    This game probably sucks. But I do want to play a game where you get the full russian conscript experience. Cruel and incompetent leaders, squad mates you can’t communicate with because you don’t speak the same language, equipment that doesn’t work right or that you are not trained to use making bootleg alcohol that can make you go blind and a button that lets you commit suicide.

    I am sick of being special ops or some lame shit in every military game.

    Time to start posting reviews with:

    • “This game is impossible to win!”
    • “I was told I could take Kyiv in 3 days. I’ve been playing for 1,190 days and I’m still not even close to Kyiv.”
    • “Why is my enemy using smart guided anti tank rockets and my soldiers are riding bicycles and wearing Adidas knock off sneakers into battle?”

    Who knows? Maybe the Russian military is out of tactical ideas and trying to crowdsource a military strategy from gamers to take Ukraine because they can’t do it themselves.

      When I got captured I was treated better as a POW than when I was treated by Russia.

      I don’t understand the goal of this game. Is it to loose as much friends as possible? Because that’s the only thing I’m good at.

      This game is not realistic at all. I can’t even rape and torture anyone, like I did at the front lines.

      How come there are modern weapons in this game but we have to use WW2 weapons in real life?

      I could go on and on…

      I mean, the US put out the game America’s Army as a recruitment tool.

      Passably decent multiplayer shooter for its time. Good enough to kill some time with.

      “Blatant land and money grab with impossible grind. Offers pay 2 win, but even pay 2 win doesn’t get you through the grind. I’m selling all the oil I can for in-game currency and it’s not even making a dent. Huge rip off”

      “In a February 2022 blog post the dev team said they would release a new Kyiv map in 3 days, it hasn’t been mentioned ever since”

    Politics aside, this is just Door Kickers with russian AI images all over. At least be creative when making propaganda.

    Back in 2018, Steam stated its approach to content on its platform was "to allow everything onto the Steam Store, except for things that we decide are illegal, or straight up trolling".

    A social media account linked on Steam to the game’s developer includes a post suggesting Ukraine’s refusal to surrender will provide “a lot of content to make more missions in our game”.

    I’m pretty sure that qualifies.

        Both the developer, Pivotal Games, and global publisher, SCi Games, of Conflict Desert Storm are British. Pivotal Games closed in 2008 and SCi is a shell subsidiary of Square Enix. The publisher for the American release was Gotham Games, a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive, which closed down in 2003.

        AFAIK, the Conflict series was not developed or funded by the United States government. To my knowledge, only “America’s Army” is a game directly funded and developed for the US government’s military branch. It also is published by the US Military.

    Someone needs to do a mod where your armour is tissue thin and there are waves of fibre optic drones coming down at you.

    Just going to install the game to leave a negative review because if anyone deserves a review bomb it’s this.
