I am partial to delta force games as it was my first PC game addiction back in 1998. I like the delta force series games just because of the endless maps. Its not always about graphics, it's about game play and how much fun you have playing. I love games that have no boundries and you can hunt someone for miles before you finally get them. Plus all the close quarters maps where you seem to die every 2 seconds but get in a few kills before you die. My kind of game. I love the delta force series!

Clocking in at under 4 hours, this is one of the shortest first-person-shooter experiences out there. The ten missions the game offers are at least engaging and well-crafted, making for a short but sweet gaming experience. While more would've been better, sometimes less is more.

Xtreme 2 falls short in terms of gameplay innovation compared to its predecessor, but it introduces some changes to provide a fresh look and feel in certain aspects. Notably, the game offers improved freedom in approaching various situations, allowing players to tackle missions differently. While this may not significantly enhance replay value, the option to change strategies adds a welcome element to the experience. Considering that the sniping was the only satisfying part of the original Xtreme, I'm glad to report that Xtreme 2 elevates gameplay by enabling players to access scattered vehicles on the map, which marks a great addition. A word of caution: expect some frustrating moments, such as unexpected appearances of enemy soldiers behind you or sudden sniper and RPG shots seemingly out of nowhere.

The core gameplay in Xtreme 2 closely resembles its predecessor, with improvements in weapon handling and an elevated demand for strategic thinking. The AI opponents now pose a more significant challenge, requiring players to strategize rather than rely on a reckless approach. Some soldiers are intentionally challenging to spot, introducing an element of difficulty. However, there are drawbacks. When engaging a group of soldiers in the distance, they tend to charge directly toward the player upon opening fire, making them easy targets. Additionally, soldiers trapped inside buildings remain stationary forever, and it presents a noteworthy issue in missions requiring the elimination of all enemy presence, leading to dull searches.

Triggering a checkpoint without eliminating nearby enemy soldiers can result in an instant death respawn. Upon respawn, all nearby enemies immediately target the player, making it impossible to escape without repeated deaths. This issue is particularly evident with RPGs and 50 Cal turrets, making it impossible to survive without restarting the mission. In summary, while Delta Force: Xtreme 2 lacks groundbreaking innovation, it introduces subtle changes that enrich the gameplay experience. Despite certain flaws, such as predictable enemy behavior and respawn challenges, the introduction of vehicle interaction, and strategic elements, the game maintains an equal level of enjoyment through its short playthrough.

Xtreme 2 introduces noticeable improvements in graphics and sound quality, but it tends to fall back to the foundation of the original Xtreme game more than I'd like. While the environments are denser and more expansive, there's still a sense of emptiness reminiscent of its predecessor. The sound quality has undergone some enhancements, yet it largely relies on the sound effects and design of the first game. On a positive note, the radio chatter exhibits more realistic communication. Fortunately, the mouse jitter issue that plagued the previous Xtreme game has been resolved. However, the problem with gameplay movement animations persists. The hand animations lack a sense of polish and completion, resembling the feel of playing an online game with a 500 ms ping – an unusual and less-than-ideal sensation known as frustration.

The Delta Force game series has traditionally not prioritized storytelling, and this trend continues in Xtreme 2. This installment offers two campaigns containing a total of ten different missions. While the replayability diminishes after completion, there's room for experimentation as players can try different approaches in each mission, enjoying a degree of freedom. Regrettably, the multiplayer component is virtually inactive, given the shutdown of the NovaLogic online services. Nevertheless, the single-player experience is still playable, featuring ten well-crafted and excellent missions. Although, a "certain" fix must be applied to the game. You can read more about this fix at the end of the review.

I was pleasantly surprised by the way Delta Force: Xtreme 2 maximized the capabilities of my high-refresh rate monitor. While Xtreme 2 doesn't differ from the original Xtreme release in many ways, considering that even selecting a 16:9 wide-screen resolution was restricted, this was a nice surprise. Notably, I haven't encountered any slowdowns, stuttering, or lag issues, and the overall game stability exceeds that of any previous Delta Force installment I've played. Despite these positive aspects, it's frustrating that PC-specific settings are absent in the game. At least the modern resolutions are natively supported, which is one of the most important things the game can offer.

Delta Force: Xtreme 2 provides an enjoyable albeit brief gaming experience. While it may not revolutionize the genre, the subtle improvements in gameplay, graphics, and technical stability over its predecessors make it a worthwhile addition to the Delta Force series.

Had NovaLogic online services not been stopped, a significant number of negative reviews would likely not exist. The primary cause behind these negative reviews stems from the game's activation issues. Delta Force: Xtreme 2 can't be activated using the provided serial number. Fortunately, there exists a simple workaround for this problem. If you find yourself in need of assistance with the activation fix, please don't hesitate to reach out, and I'll gladly provide you with detailed instructions.

Delta Force Xtreme 2 feels like a coop game only In all missions you will find yourself alone with no teammates along with boats or vehicles near the starting point. The biggiest downfall is that once you install the game you wont be able to play the game just yet. YOu will have to make a nova account and activate the CD key in order to even play the singple player and the online. Once you made an account and log on, you will find that the games online mode is still alive and living well with most servers on mods and coop servers. This game is a let down from black hawk down but BETTER Than the DF xtreme 1

Shorter missions than Xtreme, but better gameplay when it comes to single player. Wish theres more though.

Delta Force Xtreme 2 is the 8th and final game in the series. There are only 10 single player missions (5 for 2 campaign) which took a couple of hours to beat. Like Xtreme 1 there are ample enemies with the same brain-dead AI as usual. Once the enemies see you they all start to shoot you and rush you. You will be quickly overwhelemed but due to the generous respawn system there's no problem just spraying and respawning. If you have continued to enjoy the Delta Force series then you will like these 10 brand new missions. I also hopped onto multiplayer and still saw a handful of players with a dozen of servers still up. Delta Force's highlight has always been the multiplayer. Thanks for all of the memories Novalogic, hopefully in the future we may see a new Delta Force. Delta Force games always allowed the player the non-linear freedom in the vast terrain to approach the missions how they want and play the game they want, which is missing in a lot of linear shooters nowadays.

Well....After 4 hours of playing for the first time I can say this that Delta Force Xtreme is much better than Xtreme 2.Why ?Well I tell you why in Xtreme 2 the missions are much more repetitive like really it tries to make it feel like the old one from the '90 but it didn't work.Some missions are literally walking simulator on almost empty map.This game has only 2 Campaigns and I can that the first one was ok than the second ,the second was like mediocre in my opinion.Sometimes the AI is very iritating like the Autoaim or getting headshoot from very long distance without an accuracy or something .Another thing that was very much annoying it was the lag spikes.
Now if you want to play for the first time this game and see it for yourself buy it on a sale .
But after you will done playing Xtreme 2 you will realize that even now Delta Force : Black Hawk Down is still one of the best Delta Force Game in the series.

This game is great, massive maps, loads of classes, weapons and transport, yer the nova graphics engine is a bit dated but i been playing nova since black hawk down came out all them years ago, worth a buy if its on sale....

Please don't listen to the recent negative reviews, they're too lazy to read the guides to fix the game

Multiplayer was working fine until THQ sold it out to Tencent / Timi Studios. I believe Novalogic was still maintaining the key activation server until the IP was sold and they were told to leave it dead in the water from the looks of it. Until Timi or someone revives the activation server you won't be able to play multiplayer or use your Novaworld login.

The singe-player campaign is still playable, chances are LAN COOP still work too. Please read the community discussions and guides for the fix

The Delta Force Series games are wonderfully done and well laid out. With each game there are a bunch of missions to complete and things to blow up. The graphics in these games are old school. The shooting in the games can get frustrating at times because you might get headshot from a AI that you can't see. Just take each level slow and steady and for the most part you can kill enemies really far away since there is no bullet drop. The missions can also get frustrating since if you fail something in the mission you might be put right back at the beginning of the level and might rage quit because it was hard to get to a certain point. Just remember quick save and save alot while playing to avoid frustration. The online portion of these games are still alive, but you might have to go looking in some of these Delta Force games. Ive really enjoyed playing these classics from beginning to end and I know you will too if you are a army buff and enjoy a good old fashion First Person Shooter.

The Delta Force series was ahead of its time, sleek, user friendly and loads of fun. The best of em is BlackHawkDown.
