Blazing Core vs Planetside 2
Blazing Core
Blazing Core is a tactical MMO third-person shooter where you get to team up with two or five other players to battle in an arena while playing as a cool-looking Mech Knight. The game is currently in beta but it already exudes its potential of becoming the next eSports game by offering an interesting combination of mechs, weapons, and abilities, a ranked competitive mode, as well as a decently designed map.Granted that the game doesn't really have a lot going for it at the moment, mainly because it's still in beta and the devs still have plenty to do to make it better, but Blazing Core does look like a MOBA that might just appeal to competitive players everywhere. The game is coming to open beta on Sept 7th so you can get a chance to try the game out yourself!
Planetside 2
Planetside 2 is a sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game that's the explosive sequel to its predecessor, Planetside, which was released back in 2003. In a way, the game is more inclined towards the extravagant and yet is still rather down-to-earth mainly because it features massive battlefields where hundreds to even thousands of players can battle it out for their faction. In fact, the game has an exciting gameplay which may bring to mind the games in the Battlefield franchise albeit the futuristic sort.Not to mention, Planetside 2 has an actual war playing out on the map where players who won a certain battlefield will essentially "claim" the land for their faction. The tug-of-war-like power struggle between factions help to bond the players in a way that resembles the deep rift between the Alliance and the Horde in World of Warcraft. The game is also developed by Daybreak Games which is in pretty good company along the likes of EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online and Lord of the Rings Online.
So, if you're looking for an epic MMOFPS game to fully immerse yourself in, then Planetside 2 is your best bet. If not, there are plenty of other casual shooters out there, but you can definitely expect that none of them can measure up to the faction-vs-faction tension, which usually erupts into another battle, offered in this game.
