Bradley sets out to rescue his partner from imprisonment. He manages to do it, and afterwards they undermine the bridge. In twenty-four hours, the small nation is under complete siege. The Iraqi army cut off the city from the rest of the country in an attempt to eliminate Emir. But a squad of 3 agents gets to him and takes him to Saudi Arabia. The attacking country gradually loses troops, and the attack on Kuwait is considered foiled.
However, according to US Central Command, , Iraqi soldiers were killed, while close to half a million others were either wounded, taken prisoner or were courting execution for desertion. Shocking figures indeed, but no more impressive than your typical PC game. The time seemed right. Consequently, Conflict: Desert Storm has become something of an interactive hot potato.
The game we are concerned with today is far less controversial than you might I imagine, considering current events. As with most PC games it offers a S more sanitised version of history based loosely on actual operations. Those of you expecting the Cold War realism of Operation Flashpoint may be a little disappointed. Desert Storm is an action game through and through, one that measures health out of a hundred, where you play the good guys, kill the bad guys and get to run across lots of sand.
Instead, we've gone for a fun-based game that allows you to take a few hits before being knocked out. I for one am relieved, although since we saw more of Kate Adie than anyone else on the battlefield, it will be strange reliving the conflict without reporters bringing up the rear. Sure enough, as I played through beta code a couple of days later, a helicopter flew over my squad.
Needless to say they never filed their next report. Originally posted by Squidyier :. Gurkhan View Profile View Posts. Originally posted by Gurkhan :. Can I join this Coop fest?

For example the SAS are very adept at everything; each soldier is familiar with most weapons and can patch up a wounded colleague. Setting the game behind enemy lines makes a lot of sense, especially since the actual ground war in the desert only lasted a couple of days. By the time the tanks rolled across the Saudi border, the job of the special forces was all but done. For them the conflict lasted for weeks rather than hours and was rather more taxing than taking thousands of prisoners.
Plus, we have classic Scud hunting missions, and wetop it all off with a deep insertion into Iraq to take out a high-ranking Iraqi general in his heavily guarded fortress. You can tell the other men to follow you, go to any position you can see in the game world, get them to crouch, crawl, fire at will or set up ambushes. Once the front guys are in position, the heavy weapons and sniper guy can be quickly called up or moved into new positions using the order system. Moreover there are mines, grenades, mounted machine guns, Stinger missiles and the option to call in artillery or air strikes.
While the version of the game we played had very impressive team Al, that of the enemy was rather static.
