Hey, thanks UK counter-terrorism unit. I hadn't heard of this game before and it looks fun enough to justify spending $5 on it.

Surprisingly good reviews for something that doesn't look like a very good game, and is more of a political statement than a game.

It's definitely not like COD in that it uses real-world events and factions, and not in a fictionalized setting.
