Delta Force vs Call of Duty vs Battlefield: Which is Better?
Three of the most popular first-person combat shooter games are Delta Force, Call of Duty, and Battlefield. Generally, they are all fun and immersive to play, let's take a quick look, however, at how they differ from each other.
Among the myriad of FPS games today, there are three that stand out, Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Delta Force. These are all series games with a number of iterations released through the years. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield nave been quite prolific, especially in the last few years and Delta Force is making a comeback of its own.
The question is on the comparison of the three games and which one is the best of them, but then is quite a tough question to answer as the results of making an overall comparison of the franchises would end up inconclusive and opinion-based due to several factors that each of the game titles possess. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield have their own distinct player communities and following, Delta Force is just beginning to prove itself and the overall majority of FPS Combat players love to play all three titles in general.
Regardless, a comparison between the three will give one an idea of their specific strengths and weaknesses and how this may attract or repel certain followings and game preferences among the global FPS gaming crowd. With that said, let's take a look at each of them.
Chuck Norris
For old gamers like me, the name Delta Force is synonymous with the legendary action star Chuck Norris who brought massive popularity to the special forces unit with his movie "The Delta Force" in 1986. Likewise, the game franchise "Delta Force" is the oldest among the three game franchises as it was first launched way back in 1998 and has been in the hearts of the older combat video gamers who were the first to play it. Sadly, the franchise lagged with the last game Delta Force XTreme 2 in 2009.
The latest Delta Force game, Hawk Ops, just came out this 2024 as a free-to-play on Steam and so far looks really promising. The game has several game modes in a multiplayer competitive environment, and the missions take realism into detail seriously. The graphics are really good as well as the ambient and weapon sounds. The campaign mode is still under constructions so current players will have to do competitive and team-based for now.
Overall the game is very immersive and provides ample skins and weaponry to satisfy gamer choices for individual elegance in the game. The gameplay is tough and worthy of current-day combat shooters although there are still some bugs that have to be ironed out in the game. Players complain of armor issues when it comes to arms and legs and the ineffectiveness of the anti-cheat feature of the game.
Paying attention to current player feedback and acting on it may definitely bring Delta Force: Hawk Ops to the front of the franchise list.
Your country needs you
Call of Duty was first released in 2003. The beauty of the franchise is that it has a connecting storyline that spans the whole franchise through the years. The operatives, the good guys, and the bad guys are all interconnected through a dynamic storyline through time so that the results and endings in previous iterations of the game affect the situation in the following releases.
The gaming is intense, the graphics and effects are awesome, there are a lot of weapons to choose from and use, the ambient, weapon, and music audio lend to the player's immersion in the game and the drama, narration, and voice acting will reel one into the story and the desire to follow it through. Despite features of the game that are a bit unrealistic, overall, Call of Duty's Campaign mode sets it apart from other shooter games.
Sadly, something happened that tarnished the game's immersive quality in the multiplayer arena of the game. This led to disappointment in the franchise community on how the game was to be played online at the competitive level when the later iterations of the franchise adapted DEI orientation into the gameplay. This did not bode well with the majority of the FPS combat gaming community and the franchise has been in a sort of a decline since then from the negative output from long-time gamers and content creators.
The reality of battle
Battlefield 1942 was first released in 2002. As the title suggests, it was a WW2 FPS game. However, Battlefield did not stop there and the story and iterations of the game moved on through the years. Looking closely at the combat FPS gaming timeline, Battlefield's main competitor was (and still is) COD. The big difference between the two is "Realism".
Battlefield relies on being as realistic in warfare as can be. The maps alone are huge and adhere to both historical and theoretical past and present warfare. The guns, gear, and other weapons are a bit harder to use as they are based on realistic performances as to why the learning curve of the franchise games can be a bit difficult to learn. Likewise, the gameplay is no walk in the park as realism is the name of the game.
Many gamers want to have fun and an easy way to self achievement (at least in the game). There are however FPS fans of the realistic experience and these are the crowds that go for Battlefield instead of COD. The graphics, sounds, and effects are awesome in many ways compared to COD, and playing Battlefield makes you feel like you're in a real war which happens to be its biggest advantage.
At the time of this writing, it's just too early to tell which of the three majority of FPS gamers will gravitate to. Delta Force is quite new and not yet complete. COD Black Ops 6 has just also been released and Battlefield 6 is under development and coming. So once again time will tell, and once again, it's really up to the player's opinion which one is best.
