names. You can also toggle this feature in the game by
pressing the F key.

*NOTE: Although listed in the printed manual, Ammo Respawn and
Time Out Box are no longer valid options.

MULTIPLAYER GAMES

What follows is some additional information on multi­player game types. NovaWorld has unique game levels
designed for a higher number of players (Visit the
NovaWorld site for more details).

Cooperative:

In this game, you replay Single Player missions where
your computer-controlled squadmates are replaced with
human players. This gives you the opportunity to
practice real team tactics against familiar situations.
Most Delta Force training at Fort Bragg involves working
with a team to overcome simulated terrorist attacks.
Play the same scenario multiple times to see how
different team strategies work.

Note that you can play any mission as cooperative
regardless of whether you have gotten to it in single
player mode or not. However, in cooperative play the
mission will be harder than the single player version
to compensate for additional human players.
Generally this means an increase in the number of
enemies encountered.

Deathmatch:

CONFIDENTIAL FM 365-7A

Team King of the Hill:

All players are competing against each other to gain the
high score by eliminating the most opponents. The
person with the highest kills isn’t necessarily the best.
Delta Force has little interest in an operative that loses
his own life recklessly. Highest score is determined by:

Kill Friendly -4
Kill yourself -1
Killed by opponent 0
Kill opponent +1
Kill opponent with a head shot +2
Kill opponent using only a knife +3

Team Deathmatch:

Players are put on the Blue team or the Red Team. Get
your squad in line or they may cost your side points. Be
careful not to shoot your own teammates. Scoring is the
same, but only the team total points is displayed.

King of the Hill:

As per King of the Hill,
but your time gets
added to that of your
team. Look for the
Friendly Fire Warning
“X” so that you don’t
kill one of your own
teammates.

Capture the Flag:

Flags are represented by a triangle symbol on the GPS
and Command map. You are part of the red team or the
blue team and your objective is to grab the other team’s
flag by running over it and return it to your team’s Flag
Bay (represented by a colored circle). At the same time,
you need to defend your own flags from your opponents.
Some variations have multiple flags that must be
retrieved. The waypoint indicator will help guide you to
the flags and back to your flag bay.

In this scenario, players win by occupying a certain area
for a specific duration of time (set by the game host).
The hot zone shows up as a red circle on your GPS map.
Although your time in the zone is cumulative, leaving
the hot zone will cause your timer to start to count
backwards. (Note, this rule has changed from the print­ed manual). The size and number of hot zones will vary
depending on which map the host chooses.

HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

OCTOBER 1977

2 DELTA FORCE FIELD MANUAL

FM 365-7 CONFIDENTIAL

In October of 1977, the 1st Special Forces Operational
Detachment-DELTA was secretly formed to deal with the
growing threat of world terrorism. At Fort Bragg, elite Delta
Force operatives, recruited mainly from the 82nd Airborne,
Special Forces Green Berets and U.S. Army Rangers, rigorously
train in hostage rescues, specialized reconnaissance and other
counter terrorism techniques. Highly skilled in CQB (Close
Quarters Battle), armed with the best equipment, and able to
infiltrate as civilians, Delta Force is ready to deal with the most
dangerous world threats.

Due to the extremely sensitive nature of these low-visibility
missions, the U.S. Department of Defense still does not officially
acknowledge the existence of Delta Force.

INSTALLING DELTA FORCE

The AutoRun program will automatically load itself and run each time
you insert the Delta Force CD into your CD-ROM drive. Delta Force
uses an Install Wizard to place the necessary files on your hard drive.
Before you begin installing the game, close all programs that your com­puter may be currently running.

1) Place the game CD into your CD-ROM drive and close the drive
door. The AutoRun program will now take over. If you have turned
off the AutoRun feature or if the AutoRun fails to launch
automatically, double-click on the “My Computer” icon on your
desktop and then double-click on your computer’s CD-ROM drive
letter. This should launch the Delta Force AutoRun.

2) Click the mouse on one of the menu choices, or type the letter
corresponding to the underlined hot key.

3) At the beginning of the installation program you are given the
opportunity to select a destination folder for the game. A default is
typed in the window for you. Press the Enter key to select the
default destination. Otherwise, select your own folder name. If the
folder you specify does not already exist on your hard drive, the
Install program will create it for you. Further installation instructions
will appear on-screen.
