[h2]Content Included in the Alpha Test[/h2]
The Delta Force: Hawk Ops PC Alpha Test will include both of the game's primary multi-player game modes:

Hazard Operations
Welcome to the extraction shooter, Delta Force style! You begin by carefully selecting a loadout, including weaponry, armor, and health items, before being deployed in a 3-person squad to a random location on the map and tasked with locating and extracting the most valuable resources.

Standing in your way are cunning AI-controlled enemy forces, as well as the most dangerous foe of them all - squads of rival players. Get taken out by enemy forces, or fail to reach your extraction point, and you risk losing everything - the weapons and items you brought into the match, as well as any loot picked up along the way. Only items stored in your safe box will be sent back to base following each game.

The PC Alpha Test will initially feature two Hazard Operations maps, with a third planned to be added later in the test. Expect many more in the full release.


Havoc Warfare
This is Delta Force: Hawk Ops at its most bombastic, featuring full-on warfare across huge maps utilizing a variety of land, sea and air vehicles. This mode is all about map dominance, as two opposing sides (32 v 32 with 4-person squads) will battle for control of strategic points on the map.

The PC Alpha Test will feature two Havoc Warfare maps. Expect many more in the full release.



In addition, the PC Alpha Test will give players a taste of the game's extended Gunsmith system, as well as its unique playable Operators:

Gunsmith System
Over 40 weapons from the full version of Delta Force: Hawk Ops will be available to try out during the PC Alpha Test. Not only that, players will also have access to the extensive Gunsmith system, allowing for customization of many aspects of your firearm's handling and design. Choose from a wide assortment of stocks and sights, and fine-tune precise details such as the exact position of your fore grip.

Meet the Operators
The Global Threat Initiative (G.T.I.) is made up of combat veterans from around the world. These are the best of the best, with each Operator bringing their own unique ability to the table. A tight-knit squad of G.T.I. Operators utilizing their tactical equipment in perfect synergy is a force to be reckoned with. The following six Operators from the full version of Delta Force: Hawk Ops will be available to try during the Alpha Test:


Kai Silva



Roy Smee



Luna Chen



Terry Musa



Wang Yuhao



Mai Xiaowen
