Det ser ud til at EA og Novologic kan ser frem til nogle gyldne måneder. Deres seneste udgivelse i Delta Force serien ser ud til at være en vaskeægte succes. Spilfreaks strømmer hjem med spillet under armen.
Hos den danske afdeling af EA havde Morten Nielsen følgende kommentar til det flotte salg:
"Electronic Arts Danmark er stolte af samarbejdet med Novalogic omkring Deres seneste titel Delta Force Black Hawk Down, og titlens potentiale har også vist sit tydelige præg på Manuals topliste. Delta Force BHD gik direkte ind som nr. 2 på PC listen samt ikke mindre interessant som nr. 2 på Multiformatlisten og har fastholdt positionen. Dette viser at danskerne har en stor forkærlighed for serien og Novalogic har formået at levere produktet. Electronic Arts forventer at BHD fastholder positionen på Manuals hitliste igennem de kommende par måneder."
