Conflict: Desert Storm II: Back to Bagdad Hints VI (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

Besieged mission: Increasing stats

Enable the "Cheat mode" code and turn on the "Infinite ammo" cheat. Proceed through the level as usual, and pick any sniper you find (there is only one plus Foley's). When you get to the part where you must evacuate to the door and they blow it open for you, have everyone go to the cars except one. Have that person go just inside the door to the right. Then, defeat all the ground forces and the remaining tank. If you do not have any rocket, take Jones there with a tank mine and set it directly next to the tank and run. If you run quick enough, you may make it out alive. If not, use Conners to heal him. Clean up the ground forces any way desired. After all the ground forces are gone, take Foley and another character that you wish to increase skills with, and go up to the top of the structure in the middle. Take your sniper rifle out and look around. You should find enemy soldiers on top of these roofs. They have an infinite number and are a good source of free kills. Station one on the left and one on the right, and put them on weapons ready mode. Then, change to another character and they will start saying things like "Target down", or "Changing clips", indicating that your men are sniping the enemy snipers. Every once in a while, there will be someone that they cannot hit. They will stop talking at this point. Switch to one of them, find the enemy sniper, and snipe him. This is a very good way to bring up Foley's and other character's stats.
