Tom Clancy's The Division vs Urban Dead
Tom Clancy's The Division
Tom Clancy's The Division is an excitingly new franchise developed from the Tom Clancy name. Unlike the Ghost Recon series, this game features you as a special operative that has been deployed to a devastated New York City after a pandemic swept across the city and many others during Black Friday. As expected of any post-apocalyptic event, the less civic-minded people have emerged, such as the Rikers and the Cleaners, and they intend to take control of New York by instilling terror on any survivors they met (or sometimes actively sniff out). It is these poor survivors you'll be standing up for and protecting as you carry out your mission to hopefully clear out the enemies and bring some form of security back into the city.Featuring a tactical cover-based gameplay that Ghost Recon is famous for, The Division provides a game environment where the time of day or the weather can be used to your advantage when planning an assault. There is also the Dark Zone in the middle of Manhattan where you can work cooperatively with a team of players to scavenge for valuable loot left behind by the evacuated military or turn bandit and attack other players to steal their hard-earned loot. It's completely your choice! Being part of a triple-A franchise, the game is also expectedly excellent in terms of graphics and effects.
Tom Clancy's The Division is the MMO that many fans have been clamoring for. With tons of customization options, most of which are cosmetic in nature, for your character and a wide variety of weaponry, there are plenty of content to keep you engaged in this game, making its cost very much worth it especially if you'll be playing the game with friends.
Urban Dead
Urban Dead is a mainly text-based MMO game set in a post-apocalyptic city that you can play straight from your browser. Assume the role as an urban survivor trapped in a quarantined city just trying to get by. However, unlike most games, Urban Dead is an MMO and as such, you'll encounter other players as you wander from place to place hoping to scavenge something - anything - that might help you. These players can be friendly or hostile (though, it's more often the case the latter).You can even set up a center of operations, so to speak, by clearing a place out and lock the place down. Other players might try to break into your base though, so it might be best to recruit a few trustworthy players to help you maintain your base and keep it as well as everything you hoard in it safe from any looters. Of course, there are also zombies that will attack your base and you, if you are unlucky enough to bump into one or an entire horde.
Urban Dead is a quite different text-based game admittedly, but it is still very addictive to play. It might be best to play with friends though due to how its base building feature is structured and well, there is always safety in numbers.
