Delta Force: Task Force Dagger

10/10 Classic!

2000s junk. AI is weird, but mostly stupid. Maps are empty, but big. Still, it has its charm, and at least it runs medium well.

[H1]Only the dead have seen the end of war[/H1] It took me almost a month to get through Delta Force bootcamp. It's been ups and downs. But this is where I draw the line. I'm done. Not because in a row, but because it's just unplayable. Somehow this game had all the options to be better, if not equal to Land Warrior, but somehow it isn't. [H2]Pros:[/H2] -More weapon sprites, I guess -Ability to play not as Delta. Instead of characters or faces we have units - CIA, SAS, CSAR, Rangers, Marines, SEAL, something else... In the game called "Delta Force". [H2]Cons:[/H2] -No more briefing whatsoever. No destinations, navigations, nothing on the briefing. Where are we dropping, boys?! -No allies anymore. You're alone. Task Force... right. -No more any sort of plot. It's actually funny how little I need to be satisfied in the way of "why am I doing this?" - tell me the name of the group, what did they do. Here it's nothing - guess we're just fighting Afghanistan. -All the previous cons remain. -Quick missions ARE the campaign missions. -Softlocks if not straight up unplayable. I've ragequitted on the chopper mission because I just randomly fall off of it. In front of having no chopper sou…

“Delta Force – Task Force Dagger” is the 4th instalment of the tactical first-person-shooter series. At the time of its release in 2002, the game design, sounds and graphics were already hopelessly outdated and critics at the time were wondering how the developers could be so audacious to release the game at nearly AAA title pricing. After about 7,2 hours in a completionist approach, here’s my pros/cons list: Pros: + slightly improved graphics compared to “DF – Land Warrior” + improved weapon models Cons: - weapon models cut off (they’re 2D pictures), can be seen during jumps - slow, inaccurate mouse aim - objectives are shown only after you enter a mission, instead of showing them during mission briefing - close quarters combat pretty bad - one shot even with a silenced weapon will many times alert all enemies on the map - enemies can see through walls - static sound direction - enemy footstep sounds missing mostly - terrible climbing ladders - even worse clipping issues - checkpoint update issues - sometimes hard to find objectives like files, missing highlight or marker in HUD or on map - teammates AI is so stupid it’s practically useless - repetitive …

If you are into military fps games of the 90s and early 2000s or the Delta Force series, I recommend this game. It is dated and the graphics have not aged well. And this game was a cash in on America's war in Afghanistan

amazing game classic and amazing throwback
