This Changed FPS Games for Good | Nostalgia Nerd

[@Fastwinstondoom]

The thing that truly blew my mind with Delta Force 1 way back when I first played it was that there was no "out of bounds" on the map... if you wanted to walk for 20 minutes in order to get to the top of the mountain on the other side of the enemy base for a better sniping position, well, you could!

[@joe--cool]

Haha, we did the same thing. I remember the map itself repeating when we tried it. But the other player was still 20km away. Even if it was the same building the players weren't there. I think you could still hear shots though. I doubt they tested it for bored LAN kids, lol.

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

So damn cool, I remember this =)

[@willnailbomb]

I remember being blown away by the huge open landscapes in Delta Force. Made the maps of all the other FPSs I’d played up to that point seem tiny by comparison!

[@ic3olate]

Was thinking of this for the entire video, glad to see others shared my amazement. I remember wondering why that game alone had that distinctive "fuzzy" look to it when I was a kid. I would go to the repeated terrain sections of the map to explore the area without any threats, but they gave me an eerie ghost-town feeling too.

[@szoszaty]

Playing Delta Force in multiplayer co-op is one of my best gaming memories of the time! Fighing side-by-side with my friend, tactical approaching, etc.

[@ShadeAssault]

I spent wayyyy too many hours in that first mission of Delta Force! Pretty sure if I loaded it up today, I would still know where all the enemies spawned! Thanks for the nostalgia. I played this at my grandpa's house in the middle of the night after they had gone to sleep. He recently passed and this brings back some good memories of him teaching me to play it.

[@microcomputermaster]

The "land warrior" tagline for Delta Force 3 is probably a reference to the US Army's Land Warrior program, which was a late-90s to mid-00s initiative to create a networked fighting force using portable computer systems, augmented reality goggles with built-in HUDs, and other commercially available gadgets and gizmos. It was a bit ahead of its time, but eventually evolved into the kit that US soldiers carry today.

[@CMDRSweeper]

You sir are totally correct! Back then the OICW was all the rage with it's grenade launcher in the media we had as the latest tech. There is a reason Soldier of Fortune 2 wanted to slap it in there in their game as well.

[@Spacemutiny]

Yes!!! I remember this being a thing.

[@FlyboyHelosim]

Indeed it was. The featured OICW gun is a dead giveaway, as that was integral to the Land Warrior project. Some units in the U.S. Army even used that release of the game as a training simulator.

[@Fuuntag]

I’m so surprised there is so little coverage of this Franchise or any of the Novalogic games across KZbin. Very happy to see this.❤ There had better be voxels in the new game! And yes, I’m kidding, it’s a soulless F2P cashgrab with no self-awareness by the looks of it. 😂

[@gareth9213]

Multiplayer wasnt mentioned for delta force. A modem connection and king of the hill made my entire afternoon. One of the first multiplayer games over the internet i ever played.

[@GDI_CrimsoN]

I'd consider Delta Force to be the progenitor of not just milsims, but also large open world FPS games in general. I mean DOOM basically spawned the linear, corridor shooter. But stuff like Far Cry, ARMA, Sniper, Squad, even Battlefield owe their existence to Delta Force.

[@005AGIMA]

Pete, thank you so much for covering this franchise. Not many people mention it and it needs more love. I picked up DeltaForce Land Warrior from a charity shop, CIB looking brand new, for about 50p. No, not last week. This was back when it was brand new. Score! And I loved it and to this day, I can't think of a game on the same scale. Even Battlefield often doesn't feel as vast. I look forward to looking at the new game. Had no idea, and I had been thinking DF needed a remake. Awesome! Great video as always. Great to see you Tubing more often again. :)

[@pshuttle]

Don't forget Joint Operations, which was released late in the day by Novalogic. Epic scale battles and brilliant gameplay!

[@chewu]

People always talk about Battlefield back in the day. But Joint Ops was up there.

[@bojangler9685]

Black hawk down, team sabre, and joint operations. My personal favorite 3. rip novalogic

[@XeloX]

Well that's a nostalgia trip, I remember playing these as a kid and loving them - excited for the new game!

[@QuickQuips]

Yeah. I remember playing this and sniping everywhere.

[@bladesofseven]

I'm very leery about the direction the reboot will take. In some cases it'd be better to let sleeping dogs lie.

[@engineerbot]

@@bladesofsevenespecially if there’s going to be a mobile port. Gives me bad vibes.

[@Balc0ra]

Playing DF on 320x240 with turbo off at a lan party was a must. The second anyone moved it was shown as a massive pixel on the hill and you did see 5 tracers to it, then you followed the other tracers until it died out and then you waited for that next pixel to move... Good times.

[@RoadReality]

Man, I remember spending HOURS playing Delta Force! It always ran smoothly, had some of the best graphics of its day, and was a ton of fun! Hearing the sound effects and seeing the voxels in action in this video really took me back, thanks!

[@KH-ye6qg]

BHD is one of the best games I ever played, loved it!

[@Matt.Willoughby]

The late 90's was such an amazing time to be a gamer. What I wouldn't give to relive that time.

[@another3997]

Yes, there was still a lot of fertile ground to be explored in the gaming world back then. Lots of new genres and varying gameplay mechanics, combined with rapidly advancing technology, brought us some great games. But, the early 2000s brought us some massive advances too. Big, open worlds, with ultra detailed 3D environments and complex, multi faceted gameplay. Far Cry and Stalker were great examples.

[@gozewstuffnthings5837]

I LOVED delta force 1. Firing an m203 into the enemy spawn from yours and through exact doors.. skill in of itself. Loved it.

[@johnard611]

Oh wow, I had forgotten that! I didn't like the puny m203 grenade explosions' in DF1 so I was a SAW monkey. But the beefy m203 in Black Hawk Down was pure heaven and those tricky claymore were an added bonus.

[@georgehelyar]

I was on a DFLW team that competed in some tournaments, great fun :)

[@johnard611]

Awesome! Played and hosted some DF1 and Black Hawk Down tournaments but not enough of the guys I played with were into Landwarrior. Would have loved to do some tournaments there!

[@stylianou]

"Always with the triangles". What a brilliant reference to Red Dwarf. I wonder how many caught it!

[@NewsRedial]

It would have been good if you had mentioned 'Joint-ops'. That game was absolutely insane and the number of people who could play in a server back then with little lag was amazing.

[@chewu]

Joint Ops: Typhoon Rising was the game that made me buy my first GPU. GeForce FX 5200, amazing stuff.

[@MrWherg]

I spent so much time on that as a kid, I can't believe it doesn't get the acknowledgement it deserves, providing fire support from a chinook while dropping off a medical team at the objective was incredible

[@MrRudePolite]

@@chewumine too! And that was one of my reasons too. In fact it came with one of my graphics cards! I don’t remember which one though

[@johnard611]

Unfortunately my computer couldn't handle it, which was the main reason I left behind first person shooters to play World of Warcraft.

[@FlyboyHelosim]

The Delta Force series is a seriously underrated gem in military FPS games. I still play DF: Xtreme and a couple of mods every week. That new Delta Force game looks horrible, like that terrible Comanche reboot that came out a few years ago with no spirit of the original games. One of my most anticipated games by NovaLogic that never released was Delta Force: Angel Falls, which should have come after DFX2.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

I remember playing the first Delta Force as a kid in a local gaming cafe, expecting it to be my usual shooter where I just waltzed in and mowed everything down. I remember long walks in large maps before I got my ass kicked so many times.

[@MajorOutage]

Man, I remember these games. I spent sooo much time in BHD multiplayer. Anyone else here remember GI Jane's Games?

[@johnard611]

Spent alot of nights and early mornings in BHD servers too! As the person who organized matches with other squads, I briefly checked out alot of different servers but I mostly played in our -Ozi- squad server.

[@mercuryvapoury]

the tech support lines for Novalogic were outsourced to the company I worked for, along with other games companies. Basically telling someone torestart their router, install a patch and update their drivers for 12 hours a day

[@Bruno-Guitarist]

The graphics for Delta Force 1 blew me away back then.

[@davidt3563]

This was such a great time to be a gamer.

[@eaglewarrior21]

Delta Force 2 is one of my favorite FPS and I still play it from time to time. Great game.

[@deoxys101993]

Man, my Dad loved these games when I was a kid (he's from the military); it's probably the reason why I have a soft spot particularly for Call of Duty campaign modes-some of my first ever PC game experiences were of ancient FPS games and tank sims!

[@the_dan]

I still remember playing most of the Delta Force games in the 2000's on my Pentium 4 PC. I was totally amazed by the scale and complexity of the series. The underwater rifle blew my mind 🤯

[@GBlastMan]

Ah Delta Force, i remember playing the demo of it from a PC magazine CD that came with tons of demos (Nocturne, Unreal Tournament, Battlezone 2, Rainbow Six Rouge Spear, and many more) I remember that my PC lacked the power to run the game properly, my PC at that time was shy of 16 MB of ram with a mere 8 MB of integrated graphics, but for the few seconds i could play of it (with frames in the single digits like a powerpoint presentation) i was amazed about this odd tech called "Voxels" back then, my young mind couldnt understand about "pixels with volume" and the fact that if i wanted i could literally break a hole into the enemy's base and keep blowing everything in my path and the terrain could deform and destroy with accuracy, it was mindblowing seeing such realistic way of handling damage to the enviroment in a video game.

[@BWSSoldya]

As an OG Delta Force fan (played 1 and LW a metric tonne as a kid), this franchise will always hold a special place in my heart. This is also helped by me going back to them on Steam a couple of years ago and doing some speedrunning. Even managed to get a couple of world records on LW. These are fantastic games and they deserve so much more love and recognition in my biased opinion. I just hope that tencent can manage to not fuck up the new one...though I feel like I'm going to need to stock up on literal mountains of hopium/copium for that one.

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

I've spent so mch time ont he Novalogic games ! F-16, F-22, F/A-18, Armored Fist, Comanche 3, Delta Force... The Voxel Space 3D engine was really amazing for its era 🥰🥰

[@rightwired]

True Story: The IT Head installed it our servers at the fourth largest bank in Chicago, and we all played after work.

[@bergums]

I was obsessed with DF:LW. Had knee surgery in 2001 and had lots of time on my hands, so I got pretty damn good at the online games they hosted.

[@rud3y1]

Great vid 👍 Played Delta Force on a 4 PC link cabinet they had setup in HMV in the west end, it litteraly got me to buy my first PC, pentium 2 350mhz with a nvida riva 128, what a machine 😊

[@elinbenson]

Delta Force 2 was so hilariously buggy. This was before game manufacturers would make regular updates and bug fixes. You just had to work with what you got. I remember one hilarious bug during multiplayer games my name would show up on other people's screens as "NullPtr()". So that ended up being my gaming name from then on.

[@rtmclean484]

Ah NullPtr(), sounds like an error handling piece of code for a program written in C or C++, basically telling the program that the memory address that is being pointed to is empty/has no value stored in it. In C we call a variable holding a memory address a "pointer" thus Null pointer = NullPtr

[@garyingle4689]

To be fair novalogic did regularly update DF2. I played online on two different versions of the game. The updated version was 1.16.something. Brilliant memories and I think there's still a few servers still up with a small community still playing.

[@johnard611]

​@@garyingle4689 Even with the updates many people still experienced alot of lag on DF2 multiplayer maps with tall grass. Which is one reason the crowd I ran with hardly ever played it. Delta Force 1 was still our jam until Task Force Dagger came out and then we shifted over to playing Black Hawk Down multiplayer. I really enjoyed Landwarrior myself but most of my friends where still having too much fun with the original Delta Force game at that point.

[@waldevv]

DF2 was an amazing game, I remember playing it with my friend and they wanted to try it themselves so naturally I copied the .exe onto a floppy and my friend told me it didn't work. I had no idea about how computers worked back then but that's pretty much where it all started for me. I also had next to no understanding of english at the time so playing through the missions was a struggle. I guess it being pretty much the only game you have gives you a lot more motivation to figure it out. I also remember being blown away seeing Delta Force Black Hawk Down a few years later, that felt like a technological marvel at the time I need to give these games another shot on proper hardware, I did try them on a modern machine a while back and they certainly have a few issues

[@teknologyguy5638]

I own the original DF games, great to see someone else out there appreciated them. Back in the day I felt like I was the only one I knew playing them.

[@danyoutube7491]

I didn't really know anyone playing them either. I don't think my brother played it, though the general genre was certainly up his street (I remember watching, impressed, as he played Project IGI, another good shooter with big outdoor environments. Hidden & Dangerous was another favourite for both of us and of course Battlefield 1942, which we only played against bots because we didn't have the internet).

[@MendedPearl]

holy crap i haven't thought of delta force in ages my papa (rest in peace

[@TheBic4]

Black hawk down multiplayer on sniper customer servers was amazing.

[@johnard611]

Didn't have the patience for sniping myself but played with some really good ones :) Capture the Flag was my jam, but played every game mode because most other squads weren't into CTF.

[@karateandy76]

I was in a DF/DF2 clan. There were huge LAN parties for DF2. It was my favorite era of gaming.

[@danyoutube7491]

We didn't get the internet until 2006, so DF2 was gathering dust a bit for me by then (having completed it long since), but I was surprised and pleased to see my brother trying out some online multiplayer. I think he got killed and was in spectator mode, I remember we were panning around the landscape for different angles to view the fierce firefight in which dozens of players were involved. All the fire was focused on a narrow building a few stories high on top of a small hill. Initially he was the only one with internet in the house, so I didn't get around to playing DF2 online. For me DF2 was a very enjoyable singleplayer game.

[@matwyder4187]

We used to play this at school. Most people opted for the nice looks, I cared way more about the frame rate, hence played at the lowest possible resolution, iirc it had some really weird option like 400x300, probably standard 800x600 with doubled pixels? Whatever, it played way smoother, and as a weird side effect, I could spot enemies from a lot further than the developers intended - all of them clearly stood out as discrete black pixels just near the horizon. All you had to do is hit the pixel, it was really, awfully easy to take out anyone. With this rather silly bug / cheat / call it whatever you want, from an average FPS player I suddenly became the grim reaper lurking in the distance. Boy, did they hate me... So it was not fun after a while, I felt it was hardly playable at higher resolutions, I had a clear unfair advantage in my preferred mode, so that was the end of my experience with DF.

[@HondaWagovan]

I really remember this game so well. One of the few games that actually had bullet drop and extreme range sniping for a PC game. I still have my copies.

[@xaulted1]

Came out in THE year... 2000. After 23 years 2k is still THE year.

[@johnard611]

2k was the year that I finally had the proper computer, internet connection, and time to play video games in multiplayer mode. The Delta Force 2 demo was my first exposure to the series. I ended up playing with a couple dozen people as we progressed from Delta Force 1 multiplayer to Task Force Dagger and then Black Hawk Down. Many of them went on to play Joint Operations but sadly my computer couldn't handle it, so I transitioned to World of Warcraft (another ground breaking video game) in the summer of 2005.

[@ando8262]

Looking forward to the new game.

Delta force Land Warrior was named as such due to a trend in gaming around that time where the US military had these flashy weapons programs and these military games would put them front and centre. There was another big one around that time that i'm struggling to remember that had a game named around it too.

[@FlyboyHelosim]

The U.S. Army actually used DF:LW as a training aid.

[@rw9191]

How Delta Force came to be was that someone at Novalogic mod'd one of the flight sims into an FPS. John saw that people were staying after work to play it and decided to make it an actually game.

Having mainly played call of duty to that point, I was blown away by the realistic gameplay and animation, and instantly reminded of the old delta force games. Now I've got over 2k hours in the arma franchise, over a quarter of my entire playtime on steam. Thank you for covering this, the franchise is near and dear to me. New one looks awful, I'll stick to ArmA now lol. Looks like they couldn't help but copy the zeitgeist in making an obnoxious twitch shooter instead of choosing to not abuse the franchise name.

[@u9vata]

Look up Thunder Brigade for a sci/fi themed game with similar engine (completely written in assembly). We here in central europe totally did not have early 3d accelerators because cannot afford them - so with my pentium1 I was so happy that I could play these games like Thunder Brigade (owns still in box) and delta force (altough only had a demo). Also if you look at these - they seriously look more impressive than polygon games of the same time! It is just that 3d accelerators came from an other technical direction so it was very hard to accelerate these with them. Also look up new modern voxel engines with destructible terrain and vehicles and engine demos for that! I am a bit sad they did not make a though move and buy up some of the best of those and make delta force voxelfully great again - but I do understand the risks of course...

[@vriff2688]
