Combat Arms: Reloaded vs Planetside 2
Combat Arms: Reloaded
Combat Arms: Reloaded is the rebooted version of a popular free-to-play MMOFPS, Combat Arms. This version is basically the same as the original in many ways - it has the same albeit slightly smoother gameplay, a host of more than 600 guns for you to purchase and use, a ton of fun, and mostly team-based, game modes, and more. The merc you play as can also be customized and there's a clan system that can help competitive hardcore players take it to the next level.Similar to its predecessor, the weapons in Combat Arms: Reloaded are not all permanent. You do get a couple of permanent ones but unless you are willing to spend some money, you'll probably be getting guns that will last a certain duration. The same goes for costumes and accessories. Besides this, players have voiced concern over the poor matchmaking, possibly due to its lower player count at the moment, and the poor anti-cheat system.
Combat Arms: Reloaded attempts to bring back its glory days as one of the more popular F2P MMOFPS games on the internet, but the game doesn't seem to have gotten with the times and updated itself sufficiently to attract newer players. It plays perfectly if you simply want a trip down memory lane, but there's honestly a lot better MMOFPS games out there that would give you better worth for your time.
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.
