Sept. 2025
You know what's cool? Delta Force. You know what's not cool? The current IP owners turning it into a F2P slop title. There's your explanation for why this game exists and what it is. They do add a lot of new(to Delta Force, because some retard couldn't figure that out) tactical shooter mechanics like leaning, an inventory system and suppression mechanics designed to scare the shit out of you when you get shot at. If you liked those games, the only thing you'll miss is the mission editor, but they're going to add that too. There are some negatives, for example the AI. They're dogshit stupid right now, only really capable of doing some basic activities like hiding in the grass, shooting at you, moving toward you and throwing smoke grenades. That can be fixed in due time and will be, so it's more of a temporary setback. The crunchy PS1 style graphics. They do just mean you can't fucking actually see 100 meters away without using your binoculars. If it wasn't for the forced pixelation, the game would just objectively be better. Nostalgiac, low polygon count models? Sure. Textures that you can see the entire pixel makeup of? Absolutely. Everything blending together because there's no LOD, anisotropic filtering, mipmapping, DLAA, DLSS, etc. etc. to smooth out the image past fifty meters or so? Fucking obnoxious. It was a flaw in the original game caused by technology and low resolution. In this one it just means you have to make liberal use of the binoculars to see anything. Generally speaking I'd prefer it if I could just use my eyes when the enemy is close enough to tongue wrestle with, but whatever. As for the gameplay itself, it's fun, it's classic. The gear and characters are all 90's Delta Operation fair. You can even select your patches, which are ported over from Ground Branch in a weird sharing of assets. You're a tier one operator fighting against primarily civilian militias, so they can't hit the broadside of a barn and aren't going to bust out high level organized tactics. This makes sense, it should not be changed unless they decide to add professional military opposition. It's not like Arma where a third world farmer who just grabbed a rifle for the first time can separate your skull from your spine with perfect accuracy at 500 meters without even a ranging shot.

If you played any of the early 90s Delta Force games like Delta Force 1 & 2 and Land Warrior or honestly, even the old Tom Clancy games like Rogue Spear, etc, you will love this game. The old 1990s Delta Force games were my first PC gaming experience when I was 8 years old and also my first online gaming experience. I have so many good memories meeting new people through DF2, joining clans, playing scrims, prone/stand glitching up buildings and getting mad at people using trainers to grenade spam. This game fully brought me back to being 8 again. The nostalgic feeling is absolutely intense on this. I really hope the game gets the attention it deserves because it's great fun in SP. I'm sure the COOP is really fun too. I think it would be cool if you added multiplayer PVP as well and allowed modding. I'm sure some of us oldheads would love to get into that.

If you're in your 30's or 40's you probably remember playing Delta Force back in the day. If you at all enjoyed that style of game you should give this a shot.

Unlike that Battlefield clone by Tencent, this is the true successor to Novalogic's Delta Force. It is a bit buggy, but I'm sure those will get cleaned up as the game continues to develop.

This game claims to be a spiritual successor to the legendary Delta Force series from the '90s and early 2000s, and actually is. It delivers. Has some work to go but the early access tag should be self explanatory. Highly recommended for: [*]Anyone who still remembers what voxel graphics are [*]Millennials approaching mid-life crisis looking for purpose via long-range headshots [*]Anyone who got yelled at for tying up the phone line while downloading mods
