Call of Duty: Black Ops vs Counter-Strike: Source
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Black Ops puts you in a different place to all of the other Call of Duty games. Here you are in the 1960’s cold war era and there are dark shadows moving. You step into the role of a CIA agent on the hunt for a dangerous enemy.Though the setting is different you still have all of the gameplay and features of the series that you love. There is an extensive single player campaign, that you can also complete in co op and a huge multiplayer section too. The campaign allows you to control a variety of characters in different locations all over the world and follows primarily the adventures of Alex Mason a CIA operative trying to stop a deadly plot. The multiplayer version of the game has all the experience points and game modes you love with the option to earn and spend COD points for even better gear. One of the best games in the series this departure from the norm is an experience you do not want to miss.
Counter-Strike: Source
Counter-Strike: Source is the second installment in the incredibly popular MMOFPS franchise, Counter-Strike. Despite being a rather old game, Counter-Strike: Source still manages to hold its own in this day and age, with some even claming this game is so much better than the more recent Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or CS:GO. Unlike CS:GO, this game doesn't offer buyable skins and the most important thing - the community is definitely not as toxic as those you'd find in the CS:GO servers. Although the game modes can be rather limited, you can easily find some really good new ones in modded servers.So, if you're looking for the Counter-Strike experience without all the hate that most new players will get, this might be a good game to start.
