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

Chemical Warfare mission: Use tank

Shortly after you go underground, there will be an intermission sequence showing a tank commander leave his tank. After this, kill the commander. When you get to the tank, do not blow it up. You can actually get into it.

POWs In Bagdad mission: Powerful weapon

From where you start, turn left and pick up the guns on the table. Then, turn around and wait for the door to open. Take out the guard and go through the door. Turn left and take out another guard. Continue down the hall, turn left, and take out another guard. Go to the door where the guard came out of and prepare for another guard. After the guard is down, run to the desk to pick up an 870 combat shotgun with seven rounds. You may lose some health and ammunition, but the reward is a powerful weapon.
