Kuma\War Launches Iran Hostage Rescue Mission Part 2Posted on Friday, May 21, 2004 @ 02:56:41 am E.S.T
Kuma\War, the revolutionary new online game
service that allows players to experience real world events through advanced
gaming technology, has launched its newest mission, Iran Hostage Rescue Part
2. Based on the April 24, 1980 failed attempt to rescue 53 American
hostages held in Tehran, the Iran Hostage Rescue Mission Part 2 offers
players the opportunity to execute the Pentagonıs actual plan to storm the
American embassy and to bring the hostages home.
Based on interviews with former CIA officers and expert military analysis,
Kuma\War re-creates the Iran hostage rescue mission as it was intended to
occur. The plan was astounding: After flying from Desert One to the edge of
Tehran, dozens of US commandos would enter the embassy, neutralize the
radical Iranian students, and free the hostages. While AC-130 Spectre
Gunships circled overhead, navy helicopters were to land in the middle of
the Iranian capital to evacuate the team and the 53 hostages. Any team
members left in Teheran were to fight their way out of the area, steal cars
if possible, and make their way to the Soviet border.
³Kuma\War players will feel as if they were actual participants in this
critical event² said Keith Halper, CEO of Kuma Reality Games. ³Using game
tools, we make complex and dangerous missions like the Iran Hostage Rescue
mission understandable to American citizens. I believe our players gain a
keener understanding and appreciation for the challenges and dangers our
military men and women face every day.²
In the coming weeks, subscribers can expect to receive more missions that
explore the intense battles in Fallujah, with the Sadr militia, and
elsewhere in Iraq, as well as simulating breaking news as it occurs around
the world.
