TFD -- just how hard?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.delta-force (More info?)

Have a question for the DF vets here. After starting w/ DF1 months ago and
currently working my way thru TFD, after DF2 and DFLW -- all on a "hard"
setting as a SP, I can't help but feel (after 6 missions) that's something's
missing from TFD -- like a challenge.

The AI figures are basically just standing around, waiting to be be blown away,
and only if I'm real slow in responding might they get a kill. Going thru the
underground tunnels is really like a walk in the park for the most part; an AI
figure will be standing there, not reacting to his buddy being sent to Allah,
and I'm kneeling just a few feet away, etc., etc.

In any event, have others experienced the same? Yes, I know, move to MP online
.... <g> But as far as SP is concerned, anyone else also have a letdown after
getting thru DFLW? Thanks

Yeah, I wasn't very impressed with TFD either. To easy, and it seemed very
rushed to me. The best thing about it was you got to use a fully automatic
rifle with a silencer

Yes indeed, the silencer-equipped major weapons are indeed very useful.

Perhaps' that's my "problem" ... <g> Might try a few missions w/ a standard
"M16" and see how the AI figures react.

Probably not much difference. IMHO, Novalogic's enemy AI is sorely
lacking and Ive played them all from DF1 to Team Sabre. The MOH games
from EA have better AI. Throw a grenade at a German soldier and he will
at least react or run the other way. The only reason I continue to buy
the DF games is the multi-player.
Just some thoughts. I welcome responses.

You're right -- not much different.

Ugh; haven't loaded up BHD or TS yet ...

As does the AI in the RS games by Clancy; yet the AI still manage to act as if
they have a serious hearing problem far too many times.

Get BHD and TS. They are much better than Land Warrior. No need to even
compare them with TFD. Best thing...very, very few cheats in the MP games.
Ive only ran into maybe 2 in BHD online. Went into LW 2 nights ago and was
attacked by a flying auto nader. BHD is well worth it for the online play
alone.
