Re: New shooter…it makes you think

Are we talking about Delta Force : Hawk Ops ??

"...Delta Force is back, have you heard? No, it’s not a revival of the classic Novalogic tactical shooter, but it’s something that may actually prove to be no less interesting. In a word, the new game, titled Delta Force: Hawk Ops, has more of Battlefield in it than Delta Force...."

@b0gart-555 I'd hope not because I don't see that game in as much of a negative light, at least not now. I wish Battlefield had more competition. World War 3 flopped, IMO Battlebit isn't that great. I hope Delta Force puts some pressure on EA to make a better game.

@Lady_OneI personally mostly play Battlebit, it is not BF and is far from perfect, but it is way more fun than 2042. Battlebit also has a lot of fundamental mechanics working better than BF (mouse-response, gunplay, sound etc).

Delta Force is F2P and I doubt that it will differ from most other F2P-games (monetization/skins more than "real" content). The game is operator-based and the specialists were one to 2042s biggest issues, I'm not sure it will be a real competitor to BF. But time will tell...

@cso7777 I've played Battlebit, it does some things right that DICE should take clues from (like the inability to shoot or be damaged while in spawn), and it does a lot of things wrong which turn me off, like how spawn beacons work, leaning spam, supports getting 4 frag grenades that can 1shot you, have no indicators and leave no soot/scorch marks, can be resupplied nearly instantly and there is no APS, vehicles being weak, annoying to drive and seemingly nowhere to be found, secondaries being near useless...
I dunno why you think sound is good, Battlebit does not at all compete with 2042's directional footstep audio. Maybe they've improved it, but I doubt it.

@cso7777 I iniatially had hopes for Delta Force until I saw the operators and some of their gadgets that reminded me of a certain other game.🤔
As it will be free to play, I will give it a try but I remain sceptic
