Counter-Strike vs Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
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nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is the highly anticipated installment to the acclaimed team-based, first-person shooter series, the Rainbow Six, which is based loosely on Tom Clancy's bestselling novels. Being an exclusively multiplayer game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege offers players the rare opportunity to engage in intense, close-quarters confrontations by either bunkering down the site (if you play as the defender) or breaching the site (if you play as the attacker). Each match is highly tactical in nature, emphasizing on clever and well-timed breaching or defending strategies as well as perfect locations to set up or use the tools at your disposal regardless of which side of the fight you may be, in addition to accurate shooting and effective teamplay.The best part in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege though is that the game allow procedural destruction and this is something every player should use, especially for the breachers, to take their enemies by surprise. Collapse entryways to block paths or break down walls and ceilings to open up new ones - do whatever it takes to ensure victory for your team.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege may not be an easy game for newcomers to get into since they will have to learn the maps via the hard way (like most MMO shooter games actually), but once you have a certain experience in the game, you'll find this game amazingly-stimulating and refreshing due to its incredibly tactical teamplay.
