Battle Carnival vs Combat Arms: Reloaded
Battle Carnival
Battle Carnival is a unique MMO shooter game that attempts to combine the strategy that goes into character-switching in character-based shooters like Overwatch with the somewhat arcade-like gameplay that the fans of the age-old yet iconic franchise, Counter Strike, might be very familiar with. Featuring 7 early access characters that you can access right from the start, the game puts a lot of emphasis on the roles these characters can play and how by switching some of them up, your team may be able to counter the enemy's lineup. Of course, knowing how to aim is still a crucial skill needed in any MMO shooter.The game provides 2 game modes at the moment - Demolition and Domination. Demolition is the clear favorite since the 5-vs-5 matches there are usually pretty fast-paced - 3 mins per round and the game can be won simply by winning 5 rounds. Domination, however, is slower-paced and features the "capture and hold the area" gameplay. It's a 6-vs-6 match that can last up to 12 minutes or so. The maps are all very well-designed with multiple flanking and outflanking routes, though some may complain that the maps are confusing and "maze-like".
Battle Carnival is currently in early access and as such, the game does have plenty of problems that need to be fixed, areas that need improving and of course, more features and content that need to be released. The player population is a bit on the low end as well. Regardless, the game does seem to have a potential to fill a niche that buy-to-play shooters have hogged and with changes, it can be better. In the meantime though, you might still want to give the game a try, just so you can let the developers know about your feedback and help them turn the game into a game you'd want to stick around in.
Combat Arms: Reloaded
Combat Arms: Reloaded is the rebooted version of a popular free-to-play MMOFPS, Combat Arms. This version is basically the same as the original in many ways - it has the same albeit slightly smoother gameplay, a host of more than 600 guns for you to purchase and use, a ton of fun, and mostly team-based, game modes, and more. The merc you play as can also be customized and there's a clan system that can help competitive hardcore players take it to the next level.Similar to its predecessor, the weapons in Combat Arms: Reloaded are not all permanent. You do get a couple of permanent ones but unless you are willing to spend some money, you'll probably be getting guns that will last a certain duration. The same goes for costumes and accessories. Besides this, players have voiced concern over the poor matchmaking, possibly due to its lower player count at the moment, and the poor anti-cheat system.
Combat Arms: Reloaded attempts to bring back its glory days as one of the more popular F2P MMOFPS games on the internet, but the game doesn't seem to have gotten with the times and updated itself sufficiently to attract newer players. It plays perfectly if you simply want a trip down memory lane, but there's honestly a lot better MMOFPS games out there that would give you better worth for your time.
