Delta Force: Hawk Ops is an online tactical shooter developed by TiMi Studio Group (a subsidiary of Tencent) and published by Level Infinite. It is a reboot of the classic Delta Force series, which first gained popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This latest version is designed to recreate the thrill of realistic tactical military combat with a modern approach, cross-platform gameplay (mobile, PC, console), and eSports support.
A Brief History of Delta Force
The Delta Force series, originally developed by NovaLogic, is known for its realistic military games featuring large maps, long-range gameplay, and the use of voxel technology for three-dimensional terrain. These games are widely recognized for their tactical approach and realistic military scenario-based missions.
After nearly two decades, TiMi Studio presents Delta Force: Hawk Ops, a new generation of military FPS games, with modern graphics and a competitive system designed for all gamers, including mobile users.
Key Features of Delta Force
There are three modes of Delta Force survival:
a. Hazard Operations (PvPvE Extraction Mode)
Hazard Operations is an extraction mode similar to Escape from Tarkov or Call of Duty: DMZ. Players enter a conflict zone to collect loot (valuable items), completing objectives, fighting AI enemies and other players, and then escaping through an extraction point. High risk, high reward—this mode demands teamwork, tactics, and quick reaction times.
B. Havoc Warfare (32v32 Team Battle)
This mode features massive battles between two teams of up to 32 players each. Players can control a variety of combat vehicles, such as tanks, helicopters, armed buggies, and UAVs. The expansive map supports both ground and air combat, making it similar to Battlefield-style warfare but with a more tactical approach and operator classes
c. Campaign Mode: Black Hawk Down (PvE Co-op)
Delta Force includes a PvE campaign based on the film and real-life events of “Black Hawk Down,” which took place in Mogadishu, Somalia. In this mode, players will complete cinematic story missions with teamwork (up to four players) to rescue hostages, combat local militias, and complete dangerous objectives in an urban environment.

The game is built on the Unreal Engine, delivering high-quality graphics across all platforms. Real-time lighting effects, explosions, reflections, and character animations are meticulously designed.
