Blackshot Online vs Quake Live
Blackshot Online
Blackshot Online is a military-themed MMOFPS that is quite similar to popular game franchises like Counter Strike or Call of Duty. To play, players simply choose the "room" they want to play in via a lobby-based system or even create their own rooms. The gameplay, on the other hand, feels like your typical free-to-play shooter such as Crossfire and Special Forces (SF) but with superior visuals, brand-new maps, and fun game modes, some of which are team-based, to play in. There are also ton of customization options for your avatar as well as an arsenal of weapons for you to buy.Despite its age, Blackshot Online is still a pretty popular game and has a strong player base so you don't have to worry about having to wait for ages to fill up the teams in a match. It is actually the sort of game you'd go to if you long to experience the thrill of games like CoD and CS without having to buy those games.
Quake Live
Quake Live is an epic installment of the timeless classic, Quake. Returning for an encore, Quake Live aims to cater to the fans of the fast-paced arcade shooter genre by allowing them to play against other players from all over the world in any one of the game's 100 plus arenas and dozens of game modes. Not to mention, the game is often updated with new arenas from the company behind this revival of Quake as well as from its vibrant community.Quake was once the most competitive shooters in its day and it now aims to retain its title, at least in the arcade-like shooter genre, with this iteration... and we've got to say, it is doing a really great job. The game has already dive into the eSports scene with its own tournaments and it is doing really good. If you long for the good old days for frag or be fragged, this is a game you'll want to play - in addition to Quake Champions that is.
The unfortunate thing about this game is that it was previously free-to-play but now it's not. Considering that Quake Champions is already buy-to-play, it might be good to have a free-to-play version to help convert truly interested players from playing the free version to getting the paid version. It'll just allow the franchise to tap into a whole new pool of potential buyers and players after all.
