TiMi Studio's Delta Force is a revival of the classic tactical shooter series that kicked off in 1998 and paved the way for large-scale first-person shooters in the decades to follow. In a substantial shift from its predecessors, it's a free-to-play online shooter with two distinct modes: its classic Warfare mode in which teams of players compete to carry out objectives, and its extraction shooter-like Operations mode. With a dizzying amount of customization and weapon modifications, distinct playable Operator classes, and now a co-op reimagining of the Black Hawk Down campaign , Delta Force has something to offer first-person shooter fans of every procliv

To keep things interesting, the game locks a good chunk of weapons behind specific classes and operators . Still, with 52 guns in total, including secondary weapons, there are only so many you can upgrade and invest in for the long run. Thus, knowing which weapons are truly overpowered can give you a significant edge over other players and make the grind a lot more worthwh

With experience, knowledge will make each match easier to navigate. Players won't have to worry about being taken by surprise by an unknown corner or accidentally wandering into an area with ample line of sight for the enemy. But it takes time and players need to be patient with

Game Rant recently sat down with game design director Ricky Liao to talk all about Delta Force , including its place in the long-running first-person shooter series. Liao weighed in on how Delta Force aims to honor that legacy while bringing its own flare to the mix, along with sharing some plans and goals for the development team. This interview has been edited for brevity and clar

It was refreshing in the modern gaming landscape to demo a title that feels this grounded, isn't trying to punch above its weight, and is simply taking you through a tight, level-based FPS experience filled with challenge and replayabili

This tier highlights the cream of the crop among delta Force dlc Force's weapons catalog . You'll usually find half of the lobby using these guns, and for good reason — their time-to-kill (or TTK) has virtually no competition , and you can even make them "laser-like" with the right loado

**A solo player will have some aid as their max HP and ammo are buffed up a bit ** compared to what you start with in a co-op experience, but even so, the game will be much more manageable with some buddies along for the r

The G17 sacrifices everything a good single-shot pistol has for a slightly better fire rate. It feels like a "last resort" because of the mediocre control and a death sentence if the enemy has a G18 or

The game doesn't reinvent the FPS wheel, but that's entirely okay. What's here seems like a tough, grounded, tactical military shooter that I'm fully expecting to find an audience with those who lean more toward the hardcore side of thi

Combine that with a Volt arrow, and you can force enemies out of a chokepoint. What I love about the Volt arrows is how they can be enabled to rebound off a surface , like Valorant's Sova's arrows. Do some guesswork for the trajectory, and enemies will be mar

...Which you then use to go out again, to get more loot, to buy more gear. You get the idea. It's moderately insane behavior, but what makes it fun is that failing to extract means all that effort goes out of the win

Oh man, it's a love-and-hate relationship with Vyron's ultimate. It's an area-of-effect knockback shell that can hit enemies to throw them off their feet and leave them vulnerable to a push. However, it's a double-edged sw

We spend a lot of time during our playtests debating which part needs adjustment — is it the operator, the vehicle, the level design, or the weapons? It often takes a lot of time to figure out which aspect to tweak in order to make everything come together and really create that "magic." But it’s also incredibly rewarding, and we’re very happy that we managed to ship the game on time while still delivering a great overall experience for play

We’ve also received clear feedback that players love the boss enemies in our game and that they want to engage in these encounters as well. While we’re not guaranteeing anything, this is something we’re currently consider

There are two types of shooter games. The first type is something like Call of Duty — very fluid, competitive, and fast-paced in terms of combat. Then there are games like CS:GO, Valorant, and Rainbow Six Siege, where you really need to rely on strategy and teamwork. Both styles are great and have their own amazing communit

These are the Operators who bring healing or being able to mark enemies. These are easy to use and can provide plenty of help to a person's team, which is the best stepping stone to learning more about the more complicated o

While assault rifles are fit for all of the maps, you won't have a great time sniping in Space City and Brakkesh. Similarly, shotguns and SMGs will be miserable in Layali Grove unless you bunker down in one of the buildi
