Combat Arms: Reloaded vs Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Combat Arms: Reloaded
Combat Arms: Reloaded is the rebooted version of a popular free-to-play MMOFPS, Combat Arms. This version is basically the same as the original in many ways - it has the same albeit slightly smoother gameplay, a host of more than 600 guns for you to purchase and use, a ton of fun, and mostly team-based, game modes, and more. The merc you play as can also be customized and there's a clan system that can help competitive hardcore players take it to the next level.Similar to its predecessor, the weapons in Combat Arms: Reloaded are not all permanent. You do get a couple of permanent ones but unless you are willing to spend some money, you'll probably be getting guns that will last a certain duration. The same goes for costumes and accessories. Besides this, players have voiced concern over the poor matchmaking, possibly due to its lower player count at the moment, and the poor anti-cheat system.
Combat Arms: Reloaded attempts to bring back its glory days as one of the more popular F2P MMOFPS games on the internet, but the game doesn't seem to have gotten with the times and updated itself sufficiently to attract newer players. It plays perfectly if you simply want a trip down memory lane, but there's honestly a lot better MMOFPS games out there that would give you better worth for your time.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a testament to how far the Counter Strike franchise had come... from its humble beginnings as a mod to now a thriving series with millions of players, a robust skins-trading market and a rather sizeable cut of the eSports pie. That said, the game offers fans and new players alike a much improved gameplay though most of the stuff in it is still pretty much the usual, familiar sort. There are tons of weapons for you to play with, as well as a ridiculously wide range of skins to make the weapons you have in your loadout to look fantastically unique.However, being a very competitive game, the amount of toxicity in this game can reach unbearable levels. Despite Valve's best efforts, brazen hackers still roamed the game and the rage... ohhh, it's real alright. To play with random players will usually mean you'll need to have a really thick skin and a zen-like focus on the game, but playing multiplayer with your friends can still be pretty fun though.
