There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 559 What the hell are they doing?
"That's an exaggeration..."

11 points.

Internet cafe.

Hanke looked at the sales data released by Forest Studio and was amazed.

Tell the truth.

Even in the eyes of old players and fanatical fans like him, this is an exaggerated number...

Although the sales volume of the previous work of "Call of Duty" was also high, it was the first FPS game whose sales volume exceeded [-] million.

But that is the total sales of the game for a year after all.

But now.

Even before the game is unlocked, nearly two-thirds of the sales of the previous game have been sold...

This is not counting the increased sales brought about by subsequent game unlocks.

If the quality of this work is excellent, as good as the previous one, the increase in sales after fermentation will be even more terrifying.

And very likely.

It will make the "Call of Duty" series, which only launched two games, directly surpass the "Smoke of the Battlefield" series of Fantasyland and the "Mobile Force" series of Gilber Company, and become one of the best-selling and most profitable game series!

Ok……

of course.

Except for this possibility.

It is also possible that after the game is unlocked, the quality is unsatisfactory, which in turn leads to a subsequent collapse of word-of-mouth, unsatisfactory growth in sales, and then the entire series collapses...

After all, the game has not been unlocked yet, so no one can say what the quality will be...

But this possibility, Hank thinks is very small.

Hanke has confidence in the company Forest Studios, and he also has confidence in this sequel!
And he felt that, with such an excellent previous game as a base, no matter how messy the sequel is, it shouldn't be too bad.

In addition, the sequel still has such terrifying pre-sale sales data, which is already formed, and it will not collapse anyway.

At most, it's just leaving a name on the pillar of shame, and earning money is definitely still earning...

"We have a share of the sales here."

At this time.

David, who was sitting next to Hank, glanced at his screen and joked, "If it's not fun, I'll refund it immediately and let them reduce a sale."

"Ah."

Hank smiled, and replied, "I'll give them a cut at that time, too."

After finishing speaking, he turned off the social media webpage, turned to open the Vaporwave game platform, and stared at the 'Start Playing' button.

There are 5 minutes left and it will be 12 noon.

The game is now unlocked!

Hank gears up.

When the time jumps to twelve o'clock in the lower right corner of the computer.

Ding.

Hank seems to have heard a wonderful reminder...

He immediately held the mouse, and then stared at the store page of the Vaporwave game platform, the moment the button lit up.

Press it immediately.

The familiar configuration interface pops up.

Then the screen goes black for a short while, and the game start screen appears.

the center of the screen.

A heavily armed soldier poses with a gun in his hand.

And behind him was the flame of an explosion.

In the middle, the title of the game slowly emerges—"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".

"..."

Although this picture, Hanke had seen it before at the Xinyou meeting.

But see you again.

He still couldn't help but his heart beat faster, feeling excited.

finally come!

Hank barely suppressed his excitement, quickly put on the earphones hanging around his neck, adjusted his sitting posture, and officially started the game!
The goods are inspected The goods are inspected!

It's time to see the quality of this game whose pre-sale sales are about to exceed 900 million!

While thinking wildly, Hank pressed the button to start.

Enter the main interface.

He didn't look at anything, just started a new game and entered the campaign mode.

The title fades away slowly.

Then, seamlessly switched to the game page.

Green 'Modern Warfare 2 (Modern Warfare)' jumps out.

Hank looked at the screen, inexplicably feeling a little old.

Although the previous work was only released last year...

Why is this happening?

Hank thought about it for a while and knew why.

Because it took a few minutes at the beginning of the game to review the plot of the previous game.

Various scenes from the previous work flashed one by one... Soap joined the Special Air Service Regiment SAS, Price performed the mission, the missile platform fired missiles, the nuclear explosion, and finally Soap witnessed the killing of teammates one by one on the collapsed bridge...

All kinds of familiar pictures.

with familiar music.

all of a sudden.

Just brings Hankla back to last year.

It feels like it's coming out right away!

And the game is also when the player just recalls the game plot of last year.

Seamlessly switched to the second generation game.

The familiar satellite bird's-eye view cutscene appears.

In the previous generation, the voice of General Sheffield, whose 3 men were all vaporized by a nuclear bomb, sounded.

At the same time, officially kicked off the prelude to this work!

【No matter how fast the appearance changes, the essence of affairs is eternal. 】

[The rules have changed, the players have changed.But power will eventually fall into the hands of someone. 】

A familiar voice rang out.

While implying that after the death of the BOSS of the last game, new enemies came out to make trouble again.

One side shows.

This thing is the orthodox sequel!It tells a brand new story after the timeline of the first game!
These two tricks come down.

Players who have played the previous game really can't stand it.

The game screen has not appeared yet.

Hank couldn't help leaning forward slightly.

And on the screen.

The USA Ranger logo appears.

Sheffield continued in his distinctive voice, "Sergeant Ford, you know what I'm looking for. Keep your eyes open."

"Lieutenant General, a group of recruits are going to the training ground today, and I will pick the best ones for you"

Sergeant Ford's voice emerges.

At the same time, the satellite map was fixed on a fictional Middle Eastern country.

The green word in the lower left corner jumps out.

Give information such as time, person and location.

Just like the previous generation.

【'daily work'】

[First day, 15:30:31]

【Lieutenant First Class Joseph Allen】

[75th Ranger Regiment, 1st Battalion]

【'Phoenix' firepower base】

Jump out with subtitles.

A temporary military base appeared on the screen, and several soldiers stood not far away.

And a black sergeant standing by the table, teaching the soldiers how to shoot, is Sergeant Ford in the cutscene.

It's exactly the same as the new tour meeting.

But in the official game, the transition of the game is smoother and more natural.

Hank watched it live.

Of course, I also know the flow of this part of the game content.

but.

He wasn't bored.

Because watching the live broadcast and playing it yourself are two different things.

While holding the mouse, although you can't feel the recoil.

But FPS does have such a thing as shooting feel.

And Hanke attaches great importance to the shooting game experience of this game, of course he wants to experience a wave while the game is starting.

According to the teaching, Hank played the role of Private First Class Joseph Allen and shot the target for a while.

Then, he directly showed a surprised expression, not daring to say: "This game has evolved compared to the previous one, and it feels better!?"

No wonder he was surprised.

This is really rare.

Compared with the previous work, the new work not only improves the shooting feel, but also clearly perceives...

And this, in fact, benefited from the production team headed by Zhong Xiu, who was really hardworking in this regard.

Lin Yao also said it during the live broadcast before.

They even made a 1:1 gun model internally for the game, but what they didn't tell the audience was that they actually went to a regular shooting gallery to try out real guns for the game...

With the accumulation of experience from the previous work and the preparation for this work, the feel will of course be much better.

And the improvement in this aspect is actually a very good selling point for some players.

Like Hank.

He was very pleasantly surprised!After teaching, he went to the training ground and went through the CQB training again.

Then, he finally confirmed it.

This one.

The shooting feel has really evolved in an all-round way.

"interesting."

After Hank completed the training, he chose the 'proficient' difficulty recommended by the system, and became more interested in the next game.

The shooting feel has been greatly improved.

Then, let's see what kind of story this game will tell.

With this idea.

Hank began to control the character to walk forward according to the prompts, and got into the car.

The plot has officially begun.

The plot is simple.

A squad is trapped in the battle zone across the river and has lost contact.

The bridge was also bombed.

The soldier played by Hank needs to go to the war zone to support...

……

【'teamwork'】

[First day, 16:08:36]

【Lieutenant First Class Joseph Allen】

[75th Ranger Regiment, 1st Battalion]

【Battle Zone】

The green word in the lower left corner jumps out.

The perspective of the co-pilot appears.

Cannons roared all around.

The city that was ravaged by artillery fire in the distance appeared on the screen through the windshield of the car.

Then suddenly.

"RPG!!!"

With the shout of his teammates.

A PRG dragged the flames, flew towards the car, and then hit and exploded, directly overturning the car to the ground!
At the same time, it also shocked the first class soldier Joseph Allen played by Hank.

No time to react at all.

From the very beginning, the sense of battlefield is full!

"Damn it... you're back! You're back!"

When Hank saw this scene, his face was full of red. He was very satisfied when the official plot of the game started, and he came back after talking...

in game.

As the car rolls over.

The screen also dimmed.

After a few seconds.

As if a person is awake.

The blurry picture lit up, and the roar that seemed strange because of the tinnitus sounded at the same time.

Private First Class Joseph Allen, played by Hank, groans and tries to get up.

As he struggles.

The line of sight gradually became clear.

A familiar figure appeared on the screen.

It is the general Sheffield in the previous game.

He reloaded his revolver, then looked at Lieutenant Allen who fell on the ground, and shouted: "Stand up! Lieutenant Allen! Rangers are the vanguard! Quick!"

As he spoke, he pulled the corporal played by Hank up.

His gaze suddenly moved forward.

It's like a person is pulled up and staggers forward.

The screen becomes normal.

then.

Click.

Accompanied by the sound of the bolt bolt.

The control of the characters came to Hank.

Private First Class Allen also came to his friend.

Teammates are hiding behind the bunker and shooting towards the opposite side, and another teammate is carrying the RPG.

And across the river.

The enemy army is hiding behind the bunker and is exchanging fire with this side.

The artillery roared.

Bullets flew from both sides.

And behind the enemy is a city that has been devastated by the flames of war...

Hank's adrenaline soared instantly when he saw the sound and picture that directly filled the atmosphere.

He manipulated the character forward to the bunker, then skillfully pressed the aiming button, and started aiming at the enemies with a holographic sight with a red dot.

Open the mirror, aim at the enemy, and pull the trigger.

this moment.

Hank became a member of the battlefield.

And as he pulled the trigger, a shell suddenly fell into the river in the middle.

Accompanied by an explosion.

Water splashes.

Hank loses vision of an enemy soldier aiming a gun at his side.

then.

The bullet flew over.

Some hit the ground in front of him, splashing mud.

Some bullets hit him, directly causing the character he controlled to gasp in red blood.

"Yes, yes, that's how it feels!"

Hank quickly hid back in the bunker, listening to the explosion sound from the earphones and the roar of his teammates, his body leaned forward again, his face was almost on the screen.

This feeling of confusion.

That's what he wanted!
And next.

The flow of the game is like a replica of the previous city battle.

Just compared to the previous one.

This one looks more professional...and more explosive!

Suppress the firepower, wait for the bridge to be built, meet the arrival, and start again.

After Hank completed the task of suppressing firepower, he controlled the first class soldier to walk onto the bridge, then got into the supporting jeep, and held the machine gun.

"Countdown to ten seconds!"

see this scene.

Haven't fired yet.

Hank's adrenaline surged again!

in game.

Suddenly, a fighter jet flew over the head of First Class Allen.

then.

The whistling sound of shells came from a distance.

Boom.

The enemy's stronghold in the distance exploded instantly.

The high-rise building collapsed, and huge dust, surrounded by flames, shot up into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the shock wave of the explosion swept across, sweeping the concrete debris, and swept over the soldiers who were on standby.

The jeep starts!
The roar of the engine sounded!

Troops rolled over the concrete debris of collapsed buildings in the explosion dust and began to push towards the city.

The atmosphere is full! !
But after entering the city.

The war zone where bullets flew randomly just now.

But suddenly became quiet.

After the explosion, there was no movement.

But the character controlled by the player at this moment is still holding a machine gun.

No matter how you think about it, nothing will happen.

So a sense of contradiction began to arise spontaneously.

Like the calm before the storm.

The convoy slowly drove into the slums, and the narrow streets were full of traces of war.

Garbage, civilians, militias.

In the cramped streets, there are only the sounds of cars driving and teammates talking on the radio, and the enemy is completely invisible.

The tension starts to creep up...

It even affected Hank in front of the screen.

He couldn't help leaning forward again...

at last.

After driving a long way.

Enemies appear.

Hank immediately turned his gun, aimed at the enemy upstairs who was about to snipe, and pressed the attack button.

The barrel of the machine gun slowly turned, and then the bullets poured out!

The palm tree blocking the line of sight was swept away, and then the bullets poured on the enemy wantonly.

The silence and contradiction just now.

Instantly released.

"Yes!!!" Hank shouted loudly.

The enemy also began to pour bullets and RPGs towards the convoy.

The street, which was quiet just now, suddenly became noisy and chaotic.

And the bullets didn't just come from upstairs.

Just when Hank shot wantonly.

A civilian pickup suddenly rushed out from the other end of the street, and then made an emergency stop!

The enemy in the back seat jerked up the machine gun mounted on the back of the pickup.

blah blah blah.

The bullets poured on the steel plate of the armed jeep, making a crisp sound.

Hank hurriedly turned the gun around.

Then he realized that he was surrounded.

Can only break through.

But it didn't break far.

An RPG from the roof suddenly flew out, hit the armed jeep right in the middle, and overturned the jeep to the ground again.

Lost vehicle.

The team members who had just rampaged could only hide in the house.

The machine guns fired and crushed, and soon turned into an indoor battle...

the whole process.

Like a blockbuster movie.

There is no urine point at all, and there is no time for players to feel bored at all!

"exactly!!!"

Hank breathed slightly short of breath, yelled, and stared at the screen.

Start enjoying your own modern warfare.

……

soon.

Hank passed the first level.

The ranger played by Hank successfully took down the town occupied by the enemy.

This process is actually not that long.

But the quality did not disappoint Hank at all!

He really feels like he's back, the shocking feeling he had when he first played Call of Duty last year...

Immersive battlefield feeling, invincible script performance, better gun feel than the previous game.

The only thing that is a pity is that——

Urban warfare in the first level is not new.

It's not that this level is not new, but the environment.

There are too many games of this kind of urban warfare.

But Hank is not too worried about this.

Because he had a hunch.

Behind this game, there will definitely be levels that will make people's eyes shine...

Hank had this in mind.

Select Continue.

The screen goes dark.

then.

The familiar satellite map cutscene appears.

The satellite's positioning departed from the Middle East and aimed at a certain submarine in the Pacific Ocean.

The conversation between Private Allen played by Hank and General Sheffield sounded just now.

Sheffield asked Sergeant Allen, who had just performed brilliantly on the battlefield, to join the 141 Special Forces, which is composed of the world's elite soldiers, and let him perform undercover missions.

Simultaneously.

When Private Allen asked when he could meet other teammates.

Sheffield took the opportunity to introduce the tasks that the other two members of the 141 special forces team were performing, and pointed the camera at them.

The positioning of the satellite moved away again, aiming at the icy Kazakhstan...

【'Peak Warrior'】

【The next day, 07:35:55】

【'Sergeant' Gary Sanderson】

【141 Special Forces】

【Kazakhstan】

The familiar green characters on the lower left popped out, giving the time, characters and locations.

The screen lights up.

On the cliffs of snow mountain.

A man with national flag epaulets on his shoulders and snowflakes on his clothes appeared in the center of the screen.

He squatted on the cliff, facing the abyss, swallowing clouds and fog.

next second.

suddenly.

The whole mountain began to tremble.

The sonic boom sounded from far to near, and a fighter jet roared past, disrupting the wind and snow.

The man who was puffing and puffing looked up at the top of his head, then dropped his cigar, looked at Sergeant Gary Sanderson, who was played by Hank this time, and then stood up: "The rest is over, Xiaoqiang, let's go Bar."

Simultaneously.

His name also appeared.

McTavish.

It was the first role played by the player in the previous game - "Soap"!
"Oh hoo."

Hank saw this scene.

Immediately excited.

Just said that the environment of urban warfare is not new.

The snow mountain appeared.

And the opening is on the cliff, and there are familiar characters on the stage.

This made him look forward to this level!
Moreover, the new missions in different locations and different roles made him confirm one thing.

The story of this work should still have two parallel lines.

This is interesting...

Hank regained his grip on the mouse, excited again.

But soon.

His excited heart went cold...

In the game, the passage above the cliff is very narrow. People who want to pass through can only lean against the rock wall and face the abyss where they will die without a place to die, and slowly move forward...

Although it is a virtual environment.

But faced with such a picture.

Sure enough, I will still be nervous.

Hank manipulated Xiaoqiang to turn sideways, and walked forward carefully, the hand holding the mouse was sweating a little...

At the same time, his mood is completely different from the previous level.

Control the character to move forward.

Then swing the ice ax to dig into the ice at the end, and climb up with the help of the ice ax...

rustle.

The ice ax digs into the ice, making a crackling sound.

And the place where the ice ax was drilled seemed to be unable to bear the weight of an adult, and cracks like spider webs were spreading from the inside to the outside...

This 'caring' show.

It looks very scary.

The ice surface felt like it was about to shatter at any moment, and the players would fall down.

And the way to climb up is still long.

halfway.

The broken ice from a higher place fell and shocked the players.

Hank's palms were sweating more and more...

And finally climbed up.

Hank just breathed a sigh of relief.

Haven't reacted yet.

"Good luck, buddy, we'll meet face to face."

Sergeant 'Soap' MacTavish, the lead, took a run-up and jumped towards the opposite side of the cliff.

Hank: "???"

Although I know it's a show.

But when Hank saw this scene, he still felt a sudden cardiac arrest...

After all, he really didn't give him any time to react.

And behind.

Hank manipulated the character to jump towards the opposite side of the cliff, and then failed to chisel the ice, and almost fell into the abyss.

It almost scared Hank to pee out.

He knows it! !
He really does!This performance will definitely shock the players!

But he was still intimidated.

And when the player's emotions can be affected by the game.

Then the game is already half a foot on the door to success...

Hank is actually pretty good.

beside him.

David and the others exclaimed immediately after playing here.

And their play progress is about the same.

So soon, the Internet cafes were full of exclamations, just like performing some cult ritual...

the other side.

Hank is still playing the game, and with the help of Soap, he escapes smoothly and arrives at the destination.

And then there is no adventurous ice climbing.

In the Call of Duty series, the peak games and most of the levels will not allow players to repeat the same gameplay for too long.

This one is the same.

After climbing the snow mountain.

Guns appear.

The game pulls players back and tells them that this is an FPS game.

Only then did Hank know that this was still a stealth level.

Heartbeat detector.

New accessories for the gun body.

It can scan human heartbeats within a certain range on the vast snow-capped mountains.

And the player needs to rely on the heartbeat detector, follow the 'soap' Sergeant MacTavis, and sneak to the destination.

Crouch forward, detect the enemy, aim at the enemy, one by one, shoot together...solve.

At the beginning of this level, there were not many exciting scenes.

In fact.

Most of the time in this level, you need to crouch to move forward.

There are also few enemies.

And such a checkpoint.

At the beginning, it is obviously inappropriate and may make players feel bored.

But just now Hank passed an explosive city attack level.

At this moment, I have played such a cold and chilling level.

Not only did he not feel bored, but he felt that the performance was awesome! !
Because it's so emotional! ! !
This level is not static!

The first is snow mountain climbing, which feels like a traditional adventure game.

Followed by sneak assassination, it feels like sneaking into the game again.

After that, the storm hit, and the blizzard swept the entire area, and the visibility began to become extremely low.

At this moment.

Then it became special operations again...

Players need to walk into the white blizzard like a ghost, and then use the heartbeat detector to find enemies wearing camouflage suits that are also integrated with the blizzard, and then rely on the scope to solve them one by one...

Hank thinks this is really cool! ! !

The gun with the silencer installed made a soft sound.

Immediately afterwards, the enemy groaned and fell down.

I didn't know how I died until I died.

The player is like a real ghost, silently, moving forward...

Hank doesn't even have to play to the back.

directly here.

He was conquered by this game!

"It's so handsome! Just like the movie! I knew it! Wood Studio never disappoints!"

Hank probably lowered his voice a lot at the moment because he was too involved in the drama.

But the excited look on his face was not concealed at all.

And David and the others sitting next to him didn't hide their voices!

"What a wonderful afternoon! So cool! It's like an old school movie!"

"i can't believe this! (I can't believe this)"

"Wow~"

"Cooooooooooooool!!"

The few people sitting together were very excited.

They don't think it's ok, because they are playing a game.

But... for everyone else.

Not necessarily.

Internet cafe front desk.

The girl who was on duty during the day put one hand on her cheek and looked at the overseas tourists with a strange expression.

Of course, there are many overseas tourists in a metropolis like Pengcheng.

But it was indeed the first time I saw it in an Internet cafe...

So the girls on duty are very curious, and occasionally glance at them.

But the more you look, the more curious the girl on duty becomes...

Because these dozen or so overseas tourists who surf the Internet can always yell together at a certain point of time... It's really weird, it's like being possessed by an evil spirit...

The girl on duty couldn't figure it out.

What are they doing?
　Ah, I'm sorry, I got off work late, and after changing it, I feel that the writing is not good...
