Call of Duty: Ghosts vs Insurgency
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Call of Duty: Ghosts is set in an alternative timeline where the world is a very different place. Here you step into the shoes of Logan Walker as he joins the elite Ghosts in order to try and bring order to the chaos. This begins a story that takes you on a roller coaster adventure, and gives you plenty of action to be involved in.The campaign sticks to one main character in this expansion of the series, and gives you the chance to also play a faithful sidekick German Shepherd too, which is a fun twist from the usual gameplay. There is also a new Extinction mode that pits you and your friends against the awakened Cryptids, a fun and alternative place to enjoy shooting things in this stunning game. Once more there are improvements to the multiplayer system that will even give you the option to destroy terrain and nuke the area around you too. A stunning addition to the franchise that goes in a different direction just when it needed too.
Insurgency
Insurgency is, without a doubt, the best game to play if realism is a key criterion for you when choosing your first-person shooters. Unlike other tactical shooters, there is no cross-hairs to help you (just sights) or the bullet-soaking feature that so many games use. In fact, with a well-aimed shot, which in itself can be a pretty difficult feat at times, you can easily take down an opponent even if the fella has body armor. The realism doesn't even stop at the gameplay - the game even provides realistic gun sounds which will allow real-life gun aficionados to differentiate the different types of guns simply by listening to the fire. Your loadout can also be upgraded but each upgrade you make will have realistic effect on your weight, stamina and movement speed. So, you'll need to choose upgrades depending on which aspect you are willing to sacrifice.The game, however, is a fully multiplayer game. It features over 7 PvP multiplayer game modes as well as 5 unique co-op multiplayer modes. That said, if you fancy getting some practice before diving into some actual PvP, you can play the game with bots offline in any of the multiplayer modes you like. The game even has an in-built, squad-based 3D VOIP system that only allows for nearby players, both friendly and opposing, to hear you.
It is rare to find realistic shooters anymore nowadays, but Insurgency aims to change that. With incredible graphics and a painstakingly-detailed and realistic gameplay, it is an impressive first-person shooter.
