Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now accepting pre-registrations for iOS and Android devices. This Tencent-developed title, launching late January 2025, marks a significant entry into the modern military shooter market, blending diverse missions and modes with a tactical gameplay focus.
For those unfamiliar, the Delta Force franchise is a cornerstone of FPS gaming, predating even Call of Duty. Inspired by the renowned US military special forces unit, the series has always emphasized realistic weaponry and gadgetry.
Level Infinite's revival impressively delivers. "Warfare" mode offers large-scale combat reminiscent of Battlefield, while "Operations" embraces the extraction shooter genre. A single-player campaign, drawing inspiration from the Battle of Mogadishu and the film "Black Hawk Down," is also planned for 2025.
Combating Cheaters
Despite high anticipation, Delta Force hasn't escaped controversy. Addressing the pervasive issue of cheating, Tencent's approach, while aggressive, has drawn criticism. While their anti-cheat team, G.T.I. Security, claims dedicated efforts, the PC version's stringent hardware and software restrictions have been met with negative feedback.
Although mobile platforms generally present fewer cheating opportunities, the PC controversy might still impact Delta Force's overall reception. However, the mobile version’s potential remains strong.
