<br>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.<br><br> <br>There are a lot of options that players will need to work with, but the ones to really focus on are turning off motion blur, setting the game to Fullscreen, and disabling V-Sync. These will all give an immediate boost to the game's smoothn<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>Uluru is Shepard's offensive counterpart . He specializes in taking out important targets with TV-guided missiles and creating hardpoints with deployable cover . Uluru is also equipped with incendiary grenades that can cut off choke points, and like Shepard, he has access to the powerful SCAR-H assault rifle for engaging enemies from close-medium ran<br><br> <br>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<br><br>I’m not enough of a gun guy to be able to name any firearms more complicated than a Desert Eagle or AK-47, but every weapon that I used felt responsive and had a hefty amount of kick, just like DICE’s staple series. In fact, there’s a lot about Hawk Ops’ Havoc Warfare mode that reminded me of Battlefield, from its use of vehicles (which I wasn’t good enough to unlock) to its bigger and more destructible maps.<br><br> <br>The only thing is that the M249 can be a little hard to control with its recoil while sustaining fire, and it also has a long reload animation. Trying to reload this behemoth at the wrong time can result in an untimely de<br><br>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.<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>There are minor differences between the two: the K416 has better Control potential, but the SG552 has way better reload speed and hip-fire. Either of these though can be used to dominate close range in spite of these differences, and with fire-rate and equitable damage these guns have seriously low TTK that shines at SMG ra<br><br> <br>The UZI has always been a weapon that is about firing off a speedy barrage of bullets at someone when they are at close quarters. It's been that way for several FPS titles and this one is no different.

It needs a few levels and attachments before its recoil becomes manageable, but when it does it’s a simple weapon that is lightweight and effective at both short and mid-ra<br><br>Delta force Patch Notes 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>
