Halo 5: Guardians vs PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
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.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a battle royale game that features a vast open world island filled with plenty of resources to scavenge. Being a battle royale game, everyone will start off on an equal playing field. Through clever scavenging and picking the correct fights will you end up with the last few survivors to battle it out for the winning spot as the map will gradually shrink, pushing survivors closer and closer together.In some way, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds reminds me of Hunger Games, albeit a much more brutal Hunger Games that you can actually play in, and I'd actually like that.
However, the game is still pretty poorly optimized long after its release as an early access game, and well, the game has drawn plenty of flak since the devs have started banning anybody who killed a streamer who cries foul due to this thing called "Stream sniping", giving rise to a pretty bad and toxic atmosphere where streamers are players whom you literally can't kill in fear of being banned for no reason other than getting the upper hand on a streamer. Worst thing is the game's not exactly a free-to-play, so if you do get banned, that's literally money down the drain.
So, even if the game is as epic a battle royale game as it is, you should keep these downsides in mind going in. Gameplay-wise, the game is amazing, but you will need to be wary of its increasingly toxic community (both players and the team managing the PR side of the game).
Its developer, BlueHole, has recently (as of March 2018) released the mobile versions of the game, PUBG Mobile. The mobile version of PUBG is available on both Android and iOS.
