No. This dose not belong in the "Other Games" section.

I was surfing the internet to waste my time when I came across this.

It made me chuckle quite a bit. What do you think?

[forsaken1111]

Amusing.

[darkrider2]

I read some of the replies, its very amusing, and very sad, when you get someone who doesn't understand satire.

Also, I would totally buy that game.

[AntiAntiMatter]

Also, I would totally buy that game.

I suspect that commercially, it would be a spectacular failure.

[C4lv1n]

I think that I'll be sticking with my ARMAII

[mainiac]

I hate it when people confuse being cynical and irreverent for being perceptive.  This is why I can't stand cracked in more then occasional doses.

[Knight of Fools]

I think this came up on Gamespy, too.  I remember reading it before.

[squeakyReaper]

I generally like Cracked.

Generally meaning not all the time.

Meaning not right now.

At all.

[thobal]

I remember that one from back when cracked was pwot

[nenjin]

Man, I think I want to play that game too.

17. In my Public Support Meter display, let me find out that the news media has run, in the same magazine, one story blasting us for going to war for minerals and another story blasting us for not acting on the continuing mineral shortage back home.

There should also be simultaneous stories about the outrageous expense of the war effort, and another about how the troops are under-funded and under-equipped. Set it so that I somehow lose public-support points with each story.

I almost could not contain myself.

Could have been better, but I agree with the overall theme: We need more games that show what a clusterf**k war really is, instead of games that act like recruiting tools (America's Army, anyone?)

He could have added:

21. Sit around in the hot sun guarding an empty warehouse for four straight weeks, only to be bombarded with mortars and sniper fire the same day you finally say, "F**k it, I'm not putting on my body armor today, it's too hot and there's no point".


I'm not much for the FPS wargames, but I did love the first Soviet mission in the original Call of Duty. For those who haven't played it, you're in a landing boat crossing the Volga to reinforce Stalingrad. You have five bullets and no gun. And you're landing at the bottom of a hillside covered with German machine gun nests. And there's a People's Commissar behind you who will shoot you if you hide or try to run away.

Most RTS aren't actually war games, even if they have the word in their title. They're just battlefield games.

Haha, I remember that. It was absolutely terrifying too.

"What!? Where's my machine gun and my limitless magical backpack of self-replenishing ammunition?"

[Aqizzar]

How many more times are people going to take the opening scene of Enemy at the Gates as primary source history?  For God's sake, the whole "every other man gets a rifle, and we'll shoot you if you turn around" is how the Czarist armies fought in WW1.  At Stalingrad, yeah, they made plenty of dangerous boat crossings, but learned quick to sneak in by more covered means.  And after the first couple of months, there were so many dead Germans and Russians who didn't need their guns anymore, that many soldiers carried two or three longarms in case of jams.

The Soviets were thoroughly brutal taskmasters, but they still recognized perfectly well that pissing lives into the wind wasn't going to win any battles.  There's a difference between incompetence and outright bloodlust.
