There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 479 Can this still happen?

   "..."

  Frank felt a little relieved when he heard Hawkins say, "Modern themes are just leftovers from my side."

  Finally, I stopped watching the "Call of Duty" promotional video repeatedly.

  Because he thought Hawkins had a point.

   It's not that they haven't done the theme of modern warfare, they have really done it.

   It can even be said that I understand it very well.

   And he was familiar with the theme of modern warfare, but he really couldn't fight the battlefield last year.

but.

  Frank always felt that...something was overlooked by him.

  Although he was slightly relieved, he was still uneasy.

  But for a while, he couldn't remember what he had overlooked...

  …

  If Lin Yao could hear Hawkins' words.

  It is estimated that they will also agree...

  In fact, whether it is the theme of modern warfare or the theme of world war.

   At this time.

  Basically, they are leftovers from previous games.

   Although the theme of World War I in "Battlefield" looks very novel, in the final analysis, it has been modified by magic.

  The game directly pushes the timeline to the end of World War I.

  The overall production idea of ​​the game is also closer to making games with World War II themes.

  No way, if we really want to do it according to World War I, the original World War I, it is estimated that players will be very crazy.

  Don't say it's cool to shoot.

  Whether players can accept it or not is a question.

   As for modern themes, where is the current ceiling of military technology.

  As for rescue, beheading, capture, destruction, and landing.

   All games have been done.

   Compared with the theme of world wars, modern warfare is more fresh cross-space firepower, and it is the first thing that many modern theme FPS want to present to players...

   Now, if you are doing modern themes, as long as you don’t break through the ceiling of the current military technology and rush out of the earth with your imagination, what you are doing is indeed the leftovers of other people’s games.

   After all, the basic routines of modern warfare have not changed much compared to World War II.

   It's just the emergence of new weapons that have changed the specific implementation process of certain routines.

but.

  Themes and elements have been done by others, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t really make new ideas...

   Again, speaking of similarities, it is estimated that all games are similar to those types of ancestors.

  Lin Yao’s Galaxy Castlevania in her previous life was very dazzling, but that doesn’t mean that the follow-up Galaxy Castlevania-like games will bear the evaluation of ‘it’s all left over from other people’s games’.

  John Carmack also said that FPS does not need a plot, just like that.

  But then "Half-Life" was born, and the final results were seen by players.

  The game concept of the entire game industry is constantly iterating.

  As for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", in Lin Yao's view, in this world, there may not be many elements that make people wonder what kind of black technology this is.

   But the ultimate scripted linear mode, multi-line parallelism, and the rendering of the atmosphere of the combat part.

   are all things that the modern theme FPS here failed to present.

   Or there is a presentation.

   But far from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

  So, although most of the elements of the theme are left over from other people's play.

  But Lin Yao is still confident.

   Moreover, although many players feel that because of "Battlefield", European and American players will choose the latest works of "Battlefield Smoke" and "Mobile Force".

   But the pre-sale data of "Call of Duty" is also not bad.

   After all, "Battlefield" was made by Linmu Studio!

  Although players are dissatisfied with the lack of a sequel to Battlefield, they don’t want a substitute. There are many players who believe that Linmu Studio will bring them a different modern warfare experience.

  …

  December 22nd.

   I don't know if it was intentional.

  In the past, Linmu Studio used to unlock the game according to its own domestic time.

   This time the release of "Call of Duty", but did not do so.

   Instead, at the same time, it will be unlocked together with the latest works of "Smoke of the Battlefield" and "Mobile Force".

  6:00 p.m. EST.

  Three games are unlocked together!

   This made the players quite speechless.

  Even players who bought all three games were speechless.

   Which one should I play...

   For example, Mark encountered such a problem.

   "shit, did these three companies do it on purpose?"

  Mark sat on the spacious sofa in his home, and after taking a sip of beer, he complained: "How can a game be released like this!"

   "After all, both sides have confidence and feel that they can suppress each other's games, and then attract users for their own platforms. At this time, of course they will compete."

  Sibulon sat next to Marco, whistled happily, and continued: "And this is a good thing, there will be no shortage of games to play in the next period of time."

   "But it's still about my job! I'm still a game editor!"

Mark dissatisfied: "I still have to write reviews for these games! Damn! Three games are released at the same time! My boss also said that in order to evaluate diversity, we all need to write reviews, and now I have to make it before Christmas." Get the manuscript out, or my Christmas vacation will be in vain!"

"Ha ha."

  Sibulon laughed immediately when he heard the words, a little gloating.

  The three games are released together. For gamers, although it will be tangled, it is indeed a good thing.

   But for Mark, who is engaged in related industries and also reviews games, it is really not a good thing.

  After all, once they play games instead of work, the fun will be greatly reduced.

   "Don't just laugh at me, think of a way!"

  Mark heard the laughter, and immediately kicked his friend next to him: "If my Christmas vacation is in vain, our happy holiday plan will also be in vain!"

   "Okay, this way, you choose a game that you are least interested in, and I will help you play it."

Hearing what his friend said, Sibulon finally put away his gloating smile and gave a solution: "I will also help you write out the evaluation at that time, and you can submit it after a little polishing. Anyway, your boss asked you to submit it. Evaluation, you are not the only one, just fool around a bit."

   "..."

  Mark's eyes lit up immediately after hearing what his friend said.

   That's a really good idea!

   Anyway, he is not the only editor.

   "You owe me dinner."

  Seeing his friend's face, Sibron took a sip of beer and continued: "Tell me, which game do you want to review the last, I'll play it."

   "..."

  Marco lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Call of Duty."

   "Oh, why? You gave a high rating to the work of Linmu Studio last year." Sibulon was a little curious.

  “I gave it a high rating last year because I was fed up with modern warfare FPS, that **** personal heroism!”

Marco shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "That's war! It's not a play, every time it's an old-fashioned way to save the world, it's not interesting at all. But "Battlefield" feels great! That's the real war. The battlefields and soldiers! I can’t even figure out why Linmu Studio stopped doing world war themes this year and turned to modern warfare.

  Anyway, I really can't accept this theme anymore, I still like the atmosphere of World War.

  I want to play the new works of "Smoke of Battlefield" and "Mobile Force" even more. "

"Fine."

  Sibulon nodded when he heard what his friend said.

Then he looked down at the time and stood up: "The game will be unlocked soon, let's go, I am quite interested in the modern FPS made by Linmu Studio... I have a strong hunch that they might do it Different!"

   "..."

  Mark shrugged when he heard the words, noncommittal.

   He didn't feel that way anyway.

  He just thinks that the theme of modern warfare is like that.

   He has had enough!

  …

  Five fifty in the afternoon.

  The two came to the 'Fat House Happy House'.

   This is a room the two of them have built specifically for gaming weekends.

   Costly.

   But the two have spent countless happy weekends here.

   Value for money.

   "I have to say, the download speed of the Vaporwave game platform is still fast."

  Sibulon connected the handle, then glanced at the preloaded games on the Vaporwave game platform, and sighed.

  Mark looked at his screen while connecting the controller, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Indeed, I can't figure it out. Gameplayer's headquarters is in North America, but the download speed is not as good as that of a game company headquartered in the East. It's simply unbelievable!"

   "After all, when Linmu Studio delivered the game to Gameplayer, it said that it would use all the money to optimize the network and community environment..."

  Siblon shrugged: "Gameplayer has just started, and the follow-up will be better."

"hope so."

  Marco shook his head, held the handle and sat back on the chair, ready for the game to start.

soon.

  It's six o'clock in the afternoon.

   Game Unlocked.

  But it’s a bit embarrassing that Gameplayer’s new game was almost downloaded...

  Mark cursed again.

   But he really has no choice but to wait patiently and watch West Brom play by the way.

   On the other side, Sibron has opened the latest FPS of Forest Wood Studio-"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

   Countless players opened the game at the same time.

   Game start configuration.

   followed by a black screen.

   lights up.

The    screen appears.

  Sibulon held the handle and looked at the start menu, feeling nothing.

   After all, this time Linmu Studio didn’t have the same work as "The Witch".

   Overall, it's quite ordinary.

  He just glanced at the game mode and chose the campaign.

  “They say it’s a different version of Modern Warfare, what do you think is the difference?”

the other side.

  Marco saw that his game was almost finished, so he chatted.

   "Who knows, you will know after playing."

  Sibulon responded casually, and then officially started the game.

Games start.

  The satellite picture appears on the screen.

   The cursor moves on the world map.

  Conversation started.

  【Garth: I have good news, the world is safe and sound】

  【Gass: A civil war broke out in Russia, government forces and extreme nationalists exchanged fire, and 15,000 missiles were at stake】

  【Captain Price: It’s just a regular meal】

  【Garth: Khaled Assad, currently the second most powerful person in the Middle East, it is rumored that he is the guy with the most oil in the area, intelligence units are watching him closely】

  【Captain Price: The bad news? 】

  【Garth: Today there is a rookie who has just been selected from the draft to join us. His name is Thorpe. 】

  The game started as an American joke...

   And with the background of the conversation between the two.

  Different screens also jumped out.

  For example, the picture of the civil war, the photo of Khaled Assad.

   This seems to be the background of the whole story.

  The rookie mentioned later is probably a player.

   Sure enough.

   As Siblon expected.

  The screen changes.

  A shooting range.

  In the lower right corner of the game screen, a line of words jumped out.

  【recruit report

  Day 1 - 06:30:14

  Credenhill, United Kingdom

  Sergeant 'Thorpe' MacTavish]

   And Garth, who just talked to Price at the beginning, stood in the center of the game screen and asked Thorpe, the character played by the player, to get a rifle.

   This is a tutorial level.

  Sibulon held the handle and walked through the tutorial.

  Mediocre.

  Basically, it is a common operation of FPS, and there is not much highlight.

   And after the teaching is over.

  Sibron followed the guidance and met his immediate superior—the bearded Price and his teammates.

   And the name of this special force was also announced.

  SAS, British Special Air Service Regiment.

   "This is the new rookie, sir, don't be too strict with him, this is his first day in the army."

   "Okay... but what the **** is 'Thorpe' called? How could a fool like you pass the draft?"

   And Thorpe, the character played by Sibron, was ridiculed as soon as he saw his teammates.

   Just like real recruits.

   This feeling is quite special.

  Siblon smiled when he saw the dialogue, because most of the modern warfare-themed FPS will make the player appear very important, and many games will even remind the player over and over again that you are the best!

  This kind of modern-themed FPS that treats players as recruits is really a special experience.

   And next.

   It is still a teaching.

  CQB test.

   Simply put, it is to allow players to conduct actual combat exercises before the game starts.

   During this CQB test, West Brom felt that the atmosphere was not bad.

  When the player was conducting the CQB test, Price's roaring command voice was still in his ears.

  The sense of urgency came out all at once.

   It feels like a real CQB test.

   And West Brom. Passed the CQB test in more than 30 seconds.

  The game immediately recommended a difficulty to him.

I see.

   This is also testing the player's FPS experience.

  Sibulon saw the difficulty selection page, chose the difficulty recommended by the system, and nodded.

   I am quite satisfied with such small details.

   And the other side.

  Marco's game is finally ready.

  He stopped watching West Brom play and turned to play his own game.

   And Sibulon also started the prologue of the game.

   Freighter missions.

  An informant gave the news that a certain package was on a medium-sized freighter.

   There are several crew members and a security team on board.

   And they have to get on the ship to retrieve the package.

   As for the people on board.

  Engagement rules...not one left.

  …

  Game prologue.

   Torrential rain poured down.

  The sea is rough.

   Helicopter.

  Thorpe, played by Sibron, is sitting opposite Price and is rushing to the mission objective.

  Plance was smoking a cigar. In addition to the sound of the rainstorm in the background, there was the sound of notifications from logistics support personnel.

   It is estimated that there are still 60 seconds to arrive at the target location.

   And just when the freighter was looming.

  Price dropped his cigar and pulled off his mask.

  Thorpe, played by Sibron, also pulled down his mask, covering his face, and loaded his gun.

  Lighting, shadows, actions, and lines, in line with the environment where the rain is pouring down.

  The atmosphere suddenly rose.

  The helicopter came over the freighter, and the soldiers began to land.

   Then let Sibulon be a little surprised.

  He dropped the scene he saw at first glance, the layout was very similar to the CBQ just carried out.

   Only this time, the enemies inside were replaced by real people.

  Through the glass, Sibulon saw three enemies in the cockpit of the cargo ship. Almost instinctively, according to the CBQ test, he directly raised his gun and shot them without hesitation.

  【Bridge Deck Safety】

   Accompanied by the conversation of teammates.

  Sibulon began to change magazines.

  And several teammates came to the entrance of the cabin, one twisted the valve to open the door, and the other stood behind guard.

   Then after turning on the valve, another guard team member took a step forward and kicked the door open.

   Two people took their guns and rushed in.

   And Thorpe, played by Sibron, also followed at the end.

  Although I know that my teammates are AI, but Sibron feels that their movements are really smooth and natural...

   This gave Sibulon the feeling that they were really cooperating in combat.

and.

   There is no extra background music in the game.

   As long as teammates keep talking.

  What follow me, stairs safety, left clearance...

  The frequent occurrence of these words further enhances this feeling.

   And this mission, no one is left, it is true that no one is left.

  Sibulon can also kill enemies in their sleep.

  After it's over, other team members will wish each other sweet dreams...

   And clean up the cabin.

   A group of people came out again.

  The waves beat on the deck.

  The two sides began to exchange fire between the container and the enemy at the stern.

   And when facing the enemy at a high place.

   It was found that the ground could not be solved.

  Price decisively called for helicopter support, and let the helicopter start shooting directly at the second floor...

   Just like performing real special missions.

   This made Sibron, who played "Call of Duty" for the first time, subconsciously follow behind his teammates.

   And this also allows him to clearly see the actions of his teammates.

  They took every step of the way, relying on the cover to advance, and their movements were smooth, natural and real.

  This further deepens the sense of substitution.

soon.

  Sibulon sank in.

in the game.

  He followed his teammates to advance to the stern step by step, and dealt with one enemy after another.

Then.

   Successfully found the package mentioned in the task.

   But when the package is found, ready to ship.

  The logistics support personnel in charge of contact said that two unidentified planes were speeding towards the cargo ship, and asked them to take what they could, and leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

   At this time, the game also became urgent.

  Team members begin to evacuate.

  During the period, Price asked the helicopter pilot outside about the current situation.

  The radio produced noise due to high radiation, and the pilot of the helicopter urgently said that an enemy plane had appeared and told them to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

   And the voice just fell.

  A missile flew directly into the hull.

  The aftermath of the explosion knocked all the team members to the ground.

   And Sibulon's perspective also turned blood red.

  The ship is sinking!

  The other team members struggled to get up and shouted.

   Then Price pulled up Sibron's character and also yelled to leave.

   and escape, the sense of urgency.

   It almost overflowed the screen...

  Price kept urging and roaring.

  The cargo ship is falling apart, and things keep falling.

  The sea water is pouring in.

   And the helicopter pilot is asking urgently where they are.

  The scripted acting here... is absolutely amazing!

  Anyway, Sibron became nervous in an instant.

  The joystick of the handle must be inferred.

   And a group of people circled around.

   Finally came outside the cabin, saw the helicopter, and jumped on it.

  Thorpe, played by Sibron, was the last one.

  Originally, when he saw the helicopter, he just pressed jump and felt at ease.

  Unexpectedly...the game still has a performance.

  Thorpe didn't jump on it, but just grabbed the plane with both hands, and he was about to fall.

  Captain Price immediately dropped his gun and grabbed his hand.

【caught you】

  While Sibron's blood pressure rose, after seeing himself being pulled onto the plane, it also slowly dropped.

  Although he subconsciously knew that it was impossible for him, the protagonist, to drown in the sea.

   But the game's scripted acting... is really good.

   Subconsciously feel that it is not used at all...

   Should be nervous, still nervous.

   He was relieved when he finally got on the plane.

  The prologue also ushered in the end in the scene of the cargo ship slowly sinking into the bottom of the sea.

   "As expected of Linmu Studio, even if the Modern Warfare done badly by Gilber Company and Dreamland, it can make a different feeling."

  Sibulon put down the handle and gently wiped the sweat from his palms.

   Then he held the handle again and said something with emotion.

really.

  The scripted performances are fantastic! There is also the creation of atmosphere!

   And just then, with reassurance and music.

   Game name.

   Appeared on the screen for the first time - "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

  Sibulon smiled, then adjusted his posture.

   My expectations for the game are a bit high.

  He can't wait to see what kind of exciting scenes he will experience as Thorpe next.

   And the prologue of the second act will come soon.

  The screen goes blank.

   then becomes clear.

  The environment has also changed drastically.

   Appears to be somewhere in the Middle East.

  Several soldiers are on guard.

  Sibulon took a look at the viewing angle and found that he could not run around, but could only move his sight left and right.

   I am wondering.

  He was pushed into the back seat of the car.

   Only then did he realize that his hands were tied and he was pushed over by soldiers.

  The other party pushed him into the back seat and gave him a gun butt...

   "what?"

  Sibulon showed a puzzled look. He was still in the freighter war just now. Why did he suddenly become a prisoner?

   And the game ignored his doubts.

   Continue to advance.

  The car starts and starts to drive forward.

   And outside the car window, the city is full of devastation.

  There was a voice on the radio that kept repeating about revolution and independence.

   This performance is very long.

   But Sibulon can't do anything, only move the camera.

   Witnessing the chaos of the city...

  Ordinary citizens were shot and even executed in public.

   After a long time.

finally.

  The destination is here.

   And he was lifted out like a dog, and the soldier gave him a kick.

   "Isn't this going to be the lone hero again?"

   Just when Sibulon thought he was going to stage some kind of alone combat scene later.

   Because of being kicked.

  His first-person perspective becomes blurred.

  He was taken to a spacious square and tied to a pillar.

  The man who appeared at the beginning of the game, the second most powerful man in the Middle East, Khalid Assad took the gun and came to Sibulon.

   Next.

  He raises the gun.

   Aim at his head.

boom.

   He shot without hesitation.

   There are no lonely heroes.

  He was shot straight away.

  The screen goes black.

  Siblon: "…"

   Next.

  The satellite picture appears on the screen again.

  A video also appeared on the screen, which was the scene of the execution just now.

  【Garth: Captain Price, Assad just executed President Afrani on national television】

   "...what!!?"

  Sibulon made a doubtful voice again.

  Emotion just played the role of the executed president?

   Can still play like this! ?

   Lieutenant Price's name is wrong in the first few sheets, sorry...

   Actually, I read the chapters of the past few days and found a lot of problems... ah...

  (end of this chapter)
