Comments on: Six Days in Fallujah: The Timeline http://www.onelastcontinue.com/5880/six-days-timeline/ Push Start!

The basic argument against doing something like this amounts to "I don't like it, and I don't want to hear about it." Claiming that this is disrespectful to the troops or belittles their experiences completely misses the point of what the troops are doing in the first place. (Personal interpretation of political motivations aside) They're fighting to make sure the world is, and will remain, a place where our rights are protected. Rights that include Free Speech. I'm a veteran myself. I don't like the idea of this game either and I would not buy it, but I do believe that Konami, Atomic, Destineer, and anyone else involved absolutely has the right to make it. Coercing them into doing otherwise under the guise of honoring the troops is a misguided effort born of ignorance at best, and at worst, hypocrisy.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('772','Nerd Rage'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> This issue always gets me.

Despite it's controversy, the motivation behind the game and exploration of events seems absolutely solid. I'm interested in this so called "documentary style" that they're claiming too, although I forsee lots of Gears-esque shaky cam.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('753','Kapil Bhatt'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I definately want to see the release of this game.

Marines worked block to block and earned where they slept every night, without the luxury of leaping in and out of battle. Not taking anything away from the Seals... they're sexy and have great sideburns, but the Marine Infantry units that took fallujah are heroes and deserve a worthy tribute. They deserve to have their story told, accurately and respectfully.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('750','Snow-Ape'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> @Red – Confrontation was hype built upon games long since come and gone… and the hype of Navy Seals.

We need more third person shooters and a good online multiplayergame because Confrontation sucks ass.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('742','Red'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I hope they will find a new publisher.
