It seems like every year or two, we have a new “Battlefield-killer” storming the market in the hopes of gaining a following within the large-scale first-person shooter market. Following the absolute disaster of Battlefield 2042, there’s a pretty large hole to fill. But is Delta Force—the free-to-play first-person shooter from developer Team Jade—destined to take the long-running franchise’s place? Probably not. But it’s still a competent, easy-to-dive-into multiplayer shooter with plenty going for it on launch.
That said, the game hasn’t been a hit with everyone. Even a free-to-play title with a distinct lack of pay-to-win mechanics can still draw the ire of players. From irritating bugs, to poor matchmaking, to kernel-level anti-cheat issues, there’s something for everyone to gripe about!
But first, let’s quickly review the many positive reviews users have left on Steam. Perhaps the biggest boon Delta Force offers is allowing those who feel disassociated with the Battlefield franchise a chance at rekindling their love for large-scale first-person shooters. The game offers up a lot of freedom: Want to jump from a helicopter while firing a rocket launcher at ground troops? . Delta Force delivers that. But more importantly, players love the feel, the optimization, and the sheer amount of opportunity in the game’s weapons, maps, and modes.
It’s not all sunshine on the battlefield, though. Many players find they cannot enjoy the experience because it feels like a cheap knockoff of their beloved franchise. Some point toward gun recoil ruining the experience, the presence of too many useless gadgets, and the game’s anti-cheat system, which the developer had to rectify in a post-launch update.
No matter which side of the fence you inevitably fall on, there’s no reason not to try Delta Force. It’s a free-to-play game with no pay-to-win mechanics. Plus, the developer resolved the anti-cheat software woes. Here’s your look at Delta Force, as told by Steam reviews!
