I haven't played it but it seemed kind of meh based on the videos I've seen and the stuff I've read.
It seemed like another piece of media trying to shove the "war is bad" message down society's throat for the umpteenth time. Otherwise, it was a mediocre shooter in terms of gameplay.
So what is it about this game that generated such a following? Nothing about it to me screams "cult classic" and most of the reviews for it were below average, so I don't understand.
Please, enlighten me.
Edit: ...I saw white phosphorus...why would anyone willingly make a game like this...? The word "game" seems like an inappropriate word to use...
F[i]u[/i]ck the dev studio that made this.

Boy you got to actually play it to know why it's good. Everyone, from the people you shoot has a story behind them. Everything you do has an cost behind it. The game essentially lays out some candy then yanks you on chain when you try to get it and says "wow, I thought you were going on a diet?!". Also the game has an insane amount of detail, over time your gear starts to wear down and so do the crews moral. Also the loading screens, they go from telling you info that you usually ignore, to straight out this
