Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 vs Counter-Strike
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the Second in the more modern series and features some of the characters you know and fought with in events following the first game. Here you will be fighting in 2016 with all the modern weapons and equipment that it brings.There are 3 game modes to this version, you have the single player Campaign, Spec Ops and Multiplayer. The campaign has a series of missions each with their own unique setting and objectives that fall into a larger story. The Spec Ops are special small missions you can do solo or in co op and have timed or targeted objectives. There is also the much loved multiplayer side to the game too where once more your killstreak and experience can work in your favor with unlocks and special equipment. This is a much praised sequel in the series and it has a huge replay factor built in and is a lot of fun when you get into it.
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nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.
