Conflict: Desert Storm II: Back to Bagdad Hints IV (PS2)

Conflict: Desert Storm II: Back to Bagdad is a video game developed by Pivotal Games Ltd and published by SCi Games Inc. It was created for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony, the original Xbox from Microsoft, the PC and the Game Cube; it was released in 2003. It is classed as an action title with shooter elements, played from a third person perspective, with some of its key moments inspired by real history.

Conflict: Desert Storm II: Back to Bagdad is a squad based shooter that largely follows the gameplay mechanics of the first release in the series. You are in charge of a group of soldiers that are sent out to fight against the Iraqi forces that protect tyrant Saddam Hussein. You control a wide array of weapons that can be used to clear out the enemy and more vehicles are available to drive around. The graphics have been updated, with the bleak desert environments now presented in greater detail. The differences are more cosmetic; gameplay is mostly the same as in the previous title.

The game got rather mediocre reviews because it had not done anything to separate itself from the numerous squad based shooters that came out in the same period. If you are looking for a nice action title on which to spend a couple of hours, you can give it a try, but don't expect anything extraordinary from Conflict: Desert Storm II: Back to Bagdad.

 

GAMEPLAY HINTS

 

Air Cover: Two tanks at last SAM

At the last SAM, there is a tank behind a building. This is after the conveyer belts. Have Bradley pick up an Iraqi gun earlier in the mission. When you reach the tank behind the building, give this weapon to Foley so that he and Connors can cover the door where the conveyer belts are located. Once that is done, tell Jones to follow you to the entrance leading outside but do not go outside yet. Use Bradley's Grenade Gun by going to your inventory and pressing R1(2) on the Colt Machine gun. Shoot the grenade near the building with the steel structure. The tank will then come out, but hide behind the steel structure. Switch to your regular gun and start shooting the Iraqis that come out of the building. After that, throw a smoke grenade so that you can get to the barrier without the tank shooting you. Switch back to the Grenade Launcher on your Colt machine gun and shoot the SAM hidden behind the truck to your right. You will have completed that objective. Then, go to your left slightly to where you will see a shadowy passageway. Shoot your Grenade Launcher over to that area. Instantly, another tank will appear. Switch back to the Colt machine gun's burst fire. You should have picked up RPGs near the beginning of the mission. Throw a smoke grenade or two and fire your RPG at the second tank. If you aimed correctly, you should have killed it. Do the same thing to the first tank. Then, go into the building.
