It's a war GAME if everyone played war games maybe they'd find a way to bond though them like i do with people. Its fun to hit people with nerf toys and fake videogame bullets. cause no one really gets hurt.

Anyways the game looks great they didnt say they used the Blender game engine. but whatever. Blender is great. Love to hear news like this and cant wait until a blender movie hits the big screen.

Wow, you guys talk as though this is the first war game to come out? I understand the need to vent about so many games being made about war, and so few adventure games (man, those really need a resurgence, but it isn't really happening, telltale aside) but I don't think it's really fair to single this game out for that discussion. At least this one doesn't 1. take itself seriously, or 2. focus on killing innocents a la gta.

I just want to know if the game is good. Anyone play it?

Yay blender!

If only linux was a more viable platform :(

Nice work
Shame that their expensive engine doesn't allow a native Linux client to be made :(
But it's not a big loss – we already have loads of 3d shooters.

If "war" as a games topic is ok – why not a game about blowing up an airplane and sending it with all the passengers to the ground of the atlantik. This whould surely be as much fun. (irony!)

It's a game! This site needs to implement the same policy as the blender forums – no politics. Man everyone is a politician now days. Look so you've got an opinion, we all do, now get over yourself. Youre thoughts are not as new, unique, original as you think they are. Dont mark yourself the greatest intellectual mind of our time, no really. We dont really care man, not cause were ignorant but we knew the facts and moved on long time ago. It's a game that utilised blender. Comment about that! And how cool that is forget the politics.

'Sorry, but a lot of the world terrorists currently come from that Middle East area – it's just how it seems to work out.'

That made me smile, especially since the world's most dangerous terrorists with the highest count of civilian casualties on their names are coming from the USA.

Besides that, it's just another wargame. Why not come up with something more original? I think the visuals are just mediocre, and the whole war scenery is just too often used. I don't think I'm going to try this when it's finished.

Well, regardess of which side of the debate surround the content in the game, its never bad to see Blender getting more attention. My guess from reading the previous posts is that there are many people that will find this game suits their interests, and it may just inspire someone of the masses to create other content in Blender. Not my style to see so much gore, but I still wish nothing but success to its creators…

Just a thought

I'm sure anyone bashing the game and lack of innovation would be free to apply to the company as a developer, artist, script writer, or any of the other positions needed to make a non-violent, innovative game.

Were it set in the 1800s when the French were colonizing Africa would you be so quick to bash? How about it was set in the future killing aliens? Is that any different? Maybe those aliens came to give us wonderful technology. How about if it was all about the Iranian elections and a civil war? IT'S. A. GAME.

It comes down to one thing. It is a game, made to sell I'm sure, so the look (Lego-like) and the shooting is just using the formula of what sells. Once they get established they may very well branch out, but from the sound of it they may need that "foot in the door" and to get on the radar.

If you still haven't figured it out yet…

YOU ARE JUST AS FREE TO GO MAKE A GAME YOU LIKE. Don't sit on some website bashing their efforts being jealous or picky, go make one. I understand that some folks despise war, I tend to agree. There are good things that have come from it, generally technological and medical innovation that does go other places to improve life.

You saw the title, you clicked the link. If you don't like it don't play/watch/click just like if you don't like TV you turn it off. If you don't like war refuse to participate and make the world a better place.
