    man, my childhood was basically this game. i was like 9 or 10, and the adrenaline i got from just discovering stuff was unreal. i used to play it every day, no breaks lol. specifically remember that rpg ammo anxiety... id be sweating hoping i wouldnt run out before the tanks showed up. it was so damn hard but thats what made it good. i played all the classics back then.. bf1942, desert combat, mohaa, vice city, splinter cell, mafia... loved em all. but this was something else. the gameplay and…

    Man I used to be scared playing this game when I was a kid. this game made me feel depended on my team which kinda made me avoid the games where I play alone for example IGI. even though I had 3 teammates with me in game but I was still scared of missions where there were tanks. I remember I used to take the game seriously and avoid enemies shots at all cost and walk slowly to make sure I dont get ambushed or killed by tanks but you know what? I dont have that feeling anymore which kinda…

    A bargain bin classic! What it lacks in quality and refinement it makes up for with charm and pure fun. Sadly, the PC version lacks split-screen co-op, which is the best feature.

    One of the classics. For framerate issue, floating bug, mouse issue we need locked 60 fps. Any framerate limiter i.e. 'Rivatuner' fixes it. #ConnorsForLife

    The game is awsome, like how I remembered from when I was young. But due to the bug which makes the character float, its impossible to progress through certain missions. This happens because the game generates extremely high frame rates on modern PCs. To fix it, download RivaTuner Statistics Server which locks the game's fps to your liking (60 is recommended) - and the game will run perfectly fine. I haven't encountered any other issues in my 30 hours of play time.

    I really wanted to like this game, but the steam version is very jank. upon opening the application the intro looked a bit off, characters weren't moving and the textures were blinking. I figured this would be the only time I encounter bugs for the whole game. Unfortunately I was dead wrong. When you jump off a ledge your character will remain stuck in a frozen state for some unexplained reason, and even if your character is dropping from a helicopter or a small curb your character will do a…

    What a throwback game. Played this when i was a kid. It is very clunky but thats what you enjoy about it. PS. If your character gets stuck on stairs or in the air for some random reason. Switch to another character and select your team to follow you and run away . this should fix that problem. Happens every here and there!

    This game and the series as a whole highly deserves your attention and praise if you are a fan of squad based combat. And the AI isnt dumb as ♥♥♥♥ like in Brothers in Arms. Since this game was made pre-2010 there are some fixes you need to download in order to make this game work. Search it on pcgamingwiki. Don't let this deter you, this is a great game.

    This game is almost unplayable. The movement glitches and look sensitivity alone create a myriad of obstacles to avoid in order to complete the mission intact. Game itself would be fun if it was totally revamped and remastered. Sad, because I loved this game growing up and now it's broken beyond repair.

    I really wish it would support controller, this game feels absolutely awful on keyboard and mouse and the sensitivity on mouse even when turned to zero is so fast you can barely see whats happening...absolutely disappointed in this. This was my favorite game growing up, I'd play for so many hours everyday by myself or with my friends. If they fix it to where I can use a controller then I'll play it again

It is a great game that should have been done right for steam but it is broken. I cant even get through the training because the character gets stuck trying to jump down. if you want this game for the memories of playing don't bother as much as it pains me to say.

    First ever review. I wanted to warn people NOT to buy this game. I bought this because it was £00:89 and I have happy teenage memories playing this on the GameCube and PS2.... I thought this would be a happy and cheap trip down memory lane, but I was wrong. The testers clearly didn't even bother, If you move your character down any sort of incline, HIDEOUS glitches start to happen, like your character flying up in the air, or just being totally unable to move. This same thing happens to your…

    Great game on consoles, it simply needs no introduction. I don't know who was tasked with porting it to PC, but they did a ♥♥♥♥ job! About halfway through the second mission it becomes unplayable, a friend of mine was only able to get up to crash site mission before he was unable to continue the game, it was that bad, personally? I have no idea how he even made it that far. If this is a case of poor optimization they desperately need to address the issue, this is simply unacceptable, I cannot…

    I played this game on the original Xbox as a wee boy. I've just finally, 23 years later, finished the campaign fully and its pretty fun, but that's with a heavy dose of nostalgia probably. You play a 4-man team of either SAS or Delta operatives responding to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The 4 characters all are distinct roles within the fireteam: Bradley (Rifleman), Foley (Sniper), Connors (Heavy Weapons), and Jones (Explosives). You can command each member to setup position independently or…

    Conflict: Desert Storm occupies a distinct place in early 2000s tactical shooters, representing a moment when developers were beginning to merge squad-based strategy with more traditional third-person action. Developed by Pivotal Games and published by Square Enix, it attempts to provide a grounded depiction of special forces operations during the Gulf War. Rather than casting players as a lone super-soldier, it hands them command of a four-man squad drawn from either the British SAS or U.S.…

    This is an awesome game for the PS2. This version being sold on steam is very glitchy to the point that it is unplayable. Very disappointed that this ancient gem is a dud. In game you are not able to decline any hill or obstacle with any momentum, otherwise the character is standing in air unable to move over the terrain. I was not able to complete basic training due to this issue, nor was I able to complete the first mission. Expecting anyone to pay money for this is absolute deception. I…

    Do not play this garbage, I know we have tons of childhood memories in this game but this PC port is nothing but a trash, there are thousands of bugs and they're not small bugs they're preventing you from playing. I do not recommend buying it, and if you really wanna play it I would say go for the PS2 version and play it via an emulator.

    A great port that plays fine if you know how to use your brain and troubleshoot around the FPS issue. It might be hard to play if you're a helpless weenie-hut junior who can't figure things out on their own. Sadly the community discussions for this game are like 90% weenie-hut junior's.

    Played the hell out of this growing up.. had no idea it was on steam until today! Has a lot of issues when playing on a newer machine, but there are options out there to fix issues like your character hovering in midair, the game suddenly speeding up, etc. It sucks that one has to download weird software to cap your FPS just to play the game, but oh well.

    I remember this game quite fondly from the PS2 era. It's certainly better on PS2, but this is overall not the worst port in the world. It has a few problems I suppose. If you want to play through for the nostalgia, it's worth a buy. Not sure I'd recommend it for new players since it's a pretty dated games...but up to you! Pick it up on sale for sure.

OPTIONS give you the option of configuring the Keys for different actions... but then it doesn't allow you to configure the keys for different actions.
