Hűh... a nemrégiben újrajátszott Delta Force: Black Hawk Down során kicsit alulértékeltem magamban a játékot és azt gondoltam, annak idején biztosan csak a tapasztalatlanságom miatt szenvedtem annyit a játék során, de a Team Sabre azonnal lekevert egy kurva nagy pofont és helyrerázott, megerősített engem abban a hitemben, hogy ezek a játékok valóban nehezek voltak, és még most is képesek kihívással szolgálni a gyanútlan játékosok számára. Szóval ott tartottam, hogy állandóan megfeledkeztem ennek a remek játéknak a kiegészítőlemezéről és mivel annak idején ezt sem sikerült végigvinnem szintén a... mondjuk úgy tapasztalatlanságom és a nagyszerű technológiának köszönhetően (na jó, igazából ♥♥♥♥ volt a gépem) most úgy gondoltam szembeszállok a kihívással és... 10 év után ez a játék megint a ribancává tett és emlékeztetett, ki az úr a háznál. A Team Sabre Iránon kívül immáron Kolumbia erdős részeibe is elkalauzol, és itt mutatja csak ki igazán a foga fehérjét. Az ellenséges katonák remek előnyben részesülnek a sűrű bozót és farengetegben, elég egyetlen óvatlan pillanatban nem odafigyelni és BUMMM, máris alánkrottyasztottak egy rakétavetővel. Megannyi könnycsepp és verejték árán sikerült csak egyes pályákat teljesíteni, amin nem segít a limitált mentésszám sem, szóval egy párszor neki kellett futnom néhány küldetésnek és magamban tervet készítve, a megfelelő pillanatban mentve sikerült nagy nehezen átvergődni a halálzónán. Egyébként maga az AI nem is lenne olyan rossz, mert sok esetben a játékosnak teret nem hagyva rohan előre és darál le mindenkit a picsába, minimális emberveszteséggel és még a hátulról meglepetésszerűen érkező ellenfeleket is villámreakcióval lövi pofán, szóval ezzel teljesen meg voltam elégedve. Jó, voltak bizonyos pontok, amikor szerencsétlen társam fennakadt egy tereptárgyban és vissza kellett érte mennem, mert a pálya közepén egyszer csak azt vettem észre, hogy az a nyomorult már megint nincs mögöttem, és elkezdtem pánikolni, vajon hol dögölhetett meg. Ugyan úgy a parancsosztogatás sem mindig működik, mert valamikor inaktív az egész rendszer, máskor meg csak lazán ignorálják a kiadott utasítást. Pedig időként nem ártott volna, ha mondjuk nem szaladnak be a .50 cal elé, amikor az ellenséges járműveket sorozom, vagy nem szaladnának be kaján vigyorral az arcukon a közeledő rakéta elé... Vagy ha a játék konstans módon nem hozna gamebreaking döntéseket, nulla esélyt adva ezzel a továbbhaladásra; konkrét példa erre az, hogy az AA ágyúkat az AT4-es rakétavető nem képes szétrombolni, viszont a satchel charge igen... ooookkkkéééééééééé ezt mondjuk nem igazán értem hogy... most így miért... és ki tartotta ezt jó ötletnek... (Szerencsére ez és az ehhez hasonló momentumok csak a ritkábbik eset) A további hibáit nem sorolom, mert azok megegyeznek az alapjátéknál említett ötlettelenségekkel, de így visszatekintve a játékra sokkal jobban élveztem, mint bármely mai lövöldét. Igaz voltak pontok, amikor többször is neki kellett futnom egy bevetésnek, de mégsem éreztem azt a szintű frusztráltságot, amit bármely újabb játéknál szoktam. Hogy miért? Mert tisztában voltam vele, hogy a saját balfaszságom miatt bukom el a missziót és újra kell terveznem a bevetés egyes részeit. Ugyan akkor még mindig értetlenkedve állok a tény előtt, hogy ezt a témát alig vette elő bármely nagyobb fejlesztőstúdió is. Pedig lehet itt lenne már az ideje elhagyni a futurisztikus baromságokat...

Jó kis kiegészitő az alaphoz. Már nem csak a kopár sivatagban kell harcolni hanem a gizes-gazos Kolumbiában is ahol a drog kartellt kell felszámolni akik alattomos módon bújnak meg a növényzet sűrűjében.

General Description
Good old days' FPS action-oriented game. It is a pure shooter where tactics are basic and what it counts is to eradicate enemy resistance.

Campaigns
There are 3 campaigns: Somalia, Colombia and Iran.

Protagonist
Most of the time you'll play as a Delta Force operator with a decent destructive arsenal at his disposal (e.g.M16 (with M203 attached), CAR15, G36C, M21, M40, Barrett .50 Cal, AT4, M1911, M249, M60, and so on).

Enemies
Enemies are not well-trained so the AI has been designed to be "stupid" in order to simulate untrained troops. Most of the enemies are thugs and bandits with the exception of the Iranian rebel army. Their weapons are mostly AK47s, .50 Cals, and even Miniguns and mortars sometimes. Enemy vehicles consist of technicals with .50 cals (or recoiless guns) mounted on their back, trucks and in one instance a Little Bird with MGs.

Some Gameplay Issues
No realistic ballistics, no weapon sway, no stamina.

Levels
Blackhawk insertions make you feel badass and the majority of the levels begins like that. There are various objectives in each mission: capture an enemy VIP, defend a building, S&D.

A really good action-oriented game

Thanks for reading.

To me the Delta Force game's have always been a big part of my gaming life. It was the first FPS I played on PC and even though there are more choices out now then there was back then I still choose to play this game because it's just one of those games that once you get hooked you'll always come back for more.

One of the best games ever made, i started Modding on this game so many memories worth a try!.

My first ever tactical game i ever played, help me bad times in my childhood become better from my old crap PC, i will never forget you, i am hoping i will have enough strength to do a Remake of your missions in Arma 3, maybe not all of they but at least enough that i could feel grateful.

My childhood game I love this :D. Classic feeling FPS game. Although not as outstanding as Halo or Half-Life series games, still the old memory. Recommend for players who like classic quick death FPS game(Few shoots would get player or enemy kill.).

Not recommend for players who like an assortment types of enemy that players would only encounter ten loads of militias with AK-47 and RPG(and several crocodiles).

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down offers an extensive first-person-shooter experience spanning approximately 10-12 hours. Despite the strengths of the PC version, my personal preference leans strongly towards the PlayStation 2 release, which I played for countless hours.

Rating: 16/20

One of the standout features of Black Hawk Down is its original gameplay. The missions are well-designed, offering a mix of stealth, tactical planning, and intense firefights. The game captures the core of modern warfare, providing a sense of vulnerability and tension as players navigate the chaotic streets of Mogadishu. The game introduces a more detailed and realistic environment, with enhanced character models and improved weapon animations, contributing to gameplay. The mission briefings and real-time voice communications further immerse players in the narrative, creating a sense of connection among squad members. Drivable vehicles in some missions add a layer of versatility to the gameplay. Black Hawk Down succeeds in delivering a more realistic portrayal of special operations compared to its predecessors.

The AI is more responsive and adaptive, contributing to a strengthened sense of challenge. Squadmates display improved intelligence, making gameplay more engaging. The game also implements realistic damage models, emphasizing the importance of cover and strategic positioning. However, occasional AI pathfinding issues and scripted events can break immersion. Despite its many strengths, Black Hawk Down is not without its flaws. Some mission objectives can feel repetitive, and the overall campaign length may leave players wanting more. The lack of a comprehensive tutorial may be challenging for newcomers, requiring them to adapt quickly to the game's mechanics. This game is the best Delta Force has probably ever been gameplay-wise.

Rating: 15/20

Released in 2003, Delta Force: Black Hawk Down showcases decent graphics. The game features expansive outdoor environments and urban landscapes, allowing players to explore the war-torn streets of Mogadishu. The terrain and structures are adequately detailed, providing realistic locations. While the textures may appear somewhat dated by today's standards, the game's visual design still holds and delivers a respectable war-torn atmosphere.

Sound plays a crucial role in any military shooter, and Delta Force: Black Hawk Down excels in this department. The weapon sounds are authentic, delivering a satisfying punch that immerses players in the chaos of battle. Environmental sounds, such as distant gunfire and explosions, contribute to the overall ambiance, enhancing the sense of realism. The voice acting, however, can be hit or miss, with some characters delivering their lines convincingly while others may sound a bit stiff. Despite this, the overall sound quality enhances the gaming experience and adds to the game's immersive qualities.

The game's musical score is subtle but effective, complementing the on-screen action without overpowering it. The soundtrack consists of atmospheric and tension-building compositions that intensify during crucial moments. For me, the music pieces are memorable and enhance the mood. The absence of a standout theme might be a missed opportunity, but the subdued musical approach aligns well with the game's realistic and gritty tone.

The animations serve their purpose, providing a realistic portrayal of military movements and combat scenarios. The character animations, especially during intense firefights, convey a sense of urgency and tension. However, there are moments when the animations feel slightly dated, lacking the fluidity and attention to detail seen in other titles at the time. Despite this, the animations effectively contribute to the overall immersion, making the gaming experience engaging and believable.

Rating: 14/20

The campaign offers players a diverse and engaging experience as they step into the boots of a Delta Force operative deployed in war-torn Somalia. One of the standout features is its authentic representation of the military operations during that period. From the chaotic streets of Mogadishu to the deserted landscapes, the attention to detail is admirable, providing a realistic and gritty setting for the unfolding events. The missions are well-crafted and varied, showcasing the versatility of the Delta Force operatives. Players find themselves in high-stakes hostage rescues, intense urban combat, and stealthy surveillance missions. The game successfully balances action and strategy, requiring players to think tactically and make split-second decisions to survive the unforgiving battlefield.

Rating: 12/20

While the game occasionally exhibits choppiness, even with frame rates exceeding 300, I discovered that setting a frame rate cap at 180FPS resolves the stability issues. The game experiences severe fluctuations, and running the game with unlocked FPS feels inconsistent, creating a perception of stuttering, although it's not actually showing on the performance analysis tools. If you encounter such problems, applying a frame rate lock at 180 FPS ensures a consistently smooth gameplay experience.

Other than this, I experienced an occasional crash or two. Also, the game plays only in 4:3 aspect ratio resolutions and supports odd resolutions like 1920x1440. The game's anti-aliasing seems unavailable, but it's not a considerable drawback, assuming that a higher 4:3 resolution cleans up most of the jagged edges. The lack of vsync support makes for a less smooth gameplay experience infested with screen tearing, and forcing vsync in the Nvidia control panel introduces freezing and frame time inconsistencies.

Rating: 72/100

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down offers a compelling first-person-shooter experience with a diverse and engaging campaign. The gameplay, featuring original missions with a mix of stealth and intense firefights, captures the essence of modern warfare. The AI improvements contribute to a challenging experience, although occasional issues and repetitive objectives exist. The 2003 graphics, while somewhat dated, still create a respectable war-torn atmosphere.

Wow playing this game brings back so many wonderful memories in days of yore when my life was simple and graphics were simpler. Defenintly a great game for nostalgia gamers like me.

Since Delta Force Black Hawk Down has been delisted from steam that means you can't purchase Team Sabre either and both games now suffer the same fate. This is probably because of the new "Delta Force" game called Hawk Ops which will most likely be a futuristic cash grab that nobody wants and will fail miserably that's why they delisted these two games so new players are forced to buy their trash
