There's a decent selection of weapons and vehicles, a co-op mode for the multiplayer, and the occasional mission featuring a 'jump from the helicopter' deployment. Weighing it up fairly and without a burning hatred for those who took away our beloved voxels, there are a few pleasing features, of course. Whatever the cause, this void is noticeable and all that remains is a thin, bitter shell of stilted gameplay, poor visuals, simple AI, a single-player mode that now feels rather aimless, and a multiplayer that very few people seem to be bothering with. Perhaps when NovaLogic decided to tear the voxels from the Delta Force franchise, its soul was torn away with them. The lack of voxels is perhaps to blame for this husk of a game. Besides, voxel sounds better than pixel, like it was dreamt up by a SHODAN-esque supercomputer in a lab somewhere. And of course, those cute little volumetric pixels were useful back then for rendering long, dense grass.
It was like walking through a world made of LEGO bricks.
People derided novalogic for their quaint insistence on using voxel-based engines back in the day, but I always thought the end result was rather cosy and cute.
