  • Summary: The world's most deadly fighting force is back in all new multiplayer combat Delta Force: Xtreme 2 (DFX2) for the PC. The sequel to Delta Force: Xtreme is supported by the NovaWorld Community, a multiplayer network that provides smoother, faster and seamless gameplay for up to 150 players per game. With 10 single-player missions and nine co-op missions within two campaigns, players immerse themselves into the Delta Force experience by battling enemies in Asia. Now available for download from www.novalogic.com, Valve, Direct2Drive and RealNetworks and at retail locations nationwide, DFX2 carries the recession busting price of just $29.99 (MSRP). DFX2 offers intense military gameplay in stunning 1080p Full HD and Dolby 7.1 Surround sound, and with game servers placed strategically around the world, the NovaWorld Community provides the gameplay that fans demand. Featuring 20 content-rich multiplayer maps, DFX2 supports five of the most popular game types: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Team King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, and Flagball. Each detailed map has something for everyone, from large, vehicle heavy battlefields to small, intense engagement zones. In addition to the feature-loaded multiplayer experience, gamers of all skill levels can mix it up in two heart-pounding single-player or co-operative campaigns where players assume the role of a Delta Force operator sent to Asia to bring a drug cartel and former Soviet mercenaries to justice. The NovaWorld Community allows every element of the gameplay, from the enhanced ballistics to the innovative in-vehicle spawn system, to be carefully coordinated to support a fully balanced experience where teamwork is deadlier than individual firepower, and in DFX2, intelligence and creativity are rewarded as much as fast-twitch reflexes. The game also ships with a powerful MED level editor, which will allow gamers full utilization of game assets to create their own levels, including additional multiplayer game types.

  1. With its archaic graphics, dull missions and a flawed game balance, only the multi-player part saves this game from being a total disappointment. But that alone can't justify its existence.
  2. 48
    The only thing that's "xtreme" about this game is how extremely mediocre it is. The missions are uninspired, the authenticity is lacking, the servers are under-populated but, hey, at least it looks dated, right?
  3. This game’s failure was perfectly described back in 1865 by Lewis Carroll: "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!" You can't stop the progress.
  4. A general lack of polish that makes me wonder if NovaLogic even care about the games they make any more. [Dec 2009, p.74]

    This is a step up from the original DFX as already mentioned with more guns to choose from and some awesome maps. I have always liked Nova games for the bigger maps and playstyle. You can't beat the price and I'm sure all the servers will soon be full, and you have all kinds of different "battlle tactics" to choose from in each map!!! there's something for everybody So what are you waiting for???

  2. I m giving 6 out of 10 for it

    Graphics:-
    Pretty nice graphics and more attractive than previous versions.Trees,grass,river everything is good
    .Trees are of similar type that 1 prob i noticed.But the real problem lies in building.Building n house seems to be of paper made and look very dull.Also vehicles heli,car,boat etc not so gud.Charecter facer similar and not strength.Overall i m giving a medium rating for its graphics

    Game play:-
    Gun r not surface finish,no recoils while shooting.right click zooming is excellent.Binocular also gud.One major problem in game play is "No proper proggramming".What i say means just follow walkthrough on the campaign "monsoon Alley" second mission "barricade".
    After completing all objectives me(bravo) walk to the river side.THE HELICOPTER DOESN'T COMING DOWN' .this is a real problem that i faced.Finally i restartd the mission then at tthe end helicopter came down.and level completed successfully.Also in the same mission "barricade" i destroyed 1 old boat barricade with c4 charger.so not enogh gape for the bravos boat to go with.but whn i jump on to the boat it start running and hit on the bridge piller.and nothing happens.there also i restarted the game.Very bad.

    This game is lacking....the rest of the Delta Force games for their time were excellent, and awsome multiplayer. The last Delta Force game i played was "Land Warrior" where you had to actually configure your scope to compensate for the drop and wind angle to make solid shot 1000 yards away. In this game u just point and shoot, no physics......so borring, graphics suck, sound sucks, gameplay sucks...Delta force used to be the #1 online fps back in the day, obviously not anymore....i give it a 5 out of respect for the earlier games..........dont buy this one. Ima cry myself to sleep on how they fu*ked this one up :( Expand
  4. I had hopes on this game. I installed it, started to play, and played for 10 minutes, and then I exited it. I deleted it, because this game is not only bad, It is a "xtremely" disappointing. While the maps are huge, the gameplay is lame, and It's a copycat of Battlefield. So, this game is created in 2009, and I can't believe it, because, graphically this game is quite horrible. What makes me even more mad, is the campaign. It was horrible. Multiplayer is quite better than the singleplayer, but even multiplayer is bad, I don't recommend this game! 30 out of 100 Expand
