Crossfire vs Planetside 2
Crossfire
Crossfire is a highly addictive and competitive MMOFPS game that offers players from all around the world a chance to dive into intense PvP shootouts where only the most skillful will emerge victorious. Featuring a classic first person shooter gameplay, the game has some really smooth controls as well as shooting and aiming mechanics that allows skill to trump equipment... but that doesn't mean equipment are completely pointless either. Not to mention, Crossfire even has some really interesting games modes, such as the Ghost mode, in addition to the usual team deathmatches and deathmatches.Crossfire combines the concepts of teamwork, cooperation, variety and of course destruction into one neatly executed package, and honestly, it does a fantastic job of reminding players why the traditional MMOFPS games were so addictive.
Planetside 2
Planetside 2 is a sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game that's the explosive sequel to its predecessor, Planetside, which was released back in 2003. In a way, the game is more inclined towards the extravagant and yet is still rather down-to-earth mainly because it features massive battlefields where hundreds to even thousands of players can battle it out for their faction. In fact, the game has an exciting gameplay which may bring to mind the games in the Battlefield franchise albeit the futuristic sort.Not to mention, Planetside 2 has an actual war playing out on the map where players who won a certain battlefield will essentially "claim" the land for their faction. The tug-of-war-like power struggle between factions help to bond the players in a way that resembles the deep rift between the Alliance and the Horde in World of Warcraft. The game is also developed by Daybreak Games which is in pretty good company along the likes of EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online and Lord of the Rings Online.
So, if you're looking for an epic MMOFPS game to fully immerse yourself in, then Planetside 2 is your best bet. If not, there are plenty of other casual shooters out there, but you can definitely expect that none of them can measure up to the faction-vs-faction tension, which usually erupts into another battle, offered in this game.
