✓ Both are tactical first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere

≠ Where it differs: brings strong narrative focus, ranged combat and horror setting, while skipping adventure storytelling

Wall-running and thrust jumps make it the most mobile campaign in the series, and the four-player co-op campaign is a genuine structural change. Zombies is at its most elaborate here. The story is close to incomprehensible, the campaign is the weakest part of the package, and the PC version's supply-drop economy drew heavy criticism.

✓ Same family of tactical first-person shooters: shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere

≠ Its own twist: ranged combat, online features and PvP competition, while skipping adventure storytelling

A free-to-play tactical shooter with a large weapon roster and the standard competitive mode list, deliberately close to classic Counter-Strike pacing and free to try with no catch at the door. Its problem is not the design but the state it is in: long-term players describe a shrinking population and cheating that goes unaddressed, which is fatal for a game that is only multiplayer.
