Get H-Hour: World's Elite for PC

H-Hour: World's Elite is a tactical, team-based multiplayer military shooter for up to 16 players. Cooperation and strategy are central to its one-life matches: if you are eliminated, you wait until the round ends. A third-person perspective helps you stay aware of your surroundings. Respawn matches are also available for warmups and for new players to adjust before joining one-life play.

Characters and maps

Characters are inspired by real Special Operations Forces, and the maps depict plausible real-world locations repurposed and staged for battle. The game includes six official maps and a free community-map pack with both SOCOM recreations and original maps. You can choose from six characters, each with four camos.

Game modes

Six modes support matches of up to 16 players: Elimination, Demolition, Breach, Sabotage, Suppression and Hostage Extraction. Matches can use either one-life or respawn play. At the end of a match, an MVP award is given.

Combat and teamwork

You choose from a variety of weapon and equipment loadouts, pick up weapons, open and close doors, plant or defuse bombs, and use melee attacks. Guns are hot when you are near an enemy or when you click the right mouse button to fire. You can also collect ammunition and equipment dropped by teammates, climb ladders, jump to climb and vault over selected objects. Four dance moves are available for celebrating kills.

Team VOIP and text communication use separate channels for living and dead players. When eliminated, you can spectate your teammates. In-game menus provide team actions, options and weapon inventory selections, while the lobby lets you access the Armory, switch teams and set options. The game also tracks achievements, player statistics and leaderboard statistics, and includes a unique ranking system and team-kill management.

Servers and community maps

The game supports LAN, user-created rooms and dedicated servers. Server settings can restrict weapon classes or ranks, enable vote-kicking, friendly fire and proxy chat, set player and round limits, choose game modes and map rotations, and select ranked or unranked play. Servers can also use password protection and admin functions. Custom tools let community map makers create maps for possible addition to the community-map pack after approval.
