For a co-op oriented FPS made 10 years ago - Conflict: Denied Ops is surely not that bad, as the most of reviews for it here on Steam. In fact, I like the game. Despite all the usual stupidness of scenario, voicing, AI behavior and so on. But... the servers are closed, multiplayer is dead, and the game ain't popular (like Kane & Lynch 1/2, for example), so I doubt it's gonna get many positive marks from the new age …

This is the latest in the Conflict series of 1st person shooter games, that really were designed as co-op campaign games. While the game-play and storyline may seem familiar, the controls and overall feel are streamlined and the graphics are the best they've ever been, especially with the "Puncture Tech" technology, which maintains background damage while you play each level. Pros: Very cheap at retail. Fairly …

Let me explain, I have great memories of the first 4 conflict games from my childhood. I went back and played them recently and although they have their problems, they're finely crafted squad based shooters that make you think a little and manage resources (mostly in global terror). I see now why this game killed the series for good. Just about anything you can think of that made the other conflict games great is …

This game just made me sick after almost an hour of playing. No exact story. You donnu what the hell is happening. kill enemies BANG BANG OOOOH WHAT AN FPS GAME. Horrible gameplay. They don't even pay attention to the basic rules of an fps game. Why the fuck should I aim with "Shift"? No sprinting? ok. No Jump? WTF?! And what the fuck is that sensitivity while aiming?

41% of the 175 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Conflict: Denied Ops. The complaint that keeps coming up: buddy AI is dumb and requires constant orders. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. It was criticized for its unoriginal and generic gameplay and broken co-op system. In Japan, where the game was ported for release under the name Double Clutch (ダブルクラッチ, Daburu Kuratchi), then published by Spike for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions on September 11, 2008, and by E Frontier for the PC version on January 16, 2009, Famitsu gave the first two console versions each a score of all four sixes for a total of 24 out of 40.

Jamal is pretty racist against whites which i find insulting considering i identify myself as a white Apache Helicopter. However the game is a tactical shooter. Which, to be fair, is pretty gay. The controls work fine for me. The game is as generic as it gets. Kill russians and people with dark hair and scream stupid sh*t while listening to your weirdly calm commander. Awesome.

Maybe all the reviewers are born after 2010 because sure, this game is old but it plays fine on modern systems, the controls are a little different but nothing unplayable and the gameplay is fine, just a standard fps of that era. Yeah, the story is the classic "America saves the world with their super soldiers" but its ok, it has some jokes and "bromance" here and there. The game isnt that much well written as you can expect but on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completely generic, clunky controls, abyssmal buddy AI, and graphics that look 4 or 5 years too old for the release date. You -might- have fun if you play it with a friend via LAN or VPN, but even then, it's that "this was bad but it was fun to experience it together" type of fun.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm 12 years late to reviewing this game. But I would still like to express my enormous disdain for this entry in the Conflict series. I've played the series since the beginning. As a kid, starting with Conflict Desert Storm, moving on to Back to Baghdad. Playing the Vietnam entry, and years later, knocking out Global Storm. While I lost a bit of faith in the series after Global Storm, pulling away from the idea of clandestine operations conducted by legitimate US or British special forces…

If you're like me and played B-grade shooters back in the day, which had OK implementation of an interesting mechanic, enjoyed them for what they were despite a lack of quality in some areas then this is the game for you. It's in the vein of Shadow Ops: Red Mercuy, Spec Ops: The Line, Blacksite: Area 51, Sniper Ghost Warrior series etc. You have two agents, you control one in first person while the other is controlled by an AI. IF you do Co-op each…

However it takes age to aim and shooting without aiming is extremely lacking of accuracy, which forced me to use machine gun. AI is quite dumb you have to keep giving order or the other guy will not follow you up. I guess I meet a bug just right at 1st mission, where I steal a penzer however the other agent dies on the way chasing the penzer, which requires me go…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surpisingly good action-war game. ♥♥♥♥♥ Special Ops. I didn't played this part after OG Conflict Desert Storms but it turned out- this is good tho. Graphics are better than on store shots, physics and enemies AI are surprisingly good. I see we can complete missions around the world in any order you want. Feels like Call of Duty but not too scripted. Teamplay of gameplay. Give order. Flank. Strike. Attack. Nice animation happens when enemies are dead your comrade checks them if they alive by…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its fun, and the detail in this game is surprisingly amazing, if you can forgive the outdated graphic offcourse. while each character can only use their weapon (meaning you can only use like 4 diferent type of weapon) their weapon is capable do multiple thing with over the top attachment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is... inexplicable. I guess it can maybe be chalked up to being a poor port. The control scheme is nonsense for a modern shooter, mouse sensitivity maintains between zoom levels so it's impossible to sharp aim, the game forces 4:3 aspect ratio and has a strange maximum resolution. Others have said the sound doesn't work, though I haven't had any problems with it. The coop aspect used GameSpy, so I think that's out without a patch. Very weird, just not worth playing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, 2007 was the very beginning of this industry. The developers were adding all possible features to their games. Only the best of them successfully passed the time test and became usual for us. I might call this "a nice one", if we were in 2007. Sorry, but despite my respect for old games, this one is too wooden.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a good a shooter. On the positive side the maps and texture work are okay though the game only uses simple graphics which can hamper enemy detection at a distance. The enemy opposition can even be challenging at moments. The game has many negative aspects like unsaved checkpoints, failing hit detection, stupid story and your teammate which may die at any moment. The worst aspect of this game is the clunky combat. The dancing crosshair makes aiming a challenge. You cannot sprint so running…

Me saying this as a title of arcade game, is not saying that it is an arcade game, it reminds me so much of the games you find in the arcade where you have the toy pistol and you eliminate enemies and it pans to the next scene and seeing how long you can last. It reminds me of this due to how the game looks, the bobbing of the gun and the movement of characters that you play.

The splash damage is an illusion, the accuracy is terrible, even if the enemy is in front of you, they are as durable as a balloon, and the enemy is in a T-shirt, pants and sandals and is more durable, and if they fought with pillows, they would be more dangerous than the characters in the game. The white one is a bit more accurate but very slow, the black one is faster shooting but is…

The destructible environments are fun as hell and the amount of explosions would put Michael Bay to shame.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please, do not buy this. I beg of you reader. It ended an entire series and they removed everything that made the series great. Not even a tactical shooter, it's just a janky COD-like game with no pros. The campaign is about 4 hours long, but I was a fool trying to play this on the hardest difficulty. In case you're wondering, it's not any better on easy, it's still a janky unresponsive mess.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ignore the haters - this is a 13 year old cheap game but if you like fun FPS shooters before the days of everything being multiplayer PVP madness this game could be for you - the ability to switch between two characters (one a sniper the other a heavy weapons specialist) kept the game fun & interesting throughout the campaign. You can send the alt character you are not playing to anywhere you can see with a simple right click & call them back to you by holding the right click down & just press…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's subpar and not a great game. I suppose it could work as a time waster or a game if you don't have any others, but it's hard to get past the cheesy voice acting and the horrible ai and buddy system. Game is barely worth the 0.49 i paid for it. Avoid this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was mediocre in 2008, it's worthless in 2020, there's far better games for free (and this one's not even free). The only positive I can say about it is that it's marginally better than the Conflict Desert Storm that came out in 2002, six years earlier.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a MASSIVE surprise - in the best way possible, even more surprising considering it's a game from 2008. As far as I can tell, it might even be better than your usual Call of Duty. What Conflict: Denied Ops did surprise me in are the features you wouldn't find in a basic campaign shooter. Here's a list of what I've been able to scrounge up so far: - A story - Some funny dialogue - Multiple missions available, not a constricted list - Two playable characters the player can switch…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though Conflict is a old and somewhat decent franchise, and also despite the fact that i didn't play much of this game. The bad controls and the horrible gameplay are worse then a acutal generic FPS. Avoid this game at all costs. Its not even good enough to have charm. Or to even play it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Never have I ever given a review on steam and I have 130 games and tons of hours, but this game got me, utter ♥♥♥♥, dont accept it even if it comes for free. Play some other Eidos game, every thing from eidos is better than this.
