 Pretty Good July 8, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'd say that this game is a pretty good game overall. It could use some minor additions/changes, but it's otherwise solid.
I liked the "Contextual orders" you could give; meaning that if you move your cursor over an enemy's weapon you could order one of your squadmates to pick it up and other things like that.(plant C4, use a certain object, etc.) Also, the fact that you could save while in-mission was nice. That way you didn't have to repeat the whole mission over again if you screwed up one part. The game also was realistic in that you always had to use a fair amount of teamwork to accomplish the missions. That and once your health dropped to 0 you were "MIA" and your teammates had a small amount of time to heal you with a medkit and restore your health. If they didn't heal you, you'd die and the mission would fail. The fact that you could switch your control of individual teammates also helped. One minute I could be Bradley firing at the enemy and then I could switch to Jones and plant some C4 while the computer was then controlling Bradley. And the AI was pretty good too. Enemy took cover behind boxes, tried to outflank you and stuff like that.
The only thing I really didn't like was the fact that medals and stuff like that were dependent upon your grade at the end of the mission, which was only really dependent upon how many enemy you've killed. I could've never went MIA, shot a teammate and done everything right, but if I only killed 20 guys I'd get a "D" as my mission score. Of course, conversely, I could be going MIA every 5 minutes, but if I'd kill 100 guys I'd get an "A". That seemed a little out of touch with how I actually performed the mission. Also, I was annoyed that in 3rd person view my cursor would turn red(indicating I could shoot an enemy), but I would really be shooting into the box I was hiding behind. That was annoying, but it can be dealt with. Overall, it's a good game(especially for $20).
Best Conflict series game yet. January 16, 2006
This is easily the best Conflict series game yet. Bradley, connors, jones and foley are back with their same main skills, and some added weapons/technology. Notably foley's automatic handgun is great as he can now be useful in close quarters.
There are several notable additions to the gameplay but my favorite is the thermal/IR vision, its especially handy when theres a lone sniper thats difficult to locate or a room full of enemies. This game has a ton of enemies, the ai is better, still not perfect but definitely better. Its not unlikely to have that endless enemy scenario where if you sit in a room the enemies will keep coming in for 30 minutes but if you leave the room there aren't any around. Makes for good target practice and makes you play more aggressively.
The first mission has the enemies all saying 'are you the man por favor?!" which is ridiculously entertaining. They seem to have put a lot of effort into differentiating the enemies based on the location of the mission.. which as you may have guessed, travels the globe.
The weapons are definitely improved, laser sights at first seems cool but I have yet to find a good use for them. Its easy to pick up your dead enemies weapons and if you do you'll end up with one weapon at least with a ton of ammo.. which is at times necessary because your teammates are rather trigger happy if you dont tell them to stand down. .. there are various types of grenades and you get more weapons to start with than the previous conflict games.
Fans of the series will be pleased, apparently socom fans dont like it too much!? whatever, its a good game, my favorite since desert storm 2. (didnt like conflict vietnam very much).
My only gripe with the game is that the enemies all seem to have bulletproof skin, you can shoot a guy five times in the head at times just to have him lob a grenade at you. Tricky at first but after awhile you not only get used to it but make up for it by improving your stealth and crossfire techniques.
There is an online feature which allows you to play the missions with an online teammate, however it seems to be limited to the missions. I would like to see a team vs. mode in the future.
The replay value of this game makes it well worth the price.
Great game! November 16, 2005

I am a big fan of the Conflict series and Global Terror is the best. The graphics are pretty good and the multi-national theme is a plus. The missions take a while to get through,so you play longer(a plus). The only complaint I have is targeting enemy troops is a bit more difficult. Sometimes it takes several shots to dispach a terrorist,especially at close range. Sum it up,great game,a load of fun. Can't wait for the next one
