/Game Types/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
There are actually several different varieties of games that can be played online. Not only do you have your simple deathmatch free-for-all battles, but there are also team matchups, structure-based maps, and even a few "soccer-like" modes.

>< ATTACK DEFEND ><
\--> Two teams must face off. One attacks structures on a map, while the other defends them. The map ends when the time limit runs out (defenders victory), or all structures are destroyed.
Strategy:

- Use satchel charges as one can easily take down a structure.
- Destroy the armory first. It's the only way a player may change his or hers current weapons during a game.
- If you're going to snipe, utilize your own structures to your advantage. Snipe inside a bunker so you can take down opposing players, while being a prickly thorn to your enemy.


>< CAPTURE THE FLAG ><
\--> A team's flag is located on both sides of the map. First team to steal and capture their opponent's wins.
Strategy:

- Use silenced weapons, or non-tracer guns if you want to make a very stealthy impact.
- Once you have the flag, switch to your knife to give you the most sprinting speed possible.


>< DEATHMATCH ><
\--> Players randomly spawn on the map. It's a free-for-all. Shoot anything that moves.
Strategy:

- Try to stay in a spot where you're concealed, yet are out of the spawning range.
- Use the M249 as much as possible. Deathmatch is very fast, kill-based, and you'll often run into mobile targets.


>< FLAGBALL ><
\--> Similar to soccer. Each team must grab a neutral colored ball in the middle, and then score a goal with it.
Strategy:

- Work as a team. It's your only success to passing and successfully scoring the winning shot.
- Gun down the opposition to clear a path to the goal.


>< KING OF THE HILL ><
\--> Free-for-all deathmatch where points are rewarded to players who stay in a special centered zone on the map for a specific time limit.
Strategy:

- Prone inside a building, preferably in the King of the Hill zone. In most cases, you won't be exposed to enemy explosions, and you can nail anyone who tries to enter your zone.


>< SEARCH DESTROY ><
\--> My personal favorite. Two teams face off and must destroy each other's structures. First team to successfully destroy all opposing structures wins.
Strategy:

- Use satchel charges for the most effectiveness. Taking down the opposing armory cripples their overall ability to adapt to the situation.
- Go on the left or right flanks along the hill sides as a sniper. Very effective for laying down an Iron Curtain defense.


>< TEAM DEATHMATCH ><
\--> Players are assorted into teams and must kill each other for the true victory.
Strategy:

- If possible, pair up with another sniper or assaulter. That way, you can cover each other's back in case of dire need, or an unknown target.
- Trip mines can be fairly useful for covering your back side when you enter a single doorway building.


>< TEAM KING OF THE HILL ><
\--> Same as the original king of the hill, except you're split into teams that must hold a centered zone for a specific time limit.
Strategy:

- Get two people in the same area to cover each other's back. You'd practically be immortal as there is no way possible for the zone to be infiltrated.

/Patches & Troubleshooting/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
There are numerous problems with DF2. As stated before, people can cheat all they want without any form of punishment. Novalogic has also ceased to monitor the game's progress anymore since they have bigger and better games to watch over (Black Hawk Down, DF3). Here's just a few known problems:


     _________________________________________________________________________
/Cheaters /|---- People who constantly appear and disappear               |
\________/|----- Grenade Launcher shots mystically appear out of thin air |
/|------ Players plop down and instantly knife others             |
/|------- Speed bursts, or moves extremely fast                    |

######## Player SYSDUMP.TXT Glitch #######

This is a small glitch that is IMPOSSIBLE to avoid. There's a special hacking utility out there that causes for your game to crash instantly because of this glitch. It can also occur during single player games. Basically, the person sends a command to the NovaLogic server (console command) which forces the game to update a file in the Delta Force 2 directory called sysdump.txt. Apparently it holds some important data or something. Anyway, the game window minimizes and closes itself, but the file is "saved". This error occurs quite constantly in games, and can be caused by cheaters overloading the server, or the actual game sending a command to save that file. There's nothing you can do about it.
I've tried deleting the file, hiding it, pretty much everything.

- 7) Codes                 -
============================
Thankfully, Novalogic wasn't very tight when it comes to expanding the in-game fun. Not everything is realistic in Delta Force 2. As a matter of fact, they included special cheat codes that help prolong the gaming experience. While there aren't any secret levels, or special campaigns, you can certainly have fun acting like God.

- Giving full credit to http://www.gamewinners.com/ for these codes.


./^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^/ To enable the following cheat codes, press the `
./ CHEAT CODES         / key on your keyboard during a mission. It's similar
./                     / to the ~ key, and is located in the upper left hand
./...................../   corner.
==============================================================================
|  thetrooper         --> God Mode
|  sunandsteel        --> Reload Ammunition
|  diewithyourbootson --> Unlimited Ammo
|  gimme              --> gives you full ammo (must be inside an armory)
|  stilllife          --> Invisibility
|  superjump          --> Jump very high
|  dieall             --> kills all enemies on Jail Break mission
|  revelation         --> gives 8 airstrike/laser rounds
|  gamma 123456789    --> different grenade smoke colors
|  resetgames         --> resets current game

^^ After you press the command console key, type the code above, then press
ENTER. It should take effect immediately.

- Yes, as a matter of fact, there are several. Quite often, you're able to walk through walls on certain maps. In many instances, you can see through buildings from a certain length, and with specific weapons. Enemies can be shot through hills (along with yourself). The enemy/ally AI is stupid sometimes. Hostiles will run right past your fellow bots, and due to the close proximity, they will not return fire. There are way too many to count. Most of the problems are due to the graphics engine involved, but also have a share with poor programming methods.



- Probably never. Think about it. Would you spend thousands of dollars a year to hire programmers just to maintain and appease the general public out there playing an outdated game from 1999? If I was a manager, I probably wouldn't.
Novalogic doesn't give a chalupa about anyone who plays Delta Force 2. Their primary concerns involves newer products which have higher demand priorities.



- I read up on something about the graphics technology that the Delta Force series utilized, but I don't quite remember the name. Anyhow, Novalogic made
Delta Force using a special graphics engine called SURREAL (something like that). Rather than using polygons, the game used special coasting technology to generate smooth terrain and non-jagged surfaces. It's almost like taking a polygon, and tossing it into a rock polisher. The only problem with SURREAL graphics is that you often have meshing objects. Players can stick through buildings. Textures often glitch back and forth for timed intervals. Plus, it tends to lag computers more than say a few thousand polygons. Not to mention that due to the lack of clarity, players can look like trees, and bushes can look like proned snipers from far away distances.

- Yes, as far as I'm aware, there are four primary games (plus the plethora of expansion packs). The original was Delta Force -> Delta Force 2 -> Delta Force
Land Warrior (3) -> Delta Force: Black Hawk Down. There are future plans for more Delta Force games, although a lack of marketing schemes has really brought down the popularity of the series. There's also a few ports for the Playstation video game system, but they weren't really "official" games.
