Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now accepting pre-registrations for iOS and Android devices. This revival of the classic franchise, a significant move by Tencent into the modern military shooter market, blends diverse missions and modes with a tactical gameplay approach. The game is slated for a late January 2025 launch.
While the Delta Force name might not ring a bell for everyone, this series has been a cornerstone of FPS gaming since before Call of Duty. Inspired by the renowned US military special forces unit, the original games emphasized realistic shooter mechanics, advanced gadgets, and authentic weaponry.
Tencent's Level Infinite has masterfully reimagined Delta Force. The game features a Warfare mode offering large-scale combat akin to Battlefield, and an Operations mode focused on extraction-style gameplay. A single-player campaign, drawing inspiration from the Battle of Mogadishu and the film Black Hawk Down, is also planned for 2025.
Addressing Cheating Concerns
Despite high anticipation, Delta Force has faced controversy, primarily regarding cheating. Tencent's aggressive anti-cheat measures, while intending to combat the issue, have drawn criticism for their intensity. While the impact on the mobile version might be less significant than on PC, the controversy could still affect player interest.
However, the reduced likelihood of cheating on mobile platforms offers hope that Delta Force can still meet player expectations. For those seeking other top mobile shooters, our list of the 15 best iOS shooters is a great resource.
