New Dawn launches several attacks on the West, from taking hostages in Mayan ruins to hiding weapons and drugs in Lebanon and Indonesia. A Spetsnaz officer taken hostage in Lebanon is rescued in a heavily defended compound by the Delta Team. The squad then destroys drug shipments in Indonesia. A New Dawn training facility is neutralized during an ambush in the Banda Sea. Later, the head of the World Bank is rescued in a Japanese saiguden. Finally, the team comes together to rescue the American ambassador to Mexico in the Palenque Ruins and stops the delivery of a radiological bomb from the Yucatan to Los Angeles. However, another radiological bomb escaped to an abandoned detention center near Ciudad Juarez but was seized in time by Delta Force members Snakebite and Pitbull. Kreider is finally released by NATO forces in a ploy to corner Fazekas. Kreider is recaptured on his way to Colombia and Fazekas is tracked to Easter Island, where he is killed in an underground labyrinth of tunnels. The APF and New Dawn are broken up after Fazekas' death and Kreider's recapture. Engine Delta Force: Land Warrior uses a new hybrid engine that uses hardware acceleration for polygonal buildings and other structures but retains the voxel-based terrain of its predecessors, with improved resolution however. Draw distances remain on the same level as in the earlier engines and maps are looped in all directions so there are no visible map borders. The new engine also allows for tunnel complexes, featured prominently in the campaign and showcased in the first mission which mostly takes place in Egyptian ruins. Development The game was announced at E3 2000 and was originally scheduled to release in Fall 2000. Reception In the United States, Land Warrior sold 280,000 copies and earned $7.6 million by August 2006, after its release in November 2000.

Combined sales of all Delta Force computer games released between January 2000 and August 2006 had reached 1.7 million units in the United States by the latter date.
