1
Alright, let me just test.
2
So you're fine?
3
Okay, yeah, no, it's fine.
4
It's fine.
5
Watch out for the sharks.
6
Oh my god, this map is actually...
7
What do you mean?
8
Did you know there were sharks?
9
Jack!
10
You thought I was joking, didn't you?
11
Yes, I did.
12
It's Jaws, don't worry.
13
Welcome back to Delta Force.
14
Being honest, I've not played this since January when they announced their version of Levolution-style Destruction.
15
But recently, the developers invited me and Tomo to check out the new Meltdown Season 10 updates and sponsored the video today.
16
To keep it simple, they're calling this Delta Force's biggest update yet, which really interested me to come back.
17
There's a new warfare map called Colosseum with urban fighting and a new VTOL-style vehicle.
18
You can play this in the Conquest-style King of the Hill with lots of different flags or Breakthrough-style Attack and Defend, both with 64 players.
19
There's two new guns this season as well, a marksman and an AR, a new operator to use, N2.
20
But what piqued my interest the most
21
and what we've been playing the most was a new operations map called the AZ-3 Nuclear Plant.
22
This is in the PvPVE extraction mode and they've actually added a lot of new mechanics to the game in this, with various submissions, secrets and for the first time,
23
more of a narrative quest which you can take part in.
24
We've spent around 15 hours on this map in the past few days exploring all of the nooks and crannies, getting in fights along with a new boss and surprises too.
25
So with that said I'm going to show you some of our best moments over the past week
26
or so so you can decide if this is something that you would want to play or not.
27
Just a heads up that PvPing this is not for the faint-hearted, certainly a challenge.
28
Delta Force would also like me to let you know
29
that it is all free to play
30
and the link is down in the description below if you want to check it out for yourself.
31
Drop a like, help support the channel, thank you, sit back, relax and enjoy.
32
Is that the sarcophagus there that they put over the nuclear reactor that's been destroyed.
33
See that?
34
You know more than I do.
35
Have you watched Chernobyl?
36
Amazing series.
37
So this is one of the new guns here, the assault rifle.
38
I no longer have a laser.
39
Yeah.
40
I like the inspect.
41
Tom, please.
42
Just wasted one of my uses there.
43
That's limited use.
44
Can only use two of those in a raid.
45
Oh, look at this.
46
Use one to troll you immediately.
47
Have a shower with me, Tom.
48
What's this?
49
Oh, it's an actual...
50
What's on it? radiation decontamination oh my god it's our second
51
shower together this past hour yeah I know the time to
52
kill in this game can be insanely fast yeah these players
53
Tom no are you players the steps we're hearing below us
54
yeah I thought I saw movement yeah I'm gonna do the task yeah nice accepting the task it has Where's Mansu on?
55
HVT elimination.
56
In here somewhere, Tom, yeah.
57
Okay.
58
Stick together.
59
Below us.
60
Yeah, no, he's here.
61
Enemy down.
62
Good job.
63
Steps to our right.
64
Got him.
65
Good job.
66
Nice.
67
Okay, I like this gun, man.
68
It's nice.
69
Really fast.
70
What's this core reactor stuff?
71
I don't know.
72
Have we got an actual time limit outside of the time limit?
73
If we stay...
74
Let's do this.
75
It'll leak some cement and then...
76
Just activate that.
77
Hopefully drop us some good loot.
78
It's a hammer.
79
Sick.
80
So that's the rarest item in the game if you pick that up.
81
Yeah, okay.
82
Yeah, make sure to put that in your prison wallet.
83
Yeah, in there.
84
Just to make sure that we make it out live.
85
Yeah, it's worth a lot of money, that.
86
I think we kind of work our way around.
87
Yeah.
88
In like a spiral until we get closer to the middle.
89
Well, that says there, nuclear plant control panel.
90
I did see in the trailer there's some kind of story mission you can do or something.
91
Yeah, so they've gone for a bit more of a narrative approach with the way that the mission is.
92
I just checked the map as well, and the mission has come up there, Tom.
93
High value, emergency shutdown.
94
Oh, yeah.
95
Assist our contact and complete the reactor emergency shutdown.
96
Three minutes to do that.
97
You want to make our way over there then?
98
Yeah, let's do it.
99
We haven't used any of our abilities yet either.
100
This is the new operator.
101
No, so they're pretty aggressive.
102
You press F1, you can see what we have.
103
Frost launcher?
104
The frost launcher is the main ability.
105
Cryo flask, which releases cold gas upon landing.
106
And then the homing stun grenade is self-explanatory.
107
You get a trait as well.
108
Low temperature gradually slows enemy movement until they're completely frozen.
109
You can see enemy hypothermia level and frozen enemies will be pinged.
110
Yeah, and then this is the frost grenade?
111
Okay.
112
So if an enemy is in that, they just get slowed, I think.
113
Okay, oh yeah, we got two of them.
114
That'll be a way to play it here, Tom.
115
I think that's bulletproof class.
116
I don't see him behind the door.
117
He's there, Tom.
118
Killed him.
119
You killed him?
120
Yeah, insta-kill.
121
I picked up this thing here, and I'm following it.
122
There's a dot on the radar.
123
Oh, there's a door here.
124
Tom, come here.
125
Key verified.
126
Access granted.
127
Open.
128
What are we going here, then?
129
Oh, there's some RAM there, dude.
130
I mean, we know that's expensive right now.
131
Oh, that's going to be absolute money on a keyboard.
132
Nah, they're still cheap.
133
There's a card that says Jack on it I just picked up.
134
There you go.
135
It's like it was scripted.
136
There's a robot that's spraying a man in a hazmat suit.
137
Sorry?
138
You heard me.
139
Hello? Is he friendly?
140
I think it just sprays us.
141
Can that decontaminate me?
142
Corroded.
143
Ow!
144
Kill it.
145
Oh, you can take over it.
146
I've taken over it.
147
Right, so you could have controlled it.
148
I think so, yeah.
149
There's another one here, Tom, in this weird machine.
150
So we just want to avoid it.
151
It's not going to be aggressive to us.
152
That's a player right there, Jack.
153
He's fired a thing at us.
154
Ow!
155
Yeah, ow indeed.
156
Are they coming for us?
157
Got hit on me.
158
I'm watching.
159
Find a glass there.
160
Close right.
161
Turn out a stun.
162
He's running.
163

167
Two down.
168
Yes, Jack!
169
Third, third, third.
170

171
Moving in.
172
Should be low.
173
He's backed off.
174
Let's go.
175
Right, we should heal, get these finishes, and then we can go after that guy.
176
Yeah.
177
One's dead.
178
Oh, he's up here.
179
He's up here.
180
Oh, oh.
181

182

183
We're about to cover.
184
Got finished on the second.
185
Copy.
186
He's in a horrible spot there, Jack.
187
Careful.
188
Yeah, I think he's going to back off.
189
Checking this guy.
190
Got a seal 19.
191
Old dog tag black hook down dog tag this if I can take control of this thing It's horrible,

195

196

198

199

213
Well played, man.
214
Cured.
215
I died so fast there.
216
I'm not going to die.
217
I'm not going to die.
218
I'm not going to die.
219
I'm not going to die.
220
I died so fast then!
221
Yeah, well, we're gonna have to heal once we're both up.
222
I'm not exactly in a good spot to be doing this, and I have no smokes for this character.
223
Yeah, we're always 2v3 as well.
224
It's challenging.
225
Well played, thank you.
226
So I can move this around by...
227
I just point and it moves?
228
Oh, it's like RuneScape. Is that like RuneScape?
229
Yeah, you would click and then your player would move to that location.
230
Oh, these guys have got nice guns, man.
231
What is that?
232
Yeah, they're gonna...
233
Everyone's gonna have nice guns in normal.
234
Oof.
235
Handsaw?
236
Oddly no. Can he come in here?
237
Let's go.
238
Oh, he does stairs, Tom.
239
He does the stairs.
240
Stair tech unlocked.
241
Advanced drone.
242
I guess you could use it just to distract enemies, but also that corrosion is pretty cool.
243
Holy.
244
Alright, so if we keep moving through here, this is like the main sarcophagus.
245
We might find the boss.
246
Enemies right here?
247
They got no idea.
248
Is he here?
249
No, he's just talking to us on the walkie-talkie.
250
Where you at, boss man?
251
I mean, while we're waiting for him, I can do this little task here and we can get the loot.
252
Yeah.
253
Okay, 11-0-0, 11-0-0.
254
Need down to double zero.
255
Oh, it's him, boss man!
256
Boss, boss, boss!
257
Oh!
258
Oh my god, he just Neo'd all over the place.
259
That's the boss?
260
Does he have anything good?
261
He's got a passkey, a watch.
262
Okay, that's aligned, signal calibrated.
263
I'm watching out, he's got clones hasn't he?
264
So there's going to be more versions of him, I think.
265
Steps outside that door.
266
Open it?
267
Yeah, go for it.
268
Oh!
269
What the hell?
270
No, he's diving through the air!
271
That was insane.
272
What in the Matrix was that?
273
Okay, so there should be like one more clone, right?
274
Is he down here? Is it?
275
Danger 47, get him!
276
Oh!
277
Okay, I would personally not recommend stabbing him like I did.
278
I tried to style on him and I think he poisoned me.
279
Tom, are you okay?
280
I'm fine.
281
I.. think...
282
Something's.. taking over me.
283
Wait, he has a compartment, Tom.
284
Let me reach in and grab it.
285
What's he got?
286
He's got an SSD.
287
What is that?
288
Like what?
289
You familiar with?
290
A nuclear reactor.
291
Yeah, I know everything about nuclear fission, yeah.
292
So tell me what this is then, what does this do?
293
This is the internal combustion system and
294
when the nuclear rods are exploding they actually create the energy
295
and it's forced into these machines and then that powers the rods.
296
Okay.
297
Oh, and that diverts the power to the flux capacitor which sends the system into overdrive.
298
Yeah, and then if the system gets to 88 miles per hour you can time travel.
299
Oh, specifically 88 miles per hour.
300
Of course, of course, yeah I forgot that.
301
I forgot that detail.
302
Okay, should we try and do this new main mission task here?
303
Yeah, if no one's been there yet.
304
I think we need to be on each other this whole time, by the way.
305
Because this map's just released.
306
Okay.
307
I think people are going to be absolute demons.
308
Rescue the contact?
309
We've got to find a contact in here, Tom.
310
What was that sound?
311
Okay, yeah, look, 35 meters away.
312
There's a bunch of stuff that's triggered.
313
I'm in.
314
Oh.
315
Wait, that's gotta be him?
316
He's talking about fixing the rods.
317
Yeah, this is it.
318
Surely this is it.
319
Oh my god, look at that room.
320
His enemies...
321
Ready?
322
Right now.
323
Okay.
324
Got him.
325
Oh, you've saved him.
326
It was a hostage situation, was it?
327
Yeah.
328
This is the first time they've actually put AI into the world.
329
This is cool.
330
Let's close this door, eh?
331
Well, those are the rods moving up and down, you see?
332
Oh, yeah, my rod.
333
Sorry.
334
Let's follow this guy, Jack.
335
Guarding?
336
Wait.
337
Whoa.
338
We have to guard him.
339
Can we get someone on the left?
340
Wem guard him, Leviosa.
341
Closing that door.
342
I've got my ultimate thing ready, just in case.
343
Copy.
344
They're shooting at someone that isn't us, I think.
345
Yeah, I think I see players in the main facility area.
346
I think I saw someone then.
347
Yeah, I'm freezing him.
348
They're throwing stuff back at us, careful.
349
Enemy downed, enemy downed.
350
In a pig?
351
That was a player.
352
Yep.
353
Down?
354
Nice, nice, nice.
355
Got the finish.
356
Just duos, just duos.
357
Where's the other guy then?
358
Right here, stairs.
359
Nice.
360
Pick up the emergency shutdown pass key.
361
This thing here.
362
Activate the emergency shutdown device.
363
You good?
364
Owww!
365
I've got to repair my armor.
366
Hold on, I'm closing the door.
367
Got hit by an RPG, so, uh...
368
Alright, I'm turning this key.
369
I don't know what it's doing
370
but I'm turning it yeah okay oh well there goes the glass radiation damage was
371
that not rocket there no I just overloaded it maybe he's
372
off we have to follow him I don't know where he's going Tom oh there's someone above us I hear him.
373
Heard.
374
Yep, stomping.
375
Heard.
376
Down.
377
Dead.
378
Beautiful, beautiful.
379
Instant, yeah?
380
Yeah, instant.
381
He's opened the door, Tom.
382
Hold on tight!
383
We going up?
384
Yeah.
385
Jump on.
386
No way, dude.
387
Come on!
388
That's awesome.
389
Got a lot of you.
390
Wow.
391
Critical alert.
392
Reactive power out.
393
Whoa!
394
Oh!
395
That's going to be a lot of radiation.
396
I don't think we survived this.
397
I'm taking severe damage there.
398
Oh, you can interact with him.
399
Yeah, I've got it.
400
Oh, he's...
401
What?
402
The hell, he's crashing.
403
Oh, my God, oh, my God!
404
He's throwing me off!
405
Oh, I just managed to jump.
406
Wounded?
407
The hell, he was about to crash into me.
408
That's so inconsiderate.
409
I mean everything's on fire somewhere.
410
Yeah well, you know.
411
Ow!
412
Alright, what are these blue things?
413
Part of the mission.
414
Is that loot?
415
Search, okay it's a container.
416
Hello, hello, hello.
417
Did you get the red thing?
418
No, I've got an explosive, it's gold.
419
No, you can get like, super rare red loot in these apparently.
420
Are we not just in the same room we were in?
421
When the explosion started and we dropped down all of the different levels.
422
Yeah, but the middle of the floor has been blown up.
423
It's the same room, so we've got to be on high alert.
424
I thought this was like a separate spot.
425
Oh, they could be enemies is what you're saying?
426
We could still get found, yeah.
427
Okay.
428
Check all the doors.
429
Like, check a container and then...
430
Am I hearing things?
431
I think I'm hearing steps, but...
432
Have you checked them all?
433
Yeah.
434
Okay, I didn't find any super secret red thing. Did you?
435
Only some gold stuff.
436
Some decent gold stuff.
437
Yeah?
438
Yeah.
439
Have we irradiated the entire level here?
440
Uh, what do you think?
441
Yeah, I imagine so.
442
I don't think anywhere's safe from this.
443
There's a shower nearby?
444
Well, it says we have to get to the extraction point, Tom, in 1 minute 45 seconds.
445
Uh, where is it?
446
Okay, that's already close.
447
There.
448
Let's go then.
449
Yeah, yeah, let's go.
450
Got my bipod at the ready.
451
You just watched my six.
452
Roger that.
453
I mean, I've got your back, your front, your sec, and your crack.
454
And your crack.
455
I've just got an arm fracture.
456
How can you get an arm fracture from radiation?
457
That doesn't even make sense.
458
Because the third arm has got to grow out of the other arm.
459
Oh, it's a mutation.
460
Yes.
461
How about this?
462
I'm going to just try to dive into the extract.
463
I'm pre-nade, just in case.
464
Good job.
465
So this is like a unique extract then for doing that mission.
466
The skyhook.
467
There it is.
468
Where am I?
469
Who's this?
470
It's John Delta Force.
471
Oh, of course.
472
Earnings, almost 1.7 million Tom.
473
For the match.
474
That is crazy.
475
I mean, I know DDR5 is expensive, but I didn't think it was that much.
476
So there we go, guys.
477
That's a look at some of the new content in Delta Force Season 10 Meltdown.
478
Once again, a big thanks to them for supporting the channel today.
479
Link is below if you want to check it out, and it is free to play.
480
Also, I did just see that they've announced a collaboration with Rainbow Six Siege starting on July 10th, which is kind of interesting.
481
So watch out for that.
482
Drop a like if you enjoyed the video.
483
That would be amazing.
484
Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
