How f***ing excellent is Conflict Desert Storm 2?
Started playing it today after completing Hitman Contracts and I gotta say, I forgot how excellent these games are.
The 3rd level knackered me out it's so intense. That one level is probably more intense than the whole of the first game put together. Once you get to the base and have to protect those choppers so your matey's can get on board, you don't have a minute to breath. So many fooking Iraqi's running at you from all angles, then there's the stupid amount of Tanks that keep rearing their ugly heads.
I managed to save all the choppers from the filthy Iraqi pigs. Then the guy told me to evacuate as there were lots of dudes coming my way and they weren't looking to borrow some sugar. So I make a dash for the exit point when some tw@t of a tank appears from nowhere and takes out 2 of my guys. Me being the amazing soldier that I am *ahem* decided I had to go back for them, but with no RPG's and not much health it was a bit of a suicide mission. Anyway I got one guy to cover with his M16 as the other guy covered the tank with smoke grenades so it couldn't see sheet and then medipack the cripples on the floor. Somehow I managed to pull it off, even though I had half the Iraqi army chasing me, god knows I sighed a relief when the level ended.
Excellent stuff, I'm off to lie down now.

I thought you had just moved your X-Box.
Heh, I love games like that where you just manage to get out alive. So satisfying completing a rock hard mission with a hardly any health left.
That's the best level.
However, I prefer CDS1. The co-op was way better.

It's excellent, isn't it. We had a go at the 3 player, and it's always interesting to see who dies first, who is prepared to risk their neck by going to save them, who wastes all their ammo, etc.. Very fun game.
One thing that's bad about this game is the downloadable content. New uniforms for the soldiers? why did they even bother.
