Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare vs Half Life 2: Episode One
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a first-person action-shooter game from the critically-acclaimed Call of Duty franchise that's set in a futuristic and advanced world where soldiers of that era have access to a wide variety of "fun new toys" including powerful exoskeletons, covert cloaking abilities, advanced biomechanics, specialized drones and even a cool hoverbike. The game's strongly story-driven, providing players with a pretty linear path (with a few pockets of freedom) to go through in order to learn more a world that is dominated with private military corporations (PMCs) with largest PMC, Atlas Corporation, in the center of it all.Although Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare offers multiplayer mode, it is basically dead since you'll mainly be matched up with bots rather than actual human players, though if you can get a couple of friends to play the game with you, you might still get a decent multiplayer experience out of it. The game's campaign though is simply amazing - you should definitely check it out.
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 2.
