I noticed one reviewer said you have to start all over if you get killed. That's not true. There is a quick save feature available during game play. Depending on the mission you get up to 5 or 6 saves. All you have to do is hit F5 to save.
The game itself is pretty entertaining and seems fairly realistic. The other soldiers on your squad don't just follow you around to do all the crucial fighting.
The other good thing is that you don't have to have a death star of a computer to run this game. For only $20 it's a good choice.

Not a bad game(s).

Overall the game play is fun and somewhat challenging.

With the add-on, you find scenerios for Somalia, Columbia, and Iran. Probably the hardest was Somalia especially with the campaign in the Mog. Somlia and Iran are the longest scenerios. Columbia is short.

The graphics are ok and the sound is decent.

However, the one gigantic flaw is the AI. At a distance, you can see a few guys standing around smoking, checking rifles, etc. You snipe one and the others will just stand there.

One minor annoyance is the fact you can reset the campaign. After you complete a one session, it goes down to the play again list

Other then that. I liked the game and it provided many hours of play.

This game provided hours upon hours of gaming, the missions are.
A little difficult but overall, this game was worth every penny.
The missions in the mog are a bit challenging, but i'm glad i
brought this game, but i strongly recommend that only those with.
patience buy this game, because every time, you die you have to.
Start all over again from the beginning.

I own all of Novalogic's Delta Force Games(Delta Force, Delta Force2, Delta Force Land Warrior, DF Black Hawk Down with expantion pack-Team Sabre,Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising and Delta Force Xtreme. If you are into military action games Black Hawk Down is the top. Just download the demo and try it out and I'm sure you will be wanting the full version.

The original Black Hawk Down and Black Hawk Down "Team Sabre" (expansion pack) is a fun first person shooter, however the Joint Operations "Escalation" (not sure if its included in this game pack) wasnt all that fun. But if you are into multiplayer action online, this game pack for the price is unbeatable. Not only is the online play fun, but you get ranked and earn medals through your game play in the Black Hawk Down and BHD Team Sabre versions. Overall its worth the price. ENJOY!!

This game is the best online multiplayer shooter I have played so far. Though the multiplayer is somewhat unrealistic and the graphics can give away things because of minor glitches, it is very fun. The missions are OK but not very fun so you become board with them very fast. The real plus in this game is the multiplayer.

I'm a sucker for shooters and Delta Force: Black Hawk Down is a fun shooter. I think it captures quite well the chaos in Samolia as insurgents come in hordes and are everywhere. They hide around every corner, but don't shoot the friendlies who look very similar to hostile insurgents. They come in waves and more waves toward your team over hills.

Good graphics, lots of action. I recommend this!

All the other reviews spoke of the boxed missions. The real power and FUN behind these games are play on Nova World. You pit yourself against hundreds of others all over the world. All it takes is a modum (or better) this or another NovaLogic game, and your on the WAN killing pixels! No extra charges for playing on Nava World, except your lack of sleep when you first start. Have Fun!

A fair comparison would be the rainbow six 3 series given the type of game and dates of release. Yet the Delta force black hawk down series is better in nearly every way. The exceptions being the number of available weapons to choose from and there is a problem knowing were the map/mission boundaries are. The story line is credible and realistic unlike (all other shooters games) the phony inconceivable rainbow six United Nations counter terror units. The weapon actions, sound effects, characters movement and image and the general graphics are all superior.

Other related games I have enjoyed are the half life series, the far cry series, the F.E.A.R. series and the Mechwarrior (from Activision to Microprose and Microsoft).

The only one to avoid is F.E.A.R. due to it's bad atmosphere and theme of creep and that it has nothing it does better than or as well as, lets say half life or far cry. Very boring and bland redundancy of the rooms, the buildings and the general scenery.

If you want to become addicted to a game this is the one. It's been out for a few years and riddled with cheaters and hackers who want to feel good about themselves..... this aside,it's still a good online FPS game. If you don't take the game seriously, I totally recommend it.
