Hardcore Gamer is teaming up with Absolut Soft to give 100 lucky readers Hired Ops on Steam.

Currently in Early Access, Hired Ops is a session-based online shooter dedicated to fierce conflicts between rival mercenary groups battling on a global scale from Russian developer AbsolutSoft. Using the latest weapons and special equipment, players take part in armed encounters, unite into private military companies, carry out contracts, build bases and aggressively compete with each other - all for the sake of domination in the world mercenary market.

To enter, simply comment below with your favorite online shooter this year (there are no right or wrong answers). Entrants with five or more article comments outside of giveaways at the time the contest ends will be granted an additional entry.

The contest is open to all HardcoreGamer.com readers. 100 winners will be chosen at random to receive a Steam code of Hired Ops from all eligible entries received by 11:59pm Pacific Time Friday, December 23 2016. Please enter only once — duplicate entries will be discarded. Prizes that are not claimed within seven days will be awarded to other entrants.
