Blackshot Online vs Combat Arms: Reloaded
Blackshot Online
Blackshot Online is a military-themed MMOFPS that is quite similar to popular game franchises like Counter Strike or Call of Duty. To play, players simply choose the "room" they want to play in via a lobby-based system or even create their own rooms. The gameplay, on the other hand, feels like your typical free-to-play shooter such as Crossfire and Special Forces (SF) but with superior visuals, brand-new maps, and fun game modes, some of which are team-based, to play in. There are also ton of customization options for your avatar as well as an arsenal of weapons for you to buy.Despite its age, Blackshot Online is still a pretty popular game and has a strong player base so you don't have to worry about having to wait for ages to fill up the teams in a match. It is actually the sort of game you'd go to if you long to experience the thrill of games like CoD and CS without having to buy those games.
Combat Arms: Reloaded
Combat Arms: Reloaded is the rebooted version of a popular free-to-play MMOFPS, Combat Arms. This version is basically the same as the original in many ways - it has the same albeit slightly smoother gameplay, a host of more than 600 guns for you to purchase and use, a ton of fun, and mostly team-based, game modes, and more. The merc you play as can also be customized and there's a clan system that can help competitive hardcore players take it to the next level.Similar to its predecessor, the weapons in Combat Arms: Reloaded are not all permanent. You do get a couple of permanent ones but unless you are willing to spend some money, you'll probably be getting guns that will last a certain duration. The same goes for costumes and accessories. Besides this, players have voiced concern over the poor matchmaking, possibly due to its lower player count at the moment, and the poor anti-cheat system.
Combat Arms: Reloaded attempts to bring back its glory days as one of the more popular F2P MMOFPS games on the internet, but the game doesn't seem to have gotten with the times and updated itself sufficiently to attract newer players. It plays perfectly if you simply want a trip down memory lane, but there's honestly a lot better MMOFPS games out there that would give you better worth for your time.
