Probably the most 2004 game ever made
Before Call Of Duty 4 defined modern war based FPS game, this was one of the gems before it that did it pretty good. The action is nonstop, the first mission literally throws you into battle without any hand holding tutorials like its a real war. The difficulty is pretty high since you're going to be taking shots from everywhere, and there is no save function during missions, but the levels are short so you never feel like you lose too much when dying. The story is very much a product of its time where you play as a special forces soldier going on black ops missions to retrieve WMDs from terrorists, but it has such a likable charm to it like an old school action movie from the 90's/2000's.

solidly enjoyable
Never heard of this when it was new. I found it fun and enjoyable. I feel like it deserves a higher rating. Cons: No saving games in the middle of a level No vehicles Limited weapons on each level (you get 3, preset, plus maybe a later heavy weapon pickup) Pros: Difficulty is balanced. Not too hard, not too easy Emplaced machineguns are fun to use Sound and visuals are good, no lag, good loud bangs from guns, screen shakes with heavier weapons There's a basic story, you're a spec ops superstar, terriss steal red mercury to make a suitcase supernuke, Russians/Arabs/American traitors blah blah. Basic Tom Clancy fare. Ignore it, the game itself is fun.

Must have!
Since i joined GOG in early 2014 i was annoyed. A list of games NOT on this site annoyed me. This List is: Soldier of Fortune Shadow Ops Rainbow Six Rogue Spear Project IGI With SoF from the list we now get another gem from the golden Era of "Modern Warfare games before Modern Warfare was a thing" Every time a CoD Kid or a wanna be YT channel tells me how CoD 4 invented the Modern Warfare genre i come up with a sophisticated laughter and lecture them which games did that in the early 2000s. So which games did that? Project IGI, Operation Flashpoint, DFBHD, Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2, Ghost Recon 1 and 2, Black aaaaaaaaaaand of course Shadow Ops. And here we are. Finally that (sadly unknown) Action Shooter arrived on Gog. I played it back then in 2004 on the X Box (that version comes with oversensitive controls) and in 2007 i got the PC Version. What is Shadow Ops? It is a fast paced action Shooter in a Modern Warfare Special Forces setting. It comes with all the stuff from its time: Medikits, Crazy Action, a Michael Bay storyline and an unforgiven difficulty. GOG Version and how it aged. The Cutscene look like total trash filmed with a potato (but i dont care, thats how it is with such old games). The visuals are 2004 and still look ok. The controls are spot on and it still plays smooth and fast. Why should you buy it. 1. it is one of the grandfathers of the MW genre and if you like FPS then you should have played it 2. Call yourself a good FPS player because you played the last CoD Games?! How about showing your skill with a real challenge?! 3. Shadow Ops was CoD 4 before CoD 4 even existed. PS: i see a lot of people complaining about the lack of a save function. Come on kids! Grow some balls and practise. The Levels are short and this game is never unfair. Dont blame the game for your lack of skill. Dear Gog! Rainbow Six Rogue Spear Project IGI (No save function and Missions that wont end. I wait for the tears about this one) MAKE IT HAPPEN!
