I am a big fan of shooters on PC; I typically prefer them to be of the first person variety. I have played some third person shooters and often times the controls are the weak link in third person titles. Konami has announced a new third person shooter is in development that could be the most realistic shooter ever produced.

The game is to be called Six Days in Fallujah and is based on historically accurate data from the battle for Fallujah during the Iraq war. The battle for Fallujah was the largest urban battle in 40 years. Konami says that to develop the game 32 US Marines were involved and the development team used battle plans, after action reports, photos, videos, and satellite maps of the area to add unmatched realism.

The game puts players into combat as the leader of a Marine fire-team fighting the insurgency. Players will be able to blow up objects to shape the battlefield and eliminate enemy cover. Players will also be able to team up with other fire-team members in co-op and online modes. The game will be released on the Xbox, PC, and PS3.
