Planetside 2 vs Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
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.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is the highly anticipated installment to the acclaimed team-based, first-person shooter series, the Rainbow Six, which is based loosely on Tom Clancy's bestselling novels. Being an exclusively multiplayer game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege offers players the rare opportunity to engage in intense, close-quarters confrontations by either bunkering down the site (if you play as the defender) or breaching the site (if you play as the attacker). Each match is highly tactical in nature, emphasizing on clever and well-timed breaching or defending strategies as well as perfect locations to set up or use the tools at your disposal regardless of which side of the fight you may be, in addition to accurate shooting and effective teamplay.The best part in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege though is that the game allow procedural destruction and this is something every player should use, especially for the breachers, to take their enemies by surprise. Collapse entryways to block paths or break down walls and ceilings to open up new ones - do whatever it takes to ensure victory for your team.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege may not be an easy game for newcomers to get into since they will have to learn the maps via the hard way (like most MMO shooter games actually), but once you have a certain experience in the game, you'll find this game amazingly-stimulating and refreshing due to its incredibly tactical teamplay.
