I have wanted this game since january and this has been my most wanted game since then (i wanted it more then Metal Gear Solid 2) and this game is going to be amazing.
Basically you take control of either four American Delta force people or four British SAS soldiers, the missions stay the same but the combat gear and the accents change.
You start off as a single soldier but your first mission involves rescuing a prisoner from the iraqi guards, this prisoner is infact the top sniper rifle guy so then he joins your quest and you have two people, eventually you will have four people in your squad and they can look after themselves.
They are gonna be the most realistic AI ever and they will protect you if you decide to go in alone (apparantly) they decide which gun they want to use in certain situations and they can think like real soldiers, one example that i have read about is that if there is a group of soldiers and you hide and decide to attack one of the other characters controlled by the computer will throw a grenade at them without you telling them to, they wont however throw the grenade at just one person because it would be a waste.
The four characters are meant to be really easy to control by just using the D - Pad to switch between the characters so you dont need to bother with any of them map thingys that the PC stratedgy games bother with.
Each character has a special role assigned to him, they are, rifleman,technician, heavy weapons man and leader. The others can do all the same jobs but the person who is aquired to do the job does it best.
Your characters build up experience points and that is why it is invaluable to not lose a character you have had for say 5 levels because he would have been an expert at shooting and keeping cool etc, but when he does get really badly injured you have 3 minutes exactly to get to him or he dies and a rookie comes in who cant shoot properly etc.
One good thing that looks good is the fact that you can get a target locked in like a tank and then you can call an air strike and watch as the F-16s fly in and blow up the target.
You can ambush people by skillfully setting your troops up and then giving them the order of "attack".
Talking of Orders there are a few, to be activated all you need to do is press L1 and then either triangle, circle or X and that will make them either, "stay back and cover you" "charge" or "follow me".
Conflict desert storm supports mulitplayer but its only two player which im happy with, you can ambush your mates etc.

I too am a massive massive fan of this game. First being introduced to it by a bigger fan, KR. I have cut out these pics of screen shots and dance around them every night at 2am for 5mins. Anyway these screenshots are great and just as KR described them. I have ofcoarse pre-ordered the game. One thing the game does lack though is food. The people in it don't eat and that means they are fake. like mnm's or dr dre. o yeah, kr: hahahaha oasis had a car crash and most of the cranberry flavour spilled out everywhere! how comes you are never online msn?

I completed the demo for the first time earlier :)
It's quite good, I like it. I did have any ammo left at the end to i had to finish them off all at once with the handy little missle launcher I found while rescuing Foley :D

Just discovered this game by playin the demo on front of mag, and was blown away by how good it is.
It's alot like an old pc game called Hidden & Dangerous, where you control 4 men. One of my best games ever, so really lookin forward to this one.
When's it out?
