Counter-Strike vs Zula
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nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.
Zula
Zula is a Europe-only, free-to-play MMOFPS game that will see you joining either the group of militarized vigilantes (the Zulas) or the paramilitary force that has its fingers in almost every military organization around the world. Featuring a military-style gameplay that many Counter Strike players, especially the older versions of the game, can relate to and may even enjoy immensely. The game offers tons of game modes for you to enjoy, most of which are team-based, though there are solo modes like the Free-for-all mode. If you're good enough to compete in ranked matches, there are tournaments for you to sign up as well. In fact, Zula is apparently pretty huge in the eSports industry, but of course, if you are to compare it with CS:GO then, it'd be an unfair comparison.With so many weapons and skins along with characters who are based off on popular TV heroes, it is no wonder Zula has had so much success and for so long in Europe. We are not sure when... or even if the game is going to be opened up to the global gamer population but in the meanwhile, you can check out our games like Zula below. If you're from Europe though, then be sure to give this game a try!
