Counter-Strike vs Red Crucible: Reloaded
Counter-Strike
Counter-Strike is one of the the pioneers of the team-based multiplayer, action-shooter game genre and it is thanks to these games that we now have games like Combat Arms or even Blacklight. That said, you probably have heard of Counter-Strike so I'll keep this simple. The game places you into a team - either as Terrorists or Counter-Terrorists - before the match and your team will be given an objective to do, be it taking out enemy sites, rescue hostages or simply taking out the other team. For the "vanilla" version of Counter-Strike, the multiplayer community is pretty nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game. So, unless you are feeling nostalgic or if you don't really mind old graphics, then Counter-Strike might just be the game for you.
Red Crucible: Reloaded
Red Crucible: Reloaded is an MMOFPS game that's very similar to its original game, Red Crucible: Firestorm. The game provides players with the usual FPS gameplay along with a wide arsenal of weapons to do combat with and fun game modes to play in. Players can even equip abilities like calling in airstrikes. This is important mainly because similar to Firestorm, this game allows you to put some armor around yourself by driving a tank, and obviously, bullets do little to no damage to the thick armor that tanks are famous for. More powerful explosive weapons like airstrikes and rocket launchers will be needed.Since the game requires the Unity Web Player, be sure to download that first before attempting to load the game. It may be a browser game that requires no installation, but your web browser will need to have the necessary tools for the game to run. Of course, if you can't make it work on your browser, you can always download the game via Steam instead.
Red Crucible: Reloaded is very similar to Red Crucible: Firestorm, and honestly, if you love Firestorm, you'll enjoy playing this game. However, if you have not tried either game, you should really hop into one - I'd recommend Firestorm though - and give the game a try. Its vehicular warfare does make all the difference if you were to compare the game with other MMOFPSes!
