Battle Carnival vs Halo Reach
Battle Carnival
Battle Carnival is a unique MMO shooter game that attempts to combine the strategy that goes into character-switching in character-based shooters like Overwatch with the somewhat arcade-like gameplay that the fans of the age-old yet iconic franchise, Counter Strike, might be very familiar with. Featuring 7 early access characters that you can access right from the start, the game puts a lot of emphasis on the roles these characters can play and how by switching some of them up, your team may be able to counter the enemy's lineup. Of course, knowing how to aim is still a crucial skill needed in any MMO shooter.The game provides 2 game modes at the moment - Demolition and Domination. Demolition is the clear favorite since the 5-vs-5 matches there are usually pretty fast-paced - 3 mins per round and the game can be won simply by winning 5 rounds. Domination, however, is slower-paced and features the "capture and hold the area" gameplay. It's a 6-vs-6 match that can last up to 12 minutes or so. The maps are all very well-designed with multiple flanking and outflanking routes, though some may complain that the maps are confusing and "maze-like".
Battle Carnival is currently in early access and as such, the game does have plenty of problems that need to be fixed, areas that need improving and of course, more features and content that need to be released. The player population is a bit on the low end as well. Regardless, the game does seem to have a potential to fill a niche that buy-to-play shooters have hogged and with changes, it can be better. In the meantime though, you might still want to give the game a try, just so you can let the developers know about your feedback and help them turn the game into a game you'd want to stick around in.
Halo Reach
Halo Reach is one of the best spin-offs from the award-winning Halo series. Set in a whole new planet called Reach, the UNSC is attempting to deny the Covenant a hold on the planet and in its defense, they have sent their best team yet, the Noble Team. Joining the team as their sixth member, you'll need to work with your comrades and defend Reach from the hordes of the Covenant.Halo: Reach has been touted as being one of the best Halo game of all time mainly because of its amazing storyline and a gameplay that's fun and engaging. Aside from an impressive campaign, the game also features an addictive multiplayer aspect which includes a compelling 4-player co-op Firefight mode that, in fact, is one of the main highlights of the game. Despite being out for 7 years and counting, this game is still very well-loved by fans and critics alike.
