  • Summary: When the US government needs to act, but can not afford to be associated with the operation, deniable operatives are dispatched. Members of the unit must bear no identity; no objects, papers or clothing that could associate them with the government. Their task is to do anything necessary, no matter how ruthless, to dissolve the threat. Conflict: Denied Ops puts players in control of two of these merciless operatives, each of them highly specialized in both weapons and military tactics. With gameplay focused on accessible two-man tactics, utilize simple commands and switch seamlessly between team mates to lay down covering fire, explore diverging paths, create distractions and pin the enemy under fire. Making full use of Pivotal's Puncture Technology, Conflict: Denied Ops features a highly destructible environment, allowing players to utilize tactics such as shooting through walls to create sniping holes or blasting open new paths to take the enemy by surprise. Fighting for a good cause, does not mean they have to play by the rules. Brutalize the opposition, blast down buildings, and destroy everything in true Hollywood fashion – all throughout politically sensitive areas across South America, Africa and Russia.

  1. While the title lacks a certain quality that is normally associated with next-gen titles, I found that despite its few shortcomings it is a very enjoyable game for the most part.
  2. Conflict: Denied Ops isn’t going to set the world on fire. The game isn’t worthwhile by yourself (mostly because the little friendly AI issues add up and the enemy AI’s annoyance factor is multiplied when you’re dealing with it alone), but if you’re going to play it with a friend, it provides a guilty pleasure.
  3. It will scratch that itch if you’re looking for nothing more than some mindless gunplay mixed with dangerous doses of testosterone, but there’s nothing going on upstairs. And for a tactical shooter, that’s not going to cut it.
  4. Not the worst FPS on 360, but it's a clear second place. Nowhere near good enough. [Apr 2008, p.68]

    Bought the game on Friday and played the online Co-Op Campaign, absolutely fantastic. At last a proper Co-Op FPS.

    Hey, this is a great game, at least in my opinion. I enjoyed all the conflict games by pivotal. The single player is cool, and the split screen coop is fun. Expand

    Not quite as bad as some of the reviewers are making it out to be, but still nothing to write home about. There are way too many great FPS�39;s on 360 to justify buying this... just go get Call of Duty instead. Expand

    The worst in the conflict series,and first on next gen, rushed and amateurish. Just about the worst shooter I have played on 360.
