Hm... i think the trend to take recent conflicts as a base for games is not a good one. i would not want my kids to play a game that tells about recent history, while beeing made by non- historians.
especially in the case of the 90's balkan conflict, there was a huge political agenda pulled off, to make the serbians look like the evil ones.
in fact, there are german documents, used to justify the war back then, that turn out to be complete bollocks if you double check the data. a few examples:
they report of a village, destroyed by the serbian army at a certain date, while in fact, this village was destroyed weeks later, while the war was allready at full scale.
and then there's this thing about serbian soldiers pillaging villages, destroying the houses using a certain method: they are said to have opened the gas bottles in the cellars and to have placed a candle under the roof, so that the whole house would have become some sort of timebomb.
well... as a matter of fact, it has been proven, that this technique just does not work. the gas is heavier than air and thus, would never reach the roof at all...

Except that in this game you actually play a russian fighting with the serbs.

Btw i think it's great they take recent conflicts as a basis for games. I'm goddamn tired of WW2 shooters, i really appreciate the freshness of this.
I'd like to see the next war game situated in the Congo, where the player starts out as a tiny boy who sees his family slaughtered by some savages and then has to take control of the province by slowly becoming a fierce warlord. You could have a genocide button and everything!
