What kind of people came up with this? The plot seems to be based on somesort of anti american assault by terrorists. How many people have died at the hand s of these terrorists and how many lives have been spent brining them to justice. I don’t care that the game is stupid or has a bad graphics these terrorists are still evil and are willing to kill every infidel for their false god. The CIA has done good work in forcing these people to talk they have done things which none of you here have the guts to do so you could all play your stupid video games and rant against Bush for his “bad” foriegn policy. If this represents the current attitude of America toward evil then this makes me sick.

They’d make a lot more money if they just made it Guantanamo Tycoon, or maybe Prison Tycoon 4 Guantanamo Gone wild (how many Prison Tycoon games are there now? YES they really do have Prison Tycoon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_Tycoon)

As far as tourture goes, the worst one that has been released is putting people in a cell with a bug near by and no way to escape it, that would drive me mad, I’d say almost anything! One part of me thinks it is okay to torture people to get info, but the other part says “NO BUGS!” So if I wouldn’t endure it myself I could never wish it on another person for any reason.

This would be cooler if you had to escape from the Vatician’s Hidden Torture/Medical Experiment center and you found a room full of dogs with lipstick on and stuff ;)

Not a very interesting trailer to say the least. It definitely seems like a bit of a name drop for a game, hoping to get a few radicals on board (on both sides). Unfortunately, they have to fight against the rabid horde of gamerkin, we come pre-loaded with heavy skepticism.

It was actually called the Phoenix Program.

The Phoenix Project may be an interesting topic for those curious about Vietnam shenanigans.

Daniel: What bold statements? That’s the whole problem, it says nothing, it’s off on a flight of fantasy, just using the name of Guantanamo to catch a little media buzz.

(Actually, if the mercenaries were a PMC and the place was still being puppeteered by the US, that’d coax it back to relevance… Oh, except it’s still got that “EXPERIMENTS!” shit.)

wait is this game being made by westerners? or is it under siege esque prpeganda.

if it is a then WOW that traileer has some BOLD statements.
if it is B then it makes more sense.

Walsh: What exactly are you arguing against here? That there were some soldiers that tortured and acted cruelly, even viciously during the Vietnam war isn’t really in question, it’s pretty much established fact by now.

Bhazor,

If it’s written in a book, it must be true!

this concept has a lot of promise…on paper.

but it seems more like another good example why games should stay away from direct commentary. they’re not built for it, and neither is the audience. at best you get mealy-mouthed farce; at worst, tom clancy.
