Delta Force is eating Battlefield's lunch

It looks like players are enjoying this f2p game a lot. It’s been three months since its release, and it still has over 60,000 players on steam. All Battlefield games on Steam combined have around 30,000 players. I think it also has an extraction shooter and a co-op zombie-like mode, but I haven’t tried them yet. With its recoil system, graphics, performance, good looking maps and decent gunplay, I can say it offers a solid Battlefield experience. I've just unlocked the Siege mode, and now I’m fighting in a smaller are, like the old conquest maps. I feel like I’m going to enjoy this mode even more. What do you think about delta force?

Update: It has kernel level anticheat so be careful.

Not interested in a poor man's Battlefield from Tencent when we already have the Battlefield at home still going strong:

After 2024, there was a gap created by EA for a decent modern FPS game.

Delta Force is average at best but it's a good thing it's taking some BF playerbase, giving EA a kick up the ass is what they need to push the next BF in the right direction, AKA the opposite direction of 2042.
 
Tried Delta Force and thought it was ok but not sure what it is but it feels like a cheap copy through and through. I know it's a free game but it actually does feel like a free game with all the menus and unlocks and shit you gotta claim

It's a cheap Chinese clone with CCP spyware kernal-level anti-cheat that DOES NOTHING because the PC version is hacked to all hell with cheaters.

Wow, I didn't know that it has kernel-level anticheat. Now I'm uninstalling it, lol. It's a good clone though. There are tons of cosmetic battle pass nonsense in CoD and Battlefield too, and even they look like cheap F2P copies of their older versions. At least this game was actually F2P.

Here is how to uninstall it completely;

Wait... Easy Anti-Cheat, Punkbuster, BattlEye are also kernel level?

Tried it out a few months ago and got hooked badly towards it. It's exactly what battlefields needs to be really. Few friends of mine where also hooked up on it.
Atm busy with other games but i do play it as a filler game here and there.

Delta Force would have no chance even at such moderate success if Battlefield 2042 wasn't such a pile of garbage. And even considering this, no game has ever beaten what Battlefield series is best known for - combined infantry/vehicle gameplay. Delta Force may very well be a comparatively decent infantry focused FPS (which let's be honest is not that hard to pull off), but getting vehicles to a place where they are actually fun to play and have a high skill ceiling is a completely different story.

It has vehicle combat though, tanks mostly.
 
F2P and new vs. Battlefield lost a lot of reputation over the later releases and even the last game was a couple of years ago (I think). EA only sells keys for their EA app and not Steam, so you'd have to pay full price and be locked their store front. EA has a subscription service too.

A lot of these games seem to get high numbers at the start, but drop off quite quickly too..... usually.

That being said, people can enjoy whatever game they want, even in the same genre. It doesn't have to be a competition all the time by measuring Steam numbers.

I tried Delta Force and it has the same problem 2042 had. The 'unique' operators are an immersion breaker for me cause there are dozens of players with the same model running around. With BF4, the player models are more generic so even if the same thing is happening I don't notice it.

Tempted to reinstall BF4 to see that game at 4k Ultra settings.

Game is a ton of fun. The moment to moment gameplay and battles are intense and there's a minimal amount of BS mechanics considering it's large-scale combat.

There's also currently no controller support, which I absolutely love because everybody has to actually aim. That may be a big reason why the game feels good.

Any anti-cheat worthwhile is kernel level now.
