In July 2006,
Kuma\War 2 was released, featuring improved graphics (based on the
Source engine) and an expanded online multiplayer environment. The first mission re-creates the killing of
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Game missions First released in 2004,
Kuma\War now features over 120 missions, known as "episodes". While many episodes are drawn from the
Iraq War, Kuma has also re-created events from
Afghanistan,
Iran,
South Korea (a 1996 raid by
North Korean commandos),
Vietnam (
John Kerry's
Silver Star mission),
Sierra Leone (
Operation Barras) and
Mexico (a battle between Mexican soldiers and
drug cartels). The first mission of the game (named "Uday and Qusay's Last Stand") is the battle in which the two sons of
Saddam Hussein,
Uday and
Qusay, are killed. The attack is described as "a turning point in
Operation Iraqi Freedom" and "a milestone in the
war on terror". Other significant episodes include "John Kerry’s Silver Star", "Fallujah: Operation al Fajr", and "Osama 2001: Tora Bora." The main distinguishing feature in Kuma\War is its extensive background information for each mission, which includes satellite photos, original articles and a multimedia library.
Osama bin Laden and the end of Kuma\War In May 2011, Kuma Games released Kuma\War 2's 107th mission: a recreation of the
death of Osama bin Laden. Later in October 2011, Kuma Games released the 108th, and as of 2013, final mission for
Kuma/War 2, a recreation of the Fall of Sirte and the
death of Muammar Gaddafi. ==Gameplay==
