Delta Force: Task Force Dagger is the next in the line of, so far, 3 other Delta Force games, the last being Land Warrior and the next, Black Hawk Down. All have been created mainly by Novalogic, but this time they are being assisted by Zomebie Studios.
Ok, now to the good stuff! Task Force Dagger is supposed to contain about 30 new weapons, and 25 new missions, but probably one of the coolest features is that you can choose from different types of characters, not just gunner, sniper, cqb, medic, nader, from Land Warrior, but things such as SEALS, Army Rangers, and, of course, Delta Force operatives. The enourmous levels given out by Novalogic and enourmous servers hosting countless numbers of players won't stop in this game either.
The game was planned to be released on May 22nd i believe, but was pushed back until June 26th, and God knows why Amazon but nobody else has it, so it may be better to wait a little while before purchasing the game, because the only real point to buy the game is for the multiplayer ability.
Stats are recorded. Your time in the hill, number of flags captured, kills, shots, everything. That is one awesome feature, and the better your statistics are, the higher you move up in rank. The single player game is the only weakness of the franchise, enemies have never been very smart, and a simple one shot with the pistol in the leg can take an enemy down. More teamwork could be used in the missions as well as other features, but the co-operative mode can be a blast, but can be pretty dull sometimes.
The game comes with a mission editor in which levels can be created by the public and played on Novaworld. That is also an interesting feature that proves to be very beneficial, even though the maps created by Novaworld are also pretty wonderful.
This game has got to be one of the greatest multiplayer marvels of all time, and will give the various Star Wars and other multiplayer games a run for their money, with almost all players that have Land Warrior already hellbent on picking up this next game in the popular series.
The only down side is the single player missions, but users can also create their own, and multiplayer is all you'll really do once you get the game. It's a great game and i recommend you to purchase it.

Naysaysers have it wrong!

This game has improved graphics over Delta Force Land Warrior. Anybody who says otherwise has NOT tried this game yet. When you are looking through your scope your sights will wobble a bit when standing, but the more secure your stance the less this happens (an improvement over solid stances in DFLW). As an avid gun enthusiast I can say this game has the most realistic aiming and ballistics I have seen yet in a video game. The AI has been improved but not by much.

In another review I read on this site somebody claimed Novalogic never updates their games. I think he should check the Novalogic site as a few weeks ago they released a patch for Delta Force Land Warrior which at least temporarily hampered the cheaters that use trainers which can do such things as unlimited ammo or extreme zooms. I love this game and it is definitely worth buying!

Its LW for Afghanistan

Delta Force is the simply the best FPS. Although Novalogic's engine isn't the best - when it comes to multiplayer nothing else stands in it's way. In addition, the DF community is sure to grasp TFD the same way it has with the other titles. So you can look forward to hundreds of maps and dozens of great mods.

I felt let down...

I can't believe that anybody would say that this game has improved graphics over DFLW. They use the same engine, only this one seems to run slower. And the enemy AI is pathetic. You can almost walk up to some of them before they bother to notice you are there to take their lives. I have been down with the last 3 Delta Force games, but the only thing i can figure is that this last effort(or lack of effort) by Novalogic must be a way to make money before the greatest game, DF Black Hawk Down, gets here. The reason I gave this game 2 stars is because Novalogic had a good idea with letting you choose from 10 different special forces soldiers, and because i love the supressed M4. If you really feel compelled to get this game, then go ahead. But if you can hold out until Black Hawk Down gets here, then wait for it.

To each his, or her, own...

Being a fan of Novalogic's Delta Force series, and military FPS' in general, I was stoked when this game hit the shelves last Summer. This game didn't disappoint me and I'm still playing it regularly 6 months or so later. I've played both SOF's, Rainbow Six, Wolfenstein, etc and none of them grab me like these DF games do; especially DFTFD! Many argue that the Afghanistan backdrop was a marketing device,and make complaints about the game's weak enemy AI, but let's face gaming reality people:

single play is for basic training,what really makes this game is it's multi-play and it's as-you-go miltary ranking system. As anyone who's played these games knows when you make General, after struggling for so long to get there, you really feel like you've accomplished something. Another MAJOR point in favor of this game is the no hassle servers provided by Novalogic. No Game Spy type hassles here, just log on and let that M4 Sopmod rip on automatic. Any game has its problems (Wolfenstein anyone?)
but TFD's are overshadowed by great multi play, up to the minute storyline, new weaponry, and Novalogic's excellent servers. Now that it's less than 20 bucks, with Novalogic's latest
Black Hawk Down arriving in stores in a few days, you won't get so bummed if you dont dig the game.

same as lw but...

It has the same graphics as LW, but has more features and more added gameplay. I suggest buying this.

Four year old computer might need help running it

I've got Delta Force 1 & 2, didn't have too many problems with them (although #2 does seem a little buggier and I had to reinstall it for good operation) and really kind of liked them. When I saw that Task Force Dagger was out I bought it and almost wished I hadn't. According to the specifications you need to have Win 95, 98, 00 or XP and at least a 400 mhz Pentium II with 64-128 mb of RAM and at least a Nvidia TNT graphics card as well as Direct X 7. My 4 year old Gateway has the TNT, a 450 mhz PII, Win 98,128 mb RAM, and I thought was updated to Direct X 7 but the poor old thing won't run this program. Installation was troublesome, I was able to install Direct X 8a, yet later was told that my graphics cards drivers didn't fully support Direct X 7 and that I might need to get updated drivers(that might be hard to do if the company has gone out of business, nVidia can help but provides no tech support if something goes wrong). Part of the time the computer wouldn't even recognize the CD as being the correct one.
I finally did get going only to get a screen that showed the program was giving my computer great difficulties. I'm not sure if I bought a buggy CD, need new graphics card drivers, or just need to reinstall the program.
It turned out that reinstalling helped a little, that and turning most of the FX off. The game itself is just a little different from Delta 1&2 but very interesting although it can be maddeningly difficult at times (esp. with only one gameplay setting). I've seen a few odd little bugs in what I've made it through but with a newer model computer it should work just fine. I don't think I'll spend 100's on a new graphics card to see if that'll make it run better. Those of you with older machines may want to borrow the game from someone first to see if your computer can handle it.

Great Game, Too Many BUGS....

If your a fan of the Delta Force Series, this is still a must. I love it BUT they really rushed to put it out to market. There is a lot of bugs. For one example, The mission: Capture the General that is protected by 3 guards in the tallest building. I never got to the building, I never saw the gaurds, but when I killed the last bad guy outside the building, it said Mission Complete". There a few missions like this. Other missions say kill everyone, and after killing 10 of 15 bad guys, it said the mission was finished. But still it was worth playing because of the current events taking place in the middle east. Time flew while I played it, and finished the game in 2 days. I was disappointed that the campaigns where the same as quick missions, unlike DF past games. Being a sniper in the helicopter was the BEST mission! I can't wait for Blackhawk Down, BUT PLEASE TEST IT!

Not as bad as people make it out to be.

The game boasts improved graphics and sounds as well as the addition of new weapons such as the SLAM which replaces the Satchel charge and the M4SD which will choose to be a worthy replacement for the PSG since it's rate of fire is far superior. Online gaming introduces a new suite of maps which although addicting tend to be too fast in the search and destroy arena. The sniper scopes appear to be off slightly shooting a little higher than the reticle displays. Sounds have been improved so that the weapons closely match their real world counterparts. Unfortunately cheaters have plagued the Nova servers since the first month so if playing online be prepared for the 35MPH belly crawler. Despite the short missions and online annoyances the single player boasts a tiny increase in difficulty from it's predecessor. Like their DFLW counterparts, these enemy when not standing totally still or facing the wrong direction, frequently run around in a stupor but tend to be a little more accurate. I have played the game at it's highest level of difficulty and the enemy has continuously proven to be idiots. All in all it is an enjoyable game and the variety of missions available both on and offline make it worth purchasing once the price drops which has already happened once.

Rating 8.0 -DOVF~ SabreWolf (sniper)

Best game of the four.

In Task Force Dagger they added a few weapons and incorporated more missions with caves and city infiltrations. I've played all the Delta Force games and this one is by far my favorite. They didn't change the flavor like many developers do, so you still get the original Delta Force game play. There are more weapons and more detailed missions but it's not different or enhanced from the previous games. I can't wait until Black Hawk Down comes out, now that looks awesome!
