It's been long since our last update. So there's quite a few things to mention. But let's start with the fresh news:
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. – June 30, 2009 – Calling all squads!!! Novalogic® is pleased to partner with Orb Security in announcing the 1st Annual Novalogic Squad Challenge featuring Delta Force®: Xtreme™ 2 (DFX2). This squad-based tournament will test their teamwork, strategy, and reflexes as they battle for superiority in DFX2.
This of course is outstanding news for the Delta Force community. This is exactly what we at *DEA have been waiting for. A tournament organised by Novalogic and an affiliate of theirs. The tournament will be a knockout with several teams involving. It's said to include 'classic Delta Force maps' and some new fresh 'unreleased' DFX2 maps. The classic maps will most likely be the 5 Joint Operation maps and 5 DF Black Hawk Down maps which we were able to vote on on NovaWorld.com. This of course means we might see our so beloved map Desert Fox.
Prices for the tournament will be as followed:
$400 USD cash award to the First Place team.
$200 USD cash award to the Second Place team.
One (1) MVP Award - a new GTX 285 EVGA Video Card ( Value $400 ) and “Retro” Novalogic T-Shirts.
The tournament is supposed to start on the 22nd of July 2009. Of course *DEA will participate and we'll try and show our best! More information about this tournament is about to follow soon.
Other news!
Since our last news message has been some time ago we've also other news. We have recruited 3 new DFX2 members, these are Scrapper, Junkie and Diamond. Both will try to show us they are *DEA worthy and if they are (which we expect them to be) we hope they will be a valuable asset to our team for a long time to come.
We will also be practicing and playing our first matches in the coming weeks, for example versus the nice lads over at .snb. or versus EuroWarriors. We're sure it will be a great experience for both. *DEA respects it's opponents and not just do we want to perform greatly, we also want to be respectfull and have good connections with all of our opponents!
Delta Force Xtreme 2 is developing slowly but it seems to get there more and more, Novalogic seems to listen to the community and is trying to make the game worthwhile. So far we enjoy it, especially with the promise of getting new maps and classic maps from Joint Operations and Delta Force Black Hawk Down but also for other coming updates such as more developed stats!
Keep an eye on the *DEA page, because more news will be rolling in soon and not just from the DFX2 division, both COD4 and WOW in *DEA are doing more then just fine and they'll keep you updated as well, stay in touch!
Harrharr people! I am back with more news from our World of Warcraft division!
We have remained silent for a while, this being due to the summertime and holidays, activity in gaming tends to drop overall. However! Tonight we ventured deeply into the mysterious halls of Ulduar.
Past the Iron Council, over the Shattered Walkway of Kologarn, past Auraiya the crazy Cat lady and clashed against Hodir.
Known for his fearful mastery of the frozen arts, he's proved to be a remarkable opponent. This first encounter required us to break the ice... litteraly. Long, we have been battling the giant's crazed fury but eventually, we have defeated him and melted his frozen heart.
This progress has brought a lot of spirit back into our division as we have been cycling in the same rotation for a while.
New challenges finally await us deeper in these halls with more rewards and more fascinating tales for me to bring you!
Since *DEA is evolving we have to try and get along with the mainstream. Therefor we try to motivate it's members in using IRC and joining the *DEA channel on the QuakeNet server.
The IRC details are: - channel: #dea-hq
- server: quakenet.org
You can join our channel through the website here on the left- and rightside.
However best way would be to download the latest mIRC client and join through there. You can download the client here. More information about usage of mIRC on the QuakeNet server can be found on the QuakeNet website.
We would appreciate it if as many members as possible join *DEA's IRC channel and 'idle' there. Not just would this keep us involved and connecting with a lot of things in different scenes but also will this improve the interaction between the different *DEA divisions.
Any questions about how to use IRC (when you're unknown to IRC) feel free to ask on the forums.
Hello good folks!
No we are not gone, no we did not lose our nerve as we are still around battling new challenges in Azeroth.
We have been going on an adventure in the past few weeks and it came to my attention that I did not keep you readers updated, for that, I appologize.
On the brighter part is that the gates of Ulduar (a new instance) opened a couple of weeks ago, into which we ventured headstrong into newfound dangers.
We were quite successful may I say as we have overthrown several foes in a very short time.
For our Normal raid, we have killed the following bosses:
- Flame Leviathan
- Razorscale
- Ignis the Furnace Master
- Xt-200 Deconstructor
- Kologarn
- The Iron Council
- Auraiya
- Hodir
- Freya
- Thorim
- Mimiron
- General Vezax
Yep, you guessed it, we are on the final boss of this place called Yogg-Saron. However, in these instances we can do bosses on "Hard mode".
This implies a certain action we need to do to engage the boss into a whole new level do difficulty for way for better rewards. Not only that but Flame Leviathan has been killed on Semi-Hard mode.
Ofcourse we didn't only progress in 10-man, our Heroic Raid has cleared the following bosses:
- Flame Leviathan
- Razorscale
- Ignis the Furnace Master
- Xt-200 Deconstructor
- Kologarn
- The Iron Council
- Auraiya
Not only did we advance, we took pride in it as we are currently amongst the best progressing guilds on our realm.
Aside from our progress, we are still looking for skilled & motivated people to join our ranks.
The following classes are in demand: - Rogues
- Priests
Other classes might be interested, just contact one of us in-game and we will direct you to the person in charge of your class.
Thank you for reading!
After years of silence, Novalogic is preparing a release of their latest game in the Delta Force series called Delta Force: Xtreme 2. A sequal to a more disappointing Delta Force: Xtreme. However this new game is seen as different in *DEA's opinion, after weeks of testing the BETA *DEA will start a division in Delta Force: Xtreme 2.
Between the 23th of May and 2nd of June 2009Novalogic is supposed to release Delta Force: Xtreme 2, if this will really happen remains to be seen. But on that day the division should go really live. *DEA DFX2 is lead by Deus. *DEA will continue what it has done in all past Delta Force games, going for the top, being respected & active and bringing home the shiny trophies!
As anyone can see the division includes many active *DEA DFBHD members, so experience will be at hand. Not to mention the return of old members Delcim and Tex. We're confident that both are 100% ready to perform greatly in DFX2. The difference with this new game again however is that *DEA nowadays is known throughout the Delta Force series, so *DEA does not join this game as the unknown team. A positive thing that is, but it also brings the well known expectations.
We've been playing the BETA for the past few weeks as stated above. We're happy to see that there's several other older known faces out there which we will enjoy facing in Delta Force: Xtreme 2. Competition we'll get for sure, but we're confident and motivated to do very well and show the best we have.
Also *DEA has to thank itself for being able to set up a division before even having the full version of the game. *DEA has a decent community on it's own and this just shows that. Delta Force lives within *DEA and always will. Therefor *DEA is happy to open a new chapter in Delta Force. With Delta Force Angel Falls coming up in the future we do know that this will not be the last chapter for *DEA Delta Force....
