Planetside 2 vs PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
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.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a battle royale game that features a vast open world island filled with plenty of resources to scavenge. Being a battle royale game, everyone will start off on an equal playing field. Through clever scavenging and picking the correct fights will you end up with the last few survivors to battle it out for the winning spot as the map will gradually shrink, pushing survivors closer and closer together.In some way, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds reminds me of Hunger Games, albeit a much more brutal Hunger Games that you can actually play in, and I'd actually like that.
However, the game is still pretty poorly optimized long after its release as an early access game, and well, the game has drawn plenty of flak since the devs have started banning anybody who killed a streamer who cries foul due to this thing called "Stream sniping", giving rise to a pretty bad and toxic atmosphere where streamers are players whom you literally can't kill in fear of being banned for no reason other than getting the upper hand on a streamer. Worst thing is the game's not exactly a free-to-play, so if you do get banned, that's literally money down the drain.
So, even if the game is as epic a battle royale game as it is, you should keep these downsides in mind going in. Gameplay-wise, the game is amazing, but you will need to be wary of its increasingly toxic community (both players and the team managing the PR side of the game).
Its developer, BlueHole, has recently (as of March 2018) released the mobile versions of the game, PUBG Mobile. The mobile version of PUBG is available on both Android and iOS.
