Chapter 560 What!!!
The girl at the front desk held her cheek.
She observed Hank and the others with a strange look.
Hank, who was playing the game, didn't know about this.
He was still shocked by the classic "Peak Warrior" level of the game.
In this level, the gameplay of sneaking in the blizzard is really cool.
"Soap", who is responsible for supporting on the ridge, relies on the thermal imaging scope to constantly remind the player which direction there are enemies.
And the player relies on the heart detector to steadily advance.
While dealing with the enemy, avoid passing cars with thermal imaging, and finally install the C4 bomb...
Then.
The infiltration scene is over.
Stealth infiltration has also become a head-on confrontation.
In the middle, the game also has a classic performance of friendly forces being exposed and surrounded, being rescued by explosions, and then killing their way out. Fighting
against the many with the few.
Although this scene is rarely successful in reality.
But in the game, it is indeed a scene that is quite popular among players.
Because it makes players feel full of power!
This is also the biggest change of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 compared to the first generation.
Most players really like this.
The shrill alarm sounded.
Enemies came from all directions.
There were only two friendly people, but they relied on mutual cover, four legs, four guns, and killed all the way...
This is enough to make players feel excited and full of power.
Moreover,
even at this point,
the production team seemed to be afraid that the players would not be satisfied.
After a series of classic blockbuster plots such as iceberg climbing, cliff jumping, infiltration assassination, special operations, and explosive breakouts,
there was also a snowmobile race in the back .
On the vast snow-capped mountains,
countless enemy troops rode snowmobiles to catch up.
Players need to drive snowmobiles on a road full of obstacles while avoiding obstacles and trying to get rid of the enemies behind them.
Can't slow down!
Rush all the way!
On the way, players can also shoot down enemies who run in front of them with one hand.
The scenery keeps receding.
Sergeant 'Soap' McTavish kept shouting to the player through the radio: "GO! GO! GO! Faster! Faster!"
Then as the distance to the target point got closer and closer, it was not only the pursuers on snowmobiles.
There were also infantry.
Helicopters!
The bullets fired by the helicopters splashed snowflakes.
The enemy was killed, and the snowmobile flew in front of the player and exploded.
The screams and the whistling of bullets.
Constantly stimulate the player's adrenaline!
The last section of the road.
The terrain became flat.
The speed of the snowmobile driven by the player soared again.
Finally, at an uphill cliff, it took off directly... crossed the abyss, came to the other side, and successfully arrived in front of the retreating helicopter.
All of the above.
With extremely excellent sound and picture performance.
It is simply all-round without dead angles... fully interpreting what a big production is!
Hank didn't lean forward at the end of the game, but his butt was off the seat.
The whole person, half-stood in a horse stance to play the game.
I don't know how he persisted...
and when he saw the helicopter at the end, the level ended.
Hank sat down again.
But he was still excited and couldn't calm down for a long time!
Exciting!
It was really exciting!
Hank's heartbeat quickened, and his mind was full of the word exciting.
When he played this level, his mood was exactly like riding a roller coaster. He was carried away by the "big dishes" served by the game.
There was no time to relax.
This level is simply the best teaching on how to realize the concept of "making players feel powerful"!
It is completely worthy of the name of this level - "Peak Warrior"!
Of course there are unreasonable places.
If you really want to be serious, there are too many.
If it is put in a realistic military shooting game, it will probably be sprayed as fake immediately.
But "Call of Duty" is not a realistic military shooting game. It is a pure commercial masterpiece.
Everything serves the hormones of players.
And Hank really likes this.
Or most players like this.
"Awesome! Awesome! Really awesome."
Mark looked at the darkened screen and began to speak nonsense in the Chinese he had just learned.
It was lame and funny.
He himself didn't mind, and instead laughed along with his face flushed.
There was nothing he could do.
He was too excited.
At this time,
the next level also began.
Mark was now full of expectations for the next level. Seeing the new level start, he took a deep breath and looked at the screen with excitement.
But the new level
was a little different from what he imagined...
In this level, the game perspective turned back to Private Alan and Sheffield.
Through the conversation between the two, the important villain of this game was introduced, Makarov, a terrorist who was involved in torture, human trafficking, genocide and did not pledge allegiance to any flag or country.
Private Alan, who had just joined the 141st Special Forces, was sent by Sheffield to be an undercover agent beside him.
According to Sheffield, they had paid a high price to place Alan undercover beside Makarov.
And Alan, in order to gain the other party's trust, also needs to pay a price for the next mission...
[But, compared with what you are about to save, all this is insignificant. ]
Finally,
Sheffield left this sentence.
The cutscene ended.
The level officially began.
"The price?"
Mark, who was still in an excited state, didn't care.
And in the game,
the screen was briefly black.
The sound of guns being loaded was heard.
Then, in the lower left corner,
green words slowly popped up.
[No Russian]
[Day 3, 08:40:50]
[Private First Class Joseph Allen Undercover Name: Alexi Borodin]
[Zakayev International Airport]
[Russia. ]
As this line of words popped up,
the screen lit up.
Four fully armed men looked at the character controlled by Hank.
Among them was Makarov mentioned by Sheffield.
Before he walked out of the elevator, he looked at Hank and specifically said, "Remember... don't speak Russian."
Then,
a group of people filed out.
The screen flickered.
The camera slowed down at this moment.
Outside the elevator was the airport terminal, and through the elevator door, you could still see the airport sign.
Four fully armed people wearing bulletproof vests looked very out of place in such an environment.
The screen flickered again.
Just like the character blinking.
But the control of the character has never been given to Hank.
And the people outside the elevator had already raised their guns.
Then,
at the moment they fired.
The screen suddenly went dark.
The entire screen was black for a long time.
There was no picture or sound.
Mark: "..."
What the hell! ?
Mark maintained a stunned expression, dumbfounded.
The game was very metaphorical here, and there was no time left for the player to control the character to walk out of the elevator.
But Makarov, a terrorist, could do anything that anyone could guess!
This was Sheffield's insignificant price! ?
Is Sheffield crazy! ?
Mark was shocked.
He had just experienced the "Peak Warrior" level, and was stunned by the real bloody world suddenly displayed by the game. For
the first time, he understood from the bottom of his heart what terrorism had brought to the world.
This was too scary.
Makarov was a pure scumbag.
Sheffield felt crazy too!
And just as Hank was thinking about it.
The screen lit up again.
A cutscene was played like a montage.
Makarov and others exchanged fire with the soldiers who came outside the airport.
Fighting and retreating.
Finally arrived at the scheduled retreat point.
The person in charge of the pick-up pushed open the door of the rear car.
He asked the people who just appeared in the elevator to get in the car.
[Markov, we have made a name for ourselves with our attack.]
The pick-up companion even said this with a little pride.
The private played by the player, Allen, was silent the whole time and was the last one to get in the car.
Makarov did not answer his pick-up companion, but turned to look at Allen.
Allen walked forward to the rear car.
Makarov stretched out his hand to him, and while pulling him into the car, he said sinisterly: "That's not a signal..."
He pulled Allen into the car, and then took out a gun with his other hand.
Bang.
The player's perspective.
It instantly turned blood red.
Allen leaned back and fell to the ground.
"This is it."
Makarov looked down at Allen who was lying on the ground, dropped his last words, and then walked away.
[They thought they could plot against us. But after finding this body... the whole of Russia will roar for revenge.]
At the end of this level.
Just as Allen was surrounded by the police, Makarov said this statement.
The end came.
"What!? Fuck!!!"
Hank saw it, opened his mouth slightly, and cursed directly.
This undercover agent failed! ?
It's really fucked up!
He was plotted against!
Sheffield!
Hank shook his head, and then couldn't wait to start the next level.
No Russian.
Hank had almost no room for operation.
No.
Not almost.
There was no room for operation.
But even so, this level still shocked him beyond words, and his mood followed the ups and downs of the plot, like a roller coaster...
and the next level.
The plot is a sequel to the previous level.
Allen was left at the airport and became some kind of evidence.
A new character named Ghost appears and says directly: "Russia will take revenge, they will definitely retaliate, and a bloody storm is inevitable."
Later, the cutscene also tells all players through the mouth of "Soap", played by the previous generation of players.
What impact did this failed undercover operation have?
Now everyone in Russia wants to beat them to death!
Thousands of lives are now counted on their heads.
And now Private Allen is dead, and there is no evidence... Now the 141st Special Forces needs evidence.
Sheffield pointed out a clear way for them, that is, to trace the source of the bullets.
Soap and others need to track down Alex, the supplier of massacre arms.
And follow him to find the culprit Makarov.
Thus.
The game officially kicks off the prelude to a new level...
['Thousand Miles to Chase the Murderer']
[Day 4, 15:08:22]
['Xiao Qiang' Sergeant Gary Sanderson]
[141st Special Forces]
[Rio de Janeiro]
Hank plays Xiao Qiang again.
In this level.
The game returned to the regular game link again.
Chasing the target in the city, and making full use of the characteristics of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
The stage at the beginning is the city.
The second half is in the intricate slums.
There are many innocent civilians in the slums.
There are also many hostile civilian armed forces.
The enemy is mixed in.
They can always shoot cold guns from unexpected places.
The atmosphere is very terrifying...
Hank is miserable.
But it is indeed... a completely different experience.
The intricate slums are connected in all directions.
The terrain is up and down.
Enemies suddenly appear.
The whole process is similar to counter-terrorism and is very innovative.
Hank's "Xiao Qiang" chased the target all the way from the slums, hit the target on the ground, hit the target in the house, and then hit the target on the roof.
Killed all the way from the ground to the roof.
Like a god of war...
After dying twice.
He passed the level.
The target was hunted down.
But the problem arose again. The command center did not respond to their call and could not send a helicopter for support.
Hank's Xiaoqiang and two other teammates can only rely on themselves now...
Level 6.
Just when Hank thought that the next level would tell how Xiaoqiang and others escaped from the slums and how to continue to find clues.
The new level started out wrong.
The opening animation of this level began with a contact.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command discovered 70 enemy aircraft in the area under the responsibility of Nome Air Force Base and asked the other party to confirm.
But Nome Air Force Base thought the other party was joking and said that everything was normal here.
Hearing the other party say this.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command also seemed to think it was impossible and replied: "Well, there may be a small malfunction in an attack identification module, and it has begun to detect and look for system errors."
But then.
Not only the area under the responsibility of Nome Air Force Base.
There were also 100 enemy aircraft in the area under the responsibility of Vandenberg Air Force Base.
But the North American Aerospace Defense Command asked again.
Vandenberg Air Force Base also replied that everything was normal.
Everyone was careless.
Even joked during the contact.
Until.
The air traffic control liaison yelled, "The sky is full of enemy planes!"
The atmosphere suddenly changed!
No one dared to believe it.
But the war really came...
Hank was also stunned in front of the screen.
He was just tracking down clues to the arms.
He thought he was going to give justice to Private Allen.
But when he turned around,
Russia took action.
The war
began.
A new level appeared.
The fire in the distance reflected the red sky.
In the gray sky,
countless parachutes were falling from the sky.
The atmosphere was rendered and pulled to the maximum.
And this time,
Hank will play the role of a soldier of his own country and fight on his homeland...
And this sudden plot turn also made Hank's heart ride a roller coaster again...
From the beginning of the game,
Hank had no intention of stopping the game.
Instead, he was shocked by the extremely ups and downs of the game, and was deeply involved in it... Last year, he opened Call of Duty. As soon as he played the first level, he was completely trapped. He couldn't sleep until he finished it! This year
. ...same. And the symptoms seem to be more serious. Because in the game, the plot is slowly pushing towards a climax at a level that players can perceive. Two lines are running in parallel. One line is the battle to defend the homeland. The other line is the 141st Special Forces tracking down Makarov. It's getting more and more exciting... Restarting a new level of the game. Hank, who is holding the mouse, has decided that he must complete the level today! Otherwise, he can't sleep!!! ... Front desk. The girl on duty has figured it out. Just now, he took a look behind them and found that they were just playing games. It's not some kind of cult ritual. It's not crazy... They are just more excited to play games. But it's still very strange... The girl on duty sat down again, holding her cheek, and looked at them again, unable to figure it out. It's not like she hasn't met people who are so excited about playing games that they shout. In fact, she can hear players who are so excited that they shout "five kills, five kills", "very disabled, very disabled" every day... But these are individual cases. Although there are every day, most of them are shouted by one player. But they... are shouting together. And it's quite regular. The girl on duty at the front desk has observed for so long and discovered it. They usually shout once every fifteen to twenty minutes, and then they calm down with an expression of wanting more, and their faces are flushed. Then they continue in the next time period. Over and over again. For example, now... "AGM! Air-to-ground missiles! Cool!" "Stinger missiles!" "I am God!!!" "..." Yeah. They will be like this while playing... so excited that they even say they are God... If you are a player who has played the "Call of Duty" series, you probably know that this is the climax of each level. But the girl on duty at the front desk doesn't play stand-alone games. In fact, she doesn't even play online games. Usually, she plays some cute games on swich. - Yes, she knows swich, because her colleague has one and has been recommending it to her. She also knows Linmu Studio. After all, the venue not far from the Internet cafe is hosting an e-sports festival. Although it has been off during this period. But this event has been held for several consecutive years. Even if she didn't pay attention to the news in this regard, she knew that it was an event organized by the developer of Swich. Domestic players, most of the time, would not come to the Internet cafe to play stand-alone games. Even if there were, they would mostly come alone and would not be so conspicuous. But this year is special... because Linmu Studio chose to release the sequel to "Call of Duty" during the e-sports festival. So the girl on duty... was able to see this confusing scene. Just as the girl on duty was observing this group of overseas players. They started again. "Wait for me! I'm coming!" "FUCK, I knew that there would be accidents in this kind of helicopter performance!" "Exciting!"
Most of the time, the girl on duty couldn't understand what they were shouting.
Because they spoke very fast.
Unless they spoke broken Mandarin or simple sentences.
However,
even if she couldn't understand,
the girl on duty could feel their excitement.
It was just too exciting, it felt a little scary.
She had never seen a player who could stay excited for so long while playing games... It
was too scary.
Even the players who shouted "Pentakill" and "Big Damage" were excited for a while and then calmed down.
"It's so weird, I don't know how long they will stay like this... It feels like they will go crazy in the end."
The girl on duty looked at the overseas players who had started again and complained.
Then she retracted her gaze and went to watch the show.
...
It turned out that
these overseas players were even more terrifying than the girl on duty had imagined.
Time passed.
These players went online at noon and played all the way until the evening...
After six o'clock.
With the arrival of the evening rush hour,
more and more customers came to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet.
Many players came to surf the Internet, but there was also a player who had never played the "Call of Duty" series. When he passed behind these overseas players, he was attracted by the game.
The main reason was that their shouting was too eye-catching...
Hank's group of overseas players really shouted all afternoon!
They shouted every ten minutes or so.
They maintained an excited state for the whole afternoon...
Moreover, except for a temporary stop when they ordered fast food together, they did not let go of the mouse at other times.
Even when they were eating,
they would bite the hamburger and play.
It was really crazy.
"Xiaoyan, did you see the group of overseas players?"
At 6:41 in the evening.
The girl on duty also started to eat.
While eating, he complained to the colleague on duty who asked for leave in the afternoon and came back in the evening: "They will start shouting later. I have figured out the pattern. They will shout every fifteen to twenty-five minutes. It's really crazy..."
"Are they the audience of the e-sports festival?"
Next to him.
The girl on duty obviously knew more, and said calmly: "They are probably playing the game of Linmu Studio, which is normal..."
"This is normal!?" The girl on duty raised her head with an incredible look on her face.
"Linmu Studio, their games are very popular... Most of the players in the Internet cafe play their games, and their games are also very popular overseas."
The girl named Xiaoyan nodded: "You don't know how much players like their games on the forum... Recently I saw that they have a very popular work released, and these people are probably playing the new game, so it is normal to be a little excited."
"..."
The girl on duty understood after listening.
But still didn't understand.
She thought her colleague just took a leave in the afternoon and didn't see the situation of these people shouting, so she said so.
So she decided to wait and wait until her colleague saw it before speaking.
...
On the other side.
Hank is still fighting.
He felt a little hoarse at this time, but it was not a big problem!
It didn't prevent him from playing games!
As for the feeling of playing games for an afternoon.
I can only say...
Hank really likes the game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"!
His evaluation is that it is not inferior to the previous game at all!
Not inferior at all! It even surpasses the previous game!
The ups and downs of the plot.
It is like being there.
The plot is wonderful, not only is it a link between the previous and the next, but each level also has new tricks!
Drone cruise missiles! Raptor fighters! Deep-sea submarines! Night vision goggles! Thermal sniper rifles! Even nuclear explosion EMP! Everything is available. It's
really no wonder he was shouting.
The content is really too rich...
And what makes him even more satisfied with this game is that the new characters are also impressive!
In addition to Price and Soap who appeared in the previous game.
The other two new characters in this game - Xiaoqiang and Ghost also left a deep impression on him.
Especially Ghost.
Although he doesn't have many scenes.
But his mask is very cool and full of mystery.
Hank really likes him.
In addition, to be honest.
Although Hank hasn't finished this game yet, in his heart, he has already awarded the ceiling award of story-based FPS games to this game!
He has a hunch that the subsequent plot will be even more exciting!
Because the 141st Special Forces will have to hunt down Makarov and uncover his true identity...
He held such expectations
and opened the fifteenth level - [Important Matters Unfinished].
The war came to an end.
The 141st Special Forces split into two groups to attack Makarov's two hiding places.
The cockroach played by the player will raid one of the safe houses with the ghost...
but at the beginning of this level,
they ran into trouble.
During the raid, they were ambushed...
and Makarov could not be found in the safe house.
The cockroach played by Hank was in a difficult battle.
After finally finding the safe house, he still hadn't caught anyone.
In the end, he could only follow orders and collect as many useful clues as possible from the safe house, including names, contact methods, locations, and everything else.
This is a level of holding on to the breakout.
It's hard to fight.
Especially at the skilled difficulty.
Enemies are coming from all directions, and then they have to break through all the way to the retreat point.
The cockroach played by Hank was even hit by a shot.
Fortunately,
just when everyone was about to be surrounded.
General Sheffield came with support.
Hank looked at the helicopter parked in the distance, and Sheffield walked out. He
breathed a sigh of relief.
Prepare for the next level...
Bang.
Then.
A sudden shot.
It stunned the ghosts and cockroaches in the game, and also stunned Hank in front of the screen.
One of the few major plot twists in the entire "Call of Duty" series! The biggest plot twist in this game! It happened in front of Hank...
Hank looked at the screen, his head buzzed, and his expression became extremely wonderful.
A chill ran down his spine and rushed straight to his forehead!
Then, the next second.
The whole Internet cafe.
Hear his scream.
"What!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
...
"Look, look!" The girl on duty
at the front desk
was startled by Hank's scream, and immediately turned her head to look at her colleague: "It's crazy... Is this normal?"
"..."
The girl named Xiaoyan half covered her ears. After hearing what her colleague next to her said, she turned her head away. After a moment of silence, she replied:
"Well... It does feel a bit abnormal..."
