About This Game

*This is a single player only title*

Venezuela is left in a state of civil war after the government was brutally overthrown by a military coup. With factions fighting to reinstate democracy, the U.S. government has offered their assistance, though the new government regime has threatened to deploy nuclear weapons if the U.S. meddles in Venezuelan affairs. The threat needs to be neutralized, and the U.S can't risk nuclear war.

The CIA Special Activities Division operates in isolation and secrecy. If captured, any link with the U.S. Government will be denied.

Conflict: Denied Ops is a highly accessible FPS featuring massive, extremely explosive firefights across destructible environments. Work as a team to utilize the specific skills of each operative and experience the ultimate in destructive satisfaction with tons of exploding objects and an endless barrage of terrorists who are begging to be blown to hell.

This game is a big piece of shit. From console to computer. The story and upgrades aren't bad, but that's it. 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 also terribly inaccurate, and both are slow as turtles in almost everything. The game is unbalanced, buggy garbage. If they had fixed it, I would have looked like something.

There are only a few weapons you can shoot, but none of them feel great and just about everything is as formulaic as possible. The AI of the companion is downright broken and will sometimes just stop behind you to stare at a wall and the enemies will often weirdly try to run to you to beat you down. There are a bunch of missions and some semblance of a story that I can't even remember anymore. There are vehicles that handle like a cardboard box in the wind and the hit detection of their guns are way off. It's like someone made a serious fps based on the "Duty Calls" parody game.

It's difficult to figure out where to start but, let me try and summarise this game. Conflict: Denied Ops, is a bottom of the barrel, bottom of the bargain bin FPS made by a dev team that clearly had no idea how to make a shooter. Not only are the controls a disaster, the concept is tired even when they were trying this, and the story is almost non-existent, the level design is just atrocious, and the entire structure of the singleplayer campaign is just garbage. Basically, they messed up everything you can imagine that it is possible to mess up. EVERYTHING is bad. So let's talk about the shooting itself since it's the most important. It is genuinely almost impossible to shoot enemies in this game. You might be wondering what I am talking about - it's a shooter, so you just aim and click right? Well, yes, except, first up they decided that aim down sights should be LEFT SHIFT instead of RMB, and they clearly didn't think much of aiming, or understand how to make ADS feel good, becau...
