Microsoft today announced that the Xbox 360 demo of Conflict: Denied Ops has been launched via Xbox Live worldwide (but not in Germany and Japan). Previously known as Crossfire, the game takes place in today's delicately balanced political climate, focusing on two covert field operatives, experts in weapons and military tactics. Conflict: Denied Ops allows players the freedom to switch seamlessly, at any point, between these two operatives to lay down cover fire, explore different paths through levels, create a distraction or pin down the enemy under crossfire. Developed by Pivotal Games, Conflict: Denied Ops will be released for PC, PS3 and X360 on February 12 - the PC demo is locally mirrored here.
