Counter-Strike vs Tanki Online
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nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.
Tanki Online
Tanki Online is an excellent blend of intense and somewhat fast-paced, first-person shooting with some awesome-looking (in an old-school kind of way) tanks. Chasing other players across the map on your tank or ambushing them is surprisingly fun and, in spite of the multiple deaths, the game is extremely entertaining indeed! The game also offers a huge variety of maps, from the tundra to desert battles, and battle modes, both team and solo modes. Players can also customise their tanks by adding camouflage, swapping out turrets and even refitting your tank’s hull. With every increase in rank, players get to unlock new gear, tank models and additional items, like mines too.Playing on Tanki Online is certainly an addictive experience. After all, it's not often you'll get that "just one more match" feeling right after the previous match ended. This is the sort of game that will keep you coming back for more and it’s free to play!
Oh, and for players who love the shiny new Tanki X, they should really play Tanki Online and experience the game at its roots. They may grow to have an increased appreciation for the new and improved game.
