Combat Arms: Reloaded vs Horizon Source
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.
Horizon Source
Horizon Source is a battle royale game that many have dubbed as being the ultimate blend of PUBG, Fortnite and Overwatch... though graphics-wise, Fortnite is definitely the major influence. Similar to most games in the genre, you'll be dropped into a map where you'll then battle against other players in hopes of ending up being the last man standing. You can also build structures much like in Fortnite and resources are pretty much plentiful in the game. The gameplay feels a lot better as well - expect to be rewarded with more kills for having a good aim.However, unlike the others, this game only has a 4-man team-based game mode so you can't really play the game solo as of yet. There are other game modes as well, including a zombie mode, but these aren't ready so far. Interestingly, the game also gives you the option of playing in first or third person view. Naturally, playing in third-person can be more advantageous to you since you can see your surroundings better. There are no drivable vehicles in this game though.
Despite the many random bugs, lack of an EU server, some character balancing issue, and broken English, Horizon Source seems to be a real contender on PC against established battle royale titles like PUBG and Fortnite. The game can be incredibly addictive and fun to play. So, if you enjoy playing battle royale games, Horizon Source is a game you'll want to try!
