Battle Carnival vs Red Crucible: 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.
Red Crucible: Reloaded
Red Crucible: Reloaded is an MMOFPS game that's very similar to its original game, Red Crucible: Firestorm. The game provides players with the usual FPS gameplay along with a wide arsenal of weapons to do combat with and fun game modes to play in. Players can even equip abilities like calling in airstrikes. This is important mainly because similar to Firestorm, this game allows you to put some armor around yourself by driving a tank, and obviously, bullets do little to no damage to the thick armor that tanks are famous for. More powerful explosive weapons like airstrikes and rocket launchers will be needed.Since the game requires the Unity Web Player, be sure to download that first before attempting to load the game. It may be a browser game that requires no installation, but your web browser will need to have the necessary tools for the game to run. Of course, if you can't make it work on your browser, you can always download the game via Steam instead.
Red Crucible: Reloaded is very similar to Red Crucible: Firestorm, and honestly, if you love Firestorm, you'll enjoy playing this game. However, if you have not tried either game, you should really hop into one - I'd recommend Firestorm though - and give the game a try. Its vehicular warfare does make all the difference if you were to compare the game with other MMOFPSes!
