Delta Force is a decent Battlefield clone, but its monetization is like gazing into a bottomless void from which no light can escape (www.pcgamer.com)

Just in case anyone reading this is unaware, this is not a Novalogic Delta Force game. Tencent bought the name/IP, initiated delisting of all the good Novalogic games from Steam etc., and pumped out this stupid ass “game”. Hopefully it dies faster than Concord.

When I originally saw the game on steam I felt a pang of nostalgia. Then I saw the kernel level anticheat and the F2P trappings and was so disappointed

I missed that Tencent had involvement though. Weirdly that makes me feel better. Not because I think that might make it a decent game, but more because it means that the people who made a game I liked didn't have as much of a hand in this travesty.

It's like having to kill a zombified loved one. It might look like them, but it's not them anymore

Shit, should have bought them on GOG when they were still there..

The most hilarious part of this game is that Tencent's rootkit anticheat is so awful it's actively causing problems with other people's rootkit anticheat.

I mean, it's all awful, but I can't recall a time when, for example, EAC was actively causing issues with other games and then being essentially impossible to uninstall because why would you ever want to actually remove a rootkit?

Chinese games, not even once.

I don't play many free games, they're too expense.
