Tidligere denne måneden annonserte Novalogic Delta Force: Task Force Dagger, nå har vi mer info og bilder.
Vel, vi må innrømme at dette er en smule forvirrende. Den første pressemeldingen som dukket opp 11. mars, sa nemlig at Task Force Dagger var det neste kapittelet i Delta Force serien (altså DF 4), nå derimot presenteres spillet som en ny stand-alone mission pack (en utvidelse som ikke krever det originale spillet). Kort sagt kan dette bare bety at Novalogic har insett at den aldrende DF grafikkmotoren ikke lenger holder mål i konkurransen mot de nye og feteste spillene i FPS genren. Dermed er det blitt degradert, mens Novalogic sikkert har planer om en helt ny Delta Force 4.
Delta Force: Task Force Dagger skal være tilgjengelig i butikkene i løpet av juni 2002. Her følger seks ferske screenshots og et utdrag fra pressemeldingen:
The game fiction is based on missions from Operation Enduring Freedom. Take control as 1 of 10 different Special Forces soldiers over 25 intense and varied missions set in Afghanistan. Only the best of the best are selected to become members of the 2/75th RANGER, SEAL Team 6, CIA Spec Ops, the UK SAS 22 Regiment, SFOD-SF Viper Team (Green Berets), Australian SASR, Canadian JTF-2, Marine Force Recon, USAF CSAR (Air Force Pararescue) and of course SFOD-DELTA!
Missions take place deep in enemy territory, from Kandahar to Mazar-i-Sharif to Tora Bora. Delta Force Operatives raid rebel headquarters, take control of a local airport, ambush enemy convoys and destroy key SAM and SCUD missile sites.
Utilizing NovaLogic's updated Land Warrior engine, Task Force Dagger has been designed by Zombie Studios as a stand-alone mission pack with new characters, weapons and single and multiplayer levels.
