Delta Force Pre-Orders Live on Android, iOS

Pre-registration for Level Infinite's reimagining of the classic Delta Force franchise, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now live on iOS and Android. This Tencent-backed title, blending diverse missions and tactical gameplay, represents a significant entry into the modern military shooter market, slated for a late January 2025 launch.

While the Delta Force name might not resonate with all gamers, its legacy as a cornerstone of the FPS genre predates even Call of Duty. The series, inspired by the US military's elite Delta Force unit, has always emphasized realistic weaponry and gadgetry within its action-packed scenarios.

Level Infinite's revival skillfully incorporates diverse game modes: a large-scale Warfare mode reminiscent of Battlefield, and an extraction-focused Operations mode. A single-player campaign, drawing inspiration from the Battle of Mogadishu and the film "Black Hawk Down," is also planned for 2025.

Combating Cheaters

Despite high anticipation, Delta Force hasn't escaped controversy. The persistent issue of cheaters in online shooters has been a major concern, and Tencent's aggressive, some might say heavy-handed, anti-cheat measures have drawn criticism. While their dedicated G.T.I. Security team claims tireless efforts, restrictions imposed on certain PC hardware and software have been met with player backlash.

The mobile platform may offer a degree of respite from these cheating concerns, potentially allowing Delta Force to meet expectations despite the PC version's challenges. For those seeking more mobile shooters, a comprehensive list of the top 15 iOS titles is available.
