God, the memories I have of this game. Delta Force 2 was the first video game I ever played on Multiplayer, and I stood by it throughout my childhood years. I would stay up all night, making my parents extremely angry. It was so much fun. A truly revolutionary game from a Golden Era that has passed.

I bet if NovaLogic did the simple task of making this game work online again , almost every single person that ever played this game would buy is again full price just to play online! its fun as ♥♥♥♥ and it brings back the good ol days

This is what I was doing over the 1999-2000 new year instead of celebrations or whatever, and it was much better.

this game, no matter how ugly it looks, is a mans game. i played this when i was younger on my windows 95 pc, my dad would get mad because i would always be up playing this game endlessly. this is bringing back so many memories. in my honest opinion, this is the first ever ArmA game, one or two well placed shots you are dead, one or two misplaced shots and you are dead. the missions are great and require a bit of thought, trust me this is not a call of duty game, the enemies are lethal and are constantly on the move, if you take out one patrol the other patorls will make there way to that location. the maps are pretty big and open, even though there is a waypoint-ish system, you are completly free to do the mission from any angle and elavation you would like or can get to. there are not a big selection of weapons and gear, but it gets the job done, my preffered weapon of choice is the trusty M4 with the grenade launcher attachment. another cool thing about this game (correct me if i am wrong) is this is the first delta force game that has bullet drop, not only that, but the bullet is an actual projectile in the game, when you shoot you can see where it goes and the drop it has, so you cant easily shoot a guy from 1000+ meters away, you have to adjust to the drop as well as the movment of the target. so, can i recommend this game? Absolutly if you dont mind the obviously dated graphics. I bought this game for two reasons, 1) its one hellava game and 2) over the years my original cd had quite a bit of use and was rendered unplayable. I can honestly say that i put easily over thousands of hours into this game, since it first came out till this day, and you can bet your ass those hours will continue to go up. i should also mention that since this is a game that came out in the 90's the controls are akward, when you start the game dont go pressing wasd thinking you will move as thats not the case, to move you have to use the arrow keys. the audio is not to bad either, i mean its not Battlefield's Ear porn but its still not to bad.

Probabilmente il mio primo Fps, al quale sono molto affezionato perché facente parte della mia infanzia...
Gameplay:
Si è al comando di un soldato, da creare, e si hanno a disposizione 20 tipi di missioni rapide diverse e 14 campagne, affiancati dalle squadre alleate Alfa e Charlie. Inoltre il gioco dispone di un editor per creare scenari da giocare.
(uno tra i primi Fps ad non avere barra della vita)

If only Steam had been around when this game was fresh, I could have tracked the endless hours I poured into it. There aren't many first person shooters out there that could beat what this had to offer at the time. Expansive maps, excellent sniping, and a huge and dedicated community. If dfbarracks, df radio, or dfgirls ring a bell to you, you'll know what I'm talking about.

This was the most amazing game I ever played. Back then, on the Novalogic servers, nobody cared about kill/death ratios. We just played & had fun.

Game was very very hard at 1st. One shot & you're dead. Then, I got good.
I used to sleep next to my computer, wake up & play all day again.

It's my dream the servers would go back up.

The delta force games are the best old school fps games there is.

Would you believe this game still has a multiplayer community? From 1999!?
Clearly that is a sign of a good game, or at least a very memorable game. Delta Force 2 was a flat improvement over the original Delta Force. Core Design, simple character customization, pre-mission load outs, and more were fleshed out. Delta Force 2 looks simplistic and has a lot of bugs, but this game will always be what got me into military/tactical shooters!

TO START- The best way to run this thing (I'm using Windows 10.) is to download two key patches from the NovaHQ website (to play online if wanted & to prevent the random crashes) and also to run this game in compatibility mode (I utilize WindowsME and it's great but Windows 98/2000/XP will do fine I am told- even running w/o without compat mode.) That all squared away, you'll be playing this game as intended with no frills; That's how I recommend enjoying it.

Starting off I will simply say this is my favorite Delta Force title and I'd confidently say this is objectively the best Delta Force game despite it's age. TL;DR- I recommend this game if you can look past and appreciate it's age and jank. It's simply good fun and I miss Novalogic. I wish they were in charge of the coming reboot. (Hawk Ops.)

Take it for what it is. An early tactical shooter from '99 that utilizes an engine with Voxel-based graphics. So it isn't very pretty to look at unless you appreciate that old school look. It's very basic. The difference between Delta Force and other early tactical shooters prior to OFP/ArmA is that Delta Force was probably the first to feature large outdoor terrain that featured bullet drop and wind. That's what I would say separates Delta Force from the rest. While the AI isn't anything to write home about, there are a plethora of missions to embark upon with a variety of objectives ranging from rescuing hostages to taking command posts. From the defensive to the offensive, there is no shortage of action in this game. You're just playing the role of a Delta Force operator.

For starters, the controls are outdated. I have not tried playing this game with a controller. Keyboard and mouse? I recommend re figuring the controls. It isn't hard or time consuming and it's easy to modernize. Just change them to 'WASD' in the settings and whatever you're comfortable with. That being said, settings are fairly basic. General difficulty from Normal-Hard (I don't really know the difference) among other things like wind and such.

This is a tactical shooter - not quite as elaborate as far as the modern ones go, but as stated above environments are all outdoors and pretty long distance. Similar to ArmA in the regard that terrain and distance play a role in the game play, and if you so choose to have wind in your game, that could also be a factor. That being stated, there isn't much else to it. One bullet can drop most any enemy type other than vehicles and the player isn't much different. Playing like Rambo can get you killed fairly easily. Some missions can be quite a headache, but overall it isn't very difficult. The game play loop? Walk, point, shoot, duck, repeat; Occasionally pull the LAW out to tackle a vehicle or two. Not too difficult or sweaty. Basic stuff. Most missions there are few friendly AI (Alpha/Charlie) to support you.

There are 2 campaigns of about 12 missions each taking place in about 5 different countries. One of the campaigns involve you chasing biological agents and the other involves you chasing nuclear weapons. There are also about 20 sommat side missions with a variety of difficulty and challenges all over the globe. It's a good bit of content single player wise and along with that the game comes with a mission editor, so you could make you very own missions. That being said, it'll take a bit of time to learn and it is a bit janky - so use at your own discretion. The website, NovaHQ, has custom missions to download made by a bunch of different people so essentially there is no shortage of content. I like that a lot.

Multiplayer does in fact work, however outside of the weekend it is mostly dead and only really played by a very small amount of people that used to play back in the day. Like stated above, you'll need to download the two patches from NovaHQ to get it to work. It isn't very hard. There's everything from TDM to Co-Op. It's good fun on the right maps. But again, it's practically dead. You'll only really enjoy it if you have memories of it in the past.

Overall, I DO recommend this game. It's one of the early tactical shooters that helped define the genre and I have fond memories of playing it in the past. To this day it provides me with good fun and I definitely think you should check it out. It isn't any ArmA or some super complicated simulator. Doesn't take too much time to get into but it isn't some mindless FPS. I can't put it all in text. If you get a chance, check it out.
