Call of Duty: Black Ops III vs Counter-Strike
Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Call of Duty: Black Ops III follows on from the previous installment and is set in the year 2065 where the world is undergoing huge changes both physically and politically. Here you step into the enhanced shoes of Black Ops agent working for the Winslow Accord.Now with the world facing some pretty tough challenges following the third cold war and all of the climate changes, as well as advanced technology there is are now more desperate measures needed. It falls to you to step in behind enemy lines and save the day in a fun campaign. Where there are differences here is that you have both a nightmare mode and a zombie mode to play after you complete the main story. With a fun multiplayer option with a huge range of game styles and customization you have a lot to do in this great game.
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nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.
