``Delta Force 2'' Begins Tour of Duty; Highly Anticipated Special Forces Game Arrives in Stores.

CALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 1999--

NovaLogic announced today that "Delta Force(TM) 2" is now available in retail stores throughout North America.

Fans of the original "Delta Force" will return to active duty in more than 45 new missions based on the U.S. Army's elite and secretive counter-terrorist and hostage-rescue unit, Delta Force -- and new recruits will be drawn in by the game's unique depiction of squad-based, special forces action.

"Delta Force 2" puts the player in the boots of a Delta Force soldier, one of a handful of highly trained operatives who specialize in the jobs no one else can handle. When the world is faced with the threat of nuclear and biological terror, the player deploys to hotspots across the globe to battle the terrorists on their own ground.

"Delta Force 2's" Voxel Space(R) 32 graphics engine allows for the most complete and convincing depiction of squad-based combat ever. Huge outdoor environments and unmatched engagement ranges lend an epic scale to the game, challenging players to parachute into hostile territory, battle enemy troops hundreds of meters away, and ultimately infiltrate terrorist-held buildings to rescue hostages, capture vital information, or do a little old-fashioned demolition -- all in a single mission.

Desert, jungle and Antarctic terrain is depicted in tremendous detail, from smoothly rolling hills to individual blades of tall grass (perfect hiding places for snipers). Rivers and lakes become settings for underwater infiltration, complete with SCUBA gear, LAR-V rebreather, and high-tech weapons designed for submerged use. In multi-player, fixed emplacements with heavy machine guns or grenade launchers yield devastating firepower to players gutsy enough to capture them. Indoor environments, from research facilities to warehouses, are seamlessly integrated with the terrain and benefit from Direct3D acceleration with 3D cards that support 32-bit color.

Weather effects include rain, snow and fog. Detailed weapon physics mean that wind can also be a factor in combat, affecting the trajectory of long-range sniper shots. Bullets can even penetrate some structures in the game; if a player can hit the broad side of a barn, the terrorist hiding behind it isn't as safe as he thinks he is.

A new Commander's Screen gives players more control over the single-player action in "Delta Force 2," letting them issue orders to their computer-controlled squad-mates. In multi-player, the Commander's Screen becomes a valuable communications tool, helping teammates keep track of each other and execute coordinated attacks.

Multi-player options abound on NovaWorld, NovaLogic's free Internet gaming service. As many as 50 players per arena can go head-to-head or team up in squads to face the fresh challenges of "Delta Force 2's" three new games types -- Search and Destroy, Attack and Defend and Flagball -- or to play old favorites like Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Team King of the Hill, Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. Players can also join forces to take on any of the game's single-player missions in cooperative mode. Gamers can join ongoing NovaWorld games, host their own public or private games via NovaWorld, or play over a Local Area Network (LAN).

But bringing players together via NovaWorld for some of the fastest, smoothest gameplay on the Internet isn't enough for "Delta Force 2." The game also lets players speak directly to each other using its push-to-talk Voice-Over-Net(TM) technology. The system is built into the game, so there are no complicated configuration hassles -- and, for a limited time, "Delta Force 2" boxes will even include a free, high-quality Labtec LVA-7330 headset microphone, ideal for use with Voice-Over-Net.

The game requires Windows 95/98/NT; Pentium II or Celeron processor; 64MB RAM; a Quad-Speed CD-ROM drive; an SVGA graphics card capable of 32-bit color (PCI or AGP bus recommended); and a LAN or Internet service provider for multi-player. It supports Windows 95/98-compatible sound cards and Direct3D-compatible 3D accelerators with 32-bit color support. It has an average shelf price of $39.95.
