There were some soldiers who when asked said they had no problem with a historically accurate and realistic game; many even included that there are possible benefits to the game including greater understanding of the stresses of war and training new recruits in the rules of engagement. Unfortunately however these soldiers aren’t out stumping for the game, so the publicity circling is still vastly negative.

Faced with endless complaints, petitions and accusations of poor taste Konami has decided to save face and pull out of the project. Despite the fact that developer Atomic Games collaborated with soldiers via diaries and satellite images to get the game as close to the actual events of the battle as possible none of its detractors seemed to think there could be any validity to the game.

Unfortunately, it turns out that the game has been cancelled, as revealed by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu’s game release schedule. The game was removed from the listing, with a small note mentioning the game was canned.

While there is no official word from Capcom about the matter, it is safe to assume that the game will not be seeing light.
