Battle Carnival vs Standoff 2
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.
Standoff 2
Standoff 2 is an intense yet entertaining MMOFPS game where you get to either play for the terrorists or the special forces in a team-based shootout. The game features several maps as well as 3 exciting and competitive game modes, namely "Deathmatch", "Defuse the bomb", "Arms race" and "Tournaments". As you might expect, the game also offers a ton of fancy and cool skins for your weapons and a way for you to trade them with other players. The game even has an in-depth social system that allows players to message each other, use both text and voice chat to communicate while in-game, and add other players as friends.If you have always enjoyed playing Counter-Strike or games like it, Standoff 2 is basically a really well-polished version of that exact same game which you can play on your mobile devices while you're on the go.
