Battle Carnival vs Unreal Tournament
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.
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament by Epic Games is not the 1999, old-school version by the way - it is a brand-new, work-in-progress version that can support up to 4k resolution. This newer version of Unreal Tournament also added several new dodge styles to the frantic jumping and sprinting gameplay that all Unreal games are famous for. However, despite its brilliant new graphics and gameplay tweaks, the game retains the core of what made Unreal Tournament incredibly popular back in the day - all its intense fragging, maze-like maps, power-ups and most importantly, a community of friendly yet competitive players to play the game with.Although Unreal Tournament has been under development for quite some time now (since 2014), it's interesting to note that Epic Games lets players enjoy the game as it is being developed and they really take fans' feedback and suggestions into consideration. So, despite technically being an unfinished game, Unreal Tournament is already operational... meaning you can now play it... and best yet, it's free-to-play.
So, if you longed for a modernized and improved version of Unreal Tournament, this is the game to play.
