Tip of the Spear: Task Force Elite is a multiplayer FPS inspired by classic games from the late 1990s and early 2000s where you storm compounds, raid tunnels, assault towns, and snipe along mountains in tactical battles with up to 50 players.

Combat takes players into close quarters urban environments and spans across expansive mountainous landscapes over 10 square miles in size (16 square kilometers). Players will storm compounds, raid tunnels, assault towns, and snipe along mountains in tactical player-vs-player battles with up to 50 players. Tip of the Spear: Task Force Elite provides players with an easy learning curve and deep mechanics, including realistic ballistics and bullet drop that allow snipers to gauge a target’s distance, adjust their scope’s elevation, and land a shot from over a mile away.

The studio’s thoughtful approach to level design features designated enemy spawn points, ensuring the opposing team never randomly spawns behind players. The studio is also working on an innovative approach to map creation that will allow community members to create and play custom maps with their friends.

Tip of the Spear: Task Force Elite will feature classic game modes including Team Deathmatch, Team King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, and more.

Red Jake Studios announced a major Steam Early Access content update is coming to Tip Of The Spear: Task Force Elite on October 29th 2020, perfectly timed to coincide with the platforms free weekend that runs until the 2nd of November. 

The Early Access 3.0 update is a major milestone to the game and has been extensively tested with the support of more than 100 BETA testers. The update adds a brand-new sound system, new urban and terrain-based challenging maps to play with 100s of exclusive assets, and improvements have been made to the existing modes of play (TKOTH, TDM, CTF & DM). Known bugs have been flushed out, and the menus and HUD redesigned and improved. Fans with older systems will welcome the optimizations done to the core engine, allowing the game to be fully enjoyed on legacy systems.

Levels feature designated enemy spawn points, ensuring the opposing team never randomly spawns behind players. Re-enlist for classic game modes, including Team King of the Hill and Team Deathmatch. Engage in close quarters combat in urban locales with house-to-house warfare, or creep along the rooftops and reign fire from above.

Wage war across enormous open world landscapes over 10 miles (16 kilometers) in size. Snipe targets from incredible distances with a realistic ballistics system. Gauge your target’s distance, adjust your scope’s elevation, compensate for bullet drop, and nail the enemy from over a mile away.
