Should You Buy Six Days In Fallujah? - Six Days In Fallujah Review

[@SmokeDog1871]

Played it 5 hours last night, its super challenging and intense. The missions really force you to bond with your team and work together to survive.

[@Shadow__133]

How are the public servers? Randos usually team play?

[@dwatts64]

I love that the magazines only have 28 in them. We never filled up to 30 because it makes the mag such a tight fit that in the heart of the moment you might think the may is seated but it won't seat all the way without really slamming it home unless the bolt is locked back. So you would go to fire and the mag falls out, or you slam it in and risk compromising the magazine. As a result, everyone always filled with 28 rounds, sometimes 29, and the spare couple of rounds would go in a dump pouch or something as top off rounds for later.

[@zipper978]

Not exactly true. I was a Marine in Fallujah. The reason we put 28 rounds was to prevent jams as well as damage to the magazines from having to literally slam the mag to seat it if it was loaded to 30.

[@dwatts64]

@@zipper978 that's what I said, just in a bit more detail.

[@TheRolvaag]

Watching this I realized every fifth shot from your rifle is a tracer round. Very accurate to infantry doctrine

[@rorywatt9752]

To me, it feels like one of those games that are highly detailed and well made, but have very limited replayability. Yes the whole procedural map layout exist, but this isn’t gonna be a game anyone plays every week. I feel like people will sadly play it for a month and get bored

[@MikeSoutham]

yeah, not sure it's worth the asking price at this point.

[@Sams_Gunpowder]

Did y’all really miss out on the randomly generated maps lol nvm

[@D0C391]

I am getting this. I have major respect and love to the people that put in the effort to make this game. Especially the people that were in Fallujah. I wasn’t in OIF, I was in OEF and I’m glad they made a solid game around these time periods.

[@Gledamsve100]

It is crippled by missing the prone stance... decreasing the exposure to enemy fire. This way it is interesting to try 6-7 hours for 2 days... then gets annoying difficult, not fun at all. Many people gave up after 2-3 sessions. ( It could be somewhat better with AI team mates in future... )

[@briankmavpro5246]

The latest updat has added 3 more maps/missions which are more intense. It is a great game if you have the right people on your team. Also the wargame options menu adds for alot of different settings such as night, cloudy, fubar....

[@h1tten1t]

The price is definetely holding me back to get the game.

[@rorywatt9752]

Yeah, it’s certainly full price quality, but not full price in terms of content and replay-ability

[@user-is3ku4tg9onahnotgonna]

I bought it an hour ago and have already refunded, there just isn't enough there for that price.

[@rafterman4662]

But being supported will allow for more game content take hll for instance the content grows ! Until team 17 gets a hold of and everything goes to pot

[@user-is3ku4tg9onahnotgonna]

@@rafterman4662 early access isnt meant to fund development, steams page says that.

[@Shadow__133]

Too much $. Costs more on EA than many AAA finished games.

[@Kil23Joy]

The speed is pretty accurate, because when marines sprinted into house or ally’s they took heavy fire, your movements need to be slow and methodically planned so you don’t walk into a kill box

[@doodmonkey]

This game should develop into something great, but still needs time to bake.

[@pduidesign]

Your friends will hear you on the open mic unless you are far away…then they won’t. If you’re on the first floor and they are on the third floor, you won’t hear each other and you’ll have to use the radio. Also if there are a lot of shooting indoors, it will drown out your communication.

[@MauserGSY]

I love it so far, I spent 2 hours just trying to get down the street on my own last night, never made it.

[@thelifeandtimesofjames4273]

Looks amazing. I very much support characters moving slower in FPS games. Now I need it in ww2.

[@Ollichr]

Hell let loose reminds me a little of it

[@bradsaunders4880]

Great review as always. My brother and I have been keeping an eye on this game for a while and since the recent disappointment of Hell Let Loose, we are looking for a new game. Hoping we don’t have to wait to long for a console release. He served in Afghan and Iraq so I’m sure I’ll be getting long lectures and drunken military training from him, wish me luck. Keep up the good work.

[@thesinaclwon]

I’m getting this. My 2 boys (9&10yo) straight kill at RoN and can’t wait to pop in and see what we can do on six days.

[@Travster93]

Should you buy? 110% yes. Campaign and more features to come, which i hope is the entire stories of these guy's tours in iraq. Feels good for early access and makes me pumped for the full release. Not to mention to stoke nostalgia for every American who grew up with family/friends or who personally experienced the hell that was the iraq war during those times. Regardless of the feelings towards the tragedy that was Iraq, this game is great.

[@monkatron]

I absolutely hate how dark buildings are, like light literally can’t cross the threshold it looks unrealistic and shit.

[@marvellis6762]

Very good looking but one flaw is the background, static and motionless.... no birds or junkyard dogs. Trees and clouds don't budge an inch. All a bit drawn on

[@zombiehampster1397]

I love the concept and i think you're right it was released maybe too early, but it looks great and i think given enough time for more content, will be fun. Plus 4 player coop, you had me at that.

[@Darlexis]

Isnt it advertised as being in Alpha?

[@riverdaletales8457]

They need to add a 10v10 mode with actual players . And a whole new map and a night time version for both .

[@k1ll0raffe]

being on a tigther budget at the moment i was looking what early access release will bring to the table. i´m a sucker for this type of games but just 4 different objectives in the samy area with very limited weapons isn´t enough for me to spend 40 € on it at the moment. too sad because i really wanna play this game but i guess i have to wait another year to really get some bang for my buck...

[@bhhvvbvgyvbuvv]

If price is 10 dollars sure buy it.

[@KenshinRell]

I bought it and played last night and agree with everything you said even the replay ability. I’d recommend buying it for sure.

[@periloustactic]

I have zero experience in ground combat. My heart goes out to those of you that do. I can't imagine the real deal. I've only played the fire team missions in SP. That was a mistake. The realism of this game is scary in a way.

[@gunnerzz1008]

Sound design sounds phenominal!

[@slumplordz]

@terrydactyl i use ''i ems'' in ear monitors or headphones i play tarkov a lot so that's the main reason but i just wanted to inform you and i checked double checked then triple checked your microphone squeals at high volume i highly recommend switching that one is broken and your voice is not clear with that being said im just trying to inform you not be rude. i found this video to be great informative and helpful thank you.

[@Terrydactyl]

I recently got a new microphone and that sound is gone now

[@Eponimo]

Nice review Terra! I’ll wait for full release then 😊

[@b_rob3318]

I wanna get this game but don’t wanna play with randoms who don’t use mic or play like it’s cod. How’s the player base? Do most ppl use mics?

[@rumuelnathanael8043]

I usually play Insurgency Sandstorm hardcore mode without mic and it's still managable for me and only using in-game communication options. Is this game at least have those too?

[@tutunghawlhang15]

Tried it on my bro's pc, the one thing that buggs me is you can't aim down your scope without aiming down the iron sight first it reset every time you aim. Unless I'm missing something it's game breaking to play at it's current state. It would be nice if you could simply change that.

[@Terrydactyl]

I think there is a setting where you can choose a "default sight", or to remember the last used sight

[@gettimabodybag6213]

Perhaps next year when the full game releases alongside console version.

[@lastword8783]

Question, i dont have the game, how do you know where to go or what the objective is?

[@wingfootmcnova9130]

Question. Do the number of enemies scale with your team size or is there just a fixed number? If I play solo or with just one teammate am I going to face the same volume of bots as I would with a full 4 man team? If anyone knows I'd appreciate the info.

[@sunnycat69]

I'm gonna say yes but also if it was available io console. I would have already bought it for myself and several friends. RAH

[@sunnycat69]

Twenty five percent off steam sale right now I just picked it up

[@rf2642]

I bought Ready Or Not and after I played through each map and nothing new was ever added I just didn't have a reason to play. I can see this basically being a repeat. I would possibly buy this right away if they have a sale though. But for $40 big ones I can't justify paying for this early access game at full price. I will say the sound design does seem very good and the game seems like a great immersive CQB Simulator. The map being different every time will keep you on your toes. No memorizing where the enemy will be so that's a plus.

[@JE-ot2zy]

Ready or not has a ton of downloadable maps made by the community though.

[@rf2642]

@@JE-ot2zy I play Ready Or Not for the multiplayer. Currently those community maps can't be played in multiplayer very easily. So they are basically for single player.

[@EpeeNoire]

for a sort of tactical shooter that aims for realistic combat, the way they made the ADS works in terms of their "back-up iron sights" really hurts

[@virtuallyreal5849]

It’s a real technique but should have way more offset.

[@MHG571]

For what it offers right now it does not worth buying it right now! In the future if they add the campaign, AI bots for single play or more units in the squads because in reality, they did not have only 4 soldiers in a squad or platoon but a lot more like 8, 12, or 16. With only 4 Gis you can't do much to clear the buildings and stuff and the insurgents shoot like they all Rambo they never missed and stuff. If they continue working on this game maybe one day would be awesome and worth the 40 now IMO does not worth it.

[@hoggernator1067]

Buy it now when its cheap. Not sure if they would jump up the price

[@virtuallyreal5849]

Probably not, it’s $40

[@tasosgeorgiou3031]

When is coming out for ps5?

[@DownUnder43]

[@JGG3345]

I remember Fallujah, hundreds of civilian trying to escape shot by high calibur sniper rifles by the US.

[@SuicidalChocolateSK]

When trepang2 just released 2 days ago for $30, with a full 4-6 hour campaign, very fun polished experience, and battebit remastered came out for $15 with 127-127 player servers, 17 maps, smooth gameplay, incredible polish for its current progress, massive maps and customization, and then Six Days in Fallujah comes out for $40 with 4 missions, no campaign, no solo AI, buggy, janky and unpolished gameplay, I don't think its worth anyones time unless you REALLY like the concept. Been waiting years for this game and it was just..... disappointed, and that's with low expectations because i know how games are these days. Unfortunate.

[@antwanowens4013]

The issue is the devs should have added Ai teammates before the early release the other issues are not able to pick your missions another issue when using the pistol and trying to clear rooms it’s stiff ass Fuk not realistic at all and why can’t u choice your load out but the graphics sounds is dead on

[@philthemustardtiger]

It's overpriced. For what you get, it's too bare bones. There's really not much there to warrant the current price. Played for 4 hours and feel like I've already seen everything. Considering Insurgency Sandstorm is half the price and offers 10x more...

[@virtuallyreal5849]

They are different experiences. Six days is some of the best cqb of all time. Insurgency is just an clean arcade shooter.

[@timmarkowicz779]

Should I buy it because I'm sick of the HLL bullshit?

[@virtuallyreal5849]

The only similarity is that they both care about historical accuracy. I recommend the game because what’s there is simply the best. It’s very challenging but it does get repetitive.

I have wanted this game for many years, TBH I have not bought it. I think they way overpriced it for what you get. $40 for a peer to peer hosted game and never any mod support? I think the player base will wither very fast. Everyone will get bored doing the same thing over and over. I'm waiting... Had they said, mod support to come in the near future AND give out the source code for dedicated servers, this would be a huge game with a long life. As is, I think it has already peaked and will have a player count in the tens in 3 months. I hope I'm wrong.

[@Terrydactyl]

[@FeralApache]

Love this game! It's very well done unfortunately for myself, my computers parameters do not meet the game requirements so it's a bit glitchy visually and audibly so make sure you have a good gaming system with a high graphics card otherwise it will be a rather choppy game play which will greatly hinder your co-op play as most players have very operable systems. In addition, this guy says you have a pump action shotgun. You do NOT have a pump action shotgun. You have a Benelli M4 semiautomatic shotgun and every Marine is given the M9 Beretta 92FS for a sidearm which is a bit inaccurate as Marine infantryman were never given sidearm. The only Marines that have sidearms are machinegunners, staff NCO's and officers. I was a saw gunner during this exact era and even though the M249 is a machinegun, we weren't even given sidearms. There are a few other things about the game are somewhat unrealistic in respect to the Marine Corps and the combat and challenges we faced at that time such as: red smoke (when we popped smoke it was always gray smoke. The only time we used color smoke was for signaling), in fallujah the Marines were given mass amounts of fragmentation grenades and not just 3 or 4. They filled their dump pouches with frags and fragged just about every room. The 6 magazine thing is bogus as i personally carried at least 14 magazines whenever i carried my M16, and even as a saw gunner, i carried upwards of 800 belted rounds and at least 4 rifle magazines since the saw fires both belted ammunitionas well as M16 magazines. Other inaccuracies are the inability to drag your buddy out of the killzone in the game, the inability to share ammo, being inable to just hop over tiny walls when running through the battle field, among a few others, the enemies overly accurate targeting ability like through smoke and other camouflaging such as trees and other battlefield aspects. Another frustrating thing is that even if you are in a basement of a house, enemy mortars will land exactly where you are which is so far from realistic. However the game is still in development so hopefully they workout the kinks by the time the game officially releases.

Is no one else experiencing terrible graphics? For me there is this white blurry line around most assets especially when turning/moving quickly.
