Reviving a Legendary Franchise with a Fresh Take
The new Delta Force reimagines the iconic 90s tactical shooter franchise for a modern audience. This multiplayer FPS, now available on Steam, pivots from the original’s tactical roots to embrace large-scale combat. Though initially met with skepticism, the game has garnered attention for its chaotic, action-packed gameplay, reminiscent of the golden days of Battlefield 3.
Warfare Mode: Chaos on an Epic Scale
At the core of Delta Force lies its Warfare mode, a 32v32 battle that blends objective-based gameplay with combined arms combat. Players engage in massive skirmishes, pushing towards objectives in modes like King of the Hill and Attack and Defend. The maps are designed to funnel players into high-intensity encounters, creating a frenetic pace that mirrors the best moments of Battlefield. Vehicles, dynamic gadgets, and operator abilities further amplify the sense of scale and unpredictability.
The Operator System: A Hero Shooter Touch
Delta Force introduces a unique operator system, blending tactical roles with hero shooter mechanics. Each operator belongs to one of four classes—Assault, Support, Engineer, or Recon—and features distinct abilities and gadgets. Operators like Stinger, a medic with faster revive speeds and a healing gun, and Hackclaw, a recon specialist with flashbang drones, add variety to the battlefield. These unique traits enhance gameplay in Warfare, providing tactical depth and individuality in a chaotic environment.
Operations Mode: A Divisive Experience
In addition to Warfare, the game offers Operations, an extraction shooter mode where players gather loot and fight to reach extraction points. While the mode simplifies many mechanics compared to genre staples like Escape from Tarkov, it has drawn mixed reactions. For some, the streamlined approach offers accessibility, while others find it lacks the depth and tension typically associated with extraction shooters.

Delta Force Channeling Battlefield’s Spirit
Delta Force stands out by successfully recreating the large-scale chaos that made Battlefield 3 a genre-defining experience. Its sprawling maps, diverse operator abilities, and intense objective-focused gameplay create a thrilling and engaging environment. While its extraction mode may divide opinions, the Warfare mode is a testament to the franchise’s potential as a contender in the modern FPS landscape.
