Battlefield 2 vs Combat Arms: Reloaded
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2 is one of the Battlefield classics and rightly so. The game lets you play as a soldier in one of the three major military superpowers: the United States, the Chinese or the newly-formed Middle East Coalition. Players will have access to a wide range of weaponry to do battle with as well as a variety of vehicles. Similar to the original game, the game has a large-scale multiplayer mode - the hallmark of any game from the main Battlefield series - that can accomodate up to 64 players on a single map.With more weapons and vehicles for you to play with, Battlefield 2 is a pretty nice sequel to the Battlefield franchise. However, considering that it has not yet been reworked, unlike the first Battlefield, and that currently, there is no way you can purchase the game unless you get the hard copy off eBay or a similar site, you might be better off buying any of the other Battlefield games.
Combat Arms: Reloaded
Combat Arms: Reloaded is the rebooted version of a popular free-to-play MMOFPS, Combat Arms. This version is basically the same as the original in many ways - it has the same albeit slightly smoother gameplay, a host of more than 600 guns for you to purchase and use, a ton of fun, and mostly team-based, game modes, and more. The merc you play as can also be customized and there's a clan system that can help competitive hardcore players take it to the next level.Similar to its predecessor, the weapons in Combat Arms: Reloaded are not all permanent. You do get a couple of permanent ones but unless you are willing to spend some money, you'll probably be getting guns that will last a certain duration. The same goes for costumes and accessories. Besides this, players have voiced concern over the poor matchmaking, possibly due to its lower player count at the moment, and the poor anti-cheat system.
Combat Arms: Reloaded attempts to bring back its glory days as one of the more popular F2P MMOFPS games on the internet, but the game doesn't seem to have gotten with the times and updated itself sufficiently to attract newer players. It plays perfectly if you simply want a trip down memory lane, but there's honestly a lot better MMOFPS games out there that would give you better worth for your time.
