Delta Force – ****** Hawk Down Launches to ‘Mostly Negative’ Reviews Because It’s Too Difficult

Delta Force – ****** Hawk Down was released by Team ***** and the TiMi Studio Group on February 21, but it has quickly spiralled out of control where reviews are concerned. ****** Hawk Down is the story-driven branch of Delta Force, the Battlefield-like shooter that was released in December 2024.

****** Hawk Down is a free expansion that offers players – either solo or with friends – to explore a campaign mode that replicates the events that occurred in Somalia in 1993 as part of the ‘Battle of Mogadishu’. However, critics have surfaced online stressing that the mode is ‘unnecessarily difficult’ and the overall ratings are crashing down.

Not a Good Start

****** Hawk Down looks great on the surface but is perhaps a little too challenging. That’s the consensus amongst players diving into the free Delta Force expansion, which was released on February 21.

Out of 3,406 reviews (at the time of writing) on Steam, only 35% are positive. Here are some of the most critical comments from Steam users:

• ‘So many stupid design choices that hold back what could be a really cool, if not short, single player shooter experience.’ – Basil
• ‘Unnecessarily difficult. Played it with a 2 man crew, and the last level is basically impossible.’ – Robby301
• ‘Poorly optimized, enemies spawning right on top of you and plainly unfun to play. Feels like a chore.’ – Kurtye

Delta Force is a great shooter with untold potential, even if it feels like a reskin (and a thinly veiled one at that) of Battlefield 2042. It boasts a similar UI, class system, map pool, and game feel to EA’s latest first-person shooter in the iconic series. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though – Battlefield 2042 was a shambles, so Delta Force makes for a nice alternative.

Most players are complaining that the difficulty rating in ****** Hawk Down doesn’t scale appropriately to consider the number of people playing the game. If you’re playing solo, the claims are that you’ll face the same challenges as if you were in a team, and that enemies are just thrown at you for the sake of it.

On top of that, the mode is designed to be brutal and realistic, so players have no (or painfully few) checkpoints, a one-life mechanic is being used, and resources such as ammo and healing items are scarce. That’s in stark comparison to a multiplayer shooter that has quite a strong ‘arcade’ feel to it.
