Many missions feature allied Delta Force teams which follow commands predefined by the mission design, and who can also be issued orders by the player. Objectives typically involve eliminating all hostile presence in a specific location, rescuing hostages, or destroying enemy vehicles and facilities. Missions consist of a series of objectives while navigation points indicate what to do, the player is free to approach the targets as he sees fit. The game has an emphasis on realism, with human enemies and the player alike being very vulnerable to damage from weapons, and projectiles being subject to wind conditions. The action takes place in vast outdoor environments and combat distances reach up to several hundred meters. GAMEPLAY: The player assumes the role of a Delta Force operative who takes part in missions across the globe.
The game was re-released in 2009 on Steam. It is the second game in the Delta Force series and was followed by Delta Force: Land Warrior one year later. Delta Force 2 is a tactical first-person shooter video game developed by Nova-logic and released in 1999.
