Argo
Argo is hardcore tactical MMOFPS that is, according its developers, a free total conversion of the popular Arma game franchise, specifically Arma 3. Although the franchise itself as not reached mainstream popularity like Counter-Strike, Battlefield, and Call of Duty, it has a niche and dedicated fanbase that you'll probably see a lot of while playing this game.Featuring a three competitive game modes and one 10-vs-AI cooperative mode, the game is set in the Mediterranean island of Malden that houses a range of combat zones perfectly designed to fit each mode. The game even has a built-in 3D scenario editor that allows you to create your own missions and other content for Argo players to enjoy!
If you love military-themed shooters, Argo is a pretty solid game to play. After all, you'll get to experience a bit of the famous "Arma gameplay" for free.
Battlefield 3
Battlefield 3 is the sequel where EA games truly opt to focus on enhancing its multiplayer gameplay rather than trying to go the route of Counter Strike or Call of Duty. Here, you have complete and total freedom to fight the way you like. There are nine massive multiplayer maps of varying terrains for you to battle in, a wide variety of vehicles, weapons and gadgets to improve you combat capability, as well as a ton of unlockables.The most interesting part of this installment though is that there are now four unique player classes, namely Assault, Engineer, Support and Recon. Each of these classes have their own roles to play in the team and only by working together will the team be able to achieve victory.
Due to the classes, Battlefield 3 may feel a bit restricted to some players, but in a way, it's good because at least players will know which role they need to play as opposed to trying to do everything at once. It's a nice change and if you think so as well, you might want to give the game a try.
