Delta Force Launches with Battlefield-Style Gameplay and Controversial Monetization

Tencent's new free-to-play FPS faces criticism for its aggressive monetization and strict anti-cheat measures, including bans on USB drives and virtual machines.

Delta Force, developed by Tencent's Team Jade, launched as a free-to-play FPS inspired by Battlefield and Escape from Tarkov.
Players have praised the large-scale team battles and extensive weapon customization, but some criticize the game for closely mimicking Battlefield 2042 features.
The game's monetization system includes multiple battle passes, gacha mechanics, and premium currencies, raising concerns about exploitative practices.
Delta Force employs GTI Security, a real-time anti-cheat system, banning a wide range of software and hardware, including USB drives and virtual machines.
Critics note the monetization complexity and anti-cheat restrictions may alienate players, despite the game's appeal to fans of classic multiplayer shooters.
