Battlefield 4 vs Counter-Strike
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 brings large-scale multiplayer battles to a whole new level with destructible and dynamic environments that you and your team can make use of to change the lanscape of the battlefield, opening up new tactical maneuvers. You can even launch an amphibious assault, catching your enemies unawares; or simply engage in massive water-based vehicular combat. There are a whole lot more vehicles, weapons, huge maps and freedom to play as you like in this game, giving you an unrivalled, all-out war experience that frankly is the best Battlefield has offered thus far!Best yet, the game added a single player campaign for those who want to experience the fun of huge battles without having to play online. The storyline is quite touching as it details the struggles of a unit of American troops doing their best to complete their mission and work their way home.
If you love Battlefield games, well, Battlefield 4 will definitely astound you! Even for those who disliked the multiplayer-heavy gameplay in the previous Battlefield titles can agree that the single-player campaign does make up a lot for that. Though, buying this game for only its single player aspect might be a bit not worthwhile, unless you can get it at a discount.
Counter-Strike
Counter-Strike is one of the the pioneers of the team-based multiplayer, action-shooter game genre and it is thanks to these games that we now have games like Combat Arms or even Blacklight. That said, you probably have heard of Counter-Strike so I'll keep this simple. The game places you into a team - either as Terrorists or Counter-Terrorists - before the match and your team will be given an objective to do, be it taking out enemy sites, rescue hostages or simply taking out the other team. For the "vanilla" version of Counter-Strike, the multiplayer community is pretty nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game. So, unless you are feeling nostalgic or if you don't really mind old graphics, then Counter-Strike might just be the game for you.
