Counter-Strike: Global Offensive vs Halo 5: Guardians
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a testament to how far the Counter Strike franchise had come... from its humble beginnings as a mod to now a thriving series with millions of players, a robust skins-trading market and a rather sizeable cut of the eSports pie. That said, the game offers fans and new players alike a much improved gameplay though most of the stuff in it is still pretty much the usual, familiar sort. There are tons of weapons for you to play with, as well as a ridiculously wide range of skins to make the weapons you have in your loadout to look fantastically unique.However, being a very competitive game, the amount of toxicity in this game can reach unbearable levels. Despite Valve's best efforts, brazen hackers still roamed the game and the rage... ohhh, it's real alright. To play with random players will usually mean you'll need to have a really thick skin and a zen-like focus on the game, but playing multiplayer with your friends can still be pretty fun though.
Halo 5: Guardians
Halo 5: Guardians is the lastest installment in the award-winning Halo game franchise. Although this game has a pretty epic co-op (up to 4-player) campaign that has a pretty awesome storyline to enjoy, Halo 5 is ultimately a paradise for players who love Halo's multiplayer mode. There are plenty more multiplayer modes for you to play in, including the new, large-scaled Warzone which can be further separated into a 24-player Warzone Assault (PvP) and a 8-player Warzone Firefight (co-op). There is also the usual Arena Multiplayer mode that pits teams of 4 players against each other.But the most interesting part of its multiplayer aspect is the REQ system which awards REQ points to players engaging in multiplayer matches. These points can then be used to unlock new weapons, armor, vehicles, stances and more!
So, if you really like Halo's multiplayer games and would like to play more of it, this game is literally designed with multiplayer as its focus. You'll find the game modes and the REQ system more than enough to keep you returning to the game.
