Gaming News - September 2004
New York, NY (September 1, 2004) - Kuma\War has launched its first
mission in the Freedom’s Heroes series to pay tribute to Army Ranger Corporal
Patrick Tillman, who was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart, and all of
the U.S. Army Rangers who continue to fight to protect our nation’s freedoms.
From Kuma\War:
Re-creating stories of individuals who have been honored for their heroism,
the first mission to launch in the series, Freedom’s Heroes: Rangers Lead the
Way, features the unit that Patrick Tillman served in and demonstrates the
difficult job that U.S. Army Rangers face daily. These elite teams have been
operating in small units and often behind enemy lines along the Eastern
Afghanistan, Pakistani border since the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom.
In this mission, you are with the US Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment operating near
Spera, Afghanistan when well-armed unyielding Taliban and al Qaeda fighters
ambush your convoy. You must repel the attack and then move into the mountains
to take the fight to the enemy, all while dealing with severe terrain and
restrictive light conditions.
In addition to the playable mission, Kuma also provides a video news show that
provides expert military analysis, historical context and an in depth look at
the U.S. Rangers.
“We developed the Freedom’s Heroes Series to highlight the exemplary actions of
the brave men and women who have chosen to serve their country,” said Keith
Halper, CEO Kuma Reality Games. “By enabling players to step into the boots of
these heroic men and women, we hope they gain a better understanding of the
skills and sacrifice of soldiers like Corporal Patrick Tillman.”
