Fun to play on medium skill, hard to play on hard skill. Weapons are realistic (with the exception of the naval bombardment feature, which is weak). Mission waypoints do place you in suicidal places, but you can use the "next waypoint" feature (keyboard W) to put the next waypoint up on the screen map.

Some AI is great, some weird. Occasionally bad guys will be firng full auto at you from inside a tent, acting as if you are not blocked (although they may be confused as to why a tent would block a 5.56 on full auto, too). You can often find it in a bargain bin at computer city, so llok there, too. If it is under $15, buy it.

Delta Force is a first person shooter which puts you in the action as a soldier of Delta Force, US Military special force.

You have various missions to choose from, ranging from hostage rescues to convoy ambushes. It's best to stay alert and try not to be seen, since one shot at you can end your career in military quite fast.

Delta Force uses NovaLogic's Voxelspace engine which offers huge playable areas and doesn't use a 3D-Accelerator card. Because of that the system requirements are quite huge, and you'd best have at least a Pentium 2 class system or really good nerves (Tried with Pentium MMX 225Mhz, sloooow...).

Delta Force is a fun game. Sure, it has it's flaws, such as stupid AI (somethimes the enemies can't hit you even if they stand in front of you), and some other things, but as overall I enjoyed it very much. And it gets better in multiplayer mode. And what could be more fun than shooting bad guys with sniper rifle from 2 km distance?...

However, this is no Quake, you'll have to reconsider your strategies if trying to play this one like you play Quake. But Delta Force is no Rogue Spear either, it isn't that complicated, I think that Delta Force is something in the between.

I recently bought this title at Wal-Mart while browsing through the computer game aisles, and impulsively picked it up since it was priced nicely at $9.99, compared to the more recent releases costing in the region of $50 or so.

This is turning out to be the best ten bucks I've spent in a while. I'm getting lots of playing time out of this and enjoying it immensely.

Anyhow, since this review will likely be read by those who have already played and enjoyed it too, I won't delve into too much detail about the game itself, except to say that it is an interesting first-person shooter. You are a Delta Force operator - one of the most elite military professionals in the world. You are sent on various anti-terrorism missions around the world and given a variety of weapons to accomplish your tasks. Unlike other FPS games like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, in which you typically operate as a lone agent, in Delta Force you are usually teamed up with other Delta operators who converge on the target from other locations.

While the graphics are quite weak, it does not take too much away from the gameplay, and the game is very fun to play. However, the default weapons you are given on some missions are strange choices, and there are very few weapons included in the game to begin with. I understand that later versions employ more types, but I haven't had the opportunity yet to play those.

Novalogic put some realism into the game - you can actually hear the enemies shouting and determine which direction they're coming from, as well as the proximity and direction of incoming gunfire. When enemies are hit, they either scream loudly, mutter in a foreign language, or sometimes gurgle like blood is filling their lungs - pretty sickening if you ask me, but I also noticed that enemies die regardless of where you shoot them. I liked Goldeneye's feature that enemies shot in the arm clutched their arms in pain, but didn't usually die unless you hit them in the torso or head.

All in all, this is a great game and you won't tire of it for some time.

Graphics are a tade weak but this was made back in '98 so it is forgivable. If you decide to get this game you have to play the Multiplayer to get your money's worth, single player is too easy in parts.

This is a pretty cool realistic game. The graphics aren't fantastic but they certainly aren't bad. It's fantastic buy for the price. Alot of fun real missions, big open landscapes, guns, and a great price...what more do you want?

A great game for a great price. You get over the aged graphics by trying to keep yourself alive as you play the part of Blackhawk or whomever you wish to be for around 30 missions all over the world.The AI characters can be a bit stupid but they can also kill you if your not on your smarts.I played just fine with XP and a low end video card.It's similar to Operation Flashpoint but more fun.It's a play again game.

Delta Force is overall an acceptable game to my standards, but it has some low points to it.

PROS: -There are about 40 missions in Delta Force that take place all over the world
- Huge environments to move your soldier around in.
-Fun missions that include hostage rescue, raiding terrorist bases, finding a bomb, ambushing a convoy of vehicles and many others.
CONS: -Only about 5 or 6 total weapons which [stinks]badly.
-Cheesy and cartoony moans that enemies make when they are shot.

-The guns dont move around when u walk, no idle animations
-When u scope with a rifle, it doesnt go full screen, just a circle that pops up with crosshairs.
-Graphics engine is showing age bigtime.

OVERALL: DF is pretty good, but needs some work. Buy it, play it, forget about it. 3 stars total -Patrick (Remeber its just an opinion so dont get mad if u disagree.)

This is really a fun game. I especially like using the 50-caliber sniper rifle from long distances. The foreign languages you hear from the enemy soldiers are cool and using a silencer on the 22 pistols is a blast. My computer is older and doesn't have the power for many of the newer games out there but it runs Delta Force just fine. So if you have an old Pentium 2 like me and want to skip the aggravation of running many of the newer games buy this one. ...

If you think rainbow six is too complicated and quake is too plain try this game. ....The graphics aren't the best but its easy to see past them with the great realistic gameplay and the cool weapons. The terrorists even speak in native languages

The bad parts:

Graphics were fine for their time, but lack slightly. Singleplayer was too easy, AI kind of dumb.

The good parts:

Balanced perfectly. No weapon dominates the battlefield. Maps were balanced. Multiplayer was heaven on earth. INTENSE gunfights with foes across the world. Sniping a BLAST.
