Battle Carnival vs Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
Battle Carnival
Battle Carnival is a unique MMO shooter game that attempts to combine the strategy that goes into character-switching in character-based shooters like Overwatch with the somewhat arcade-like gameplay that the fans of the age-old yet iconic franchise, Counter Strike, might be very familiar with. Featuring 7 early access characters that you can access right from the start, the game puts a lot of emphasis on the roles these characters can play and how by switching some of them up, your team may be able to counter the enemy's lineup. Of course, knowing how to aim is still a crucial skill needed in any MMO shooter.The game provides 2 game modes at the moment - Demolition and Domination. Demolition is the clear favorite since the 5-vs-5 matches there are usually pretty fast-paced - 3 mins per round and the game can be won simply by winning 5 rounds. Domination, however, is slower-paced and features the "capture and hold the area" gameplay. It's a 6-vs-6 match that can last up to 12 minutes or so. The maps are all very well-designed with multiple flanking and outflanking routes, though some may complain that the maps are confusing and "maze-like".
Battle Carnival is currently in early access and as such, the game does have plenty of problems that need to be fixed, areas that need improving and of course, more features and content that need to be released. The player population is a bit on the low end as well. Regardless, the game does seem to have a potential to fill a niche that buy-to-play shooters have hogged and with changes, it can be better. In the meantime though, you might still want to give the game a try, just so you can let the developers know about your feedback and help them turn the game into a game you'd want to stick around in.
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.
