Ballistic Overkill vs Blazing Core
Ballistic Overkill
Ballistic Overkill is a great MMOFPS game that has a fun futuristic feel to it! If you find the name familiar, well, that's mainly because the game is based on its very popular free-to-play browser-based counterpart, Ballistic (this version was unfortunately removed in the wake of Ballistic Overkill). In this game, everything previously Ballistic was completely reworked. There are more classes you can play as in addition to the plethora of game modes and maps that you can play in. These classes have their own respective skill trees that you can add points into in order to ‘upgrade’ your character class. There is also plenty of weapons available in this game, and unlike many other shooter games, with the exception of Overwatch, this game has safe rooms with multiple exits so spawn camping isn't too much of an issue.This improved game even features much better graphics - after all, the game is no longer a brwoser game - and the same goes to its music and sound effects too. However, the game is still pretty much a casual shooter (no ranked matches yet) and the matchmaking in this game still require some changes to make matches more balanced and fair for both teams. That said, if you like short, fast-paced matches and arcade-like first-person shooting or slicing (depending on the character you choose), you should definitely try Ballistic Overkill.
Blazing Core
Blazing Core is a tactical MMO third-person shooter where you get to team up with two or five other players to battle in an arena while playing as a cool-looking Mech Knight. The game is currently in beta but it already exudes its potential of becoming the next eSports game by offering an interesting combination of mechs, weapons, and abilities, a ranked competitive mode, as well as a decently designed map.Granted that the game doesn't really have a lot going for it at the moment, mainly because it's still in beta and the devs still have plenty to do to make it better, but Blazing Core does look like a MOBA that might just appeal to competitive players everywhere. The game is coming to open beta on Sept 7th so you can get a chance to try the game out yourself!
