Operator

Operator is a tactical first-person shooter in which you play as an elite Tier 1 operator carrying out clandestine operations around the globe. You take on missions with a team, using measured tactics, realistic weapon handling, ballistics, injury, gore and active ragdolls.

First-person movement

The first-person view shows your character’s full body, with movement and actions represented in the world rather than by separate floating hands and weapons. Leaning and aiming use procedural movement, and weapons occupy physical space. You interact with doors and use an adjustable crouch, lean and stance system to control your position and angle precisely.

You can vary your movement speed, manually operate firearms and use high- or low-ready positions to rest your arm stamina and avoid flagging fellow operators. Weapon collisions and shoulder tapping are also part of the controls.

Team tactics and equipment

Missions call for coordination with fellow operators across settings ranging from urban close-quarters combat to open terrain. You can use the environment and tools such as tactical grenades, battering rams and hammers. An ISR feed with thermal imagery provides information about conditions in your area of operations.

You can customize firearms with a wide range of attachments, stripping a weapon down to its receiver and building it back up for a mission.

Plan operations

From a laptop in the armory, you select active operations or enter simulation mode and plan missions. Operations take place around the globe; you can review gathered intelligence and information about the area, then choose details such as the time of day and infiltration point.

After completing an operation, you can replay it in simulation mode and adjust parameters including enemy count and difficulty. The simulation category also includes PvP Force on Force modes, with Team Deathmatch and Free-for-All matches across multiple settings.

Train and compete

At the shooting range, you can run a randomized shoot house whose layout, active targets and non-targets change between runs. A timer and a record of previous runs let you track your performance.
