Does anyone here play Novalogic Delta force games (land warrior, blackhawk down, or task force dagger), and does anyone have the 10 anvirsery packet?

I used to love Delta Force 2, the graphics weren't the best in the world(they weren't bad though either, jsut grainy because of the rendering tech) but the voxel engine actually made for a fairly realistic environment since it rendered all the folliage and grass realisticly. When you killed someone in multiplayer they didn't get one of those death cams that shows you where you were killed from and you couldn't float around waiting to respawn to figure out where people were hiding. It was probably one of the more realistic games to snipe people in since you could have maps a mile or so big and you had to adjust your scopes for bullet drop. The realistc folliage above made staying low imperative and the sniper's ghillie suits really worked, so you could slip out of the grass and blast someone then slip back down a hill or something to hide.
Landwarrior was a load of fun but since it was the first game in the series to use a true polygonal 3D engine the levels felt much more sparse(especially since it was mostly desert based) and never really could bring quite the feel to me of DF2 though I did actually play LW more and racked up tons of kills(it was the first multiplayer game I had when I got DSL so I played it more then DF2 which I'd been playing with a 56k over AOL to make it worse). I wish they'd make a new game like DF2 that didn't feel too arcadey but isn't too hyper realistic either. DF2 remade with modern rendering and adding in vehicles would be nice. |
