Hopefully the game is going to be better than the movie...

But it looks interesting, and probably is the first game about the conflict after Rambo III. That sure is a hard one to beat.:p

Russian version is called "The truth about 9th company", and developers position their game as a most accurate re-enactment of those events: they worked together with vets from that company, who participated in the battle and they say that at least landscape is done very realistic.

EDIT
Ooh, sorry, I was talking about other game - there will be a tactical FPS about the 9 company. http://www.pravdao9rote.ru/game/screens/

To be honest, I dunno. :)
It will be released soon in Russian, so you guys can dl it (it will be illegal, yes). The publisher is 1C, I guess they could realese it in Eng later.

it's an RTS not fps, basically red alert afgan style.
you wont be able to run around on the field it seems, just controll your men from above.

When will it be released?
Also what is the Russian title of the game, 9 рота?
It's already gone gold, so it will be released in the near future. Russian name is "Правда о девятой роте".

After recently watching the film titled 9th company about the war in Afghanistan, this might be awesome.
Also, anyone who's interested in the topic should rent the movie.

1C published Space Rangers 1 & 2 (Damn you, pelengs!) in english so it is possible.

Anyways, FPS looks very interesting. I hope they aim for dead-'ard realism (like russians would make arcade games ;)). I've hoped for too long to see a game which simulates modern soviet small arms with high-class realism.

Ok, I've completed this game.
As a game, it sucks.
But I think one should look at this as a documentary of that particular battle. If somebody haven't watched "9th company" movie, but is going to, he should be warned - everything was different there, and this game tells you the true story. And in this role this game is interesting, at least for me.
There are interesting photos, documents, videos as a bonus to this game. Plus, in the near future, there will be a documentary movie with the same name.

I didn't take any screenshots, because there is nothing to see - you can play only at that particular height.
But you can check how the game begins here
