Gamers are being given the chance to take part in the daring special forces raid on Osama Bin Laden's secret hideout just ONE WEEK after he was shot dead in real life.
In a quickly drawn up replica of the al-Qaeda monster's compound, players arrive by Black Hawk just like the Navy Seals did only seven days ago to finally avenge the deaths of the terror chief's victims.
Episode 107 of the game known as KumaWar was quickly generated to reflect the latest development in the war on terror.
In it a grey-haired Osama is hunted by the elite special forces squad which pumped two bullets into his head and chest last Sunday.
Gamers can lead the elite unit into a virtual version of his guarded hideaway in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and claim the kill for themselves.
The free online game based on the war on terror has been running for seven years.
In that time 20million people have signed up for battles which are introduced to reflect the real-life developments of the war.
Other episodes have featured the invasion of Afghanistan, the hunt for hanged Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and the search for weapons of mass destruction.
Kuma's CEO Keith Halper told the Hollywood Reporter: "We read the same published reports as everyone else, though I suspect with a different eye.
"Since we have to reproduce events in 3D we care deeply about esoteric details like distances, heights, vegetation, furniture and the like that have to be re-created in the game.
"Sounds — dogs barking, helicopters' orbits, pyrotechnics — those are important too. It's all available in the public sources, and there was a tremendous amount of data released.
"But the magic is in piecing together the details from the million little clues in order to create a convincing 3D environment."
He said it was the perfect way to offer people closure on one of the most drawn-out manhunts in history.
"Bin Laden was a bad man, and people feel relieved that he is gone. To be able to recreate his death is just an added bonus." - www.thesun.co.uk
