Delta Force: Task Force Dagger | Operation 1: Lion | Reconnaisance | Kandahar, Afghanistan
1Welcome back to Delta Force: Task Force Dagger, a military simulation, tactical shooter created by Novalogic in 2002. The game was originally meant to serve as a Standalone expansion to its predecessor, Delta Force: Land Warrior. It boasts a wide variety of weaponry and selection of character classes from various specialised military forces from around the world, all with their own unique traits and abilities. The game follows the team in question, a joint task force called Viper 33, that works to disassemble terrorist and extremist militia units across various parts of the world. The game, in contrast to older titles such as the original Delta Force, is more action-oriented and accessible, being made on the same engine as Land Warrior, even though it boasts greater design and rendering technology at the cost of simplified gameplay.
For their very first operation, Viper 33 has been deployed to a potential enemy command and control compound near Kandahar on a reconnaissance mission.
Their objective is simple: disable the communications antenna to prevent the enemy from contacting reinforcements in the event of detection. Then, they are to proceed inside the compound, eliminate resistance as necessary, and obtain intelligence documents providing the necessary evidence for and clues to the actual whereabouts and intentions of the enemy forces.
Viper 33 is to be inserted via parachute and once their mission is done, the Black Widow will be waiting for extraction. During the mission, Viper 33 had to search for a while before finally finding the necessary intelligence documents and consequently had to neutralise a barracks full of enemy soldiers. On the way to extraction, he found resistance from a nearby reserve battalion that had spotted him during his approach. In the end, extraction was successful.
