Guest The Ghost of Inept Pig Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 "A single-player demo of Delta Force: Black Hawk Down is now available, offering the opportunity to try out this upcoming tactical first-person shooter by NovaLogic. This is not the official demo (originates from a magazine CD) but it features one level set in Mogadishu where two Delta teams go on a mission to free a number of hostages. Novalogic mentioned that an official single- and multi-player demo will be released in a few weeks.

Guest Mundy Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Did enjoy this, lots of bad guys running around with RPG's. You have to take them out quickly before they do you. Quite a quick mission this once you know what your doing. Took me ages, as once I died I kept having to restart from the beginning. :( For some reason when you died it only gave option to end mission or to restart. I know I had saved my game yesterday, so not having a load option was strange. Anyhow, started again and hit the F5 key for quick save but upon dying did not have a load option. According to the readme/manual Esc should bring up the load screen - but it didn't for me? However, I persevered and found that having done more quicksave's the next time I died I was given an option to load the saved game by using the numerical keys... strange? not come across this configuration before. :unsure: Anyone else had problems?Graphically, especially the opening sequence on the helicopter it appears gorgeous, but close up the doors and walls are lacking in detail (1024 x 768 and all graphic options on high) but I presume this will be improved for the full release. :blink: Comments anyone?

Guest ordep Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 I have that prob Mundy, save game that is, glade you figured it out, perhaps i can move on now. :) I've played all the Delta series, and the lacking in detail you mention is the same in all the games, though the graphics in this latest incarnation is probable the best yet.If you enjoy sniping you'll enjoy the Delta force series, cos thats primarily what there all about.I think Task Force Dagger was the last one, you can get all the demos here.http://www.novalogic.com/default.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spook Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 DOH!No wonder it the link from Nvidia didn't work when I tried it. What a dumb ass!!You say Feb 4th, just for the official demo? That's a long time to wait if you're an impatient teenager... or the village idiot, if you're like me.I'll get around to this = I've been drooling over the screenshots for a little while now...

Guest ordep Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Time's up boys, just down loading it know :rolleyes: Here's just a snippet, plenty more to read while your waiting to down load.The failed 1993 U.S. military mission in Mogadishu, Somalia, lasted less than a day, but the conflict cost the lives of 18 U.S. soldiers, injured 84 more and killed hundreds of Somalis (soldiers and civilians). The operation-as part of the larger relief effort to reopen food lines to the region-was intended to capture key Somalian military leaders as prisoners and quickly hustle them out of the city. Within minutes of the mission's start, however, two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down in an ambush, crashing into the streets of Mogadishu. What began as a get-in, get-out surgical strike quickly turned into an every-man-for-himself fight for survival amid flying bullets and rocket-fired grenades, but also to recover the bodies of their fallen comrades. In the years that have since passed, this event has left a lasting mark on history. It's also been recounted extensively in the media, including a Philadelphia Inquirer series (and subsequent book), a CNN news report and, most recently, in a 2002 movie, Black Hawk Down.
