Delta Force 2 is a first-person shooter game developed by NovaLogic, released in 1999. It was the second game in the Delta Force game series. The game follows an elite special forces unit, Delta Force, and their operations across various locations around the world. The game is widely recognized as a classic in the genre of tactical shooters. The player assumes the role of a Delta Force operative who takes part in missions across the globe. The action takes place in vast outdoor environments and combat distances reach up to several hundred meters. 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. It also added realistic, if a bit dated, bullet trajectory. The game-play is focused on realism and tactical planning, and the objective is to complete various missions across different terrains and weather conditions. Missions consisted of a series of objectives while navigation points indicate what to do, the player is free to approach the targets as he sees fit. Objectives typically involve eliminating all hostile presence in a specific location, rescuing hostages, or destroying enemy vehicles and facilities. The game’s large maps and the option for the player to plan their mission tactics adds to the sense of realism, making players feel like they have control of the mission instead of being forced to follow narrow or rigid mission boundaries. 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. The player can view the positions of nearby enemies and friendly units through the use of a minimap on their HUD

Delta Force 2’s multiplayer component was a significant addition to the game. The game allowed up to 50 players to play together, which was quite impressive for the time. The multiplayer mode offered several game-play modes, including attack and defend, search and destroy, and team flagball.

The game was also praised for its multiplayer component, which was considered one of the best of the shooter genre. Many players still regard the game as a classic in the genre, and it has a dedicated following to this day.
