Delta Force returns to the forefront with Hawk Ops. And today we can discover a new gameplay video. A game that strays from its roots?
Level Infinite and TiMi Studio Group have revealed a gameplay trailer for their latest project, Delta Force: Hawk Ops. However, this new game appears to be a significant departure from the roots of the popular Delta Force series. In particular, a good part takes place in the near future and no longer in the 90s. What can we learn from it?
Delta Force reveals gameplay
Planned as a free multiplayer FPS (with a campaign), Delta Force: Hawk Ops aims to modernize the pioneering spirit of the first shooting games while integrating the latest technological advances. However, this first look was met with mixed reactions, particularly among longtime fans of the franchise. Indeed, even if the single player campaign normally focuses on the battle of Mogadishu, which we can see in the film Black Hawk Dawn, the rest takes place in the near future, with the gadgets that this implies, and many find that’s a shame.
However, based on the gameplay shown, Delta Force: Hawk Ops takes a slightly more tactical approach than competing titles like Call of Duty, which could appeal to a new audience. However, many elements, such as jumping or reloading animations, seem very familiar and not very innovative, strongly reminiscent of mechanics already seen in other popular FPS games.
This resemblance to existing games raises questions about the unique identity of Hawk Ops and why it is named Delta Force. Some players might wonder if the name simply aims to capitalize on the reputation of the franchise or if it indicates a real desire to return to basics, despite the changes observed. The game is planned for PS5, Xbox Series and PC (via Steam and EGS).
