Re: Six Days in Fallujah

Today publisher Victura and developer Highwire Games announced that the first-person tactical military shooter Six Days in Fallujah will soon be in the hands of players.

The game will release on Steam early access on June 22, 2023, priced at $39.99. The full release of the game is planned for 2024 for both PC and consoles.

At early access launch, the game will include four co-op four-player missions focusing on replayability thanks to their procedurally-generated maps. The early access version of the game will focus initially on the first day of the battle seen through the eyes of US Marines. As development progress, players will be given the chance to play as special operations or Iraqi soldiers fighting alongside coalition forces, on top of encountering civilians as the battle progresses.

Additional cooperative missions and story campaign missions focusing on stories from the Second Battle of Fallujah from the perspective of both coalition forces and Iraqi civilians are also planned. More elements coming during the early access are more maps, times of day, weather, equipment, and missions, on top of "proficient AI teammates that follow your orders."

Re: Six Days in Fallujah

See, the stuff I'm more concerned about with Six Days In Fallujah has nothing to do with the use of guns; it's a military shooting game, of course it has guns. The use of guns or even the mere presence of violence as a way to resolve conflict in a video game doesn't automatically make it morally questionable by default, and just because a game is morally questionable doesn't mean it should be blacklisted. I've played way too much DOOM and Mortal Kombat to ever argue that lol.

What I am concerned with is more specific things which are more directly applicable to the real world. For example, Modern Warfare 2019's story promotes the use of violent interrogation, no-knock raids, and many other questionable military tactics generally summarized by the phrase "might makes right". Every single time a good guy (specifically an American or British military operator) in that game's story takes a morally grey action such as those listed above, the action is rewarded with in-game success and the story progresses. The only exception is when an allied NPC uses a chemical weapon; that is where the line is drawn in the value set Modern Warfare 2019 promotes.

YouTuber Jacob Gellar authored an excellent long-form editorial video about Modern Warfare 2019 going into more detail about the themes and values the game promotes.

My point is so strongly presenting the criticisms of Six Days In Fallujah that many others have offered is simple: I don't think it's asking too much for us to be more aware of what ideas the story and lore of a video game is introducing and promoting, and I think we should more strongly criticize and question developers that make games which promote problematic ideas. Play whatever game you want, just be aware of what you're playing.

I feel where you're coming from. My opinion is if the developer was just making a game on Falluja and they didn't take any military people's inputs into it and did whatever they wanted, I would agree. But this game is being built off of the stories of service men and women, so I will take their word at face value as of what happened for the simple fact they were there.

Re: Six Days in Fallujah

I've also been trying to find some feedback and looking for gameplay different than the missions we've been seeing. Came across this.

I've been playing it. It's really bare bones and honestly not worth $40 at this point. Once AI squads are added, I'll play it a lot more than I am now. There's just too many good tactical sims out now. I've been playing Ready or Not and Zero Hour quite a bit more.

Re: Six Days in Fallujah

It looks like the graphics got upgraded and they're adding AI support soon. These upgrades are their storied missions which will be sent in installments. Is anyone playing this game and if so, is the the combat as you see here same as showing improvements?


<b>Six Days in Fallujah - Official 'Command and Control' Game Update Trailer</b>

Get your first look at the new Command and Control update for Six Days in Fallujah, the first-person tactical shooter that tries to accurately portray the events of the real-life 2004 battle. This update adds the first two single-player missions of the "playable documentary" and "will allow players to execute sophisticated military tactics, like fix-and-flank, breaching, and 360-degree security, by giving orders to their AI fireteam," the developers said. The Command and Control update will be available on November 7.

Re: Six Days in Fallujah

I have been waiting for a long time for AI teammates and solo player. Way more improved. Guess I will go back to this game in November. Before this game reminded me too much like Squad and every other "tactical" game, where the "tactical" part was highly depended on who you played online with.

So I am glad damn near 2 years later we are finally getting AI teammates and not only getting them, but have control over them.

Re: Six Days in Fallujah

Been curious how the AI squad members would play and came across this and it looks
This is looking like a console must in 2025 and a VR get even better!

Re: Six Days in Fallujah

Is there a sandbox mode with A.I.? The campaign just seems like its going to be too short.
