Delta Force: Hawk Ops Preview - A Satisfying Free-To-Play FPS Cocktail

Toxik focuses more on offensive tactics compared to Stinger . Instead of healing directly with gadgets, she reduces the time it takes for passive health regeneration to start for nearby squadmates. Toxik buffs teammates with her mini-UAVs to boost their weapon handling and reduce the effects of hit flinch while disrupting the enemy's vision, hearing, and maximum hea


Delta Force Cheats Force features a roster of unique operators spread across four different classes, with each class specializing in at least one playstyle. The difference between how each operator feels and plays is staggering, and players will want to figure out which character works best in specific scenarios if they want to get the most mileage out of t

Things went so badly the first time around that for my second attempt, I was advised to head straight for the extraction point, which was a bit of a blow to my FPS ego. This made for a much more peaceful experience, even if I still managed to nearly get my head blown off by an enemy with a grenade launcher. I may not have been great at Hazard Operations, but I can see it being a hit with anyone who wants a slightly different take on Escape from Tarkov.

Right off the bat, the most important thing to note about Hawk Ops is that it nails its gunplay, which feels weighty and satisfying. Considering Team Jade’s past with Call of Duty Mobile, I expected it to be similarly twitchy and fast-paced, but it’s more in line with Battlefield ’s heavier and more realistic feel.


Stinger is a combat medic who can provide a ton of support to his team . Apart from healing, reviving, and resupplying teammates, he often leads the charge by providing smokescreens to cover the team's advance . Stinger doesn't have the offensive capabilities of the Assault characters, but he can be just as deadly with weapons like the CAR-15 or AKS-74 in Delta For


While it can have a pretty unwieldy amount of recoil when firing, the right attachments can make the AKS-74 much more manageable. Putting on the right muzzle, stock, and grip can go a long way to making this assault rifle much more accurate than its base form. All in all, this makes it truly a viable weapon to carry into any battle, though players may want to keep long-distance shots to a mini


While the SG552 and K416 function better when treated like submachine guns, the M4A1 can push itself well into assault rifle range with ease while still being a menace in tighter engagements. While this weapon needs a couple of attachments to get itself on its feet, it is extremely powerful and easy to use within its range, so much so that it's locked to the Assault class as it would probably become the go-to if it was available across all clas

I also spent a good amount of time with Kai, an Assault Operator who can shoot a barrage of grenades, deploy a smoke bomb, and, after enough time, activate an exoskeleton that boosts his movement speed, which makes him a great beginner pick. I was a little sceptical about the Operator system considering how unbalanced the Specialists felt in Battlefield 2042, but it did make playing Hawk Ops feel more tactical, which is one of the series’ main focuses.

The FPS genre might not be my favourite in gaming (it’s platformers, in case you were wondering), but it’s one I still have a lot of love for. From Medal of Honor and Overwatch to Titanfall and Team Fortress 2 , I’ve put a lot of time into shooters over the years, and have given pretty much all of them a good old-fashioned college try.

Delta Force: Hawk Ops might not offer a groundbreaking take on the FPS genre, but the fact that it comes so close to titans like Battlefield and Tarkov while having its own unique flavour isn’t a bad thing. What really makes it stand out, though, is the fact that it’s offering these seemingly massive game modes for free across consoles, mobile, and PC, something that's very tantalising considering how well it does at replicating the formula. My main takeaway from my time with Hawk Ops is that I wish I’d been able to play more of it, which is pretty good going for a long-dormant series making its comeback.
