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However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game.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.CompetitiveTeam-basedMilitaryPvPeSportsFirst PersonMultiplayer
Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA game developed by Blizzard which features all the prominent heroes and villains (or in general characters) that you may be familiar with in the Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo universes. Heroes can be tailored to your playstyle through their talents and even skins. Aside from its amazing and ever-expanding list of heroes, the game also features uniquely-designed battlegrounds for you to battle in, experience-sharing (across members of the team) as well as a strong emphasis on objective-based teamplay. To sum up, if you are looking for an intense MOBA game with the likes of LoL or DotA 2 and yet is friendly enough for newcomers, Heroes of the Storm may just be the perfect game for you!
