i've been playing syrian warfare again since it suddenly became topical. i wanted to know if anyone could locate the home village of the main character. i know a lot of the levels in the game and especially the dlc are pretty directly based on real places. it's said to be somewhere "on the outskirts of aleppo governate", but that was originally in russian and some of the other descriptions in game are slightly off. mission where you lose it to al nusra is set sometime in the first half of 2012, i think april-july period, and the mission in the dlc where you liberate it is somewhere after april 25th 2018 and before october 2018. here's a rough composite image i got from combining a bunch of screengrabs, i'm not good with unreal extractions.
