A fun and simple first person shooter

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.

Going on ten years old - but still immensely fun

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.

DELTA FORCE will rock your world.

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)

Nifty and fun, but limited.

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.

A Great Game

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.

As close as you can get to reality

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!

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

Great For Older Computers

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. ...

Delta Force, lacking some important stuff.

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.)

A MUST HAVE GAME FOR COMBAT GAMERS

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.
