Combat Arms: Reloaded vs Warmerise
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.
Warmerise
Warmerise , a.k.a. Warmerise Red vs Blue and Warmerise Online, is a primarily team-based MMOFPS game with a nice science fiction/futuristic-themed that may remind a player of Halo. The game provides players with 2 game modes to play, namely Team Deathmatch and Elimination, both of which have a strong emphasis on teamplay. The combat itself is a bit arcade-like since jumping around actually works as a strategy to avoid getting blown to pieces. Players also have a vast arsenal of conventional and unconventional weapons to use in this game, including mines and rocket launchers, in addition to a ton of cosmetics and suit upgrades. You can even pick up the weapons of fallen enemies or allies in the field.Warmerise isn't exactly very newbie-friendly though, since you are expected to figure out most of the controls you need. Thankfully, most of the common FPS hotkeys, like R for Reload, works in this game. However, some of the aspects might need some getting used to, such as the toggle-based scope and the 3-second invulnerability during spawn, and the fact that there is no such thing as friendly fire in this game.
Being a browser-based MMOFPS, the graphics and the gameplay in Warmerise are quite impressive. However, you should know that there aren't a lot of players for you to play with if you happen to NOT be in the US, and if you do connect to the US servers from outside the US, you can definitely expect some ping/latency issues which will impact your gameplay and overall game experience.
