Delta Force 2
Ok one thing we have to remember here is that Delta Force 2 is a very old game, released approx 1999 –2000. Its graphics are very old so I am writing this review from the perspective of what this game was like on its initial release at that time. In delta force 2 you have about 45 single player missions, Each fairly tough to complete and in the style of taking out terrorist installations, supply lines and freeing hostages etc. Again one of the fun things about this game is the weapons and especially the sound of the weapons. The saw sounds amazing and you can almost feel the weight and force of this gun when you let off a volley of bullets. Very impressive. Like wise the 50 cal sniper rifle sounds fantastic and you really feel that when you let off a bullet it is going to change the course of the battle whether it hits or Misses. You are also aware that in Multiplayer mode you can be located by the sound of the rifle going off such is the nature of the game and leave yourself open to knife attack. The weapons certainly draw you in and remain a very attractive feature of the game. One possible downside is the graphics on the game. Yes it is old now but at the time Novalogic chose to go with the voxel space 32 3d engine. This means that instead of using nice polygons that we all so dearly love instead we get grainy voxels which can lead to raggy edges on some objects such as people, vehicles trees and buildings. This was a shame, but again, the weapons and game play as well as its fantastic multiplayer feature online at Novalogic made up for this, making the game hard to stop playing at the best of times. All in all Delta force 2 wins on the design, Multiplayer, and weapons side of things and is let down slightly by the graphic side of things. If you search through the Novalogic servers today I believe that there are still some DF2 servers up and at least a couple of hundred people still playing. Surely this speaks volumes about a game that is 3 years short of a decade old, indeed a timeless classic and set the bar high for this type of genre. Congrats Novaworld.
