Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Fixed objectives and scripted singleplayer enemies, little randomness
Unreal Tournament 2004
Spawns and item timers are knowable, little hidden
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Objective timings, class roles, and routes reward planning
Unreal Tournament 2004
Item timing, map control, and weapon economy are studied
