Call of Duty: World at War vs Counter-Strike
Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty: World at War returns you back in time to WW2 and drops you into a more adult and darker themed game. Here you have all the shooting content you love with a great campaign and multiplayer set too.The campaign takes on 3 different aspects of the war, with you playing a Soviet Soldier, US Marine and British Gunner. Each of these campaigns features their storylines and you get to move around and fight in the battlefield with other characters that fight with you. In this new version of the game you also have a multiplayer co op mode where 2 people offline or 4 online can all complete the campaign missions together. The game also features 6 multiplayer games where you can earn ranking points and experience as well as take part in some of the fiercest and most loved FPS online gameplay.
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nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.
