Product Description
Product Description
Delta Force is back. This sequel to the bestselling first-person shooter continues the storyline but gives players more control and better graphics than the original game. The Commander's Screen in Delta Force 2 lets players choose waypoints and orders for teammates before the game begins and also lets players make changes when they discover surprises during play. Players will also enjoy some new moves, including the ability to swim and to climb ladders and the sides of some buildings. The updated Voxel Space game engine supports 32-bit graphics, and as a result, graphics and terrain are more realistic than ever. The increased detail allows players to hide behind rocks or in shrubs and adds environmental challenges with weather effects like rain, snow, and fog. New advanced weaponry round out this exciting game and give players the option of fighting with a silenced Heckler & Koch .45 USSOCOM, a Heckler & Koch P11, underwater rifles, time-delay grenades, and a laser designator.

I first bought this game about six months ago under the recommendation of Amazon, and thoroughly enjoyed it the first time around. I picked it up again about a week ago and haven't been able to put it down again. I could be really critical and say the graphics aren't that great, and the AI could be better, but in what other first person shoot em up can you trek across about five miles of country side and snipe a kilometre from your target? Most shoot em ups follow a set path, you have to go a certain way or through certain rooms. DF2 allows you move around freely where you want to. Unlike some of its rivals, there are no health boosts or armour pickups. If you get shoot, you will die. This makes the game very realistic, and you can feel the tension build as you kitten crawl through long grasses, whilst listening to the wind and the birds twittering as you near a terrorist with your silenced USP ready to neutralise him...
A good game, and now the price is lower makes it a good buy too. Forget its few flaws, and have hours of fun. A well earned four stars.

Although I've only given a 3Star rating, I've played this game so much it's unhealthy. As many have noted, the AI is particularly poor and enemy soldiers' intelligence ranges from the "complete moron"-level to seeming like radar-controlled robots.
The game is incredibly playable online and the sheer range of game-type, from out-and-out deathmatch to "Flagball" and co-operative missions means that you often find 2,500 people still log on to the novaworld DF2 server every evening.
The main downfall of this game is the graphics.
Despite the "Enjoy long-range engagements, thanks to the Voxel Space 3 terrain" claim, this graphic format EATS processors for breakfast. 3D-Graphics acceleration is redundant here. You will find you need a 1.5GHz+ processor to obtain a decent framerate at 800x600+, whilst anything less than 640x480 make the game seem more like it's running on a Commodore64.
Overall, I would have to say this game is still an absolute must for all fans of online First Person Shooter games..
Just buy it and see for yourself!

Fun:
I'd say that this game set a precedent for first-person shooters, and was probably the inspiration behind the now extremely popular Battlefield Bad Company 2. Delta Force 2 is the first game to include bullet trajectories, that is the arcing downward of bullets fired at a target some distance away, and many of the gadgets and technologies so ubiquitous in modern titles first appeared here.
There are numerous shortcomings: the graphics are arguably quite poor; and even more frustratingly there a quite a lot of bugs. But in spite of the bad things it is a surprisingly well designed and broad game. The environments are enormous, and you can spend hours marching through hills and swimming rivers, all while listening to the sounds of the wind blowing and the occasional cries of wild animals and birds.
Probably what I like most about the game is the fact that it is about as real and life-like as a shooting game is ever likely to get. Mostly the missions involve rescuing prisoners, or taking out enemy camps, which are nearly all followed by a race to the extraction point to be picked up. More importantly, too, you aren't alone fighting your way through the wilderness; Alpha and Charlie teams often provide overwatch and can actually hit targets, something which AI in modern games can't even achieve. Taking out buildings, tents and enemy ships with laser designated fire missions was something quite fun to do as well.
This game is fantastic, and I still play it today.

Alright
Graphics=poor
The graphics are crap, and so is the AI. And so is the smartness of the game.
You meet a patrol on 3 terroists, well not meet them but you're on a hill... Read more

Great-if you stick with it
Ok this game really does still hold it's own, and I would say it is still better than the somewhat problematic Flashpoint (that's another story though. Read more

No good for multiplayer
This game comes alive when you play it online. However, don't expect to have too much fun playing mulitplayer as there is no real support and plenty of cheats to ruin it. Read more

bad graphics+gameplay= Delta Force 2
What a great idea for a game. Stick the player in the middle of one of the most crack military squads ever, load them with weaponry and send them on missions. Read more
