Half Life 2: Episode Two vs Warmerise
Half Life 2: Episode Two
Half Life 2: Episode Two continues the storyline of Half Life 2: Episode One (obviously). Playing once again as Dr Gordon Freeman, you set off from City 17 with Alyx Vance in hopes of delivering crucial information to that's left of your fellow resistance scientists. However, to do so, you'll need to cross the dangerous White Forest while having Combine forces hot on your tail.Featuring new weapons, vehicles, and monstrous creatures, Half Life 2: Episode 2 is definitely able to satisfy the masses of fans who are hooked on one of the world's most popular classic game franchise. However, the game apparently ends with a cliffhanger and that Valve, much to the dismay of their fans, has no intentions of finishing the trilogy. This has sparked a rather huge outroar especially when it was leaked that the storyline for Episode 3 has already been written.
Regardless, this game is still a worthwhile purchase despite its years and the incomplete storyline.
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.
