"Conflict Desert Storm II"

Now Desert storm I was a bit of a sleeper hit, so when i get Desert Storm II hopefully this friday i will bore you all to death about how good it is + i won't mind if im the only one to post in here :D.

one thing that is confusing, PSW say it has four people called Mayne, Smith, Mckinley and Calvery which from the uniform is the British guys and then the americans are called Sherman, Sanchez , Cody and Wagner.

But all the other mags have the normal Bradley, Foley, Conners and jones.

Just started C:DS 2. Damn good, damn damn good! :)

I've played the first three levels. The way you get thrown into the action immediately with all 4 team members was a pleasant surprise, I thought it would begin like the original and have you work up to 4 team members over the first few missions.

I'm also really appreciating the way it keeps throwing troops in to attack your flank. Fighting in a city is like this and I was hoping for more of this in the first game's city levels. Now it's implemented it works really well.

They've made the autoaim less accurate which needed doing as the first one was a bit of a breeze (might go back to the first one and see if I can take autoaim off, it's made obvious in the second one that you can).

I also like the way they've removed the crosshair turning red when you're on target. This means you can't line up a shot through smoke and makes snipers the proper threat that they should be.

Excellent stuff.

I have completed the game on Hard mode, started on Extreme today - ending is okay i suppose.

has any one done the misson were you have to defuse the bombs around the oil refinery. i did it saved all the amercian soliders and then something strange happened i got returned to the PS2 browser were the game disc did not appear has this happened to anyone else or just me

The controls are really cool now, just take a while to get used to, the quirkyness has gone and the game is really amazing.

Yeh i like the Commando roll thingy, i also like the idea of being able to peek round corners. the AI has been improved alot and if you shoot them once of twice and they don't die then they try to hide. Also if you watch a few they move in formation and im on level 3 (of 10) but im finding it pretty hard.

Waiting for my copy to drop through the door, I'll be coming off nightwork Tuesday morning, so hopefully it'll be waiting to greet me.
Get a couple of hours sleep then give it a go.

I like the crazy ground roll thing.

:-D

oh and i noticed Conners can also run with his weapon now, in Desert storm I he could only fire when he was not moving.

Good bits so far seem to be that the graphics have been improved quite a lot, the earlier levels are harder then the levels from the first game; this game has an extreme mode which will be good.

Bad bits - the controls have been changed a bit so at the min the controls seem a bit quirky.

so tell me KR is the game good? what are the good and bad bits? just for a recap
