Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare vs Counter-Strike
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare takes a different path to the previous games and heads into the realm of, as you would guess the modern world and war zones around the globe within that setting.With a really great campaign to get you going this game features a lot of characters for you to meet, fight with or just take control of. There are a lot of different locations and the game has been critically praised for the campaign and story in particular. It also helps that there are some very recognizable voices here too. The multiplayer version of the game also has a ton of amazing features, and a range of experience levels that you can earn for extra gear and prestige. There are also a lot of different specialist objectives brought into the multiplayer that mean each game is both thrilling and different whenever you play.
Counter-Strike
Counter-Strike is one of the the pioneers of the team-based multiplayer, action-shooter game genre and it is thanks to these games that we now have games like Combat Arms or even Blacklight. That said, you probably have heard of Counter-Strike so I'll keep this simple. The game places you into a team - either as Terrorists or Counter-Terrorists - before the match and your team will be given an objective to do, be it taking out enemy sites, rescue hostages or simply taking out the other team. For the "vanilla" version of Counter-Strike, the multiplayer community is pretty nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game. So, unless you are feeling nostalgic or if you don't really mind old graphics, then Counter-Strike might just be the game for you.
