How about an FPS set in Syria? Thread

Edit: Okay then...

And I doubt that the guy who sends out gunmen to slaughter entire towns of poor villagers is going to turn out in two years to be "the good guy".

Doesn't this follow suit? It's effectively another 'modern warfare' shooter where you shoot at people in the Middle East / South East Asia.

This will probably get shot down the moment we realize, 2 years into development Assad was probably the 'good guy'.... Or that your really just fighting so that Syria can be turned into a Saudi puppet state.

Oh and the game play would probably be just like Insurgency.... So no go there.
Unoriginal..... Poor setting... Yeah this would just add to the same-ish E3 shooter bananza.

Sorry mate.

What about Syria in the 1920's?

That would be much more interesting

how about players will take on the role of CIA Paramilitary Operators of the Special Activities Division. The Special Activities Division carries out deniable covert operations on foreign soil and often goes into a situation before anyone else, before Army Special Forces, before the SEALs.

oh wait, that would be Ground Branch!

Or how about the The Free Syrian Army (FSA) receives support from the CIA and MI6 and training from U.S. and British Special Forces. In addition they receive arms from Saudia Arabia and Qatar. The weapons are transported to the Syrian rebels from Turkey with the assistance of the country’s National Intelligence Organization, or MIT. Meanwhile the U.S. blames the suspicious activity on Russia, saying that they're flying in attack helicopters.

...and then, ALIENS.

Let me get some things clear, Assad is a murderer and a fascist and if USA or whoever else provides it's opposition arms and training that's great, I support US in this case wholeheartedly. US probably has every right to blame suspicions on Russia since they're probably doing the very same things for Assad. Anyone who can think with their own head will agree that Assad should be taken from power and stand trial for his crimes.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

The Ba'ath government in Syria has been instrumental in maintaining a relatively fair, safe, secular government in the face of Soviet infiltrators, CIA agents and the 'Muslim brotherhood' which has been fueling religious sunni/shia/christian divisions in the region for over 40 years. You should also note that Assads government despite being critical of the US and Israel is not 'client state' of Iran nor do they support the actions of Hamas, Fatah or similar groups. Just because the media portrays him a monster now doesn't actually make him one.

h im syrian i know whats happening the only reason the name Bashar al assad is now the name of a cruel dicator is because of lies told to blinded people by greedy media corporations such as aljazeera and al arabiya who are politically against syria and bashar and all the time they would attempt to lie but on syria tv they would always point out the flaws of their fake videos

Assad will beat the west and the insurgency, he already has the Islamist Militias on the run.

When you kill so many innocents, the hatred spirals and will carry on through generations, its to late to end now, a rebellion like so now will simply escalate until the current regime is brought down, even then there will still be minor conflict.

That certainly would be something to grab my attention.
