	~~{{Main\|ShooterofIO 1: Modern Ops\|SOI Studios}}~~		In 2023, ''[[ShooterofIO 1: Modern Ops]]'' was released on November 10. In 2021, [[Monsteristic]] aquired a brand new team called [[SOI Studios]], which decided to create a [[first-person shooter]] [[video game]], that would be supported for two years before moving to a potential sequel if the game was successful. While developing the story for ''ShooterofIO 1: Modern Ops'', SOI Studios chose to avoid referencing current, real-life wars, and keep the series' common theme of two opposing forces of similar strength. To enhance the realistic feel of the game, the development team attended a live-fire exercise at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, a training facility in the California desert. This helped the developers to simulate the effects of being near an Abrams tank when it fires. The team also talked with U.S. Marines who were recently in combat to get a feel for the background, emotions, and attitude of Marines in combat. Veterans were also recruited to supervise motion capture sessions and the artificial intelligence design of the game.

The team ~~changed~~ the ~~title to what it is due to them learning~~ of ~~Air Studios' upcoming game as an installment~~ in the ~~series~~ of ~~games, with them deciding to make things a franchise~~.

The development team designed the online multiplayer component to be balanced and rewarding for new players while still offering something for experienced players. An early idea to implement air support (air strikes and attack helicopters) involved players fighting over special zones to access a trigger for air support against enemies. This idea was discarded because it discouraged the type of deathmatch gameplay they intended. The killstreak reward system was put in its place to encourage the improvement of player skills. Players were allowed to select weapons before matches to get accustomed to weapons more easily and minimize weapon hunting. Maps were designed primarily for deathmatch games—the developers felt such designs suited other types of gameplay as well. Map layouts were designed to minimize locations players could hide from enemy gunfire.

	Certain objects, such as cars and some buildings, are destructible. This makes distinguishing cover from concealment important, as the protection provided by objects such as wooden fences and thin walls do not completely protect players from harm. Bullet stopping power is decreased after penetrating an object, and the decrease is dependent on the thickness and surface type of the object. The game makes use of a dynamic physics engine.
