Kuma\War New Mission ‘Fallujah Vigilant Resolve’
Available For Download
New York (June 22, 2004) - Kuma\War,
the revolutionary new online game service that allows players
to experience re-creations of real war events weeks after they occur
has released Fallujah
Vigilant Resolve - its latest mission, based on U.S. Marine
combat in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, Iraq.
Taking place in April, Fallujah Vigilant Resolve re-creates key
events in the month-long campaign to flush out insurgents responsible
for the murder of four American civilian contractors. The
online downloadable game occurs as the 1st Marine Expeditionary
Force makes its way into the heart of the city, attempting to throw
a noose around heavily armed insurgents -- including al Qaeda terrorists,
Saddam loyalists, and other anti-American forces. Armed with M-16A2
assault rifles, players employ real-world techniques practiced by
the marines, including improved fighting positions, sniper over-watch
protection, fire-and-maneuver, and well-placed fighting holes to
neutralize the enemy.
"Our key design goal is to provide authentic combat experiences
within a game environment. It's a powerful, emotional, informative
presentation," says Kuma Reality Games CEO Keith Halper. "We
also place these events in context with an original news show, wire
service videos, intel packs, maps and satellite images, and interviews
with decorated military experts. By giving players the opportunity
to play online games based on real events, we provide a unique window
into real war news."
Fallujah Vigilant Resolve features broadband video interviews
with retired Major General Thomas L. Wilkerson (USMC, ret.) and
Sergeant Dan Snyder, formerly of the Marine Corps Modeling and Simulations
Management Office.
In the coming weeks, subscribers can expect to receive more missions
that further explore the explosive situation in Iraq leading up
to the June 30 handover of power, including downloadable game missions
in Baghdad's Sadr City and battling al Qaeda cells in the northern
city of Mosul. The Kuma\War online game service will also portray
the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan and the historic
conflict with Iran.
The Kuma\War online game service is available for free download
and demo at www.kumawar.com or can be purchased for a $9.99 monthly
subscription fee. As a salute to the men and women in uniform who
have served their countries, Kuma Reality Games will donate $1 of
all paid subscriptions to The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which
was created to assist the families of the nation's fallen heroes
killed in duty.
Kuma Reality Games is offering a free online game subscription to
Kuma\War to everyone with a ".mil" email address until
June 30th.
