Angered by the previous 'Assault on Iran', the Union of Islamic Student Societies of Iran hit back yesterday by the official debut of Special Operation: Rescue the Nuke Scientist. [YouTube]

Personally, I think this is the best kind of [propaganda] war ever: Propaganda points for the radicals, free FPS's for the rest of us!

Reminds me of the last minute of this. Though, on the whole, I vastly prefer propaganda wars. More media, less actual bloodshed.

It would be great if future global conflicts could be waged via armies playing first-person shooters.

It would be great if future global conflicts could be waged via armies playing first-person shooters. On behalf of the U.S., I hereby call dibs on Fatal1ty.

Fair's fair. It was much easier for the Iranians to develop this though, as the US already created a lot of artificial intelligence to control their Iraq deployment.

Clearly, we need to abolish war and settle all our differences using FPS games.

Or giant nerf tanks. Either or.

I would suggest settling differences via Katamari Damacy, but that would interfere with my plans for actually rolling up the world into a giant ball of shogi pieces, paper cranes, trophies, and shrieking schoolchildren.

The funny thing is, I don't think many games have used the middle east for a setting for a while. Aside from it being a little creepy during an actual war there, it had became cliched.
