Planetside 2 vs Zula
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.
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!
