Delta Force is an explosive game. It combines militay tactics w old faschioned shooting. Mission include Assulting terroist bases, sabatoge, black opps, convoy interception and protection, and rescue missions and lots more. And after you've mastered the game. Go on novaworld for endless game play were you are fighting a true enemy. Not dumb AI but real humans. If you dont watch out you'll find yourself in front of someone elses crosshairs

As a first person shooter game Delta Force is outstanding. It provides varied missions, day night, snow, Etc. 5 stars.

I have been playing DF constantly for the past year. I discovered multiplayer about two weeks after I bought the game and have just played online since. This game is incredibly addicting. Competition is fierce. Novalogic's servers can often be laggy, but during the workday, traffice seems to lighten and you have a smooth game. If you want a really good bang for your buck, buy DF; stay away from DF II---too buggy and hard to play. DFI will give you a wild online experience you will come back to hour after hour..it's intense.

Even when it first came out, Delta Force wasn't really a groundbreaking game. However, what it may have lacked in graphics and animation accuracy, it more than made up for in sheer joy of gameplay. Even though I no longer play it online, and play it in single-player mode with my 4-year-old son, we both find it incredibly enjoyable. The missions are difficult enough to provide suitable challenge, especially since, if you're not careful and wary, one single bullet can kill you - just like in real life. None of the ridiculous "hit point" meters and other nonsense like in other FPS-type games. However, the missions are also short and sweet - perfect for those like me who don't have the time to invest in hours-long missions of stealth like in Operation Flashpoint.

I also like this version of Delta Force because bullets from your machine gun are capable of destroying vehicles and helicopters. In subsequent versions of the game, you would be required to use a rocket or other explosive, when in real life, a fusillade of rounds can bring down a chopper just as surely as an anti-aircraft missle.

In short, this is just one of those all-time classic games. I recommend it with 5 stars.

I have loved this game since it first came out.It's very easy to control the character and it's challenging too, 'cause if you get hit just once, yer dead! My Godchildren also love this game and ask if they can play it everytime they come to visit. I purchased this copy for a computer I have built just for them, so they can play it at their own home whenever they want.

Let me start by saying that in general, I really enjoyed this game. I played through all the missions a couple of times, and some were downright challenging. I only give it three stars, though, because of several key factors.

The main drawback is that the AI is weak, in my opinion. The bad guys don't react particularly well when you start sniping their buddies. Rather, most of them tend to assume threatening postures but otherwise just stand around waiting to join the ranks of the worm feeders. Others will run around a bit and shout, but there is no real method to their madness. Again, they tend to be easy pickings.

Related to the weak AI is the fact that the bad guys are rather poor marksmen. My typical tactic playing through many missions was to find a suitable vantage point from which to engage at long range, reasonably confident that the return fire would be pretty inaccurate and not particularly threatening. Of course, if you start getting into closer quarters, their aim tends to improve just a bit.

The bad AI also applies to fellow team members. Alpha and Charlie teams (2 men each) were very poor about trying to be stealthy, and were wont to charge in with guns blazing only to find themselves promptly deposited in body bags. The net result is that the player (the one-man Bravo team) has to fulfill most mission requirements on his own.

I also disliked the fact that the bad guys were a little to easy to kill. Simply grazing one on the foot is enough for a KIA. This tends to cut both ways though, because the good guys also die with only one or at most two hits. On a related note, bullets don't penetrate soft objects like tents (but thankfully do break windows). Just a tad unrealistic.

On the plus side, the vast terrain areas allow a great freedom of movement and maneuver. Although there are preprogrammed mission plans for each level, the player is free to disregard them and "ad lib" as much as desired. This permits a fairly high degree of replayability.

I thought the graphics were decent but not great. The "night vision" effects are fairly neat, if not entirely realistic. The selection of weapons is not huge, but appropriate. The player's arsenal does not resemble that of a typical "shooter," but is still generous, consisting of a knife, sidearm, main armament (usually a rifle or machine gun), grenades, laser designator, and maybe a demo charge or LAW.

Although there are plenty of mission levels, each with its own imaginative story line, they all tend to feel the same during play. They all involve single-handedly (after you teammates get themselves wasted) killing several dozen terrorists, and occasionally rescuing a hostage, destroying a convoy, knocking out a radar site, etc.

Overall, this is an enjoyable game, and one which I will probably play again in the future. It's not all it could be, for the reasons described above... thus the sequels, which I will review separately.

DeltaForce is the best action game i have ever played.The missions are incredible and when your done with them (which will take a long time) you can go on and play online against other people.This game really deserves five stars.

Delta Force is one of the best war games I have come across. The environment is beautiful, the missions and enemies are realistic and you don't need fancy hardware to run it. Select your weapons carefully and start your mission. Once the shooting starts, the positional sounds makes you wet your pants the first time. I almost froze when I met enemies up close (but finished them off eventually). The controls are easy to use and you'll soon be a ruthless killing machine. That's when you're ready for some multi-player action. This game sure is a must have!

Ever hear a cuban scream after being shot with a m401A sniper rifle at 500 yards? Well you can here... The game includes diffrent languages that the enemy can scream or curse out at you. It's almost as if you really are in the jungle holding a amazing-man killing cannon, in your hands and hunting your fellow man. Really there is no better elite forces sim to be found anywhere... This is the highlight, and it's even better while playing on the net. It's all you wanted from a combat/action/sim and more... you are part of the elite delta team. A secret team that goes behind enemy lines to fulfill a number of mission objectives... (assaination, raid, stealth insertion... ETC)

You are an elite commando fighting against terrorists around the world. Play against the computer to practice your skills and then join online play against other players and enjoy the combat! You can choose to join a squad made up of fellow players if you are good enough. You can be a sniper, a machine gunner, or an infantryman with an M16 with built-in grenade launcher. Lots of fun, come join us!
