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?
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

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