Half Life 2 vs Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction has you face the deadliest threat Team Rainbow has to deal with: a mutating, alien parasite known as the Archeaens. You’ll drop into the dangerous containment zones and deal with the extraterrestrial threat with a team of three players. Missions range from gathering samples, intelligence and extracting data from computers. They all have one thing in common, though, which is engaging hordes of the infected, as well as the aliens themselves. In typical Rainbow Six fashion, you’ll battle aliens using a massive arsenal of weapons, equipment, and other gear.Players in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction will go on incursions in sub-areas of a massive map. They’ll have to deal with enemies and objectives that are procedurally generated, meaning no mission is similar. Moreover, the Archeaen aliens have different variants, each with abilities of their own; these range from spikers that can throw spikes and rooters that are more durable than their peers. Compared to its famous counterpart, Siege, Extraction is a slower-paced game where you’ll have to deal with enemies slowly and meticulously instead of explosive firefights.
Overall, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction is a vastly different Rainbow Six experience, but nevertheless, it deserves a good, long look. So yes, it’s best to start going on incursions and stop the alien threat from reaching its peak!
