The graphics of the game are generally considered dated, reflecting its origins from the mid-2000s, yet many players find them surprisingly respectable for an older title, especially after minor modifications. While some users note issues like graphical glitches and poor menu design, the in-game visuals still manage to create an immersive experience, particularly during multiplayer battles. Overall, despite the outdated graphics, the gameplay is praised for its depth and enjoyment, often overshadowing the visual shortcomings.
- “Great game, all these years later, and the graphics that looked great in 2005 still hold up pretty good.”
- “The graphics really come to life when everybody is fighting, and they are really good for this type of game!”
- “Graphics are fantastic for this type of simulation game; action is great.”
- “The graphics are bad and the movement sucks, but what can you expect from an old game!”
- “Late 2000's graphics.”
- “Some still play the game and you are likely to find a game any time you log in; however, at most there will be 18 people scattered around the servers. You will never find a full server unless you get your entire clan or battlefield platoon to get the game. The graphics, as you would expect, look like a 12-year-old with a 3D game maker made this the day right before his project was due.”

The game's story aspect is minimal, primarily focusing on training missions rather than a cohesive narrative or campaign. Players enjoy nostalgic single-player missions, but the lack of AI teammates and a structured storyline detracts from the experience, making it clear that the game is designed for multiplayer engagement. Overall, while the single-player mode offers some challenge and nostalgia, it lacks depth in storytelling.
- “I would spend all day on the single-player missions too (especially the assault the island training mission) when I was younger, so playing them all again and reminiscing was awesome.”
- “Single-player missions still prove a challenge, especially if you're playing solo, so if you're not into online play, you can still get some mileage out of the single-player mode.”
- “I was surprised to get a sudden nostalgia shot when I recognized the beach grenade training mission.”
- “All existence of this game is about training missions, but unfortunately nothing else, especially showing co-op missions under singleplayer is kind of sketchy action instead of making an actual campaign.”
- “This game is definitely made for multiplayer, so no one cares about the storyline for sure. There are a lot of troops to choose from, but not a single campaign, too sad.”
- “But it is no single player storytelling game; it is a real tactical simulation.”

- “This game may not be the most beautiful compared to most games today, but its gameplay never gets old. Even though the player base is almost dead, it's still fun to play with those who are still in multiplayer. Definitely try this game; it's a classic that goes unheard of and needs to be known!”
- “Also, the mechanics haven't dated so well.”
- “Although graphically slightly dated, the gameplay is better than any other shooter I've played.”

This has led to dissatisfaction among players who feel the games lack innovation and value.
- “Delta Force Xtreme games used the same engine and the same vehicles, so you can see that Xtreme Delta Force were pretty much cash grabs based on this.”
