Half Life 2: Episode One vs Halo 5: Guardians
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 2.
Halo 5: Guardians
Halo 5: Guardians is the lastest installment in the award-winning Halo game franchise. Although this game has a pretty epic co-op (up to 4-player) campaign that has a pretty awesome storyline to enjoy, Halo 5 is ultimately a paradise for players who love Halo's multiplayer mode. There are plenty more multiplayer modes for you to play in, including the new, large-scaled Warzone which can be further separated into a 24-player Warzone Assault (PvP) and a 8-player Warzone Firefight (co-op). There is also the usual Arena Multiplayer mode that pits teams of 4 players against each other.But the most interesting part of its multiplayer aspect is the REQ system which awards REQ points to players engaging in multiplayer matches. These points can then be used to unlock new weapons, armor, vehicles, stances and more!
So, if you really like Halo's multiplayer games and would like to play more of it, this game is literally designed with multiplayer as its focus. You'll find the game modes and the REQ system more than enough to keep you returning to the game.
