Delta Force Extreme 2

Posted onAuthorTech Review Man

Finally Got Delta Force X2 .  I have always loved playing Delta Force. The best FPS (First Person Shooter) game IMHO.

I have every single DF game That NovaLogic has made. The best part of any and all Delta Force games, is the online play. No game is comparable. You can get any copy made within the past 6 years, and there will be people online paying.  The servers hold huge masses of people. I can not think of any game out there that can claim this.

Boot Screen

Boot Screen Delta Force X2

At first I was not very impressed. . I tried to turn up the graphics. there was no option other than to set to native resolution. No anti-aliasing no definition increase. Nothing!!!.

So I figgured “screw it” and I started playing the game.

Starting Delta Force X2

The AI seemed, Well, Kinda like the very first Delta force. It actually looked about the same in some ways.

Gun List

all the usual guns (it seems) of past Delta Force games. I am a sniper or nade launcher freak. I either camp or run around nading the place. I am in every way, the guy that makes you very mad in FPS games.

Parachuting

Parachuting at the start of Mission

This part upset me. Look how close i am to the enemy base. No one shot at me. I could not use my scope while chuting.

Cool Looking fire

Ok, the fire has great detail.

One Shot

HEADSHOT!

Classic Head Shot, to start out the game. Well I got a couple but I  fumbled the screenshot.

Finished First mission

Finally finished first mission. Had to  destroy communications for enemy and then blow up some trucks. Weird thing is it showed I had 6 satchels but only used two and could not use anymore.

Another bad thing is I could not mount motorcycles or enter vehicles. So if anyone knows any of that. please let me know. It is frustration to walk that far (lol hold the arrow button… dang I’m lazy) when I could be riding a motor bike. There are some buildings in this version of Delta Force Extreme that are right out of the Last DFX. Like buildings and warehouses. Only thing is the images look way better. (not much to compare to other companies though).

I prefer the game to be fun like Delta Force rather than look great and be major lag like some of the newer games.

I have since been playing online. This game a year old still has  endless numbers of matches online. They are all packed and crazy fast paced. Again Novalogic did very well with this one.

It is a must buy if you want to play online in a fast paced massive online first person shooter.

Registry Cleaners and Memory Software

Posted onAuthorTips Of Tech2 Comments

Ok I took a test drive of a few “computer Tweaker ” programs that have been well voted for on Cnet and ZDnet. They all were easy to locate, and I saw that thousands and millions have downloaded these.  I organized first by number of downloads, and by most votes. I then organized by highest vote score. all three times, these three programs came up in the top. So I decided they where the best options of this test.

The machine is Nforce 750A with AMD 5600+ two gigs of  pc 6400

dual 9500 gt 500mb Nvidia cards (sli)

Operating system is Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1

Installations were:
Registry Mechanic 9.00.0114 Of course this is a trial software.

Advanced Registry Optimizer 2010

CCleaner 2.29.1111

I really saw/felt no changes as I played a few games after each install. I am quite disappointed in the Pc gaming community. It seems there is a new wave of newbie techies advising people to use this stuff. Why do we go through this exact same wave every single time a new Operating system is released? It really seems like every time an OS is out, 8 months later there is a batch of people giving advise to use this stuff. Like memory boosters. After another 5 months, you start getting advice to overclock. You see posts like “Over clocking does not harm your computer” and masses of 20+ people backing this theory in threads of forums. Then three months later ” Help my video games have black streaks in them” Well you clearly over heated and fried your card.

End result.. Nothing fantastic. I guess what people see as being a new faster cleaner running machine, is a trick of the eye slight of hand. I swear every time I wash my car, it feels like it runs better.

Please if anyone has a new Registry software they want me to try out. and they are certain it works, Give me a thorough description of the software. Nothing larger than 15MB or I won’t touch it. This post i really wanted to go into detail, I really was ready for it. Right now i am nothing but so upset for installing this stuff I can’t write any detail other than… junk, junk, junk.

Personally I am sick of helping people after they stumble into this useless junk.
Your registry is written to for every program that is installed on your computer. These are lines of commands to tell your computer how to handle these programs. That’s it. Those lines of commands are never used if you do not use programs associated to what is has been written to your registry. Meaning: if you uninstall a program and never use that program again, then nothing on your computer will request that specific line, so that line does not have to be erased. that line will just never be necessary again. It does you no good to remove the registry entries from uninstalled programs. but you could possibly damage your computer by removing the wrong line of code. and no…. not all registry cleaners know every single program in the world and what they each use or write  in your registry.
