Delta Force Season 2 Content Reveal
As explained byJamie Hore of PC GamesN, the first season ofDelta Forcewas akin to a test run, but still packed a lot of content. Based on the livestream,Delta Forceseason 2 is going to scale up on that trend.
Season 2, or Starfall, introduces Sineva,an operatorwith a riot shield, deloyable razor wire, and a grappling hook.
The map department will receive two new titles: the small all-infantry aptly named Knife Edge, and Train Wreck, which is expected to be closer to Zero Dam in size.
The existing line-up will get some love as well. Star City’s Industry zone will become roomier, while Zero Dam gets a major underground expansion.Escape From Tarkovfans know how valuable those are as demonstrated with the Reserve map bunker expansion.

Starfall will also bringnew game modesfor a limited time.Hot Zone pits three teams of three against each other, with the goal of finding then decrypting a MandelBrick, or killing everyone else.
IfCounter-Strikebomb style is not your thing, the new season also adds a classic Capture The Flag mode.
Given how popular such game modes are in virtually every other major shooter,hopefully Team Jade will consider making at least one of them permanent.

The developers spared some time toward the end to reveal a little about the missions of theBlack Hawk Downcampaign.
The first mission will put you in the shoes of Delta Force operators during the raid on a Somali militia meeting to capture high-value targets.
Missions 2 and 4 follow soldiers of the 75th Rangers Regiment as they try to drive back to UN-controlled areas under fire.
Missions 3 and 5 will focus on the Black Hawk crash sites, though it is unclear whether they will be told from a Delta or Ranger perspective.
Mission 6 dims the lights as you fight your way out at night, potentially without night vision.
Last but certainly not least,mission 7 will follow the Mogadishu Mile, as a group of survivors fights their way back on foot.
The campaign does not have a release date thus far, butthe developers have made it clear it will be catered to a co-op experience.
