Technical Features
Delta Force uses a voxel based rendering system unlike most other games at the time.
The game features a large set of missions, most of which are set in countryside. The players' objectives differ with each mission. Eliminating all hostile forces is sometimes not the objective, and should the player choose to use up a great deal of his time combating the enemy, he would probably miss his main objective, such as ambushing a convoy. Some objectives which frequently appear are: eliminate all hostile forces, rescue the hostages, intercept an enemy convoy, capture (or kill) an enemy leader, destroy (or recover) certain objects, and ensure the safety of a friendly leader. The player can choose from a variety of weapons. The player's standard loadout is: knife, pistol, main assault weapon, grenades, explosives, detonator and a laser designator to call in airstrikes.
Delta Force was praised for emphasizing "gameplay over graphics" in its time.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or features:
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
