Why have there been no guerrilla warfare games?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but why have there been no guerilla warfare games?

I think it would be pretty sweet to play as a squad of guerilla's using vantage points to take out your enemies, being out-numbered but still being victorious, and having to conserve ammo because of the lack of funding.

Sure, it might not sound very fun or appeal to some people, but it could still be executed very well with the proper developer.
And example would be the guerilla Afghans (supplied by the United States, Bin Laden was actually an ally with the U.S. at this time) fighting against the invading Soviets during the Cold War.

Or it could be a fictional war, either way would work.

Does anyone think this would be a good switch-up from World War II games?

What about every generic FPS when one man manages to mow down thousands of enemies. Would that include as outnumbered but still victorious ?

The cream of FPS devs tend to be american. and i doubt that many of them would be brave enough to depict warfare like that, especially considering the beating they got in vietnam and are getting in iraq

it would be commercial suicide

First off, you'd have a squad because they travel in squads/groups.

Secondly, it would be realistic because its a warfare game.

Thirdly, you'd be fighting for a certain country (in YOUR homeland because they usually are repelling enemy invasions).

Fourthly, funding would be poor so you wouldn't be firing thousands of rounds per level or having heat-seeking missiles or tanks everywhere.

And lastly, it would require quite a bit of stealth to gain the upper-hand in combat on your opponents.

I deleted my two prior posts to consolodate them here...

360_Degrees, it sounds to me that you definitely should look at Freedom Fighters for the original Xbox (also on PS 2, I think the Gamecube, and possibly the PC as well), as well as Operation: Flashpoint Cold War Crisis and its expansion packs (especially the pack focusing on a small nation's resistance to a Soviet armed incursion and occupation) for the PC and Xbox (not sure if the expansions are on the Xbox version though)

GRAW. 

The only way I could think of a Guerilla style game being developed without resorting to slaughtering American soldiers would be if they were to make a game in which we played as native's armed with spears and wooden shields fighting against the superior invaders who had muskets and cannons. That would require Guerilla warfare, you could lay traps around the land and stuff. It could be set around 100 years ago when the British, Potugese and Spanish were attempting to colonise the world.dave_ps3

Uh, not exactly.

Afghans (who were supplied by the US) against Soviets.

American Revolution (against the Brits, as mentioned above).

Soviets vs Nazi's (like in the beginning of Call of Duty 2)

Vietnam vs United States (although it would sell like crap)

Or a fictional war/futuristic war. It CAN be done.

And I'll definitely check out that Freedom Fighters game, thanks.

Yeah, as I was making this post I was thinking about GRAW.

Although in GRAW, you are invading Mexico to liberate it, and you are supplied with a ridiculous amount of high-tech guns (not a bad thing, just not what guerilla's are usually equipped with).

But that ****of squad-based action and realism is what I had in mind.

What the... someone actually revived a six year old thread?!

Nevertheless, I think it's a good idea. Playing guerillas fighting against professional armies would be pretty cool. It could be like a stealth survival game, as has been mentioned above.

However, considering the so-called "War on Terror" still going on, I doubt any North American or Western European developers will have the guts to make a game like that. However, there's nothing preventing Asian, Eastern European or Latin American developers from having a go, like that Gesta Final game posted above.
