameplay will tell. If they take it seriously then I don't give a fuck about the complaints/free publicity about how war is bad.
