Added DiffLines:
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The game makes it ''very'' clear that to destroy the heavier tanks reliably, hit them with a rocket in the back. The smaller [=BMPs=] can be hit anywhere, however.
Added DiffLines:
* TheMedic: For Delta Force, the Combat Engineer (Jones) starts out with a three-star boost for healing. The SAS Combat Engineer, as well as the other SAS soldiers, merely share one star.
* NewMeat: Commandos killed in action get replaced by fresh soldiers in the next mission. They start at Private rank; Bradley starts out as a Sergeant and everyone else starts out as a Corporal.

Added DiffLines:
* OneBulletClips: Zigzagged. The UI only keeps track of magazines in one's pocket, but keeps track of bullets internally, meaning that you can often reload and your magazine count will remain the same until you've spent enough ammo to move onto the next one.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Inverted then zig-zagged with Jones. Jones joins your team in mission 3 with no explanation as to why he didn't join earlier, unlike Foley (for obvious reasons) and Connors (who was doing recon in Kuwait City). Then in mission 12 and 13, he is replaced by Dr. Franklin (a civilian), and there is again no explaination for his absence other than the game not allowing more than four characters on the interface. He rejoins for good in mission 14 onwards.

''Conflict Desert Storm'' is a [[ThirdPersonShooter third person]] TacticalShooter game developed by Pivotal Games and published by Gotham Games for North American countries, [=SCi=] Games for European countries and by Capcom for Japan and Asian countries as the first game of the VideoGame/ConflictSeries. It was available for the Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Gamecube, Sony Playstation 2 and Windows. The game was released in September 2002 for all systems excepte for the Gamecube, which had an April 2003 release. It was also released for mobile phones in August 2005.
The game takes place during UsefulNotes/TheGulfWar after Saddam Hussein orders the invasion of its southern neighbor, Kuwait. In response to this, the United Nations has called for a multinational force to help Kuwait military forces (and later resistance forces) to drive the Iraqis out of Kuwaiti soil. Players assume the role of either American Delta Force or British SAS commandos assigned to conduct special forces operations against Iraqi troops and military facilities, known as Alpha-Two. The unit was formed after Paul Foley was rescued from captivity after John Bradley was inserted to conduct a one man op. They later join up with Mick Connors during an op in Kuwait City to rescue Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah from being captured by Iraqi troops. David Jones is the last person to join Alpha-Two after the US started to participate in the war under [[OperationBlank Operation Desert Storm]].
The game is followed by a sequel, ''ConflictDesertStormIIBackToBaghdad''.

!!The game provides examples of the following tropes:
* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: The game's North American cover shows an armed soldier in front with a helicopter and some soldiers manning a machine gun post. This is in constrast to the European cover, which shows British troops infiltrating the desert from a Chinook and the Japanese cover, which also shows British troops with their [=SA80s=] already being used in combat.
* AmericaSavesTheDay: While you have the option to play as Delta Force, the British SAS is available as an option. Also in the context of the actual Gulf War, multiple countries heeded the UN's call to help liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Alpha-Two has participated in many special forces missions that eventually led to the liberation of Kuwait.
* BigDamnHeroes: Alpha-Two gets called in to assist American forces in fending off the Iraqi Republican Guard (IRG).
* BoomHeadshot: Killing enemies by shooting them in the head is a guaranteed move to use.
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted. You need to reload your weapons if they run out of ammo.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: The player can choose either to play as Delta Force or British SAS commandos. Both forces have actually participated in said conflict.
* EliteMooks: Some stages have Alpha-Two fighting the IRG.
* HoldTheLine: Alpha-Two is forced to defend themselves in a plateau against incoming Iraqi troops after their chopper was taken out by a [=SAM=] missile.
* HostageSituation:
** At the start, Foley was held captive by Iraqi troops after a special forces op to blow up a bridge connecting Iraq to Kuwait was ambushed.
** Alpha-Two was covertly inserted into Baghdad in order to rescue Americans held prisoners by the Saddam-era government.
* MarketBasedTitle: The game is known in Japan and Asia as Conflict Delta: Wangan Senso 1991 (コンフリクト・デルタ 湾岸戦争 1991), which means ''Conflict Delta: The 1991 Gulf War''.
* MeaningfulName: The game's titles in English and Japanese should already give you an idea on the story's setting.
* OhCrap: In February 1991, Alpha-Two was ordered to disable a Russian-made ICBM after Coalition intelligence finds out that it was seen in southern Baghdad. They are worried that it can be armed with a nuclear warhead as a last ditch effort to win the Gulf War.
* OneManArmy: While the game can let you play this way by going out guns blazing, you're fighting against Iraqi troops and armored vehicles. The player need to utilize the squad with combat tactics to fight together and use allied artillery and air strikes.
