Summary
- Delta Force Black Hawk Down offers a different experience from popular shooters like Call of Duty and Fortnite.
- The Black Hawk Down campaign provides an intense cooperative shooting experience in Mogadishu.
- Solo challenge in Delta Force Black Hawk Down is considered "extremely difficult" due to mission design and enemy settings.
Team Jade, developer of the hit free-to-play multiplayer tactical shooter Delta Force, has finally released the full version of the game's Black Hawk Down campaign mode. Inspired by the hit Hollywood film, the Delta Force Black Hawk Down campaign promises an intense cooperative shooting experience based in the Somali city of Mogadishu.
Delta Force is proving to be a surprise hit among shooter fans looking for a different experience. In a field of multiplayer shooters dominated by speedy movement and over-the-top abilities like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Apex Legends, Delta Force offers a more deliberate experience that prizes coordinated team tactics while still appreciating the uniqueness of its various operator characters.
Delta Force: Ranked Mode, Explained
Playing Ranked mode is a great way to push your limits in Delta Force, but it might not work the way you think it does.
Now, the biggest Delta Force update yet is playable, after a delay that saw developer Team Jade make the Delta Force Black Hawk Down DLC free for everyone to play. Delta Force Black Hawk Down is inspired by the 2001 film of the same name directed by Ridley Scott. The film itself is adapted from the story of the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia, when United States Army Rangers and Delta Force operators engaged a massive force of Somali insurgents in the city.
Delta Force Black Hawk Down Campaign Is 'Extremely Difficult' to Challenge Solo
Delta Force Black Hawk Down exists alongside the other Delta Force game modes, and consists of a series of seven distinct campaign stages. The campaign itself is designed for cooperative play in a squad of up to four, but can be challenged solo. That said, Black Hawk Down is considered to be "extremely difficult" for those who insist on a solo experience, as mission objectives and enemy settings won't scale to the player count. In a game that already promotes a more focused shooter experience than the average, completing a solo run could prove quite the feat for many players.
Online reception to the release of the Black Hawk Down campaign was positive, with many players online praising Delta Force developers Team Jade for making the campaign free. Others expressed appreciation for both the original movie and the earlier Delta Force games, relishing the chance to experience the battles rendered using Unreal Engine 5 and the latest graphical tech. Some worried about potential issues with the balance of the Delta Force Black Hawk Down campaign when it comes to both realism and historical accuracy, noting that the film the campaign is based on came under fire for insensitive portrayals of the battle, particularly regarding the primarily African antagonists.
Now that the campaign is out, Delta Force players and those interested in taking it up will have their chance to evaluate the experience firsthand. And if it turns out successfully, that could grow the potential audience for Delta Force itself and help it compete in the crowded military shooter scene.
