Delta Force Hands-On: Sharp Gunplay Shines, But Will Players Stick Around?

Delta Force makes a compelling return to the FPS genre, combining familiar mechanics with sharp gunplay in its latest iteration. The game successfully merges multiple popular FPS elements: Call of Duty-style quick-paced combat, Battlefield's large-scale multiplayer experiences, and a faster version of Escape from Tarkov's extraction mechanics.

The shooting mechanics stand as the game's strongest feature. Weapons feel responsive and impactful, with a fast time-to-kill that rewards tactical positioning and smart cover usage. While the game includes four classes (Assault, Support, Engineer, and Recon) and various abilities, the core gameplay focuses on gunplay excellence.

Key Features:
- Responsive weapon handling
- Fast-paced combat with quick TTK
- Large-scale multiplayer battles
- Extraction-based "Hazard Operations" mode
- Vehicle combat and killstreak rewards
- Four distinct operator classes
The game's accessibility is a double-edged sword. While easy to pick up for FPS veterans, its familiar mechanics raise questions about long-term player retention. Success will largely depend on maintaining an active player base, particularly for its two main modes: Warfare and Hazard Operations.
Delta Force enters open beta on December 5, offering players a chance to experience its blend of familiar mechanics and refined gunplay. While the gameplay foundation is solid, its staying power in a competitive FPS market remains to be tested.
