Battlefield Hardline vs Planetside 2
Battlefield Hardline
Battlefield Hardline is rather nice spin-off from the usual massive battlefields, which happened to be the hallmark of the Battlefield game franchise. In this spin-off though, instead of playing as soldiers in a war, you'll be assuming the character of detective Nick Mendoza in the game's episodic crime drama. Being the lead detective, you'll need to manage your team of cops, gather intel, obtain warrants and take down various criminals and the organizations they are associated with.Many of the features in this game is similar to the ones you'll alrready have encountered in any of the main Battlefield games, including a large arsenal of weapons, a range of vehicles, a variety of gadgets as well as destructible environments. The game also offer four different multiplayer modes where you can play as the cops or the criminal. In a way, the game have a bit of a PayDay feel to it.
Battlefield Hardline is a quite unique spin-off of the series and it has been received pretty well by its fans. The gameplay is as fun as ever. If you like cop games, this is the game you'll want to play.
Planetside 2
Planetside 2 is a sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game that's the explosive sequel to its predecessor, Planetside, which was released back in 2003. In a way, the game is more inclined towards the extravagant and yet is still rather down-to-earth mainly because it features massive battlefields where hundreds to even thousands of players can battle it out for their faction. In fact, the game has an exciting gameplay which may bring to mind the games in the Battlefield franchise albeit the futuristic sort.Not to mention, Planetside 2 has an actual war playing out on the map where players who won a certain battlefield will essentially "claim" the land for their faction. The tug-of-war-like power struggle between factions help to bond the players in a way that resembles the deep rift between the Alliance and the Horde in World of Warcraft. The game is also developed by Daybreak Games which is in pretty good company along the likes of EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online and Lord of the Rings Online.
So, if you're looking for an epic MMOFPS game to fully immerse yourself in, then Planetside 2 is your best bet. If not, there are plenty of other casual shooters out there, but you can definitely expect that none of them can measure up to the faction-vs-faction tension, which usually erupts into another battle, offered in this game.
