Story Line

Gameplay

As a military shooter, the Delta Force 2 pits the player against enemy military forces consisting primarily of infantry but also including tanks, helicopters, and other military vehicles. The player has access to several real-life weapons and equipment used by the United States military, including the M4 Carbine and M249 SAW, and may choose which equipment to bring along for each mission.

Delta Force 2 offers very limited tactical control - the player may issue basic orders to teammates such as "hold position" and "hold fire". The player may also use the in-game tactical map to review the positions of different mission objects and place custom waypoints.

Missions consist of a series of objectives which must be completed by the player. Objectives may include defeating all enemies in a given location, rescuing hostages, or destroying enemy vehicles and facilities. Many missions feature allied two-man teams which may work separately to help accomplish mission objectives. Mission events are handled through scripted sequences. In video games, a scripted sequence is a predefined sequence of actions that often occurs when the player has triggered it to start in game. ...

Game Engine

A view of the voxel terrain taken while parachuting.

The voxel game engine allows for nearly unlimited draw distance, providing for expansive outdoor environments which vastly exceed the size of levels in many games with polygon-based terrain. Although the base terrain for each level is only a square kilometer, this is tiled in all directions, potentially allowing for literally unlimited travel. Due to the expansive size of the environment, gameplay is focused more on long-range combat, and many gunfights take place at hundreds of metres.

While the landscape itself is voxel, all other in-game objects, including buildings and characters, are rendered with polygons.

Realism

The game features some realism elements uncommon in first-person shooters, including bullet drop and very limited health. However, other elements of the game lack realism. The only weapon with any recoil in the game is the M82A1 .50 calibre, while even the squad automatic weapon lacks recoil, allowing for unrealistically accurate fire. Additionally, enemy AI characters will always die when hit by a single bullet, regardless of range or hit location. Bullet drop for a M4 and M16 rifle Bullet drop is the name given to the tendency of a bullet to drop in flight due to the effect of gravity. ... For the assault rifle, see Valmet M82. ...
