Counter-Strike vs Rocket League
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nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.
Rocket League
Rocket League is one of the most innovative action MMO that seemlessly blends both sports and racing and setting it in an arena-like stadium where players get into teams and battle it out...much like a soccer match but with cars instead of players. The game has one of the best simulated physics system, allowing players to perform reasonably epic saves or goals depending on which side of the match you are. With up to 8 players per match, you can even opt to play via its splitscreen mode against other splitscreen opponents or compete with other players across platforms, traversing the PC-console platform boundary. Similar to a soccer sim, you can enjoy broadcast-quality replays too, where you can literally view the action from anywhere you like within the arena.Rocket League has blown up and shot right up to fame because of it's thrilling competitive gameplay and also its incredibly unique concept of mixing the two things that will get almost anyone excited - soccer and racing! So, if you are looking for a competitive game that you can play with friends on a splitscreen or even online with random players, this is the game to buy!
