Unreal Tournament vs Warmerise
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament by Epic Games is not the 1999, old-school version by the way - it is a brand-new, work-in-progress version that can support up to 4k resolution. This newer version of Unreal Tournament also added several new dodge styles to the frantic jumping and sprinting gameplay that all Unreal games are famous for. However, despite its brilliant new graphics and gameplay tweaks, the game retains the core of what made Unreal Tournament incredibly popular back in the day - all its intense fragging, maze-like maps, power-ups and most importantly, a community of friendly yet competitive players to play the game with.Although Unreal Tournament has been under development for quite some time now (since 2014), it's interesting to note that Epic Games lets players enjoy the game as it is being developed and they really take fans' feedback and suggestions into consideration. So, despite technically being an unfinished game, Unreal Tournament is already operational... meaning you can now play it... and best yet, it's free-to-play.
So, if you longed for a modernized and improved version of Unreal Tournament, this is the game to play.
Warmerise
Warmerise , a.k.a. Warmerise Red vs Blue and Warmerise Online, is a primarily team-based MMOFPS game with a nice science fiction/futuristic-themed that may remind a player of Halo. The game provides players with 2 game modes to play, namely Team Deathmatch and Elimination, both of which have a strong emphasis on teamplay. The combat itself is a bit arcade-like since jumping around actually works as a strategy to avoid getting blown to pieces. Players also have a vast arsenal of conventional and unconventional weapons to use in this game, including mines and rocket launchers, in addition to a ton of cosmetics and suit upgrades. You can even pick up the weapons of fallen enemies or allies in the field.Warmerise isn't exactly very newbie-friendly though, since you are expected to figure out most of the controls you need. Thankfully, most of the common FPS hotkeys, like R for Reload, works in this game. However, some of the aspects might need some getting used to, such as the toggle-based scope and the 3-second invulnerability during spawn, and the fact that there is no such thing as friendly fire in this game.
Being a browser-based MMOFPS, the graphics and the gameplay in Warmerise are quite impressive. However, you should know that there aren't a lot of players for you to play with if you happen to NOT be in the US, and if you do connect to the US servers from outside the US, you can definitely expect some ping/latency issues which will impact your gameplay and overall game experience.
