Special Force 2: Tale of the Truthful Pledge is a computer game based on the 2006 Lebanon War between Hezbollah and Israel, produced by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The game is a follow-up to Special Force, a game released by Hezbollah in 2003. It is available in Arabic.[1] An unofficial patch adds English language.[2]
Special Force 2 is a first-person shooter (FPS) set in a 3D environment rendering the scenery and architecture of Southern Lebanon, in which the player takes the role of a Hezbollah fighter. Resource management plays a vital part in the game.[3][4][5][6][7]
On August 16, 2007, it was announced that the game was ready for release.[8] It is being sold for the equivalent of about US$10 and hundreds of copies were reportedly reserved before the launch.[9]
Inspection of the game files reveals that it is a mod for Far Cry made into a standalone game.
