Delta Force: Land Warrior
NovaLogic announced the development of Delta Force: Land Warrior, the follow-up to its special forces action
games, Delta Force and Delta Force 2. Land Warrior will be a new product from the ground up, starting with an all-new, accelerated graphics
engine. With support for all major 3D accelerators, ranging from 3dfx's Voodoo2 to the newest cards, the new engine gains all the performance
benefits of cutting-edge 3D acceleration while retaining the strengths of the voxel-based engines that powered the previous Delta Force titles.
The long-range outdoor encounters that gave those games their uniqueness will also grace Land Warrior, letting people see and engage enemy
soldiers at distances of 1,000 meters or more.
Land Warrior also incorporates lessons learned from NovaLogic's collaboration with military customers. The company has entered into a
contract to modify Delta Force 2 for use in the U.S. Army's next-generation Land Warrior program, which equips the foot soldier with
technology once reserved for advanced combat vehicles, including integrated video sights, head-mounted displays, laser range-finders and
GPS navigation. A character-driven story will introduce a squad of five veteran Delta Force soldiers. People will step into the boots of each
squad member as the team carries out special operations ranging from hostage rescue to sabotage to direct assaults on terrorist compounds.
The game will also feature new weapons and equipment, plus more of the large-scale online action that made the original titles popular,
complete with speech communication via Voice-Over-Net and free gaming on Novaworld. Delta Force: Land Warrior is scheduled for release in
Quarter 3 2000.
