DotA 2 vs Planetside 2
DotA 2
DotA 2 , like League of Legends, is among the world's most popular MOBA with millions of players logging in everyday. The game features exhilaratingly strategic gameplay where teamwork is of utmost importance, as well as a myriad of well-designed maps, and a lineup of delicately balanced heroes, each with their own roles, specialities, strengths and weaknesses. Each hero can be further customized to fit the role needed and the playstyle of the player with items that can be purchased while in a match. DotA 2 is also the world's most competitive MOBA with millions of dollars iven to the winners at its main event, The International, which was held annually.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.
