Crossfire gets new name News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

21 August, 2007

Eidos has decided to rename Crossfire to Conflict: Denied Ops, so that we all realise its the next instalment in the Conflict series.

Pivotal games will handling development again, and is aiming at a 2008 release on PS3, 360 and PC.

The shooter was unveiled at X06 last year, where we were told it was based around two agents carrying out objectives in today's politically sensitive areas of South America, Africa and Russia.

So you'll have to work together, seamlessly swapping between control of each operative to provide your own cover or explore diverging paths on levels. Or you can simply get a friend to join you and fill the boots of the spare agent.

Other improvements on the tactical series are familiar promises of next-gen graphics, brainy enemies and destructible environments - allowing you to snipe through walls or smash entry points into buildings.

Head over to our Conflict: Denied Ops gallery to see how it's shaping up.

This is from one of those automatic game name-generator things, isn't it?

I really enjoyed the co-op on Desert Storm 1 and 2 and the more recent one, but Vietmam was a pile of dog poo, hopefully on-line co-op will be good on this.

54 titles found on Metacritic with the word Ops in them.

Having worked on a game which was named [generic nonsense] Ops by the publisher and no-one's subsequently heard of, I'm particularly tired of it.

That name must have been conceived by some spastic.

So it's not based on the toy where you fired little ball-bearings at a puck thing to score goals?

I dont see what was wrong with the much snappier Crossfire.. i thought it was a joke when one of the guys working on this told me the name had been changed to this.... apparently publisher imposed.
