Bangladeshi Liberation War Gets FPS Treatment

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday March 23, 2004 @02:17AM from the north-vs-south dept.

Thanks to The Daily Star for its story discussing the creation of Bangladesh's first domestically-created 3D videogame, based on their 1971 War of Independence, in which "you are a freedom fighter and your mission is to liberate your motherland by fighting the Pakistani occupation." The locally important game setting is explained: "The game works with the unique objective of the gamer as a student, farmer or an adolescent freedom fighter who either has to capture a flag from a Pakistani camp or dominate a Pakistani-occupied area in an environment digitally created in close resemblance with three historically-true battlefield -- Akhaura, Chittagong and Rajshahi." The title is hailed as "the first 'First person shooting game' made in Bangladesh", and the game CD also has educational elements, since it "will also feature historical background to the battlefields in 1971, essays, photographs and a chronological account of the War of Liberation."

Yeah, but the game would lead to a real war eventually.

You see, Pakistan would lose the first match in game, and accuse Bangladesh of speedhacking. In the rematch, Pakistan wins and is accused of aimbotting, and they decide to go best two out of three. In the thid match, Bangladesh wins, and Pakistan accuses them of wallhacking this time, and launches their nuclear weapons at them, saying, "Ha! Hack THAT n00b!"
