Gameplay

The game plays primarily in third-person perspective with controls similar to a standard first-person shooter. The player directly controls one member of the team at a time, but can issue commands to teammates and also swap direct control between any of the four characters on the fly. Such a control mechanism is designed to allow tactical play to emerge, with many players preferring a "slow and steady" approach, unlike many contemporary first- and third-person shooters. The AI in the game will advance, use cover, use grenades and retreat when injured.

Story

The game starts with Red Team performing a HALO insertion into the Colombian jungle where they are captured and taken to a nearby town controlled by militia forces. Connors escapes and subsequently frees the rest of Red Team, whom then continue with their mission to destroy the drug factory. After completing the mission and capturing Mandel, Red Team head to the landing zone, however Foley stays behind to defend the rest of the team. He does not make it to the landing zone before Bradley decides to pull out and is captured by the militia. He reappears in Conflict: Denied Ops as a prisoner.

The team is given a replacement sniper, Carrie Sherman. They are then sent on a mission to protect senator Jack Maguire on his diplomatic mission to South Korea, then to Ukraine to secure a pesticide plant where sarin gas is being manufactured, then to Chechnya to capture some sarin gas tanks from Chechen rebels and help Orlov, a Russian agent, to take the tanks to the Russian lines, and then Egypt to a terrorist camp to disable all anti aircraft systems and laser designate the command bunker for an air strike, before the identity of the traitor who betrayed Red Team in the first mission is revealed.

Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
