Critical Ops: Three ways to approach the popular mobile shooter
Choose one or mix it up.
Critical Ops continues to be one of the primary shooters on mobile. With its classic first-person shooter concept blending with a more modern design, it's a highly regarded game, even with a huge hit like Call of Duty Mobile leading the charge.
If you're a fan of CODM or Counter-Strike, then Ops is certainly a worthy alternative. And as mentioned before, it continues to be one of the most recognizable games in mobile esports. Only Clash Royale, PUBG Mobile, and Brawl Stars might be bigger in the scene.
And although some aspects of the game are pretty straight forward as an FPS, there are still some ways you can approach your play style. And some of these you can apply to other games that are similar. You can play any way you like, but it can always be fun to follow a certain playstyle.
The loadout perfectionist
We know how important loadouts are to shooting games, especially FPS'. That's no different here in Critical Ops. If you're a player whose big on weapon options, then this is probably the type of player that you are. You may be suffering from "perfectionism" and should see a doctor right away (just kidding).
What's good about players like this is that it makes you more versatile. The more you get used to different loadouts, the more dangerous you could potentially become. Not saying you'll be unstoppable, but it can be useful. After all, variety is the spice of life, right, or something like that?
Testing different loadouts could help deepen your experience. Playing with different guns could help make each game feel like something totally new. If you're someone who enjoys the art of loadouts, then this most certainly may just be you.
The heavy hitter
This one applies to a lot of games and oh boy, if you love explosively unleashing your arsenal of weaponry on your foes, then this may be your style of play in Critical Ops. Dropping into a map, locking onto your targets and just dishing out mayhem (well, until you die at least).
Speaking of death, you may drop like a top more playing this way. However, you can't deny that there's a good chance to rack up the kills. At the end of each match, you will have an opportunity to win the MVP award so there's motivation.
And if your teammates are in danger, that's where you can come in and start blasting. This, especially if you're approaching enemies from a blindside. They may be too distracted by shooting at your squad and then surprise, here you come, eliminating your foes with some good shots.
The melee/stealth player
This type of play may be popular with more experienced FPS gamers. You enjoy taking your enemies by surprise in multiple ways. In particular, if you love using melee weapons, then you may appreciate this approach. Most of the maps aren't that big so it may seem tough at first.
However, the positive about being in a condensed area is that the combat is almost constant. So while the opponents are eyeing your teammates, you can come in for some stylish melee kills. Change the design of your weapon including the skin and you'll really be earning swag points.
It can be tricky to sneak up behind opponents and get those kills that way, but it can certainly be satisfying without question. If you want to get better and melee attacks, take full advantage of the practice mode that Critical Ops offers. You'll be able to get a full match in with bots and choose which difficulty you want as well so this is a great way to test out that knife of yours.
