Operation: "Game Enforcement"
Published 25 November, 2008, 07:12
It is 2009. Several months have passed since the five-day August war in the Caucasus. After Georgia received aid from all of its allies, including NATO, Ukraine and Poland, Russia just couldn't stand by and watch hostile armies form on its borders. It had to retaliate.
Sounds like a likely scenario? Whatever the future may hold, such is the plot of a new Russian computer game entitled “Peace Enforcement”, the very name President Medvedev gave to the peacekeeping operation in the Caucasus.
It is expected that in the one-player version, users will be able to command one of three armies: Russian, Georgian and NATO. The authors promise that the military technology will fully correlate with its factual prototypes. War fleets, antimissile defense systems, unmanned aircrafts and “much more” will be placed under players' control, the makers say.
The multiplayer version will allow teams to control one of five armies from either Russia, US, UK, Germany or…Georgia-Poland (a single country, which remains an unsolved geopolitical mystery within the game). The action will take place on three fronts: one in the Caucasus and two in Europe.
The game is scheduled to be released onto the Russian market until the end of 2008.
