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.

    Conflict: Denied Ops offers many of the best features that you’ll find in today’s first person shooters, and combines it with an excellent co-op mode and a nice variety of online game modes.

    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.

    Conflict: Denied Ops really feels like a game that was thrown together hastily.

    This game could've used another few months in development so as to iron out the flaws and little glitches, because this entire production feels rushed.

    If you're a fan of Conflict and/or shooters in general, you're likely to find Denied Ops shallow and dull. The two-man control system doesn't work properly. The visuals are ugly. The script is sub-Armageddon. Yes, it's easy to pick up and play. But if you're after an experience with real challenge and depth, you won't want to.

    Sticking unwanted attitude onto a couple of characters doesn't create empathy -- developers should've learned that from the '90s.

    The machine gun fires with the same "oomph" that you'd expect if you were firing a pellet gun. There's no power to the shots.

    Для начала скажу, что это    Sorry, I cant type it in English. Just, I'm out of symbols. Please use the google translaitor. Sorry for troubles!
    Для начала скажу, что это одна из первых купленных мной игр в далеком детстве, но поэтому я попытаюсь быть максимально объективным.
    Достоинства:
    1 - Геймплей максимально казуальный: у главных героев бесконечные патроны к основному оружию, так же в игре всего две пушки - это снайперская винтовка у первого персонажа (Грейвс) и пулемет у второго персонажа (Лэнг) и по пистолету у каждого. Очень скудный арсенал, но это я отмечу в недостатках. Однако, главные герои по прохождении миссий будут получать новое вооружение (Гранатометы, дробовики и.т.д.), все это будет выражено в качестве "улучшений" для оружия", которых очень много. Сами же миссии максимально разнообразные, хоть и короткие. Вам будет предоставлена управление различной техникой, перестрелки в городе, стелс-миссии и много еще чего. Честно говоря, бездумно бегать и стрелять не надоедает. Искусственный интеллект напарника, конечно мог бы быть лучше, но он и не так плох, чтобы раздражать. Если вы ищите короткую игру, чтоб просто побегать и пострелять без сложностей, то эта игра для вас.
    2 - Саундтрек: В игре прекрасная музыкальная составляющая. Мне сложно сказать что-то больше, просто хочу отметить, что саундтрек сильный и запоминающийся.
    3 - Графика: Не знаю как графика в игре ощущалась в 2008 году, но в 2022 я не вижу в ней ничего плохого.
    4 - Персонажи: Лэнг и Грейвс как главные герои не плохи, хоть и пусты из-за лени сценариста. За них забавно играть и иногда их диалоги действительно могут повеселить. На роль типичных персонажей боевиков они идеально подходят.
    Недостатки:
    1 - Сюжет: О боже мой... В этой игре сюжет чуть ли не отсутствует, а те капли истории, что нам даны - ужасны. Игра переполнена банальной историей про двух бравых американских "героев", которые в очередной раз сражаются с терроризмом и злыми русскими (О нет, как же не банально!). В начале каждой миссии нам дают краткий экскурс о задании и кат-сцену, на этом все, поэтому общая цель для игрока теряется и ты лишь помнишь, что есть какой-то главный злодей Президент Венесуэлы и все.
    2 - Искусственный интеллект противников: Тут нечего говорить, противники это просто мальчики для битья, которые неплохо попадают по тебе начиная со второго уровня сложности. А так они могут в упор не увидеть игрока на стелс-миссии или наоборот учуять тебя на другом конце карты.
    3 - Слабое вооружение: Как я сказал ранее, разнообразия орудий убийств ничтожно мало, даже гранат всего 2 типа и только один из них нормально работает.

    Из всего сказано можно сделать вывод, что игра отнюдь не так плоха как ее приняли игроки в 2008 году.
    Объективно говоря игра заслуживает 6-7/10 , но я хочу, чтобы мой отзыв был положительным так что поставлю 8/10..    … Expand

One person plays as a heavy machine-gunner, and the other, as a weakling sniper, working together to shoot chumps and survive. What more could you ask for in a military-style FPS?

    There is a nice, long, challenging co-op campaign specifically designed for two players, with a satisfying level of gore and excellent graphical effects. The on-screen effects for getting injured present a convincing illusion of receiving pain.

    REALLY enjoyed how the game doesn't immediately force you to end when you kill friendly people with collateral damage. For that reason, this Conflict: Denied Ops is better than any Call of Duty/Modern Warfare game. When killing friendly characters is forbidden by a game engine, it's a sure sign of over-produced, carebear hand-holding that reduces player freedom and truly breaks immersion.

    Since playing Conflict: Denied Ops, I've been desperately seeking more graphic, split-screen co-op FPSs with friendly-fire, like this. Sadly, most FPSs these days are too high budget to allow players to feel like pioneers and do things the designers didn't intend.    … Expand

I bought it on a whim and luckily for me my friend works at Gamestop so I was able to return it. I think this game would have been below average on last gen console and the fact its supposed to be current/next gen is a disgrace. Eidos has completely fallen off and now they really aren't even an average developer. The whole mechanic of this game was awful, switching back and forth between a sneaky faster player and a stronger rock. Also, the story, voice acting, character models and weak gameplay makes this the number 1 bomb thus far in 2008.… Expand

    The two players are split up constantly but the sniper can't really defend himself from close range, so what's he to do? The sniper rifle isn't very powerful either.
    Apart from that the gameplay is pretty standard and the game has nothing going for it.
    The best thing I can say about this game is that the gameplay/controls work fine.    … Expand

Having 2 guys isn't enough, it's stupid to play, the A.I is atrocious, and it's just grating to even look at, let alone play.
