Special Forces Group 3, the latest in the popular FPS franchise, launches early access for Android
Forge Game’s popular Special Forces Group series is set to receive the next game in the franchise; Special Forces Group 3. This time, the tactical first-person shooter is planning on a variety of improvements to the Special Forces Group formula, featuring new UI elements, over 40 maps, new characters, weapons, and more.
For those unfamiliar, the Special Forces Group series is a globally celebrated first person shooter franchise that is akin to experiences like Rainbow Six Siege or Counter Strike. Tactical, slower-paced action that will have you slowly peeking corners and communicating with your team to achieve victory across a wide variety of game modes.
This particular release of Special Forces Group 3, which is an early access build, already has those 40+ maps implemented as well as a fair number of the new pieces of content mentioned above. While a lot of these maps are new, you can expect to see a few familiar locales amongst the lot from the other SFG games.
While you may not be expecting an early access version to have so much content, this build also includes a decent variety of game modes as well such as Classic, Resurrection, Capture The Flag, Zombie Mode, Bomb Mode, Knives, Deathmatch, ArmsRace, and Snipers. All of these are playable offline with bots, or online with Wi-Fi, with a functioning friends system as well to play alongside your buddies.
The gun selection is predictably massive, featuring pistols, snipers, SMGs, rifles, and more oddities like unique melee weapons and special utility items. With all of these choices combined with the massive amount of maps, different game modes, and the ability to play both offline and online, this is a really large amount of content, especially for an early access version.
If you’re into the series, or just looking for what is shaping up to be one hell of a mobile FPS release, you can download the early access for Special Forces Group 3 on Google Play for free. As of now, there’s no word on an iOS release, but it is expected to be announced alongside the release date for the full version at some point in the near future
Special Forces Group 3 is the third installment of one of the most popular and fun multiplayer FPS franchises on Android. This installment's approach is basically the same as always, with casual teams and lots of action in true Counter-Strike style, although it also offers tons of new game modes, weapons, and improvements that will delight hardcore fans.
Special Forces Group 3's controls are totally customizable. By default, you can use the virtual D-pad on the left side of the screen to move and the controls on the right to aim. But you can also customize your gaming experience from the options menu, where you can activate and deactivate options like automatic shooting and aiming assistance. In fact, you're free to play however you want.
Special Forces Group 3 has nine different game modes, so it's hard to get bored. The most popular is still Classic Mode, where terrorists and counter-terrorists face off in near-identical replicas of the most iconic Counter-Strike scenarios. You can also play Capture the Flag, Arms Race, Bomb Mode, or Zombies Mode, among many others.
Although these game modes are the most noteworthy addition to this installment, they're not the only thing that's new. There are also lots of new skins for your characters, as well as plenty of weapons and many new maps. Not to mention the new graphics, which have improved by leaps and bounds compared to this saga's second installment.
Special Forces Group 3 is an excellent first-person shooter that offers both a traditional experience for this genre as well as the occasional novelty when you get bored of the classic modes. All this with a control system that's perfect for touch screens and excellent graphics to boot..
