Conflict: Denied Ops

GameTap brings you into conflict and then denies your operations this week with Conflict: Denied Ops. Yup, still one of the most foolish game titles in the past year.

IGN reports: Renowned for his Hollywood caliber orchestral writing, multiple award-winning composer Richard Jacques (Headhunter, Mass Effect) has scored an original music soundtrack for CONFLICT: DENIED OPS, a new two-player co-op first person shooter from Pivotal Games and the fifth game in the best-selling CONFLICT series. CONFLICT: DENIED OPS will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in February 2008. To complement the non-stop action and cinematic moments throughout the game, Jacques composed an energetic military score that employs traditional ethnic instruments and vocals for the settings across Africa, South America and Russia. The music is fully interactive, reacting to the player's movements, and enhances the immersive experience of the fast-paced gameplay.

That same gameplay we've seen a hundred times

The official Conflict: Denied Ops website is now live, offering new details about this first person shooter under development for the PC, PS3 and X360 and due to ship later this year.
