Fractured Space vs Planetside 2
Fractured Space
Fractured Space is a sci-fi-themed MMO game from Edge Case Games that provides the breathtaking visuals of any game set in space and also an impressive space combat mechanism that may bring to mind the vast battlefields of strategic (as opposed to Rambo-styled) action MMOs like the ones from Wargaming, specifically, World of Warplanes and maybe World of Warships. The game features a ton of starship variety in addition to letting you customize your ships whichever way you like, including handpicking your own starship crew and putting in custom decals.With a team-oriented gameplay, Fractured Space allows you to live out your dreams of incredible space battles, albeit virtually, in a game that focuses more on strategy than more in action. So, take command of your own starship today and enjoy epic dogfights in space!
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.
