Call of Duty: Black Ops II vs Counter-Strike
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Call of Duty: Black Ops II sets you onto a path where your choices impact the rest of the game. There are 2 storylines for you to enjoy and they branch and move in the direction you choose, making your actions impactful in both scenarios.This freedom of choice means that some missions you can play and others will be missed as you move through the story arc. You can of course play again to see the other stories, and it is actually a lot of fun to do so. Join the footsteps of Alex Mason once more as he returns to the CIA when they need his help the most. As well as the duel story features you have upgrades to the multiplayer campaign, where you can make your own character and personalize it before you even step into a game. Earn scorestreaks for impressive bonuses and enjoy the gameplay loved around the world.
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nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.
