Especially when the Free game is better developed, has better developers and a better community.

play Hunted mode in Contagion... get bored then play objective, survival, dodgeball, ect. modes in NMRIH

[kopiC]

I own both games. (Since we are in this forum, I guess everyone is already familar with NMRiH)

Currently NMRiH wins due to larger player base and more maps, BUT if Contagion becomes free and added new maps, it can seriously steal a lot of players from NMRiH.

Plus:
Overall Contagion is action filled, but with more dynamic objectives (compared to L4D).
Contagion has heavy amount of gun-fight, with lots of ammo pickup. Zombies are all runners.

Contagion maps are big. People who complain NMRiH map too short will love the bigger map.

Dead players get to comeback as zombies. This feature has most extreme feedbacks as the best and worst.
On one hand, this allow insane trolling and make game impossible to win when most players are zombies (intelligent runners who know how to dodge bullets, find cover, hide in dark, use meat shields). On another hand, zombies can help survivors by drawing away zombies from that area. This rarely happens.

Negative:
Small player base. A fatal problem for game designed with multiplayer in mind. Solo play is boring due to lack of scripted events and good AI.

Too little maps. You get bored really fast, keep playing city, police station, suburb map over and over.

wow , described perfectly

I'm defnitely curious how much larger the maps can be once more Source 2 Engine tools come out. I'm not stating by any means that we are going to persue moving everything over to source 2, but If it naturally adapts source engine content to a smooth transition to Source 2, who knows how much more leway we can get to make some seriously huge environments.

Even with current Source 8k object limit, designers can still make big maps with less details. Current generation game engine, designer can easily make 4x4km level. I am certainly looking forward to Source 2, seeing how amazing Source Engine is.

Big maps benefit exploration, persistence world game, as there seems to be endless places to go and explore. (MMOs, DayZ, Minecraft anyone?)

Small maps are less network resource hog. More low end computer can play, resulting in larger player base. Gameplay experience is not necessary compromised, if map is pack full of events and interactions. (CounterStrike, PayDay2)
