<br>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.<br><br>With the series lying dormant for more than a decade, there hasn’t been much for Delta Force fans to get excited lately. That’s all about to change thanks to Hawk Ops, an upcoming free-to-play shooter from Tencent ’s Team Jade, the developers of Call of Duty Mobile , that aims to bring the series back for both long-time fans and a whole new generation of prospective tacticians.<br><br>As a long-time Battlefield fan and as someone who generally prefers it over COD’s hectic twitch chaos, I’m more than happy about where Hawk Ops is taking its notes from, even if it does feel familiar. Outside of its tight gunplay, the main focus of Hawk Ops’ is its Operators, which work similarly to Heroes in games like Overwatch and Valorant. My preview featured four to choose from, but I quickly gravitated towards Luna, a Recon Operator whose cooldown abilities let her fire a shock arrow that dealt electric damage over time and a sonar arrow that revealed enemy positions like Hanzo in Overwatch.<br><br> <br>Shepard is a defensive operator who specializes in locking down areas with sonic devices . His main ability, Sonic Paralysis, suppresses all enemies hit to reduce their fire rate and movement , making him great for attacking or holding points. As an Engineer, Shepard also has access to anti-tank weapons for destroying vehicles and the Active Defense System, which is used to intercept incoming grena<br><br> <br>The QBZ is a monster at mid-range and one of the best Assault Rifles. In terms of fire rate and handling it feels like a middle-ground between the AKS-74 and the CAR-15. It functions well on both sides of the middle-range spectrum, making it perfect for canted sights and variable z<br><br> <br>The M4A1 is similar to both the SG552 and the K416 in the sense that its fire-rate is also above average, though of the three, it fires a little slower in exchange for increased stability. However, this minor change has big implications for the way the weapon operates at range, where it substantially outperforms both the SG552 and K<br> <br>Plus, having friends in the same match can reduce the number of random players who can attack a player in the chat . This can be a big hit to a new player's confidence and enjoyment in the game, so having friends who won't do this is a huge bene<br><br>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.<br><br> <br>When a new multiplayer game like Delta Force DLC Force is released, players must discover the best way to get started. This can require a lot of time to find the right weapon , gear, and team composition to make each match a little easier. It is not an easy task for a new player and getting a better foot forward can be a true bless<br><br>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.<br><br> <br>Delta Force has a good amount of stuff for players to learn when they're first starting out.
