Planetside 2 vs Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms
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.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms , also known as Ghost Recon Online, is a highly competitive and tactical, team-based MMOTPS game where players on either sides will either be fighting to complete the objectives of the map or to deny the opponents their objectives. Besides its challenging yet fun gameplay, the game offers three very different character classes for you to experience the game from. Each of these classes have different roles and have different abilities but the great thing is you can play them all. Furthermore, instead of just going ‘leeroy-jenkins’ on your teammates and attempt to take out all the enemies on your own, you will need to exercise caution in this game and use the various manoeuvres, alternative routes and covers provided in the game to avoid being riddled with bullets. Let’s not forget about its superior graphics and sound system as well. Best of all, this excellent free-to-play game is by no means a pay-to-win game, at least during its early days, and that you cannot ‘quick-scope’ in this game.Unfortunately though, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms has fallen on hard times and have finally decided to close its doors. There isn't a lot of free-to-play games out there that has a cover system that's as well-designed as this game, but you can still find some really similar ones down below.
