Chapter 561 It's Over
"Ghost, please answer, this is Price! We are being attacked by Sheffield's men in the scrapyard! - Thorpe, hold the left wing!"
"Don't trust Sheffield, I repeat, don't trust Sheffield! - Thorpe, get down!"
On the radio.
Price, who attacked Makarov's other hiding place with Soap, resisted the attack of Sheffield's men while warning Xiaoqiang and Ghost on this side.
They didn't know what happened yet.
But the players in front of the screen.
Very clear.
Tianhu.
Mou Feng was sitting in his office.
Like Hank who was far away in the Internet cafe, he was shocked by the ending of [Unfinished Business] and was stunned in place...
Xiaoqiang and Ghost finally fought their way out.
Finally waited for reinforcements.
Finally saw Sheffield.
But after confirming that the two people from the 141st Special Forces had obtained the information, Sheffield shot down the "Xiaoqiang" played by the player with one shot, and then turned around and shot Ghost who couldn't believe it and wanted to raise his gun...
The whole process was clean and neat, without a trace of hesitation.
This sudden scene
had a huge impact on the players.
Dead?
The player played the role of Sergeant Gary Sanderson, the "Xiao Qiang" for half of the game, and he died just like that
? The two of them fought their way out of this level with great difficulty, but they died just like that?
Mou Feng, the game producer, felt incredible when he saw this scene...
and the game, as if it had anticipated that the players would be unbelievable at this moment, later used a very naked performance to put this fact in front of all the players.
Sheffield's men lifted up the "Xiao Qiang" and threw it into the pit.
The "Xiao Qiang" who still had some consciousness rolled and fell, and then witnessed the completely dead ghost being thrown beside him like garbage.
And until this moment.
The radio on the ghost's waist sounded Price's warning words.
But it was too late.
Just when Price warned the two.
Sheffield's men had already poured gasoline on the two.
After the shooting, Sheffield, who never spoke again, stood in the distance and lit a cigar.
Then.
He slowly walked to the "Xiao Qiang" who still had some consciousness with the cigar.
Boom -
a sound similar to drum beats.
Sheffield flicked the cigar in his hand onto Xiaoqiang.
The flames instantly rose.
With Xiaoqiang's blurred vision.
Sheffield turned and left.
The two soldiers who were portrayed very well in this game were in the flames and died without a complete body.
They didn't even die heroically.
Instead, they were stabbed in the back by their own people and died in frustration.
And this level.
It ended in the rising flames.
"..."
Mou Feng looked at the last scene of the flames rising in this level, listened to the tragic music, and suddenly shuddered, and finally came to his senses.
He really died.
"Linmu Studio...really dared."
This is the only thing Mou Feng wanted to say at this moment.
To be honest, even if he played with a scrutinizing eye throughout the whole process - after all, he is also a producer, it is difficult to simply enjoy the game, especially playing a new game from Linmu Studio.
But even if he is not like an ordinary player, who only cares about fun and is led by the game's exquisite level design.
But when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but have emotional fluctuations.
Because he didn't expect that Sheffield, who had been fighting side by side with the protagonists, would stab him in the back.
And this was after laying the groundwork for so long in this level, when Xiaoqiang and Ghost had fought their way out.
This sudden turn of events
even pushed the emotions of him, a "player" with a scrutinizing gaze, to a climax.
Not to mention ordinary players.
And the emotions of players were mobilized again at the end of the game.
How to write the next story... Mou Feng knew it all.
Now the plot of the game is not over.
But Mou Feng already knew the ending... Not the ending in the game.
But the ending of the game itself.
"Alas..."
Mou Feng stared at the computer screen blankly, and then he sighed faintly while opening the next level.
This highly anticipated sequel to the game has no problems of lack of innovation, poor performance, etc....
Instead, it has gone a step further than the previous game.
The game system has evolved comprehensively.
The plot is more ups and downs.
The level design is more exciting.
At the same time, like the previous game, it also left a deep memory point for players-the death of Ghost and Xiaoqiang.
All this adds up.
Mou Feng could imagine what kind of grand occasion would happen when the first batch of players cleared the game later.
Linmu Studio...
Mou Feng suddenly felt a little frustrated.
Are they...really invincible?
...
Internet cafe.
As soon as the girl named Xiaoyan finished speaking,
David and others around Hank also shouted.
Their progress was indeed similar... At this moment, they had all reached the [Unfinished Business] level. And they shouted even louder than Hank. Various words starting with F echoed in the Internet cafe. They attracted the attention of the entire Internet cafe. From a distance, they could feel their anger and excitement... And
at the front desk, Xiaoyan didn't know what to say. Although she was also well-informed and had a clear understanding of the extent to which players liked Linmu Studio's games, her knowledge was only limited to the forum. Although the players expressed themselves in words, they could also see that they were very excited. But there was a difference between reading their comments on the forum and seeing their excitement when playing games in person... "...Isn't it really strange?" The girl on duty looked at the overseas players who were screaming one after another and was shocked. Just now, Hank was screaming alone, and she didn't feel that deeply. But now there are so many people together. It was like a group of demons dancing wildly. She was also shocked! They didn't seem to be so exaggerated in the afternoon... However, although she hadn't seen this scene in the afternoon, she still pretended to have seen it... And Xiaoyan, who had just said that this was normal, reached an agreement with the girl on duty at the front desk in the afternoon for the first time: "Indeed... It's just a game, is it that serious?" They did have problems... But on the other side. Hank and others who were immersed in the game obviously didn't think they had any problems. As Mou Feng expected. Sheffield's backstab, this sudden turn. Directly pushed the emotions of all the players who played here to a climax! Next. You can say that you can't wait. You can say that you want to see the subsequent plot. Anyway. [The End of Important Matters] This level, in addition to shocking the players, also allows them to enter the next level a lot faster... For example, Hank. He was stunned for a long time when he saw the end of this level. Then the moment he came to his senses. With a shocked expression, he immediately opened the next level. At this moment. He was like watching a movie and just saw the climax. Even if he wanted to go to the toilet and was in a hurry, he would carry his laptop to the toilet with him... He didn't want to wait a moment! At the beginning of the next level. Hank's butt left the chair... The whole person was half-crouching again. Back to the original appearance. The name of this level is [Enemy of the Enemy]. Xiaoqiang and Ghost were backstabbed. Plas and Soap were not having a good time either. They were sandwiched between Sheffield's people and Makarov's people. Now. They need to fight their way out. In this level, there is no concept of friendly forces. Those soldiers who once fought side by side, General Sheffield's men, have now become enemies. The only thing that the player, Soap, needs to do is to kill everyone in sight. Then reach the predetermined retreat point. And this can be said to have hit the G-spot of the players. Hank instantly became energetic! Damn Sheffield!!! At the same time. As if to match the emotional changes of the players, even the music in this level became passionate. Vehicle processing plant. Hank controlled the character to kill all the way. During the killing, his mouth was as if covered with honey, constantly spitting out words starting with F. He vented his emotions wantonly. The frustrated emotions in the previous level! In the game, in this level, Price made an unexpected choice on the way to meet Soap. He chose to contact Makarov, the extreme terrorist, and asked the "enemy of the enemy" about Sheffield's location. Then, this level ended in a fierce and classic chase scene. Soap and Price successfully escaped the pincer attack. Then. The penultimate level! With the venting in the previous level, Hank calmed down a little. But he still felt unsatisfied! However. After the cutscene of this level was played. His unsatisfied feelings disappeared. Instead, there was a strong sense of anticipation!!!
At the beginning of the cutscene, there was a long silence.
A series of accidents and Sheffield's backstab almost wiped out the entire 141st Special Forces.
Now only Price and Soap are left.
Sheffield not only betrayed them, but also wanted the 141st Special Forces. They are also wanted persons.
And Sheffield himself is in the military base at the moment.
In Soap's own words.
They only have one UMP now, but the other side has thousands of troops.
It is not even certain whether Makarov's intelligence will work.
Price was silent for a long time and did not speak.
Until Soap shouted again and again.
Price's voice finally sounded.
He said that classic monologue declaration--
[Normal people don't think about their own death when they wake up, but I think this is not a curse, but a luxury. Knowing that you don't have much time left is also a kind of relief. ]
[Let me think about it first and evaluate the battle situation... Insufficient firepower, insufficient number of people, nothing can be done. I have to die with them. 】
【But this land that has experienced thousands of years of war...will remember us because of this war, because even though we know that we are doomed, we are still determined to embark on a road of no return. We are like a bullet shot out, moving forward courageously. 】
【We are filled with righteous indignation, and we have only one goal. 】
【We...】
【must...kill him. 】
When Price's monologue came to the end, he said "kill him" word by word calmly and firmly.
Hank inexplicably thought of a word - the time of revenge.
Without waiting for Hank to react.
The level started directly.
The only teammate was Price.
The enemy was an entire military base.
Everywhere you looked, there were enemies.
Just like an old commercial blockbuster.
Soap and Price.
Or the player.
After a series of accidents, you know who the enemy is and start to take revenge.
And for this level, Hank's evaluation is just one word - awesome!
It's really a killing game from beginning to end!
Sudden attacks, hanging assassinations, head-on battles, holding a shield and advancing on the cliff plank road against the enemy's strafing...
Hank controlled the character step by step towards Sheffield.
On Sheffield's side, the liaison officer kept reminding his general where the intruder was found, and then the area completely lost contact, and then the intruder was found again, and then after a while, the contact was completely lost again...
At this moment.
Hank even felt like he was the god of death, bringing death to Sheffield step by step...
killing his way through the military base.
And he was getting closer and closer to Sheffield.
Closer and closer!
The last level!
The name of this level is very simple and direct.
It's called... [Game Over]!
Price and Soap chased Sheffield all the way to the ferry of the underground undercurrent.
Facing Sheffield who escaped on an inflatable boat, the two also took an inflatable boat to chase him.
The two sides began to play a life-and-death race on the river.
Soap, played by Hank, had to deal with the soldiers, helicopters, and guns that hindered their pursuit. He
also had to follow the inflatable boat that Sheffield was riding in front of him.
The environment kept changing.
The view became wider and wider.
The enemy's gunfire became more and more fierce.
This level.
Almost most of the time, it was racing.
At the same time, this level was like all classic commercial blockbusters.
The climax continued.
There is also this simple, yet direct and easy-to-use reversal.
At the end of the river,
Sheffield's inflatable boat waited for the heavy helicopter to pick him up, and rushed directly into the cabin of
the heavy helicopter with the boat. The heavy helicopter took off
immediately. Sheffield was about to leave.
Price immediately asked the player driving the inflatable boat to stabilize.
Then.
Two bullets were fired to determine the height and parabola of the helicopter.
Then a grenade directly blew the wing of the heavy helicopter in the air.
Accompanied by flames.
The helicopter fell with a bang.
The inflatable boat that Price and the player were riding also came above the waterfall, followed the rapids, and rushed down the waterfall...
"..."
Hank's legs were numb. He had maintained the same posture
for these two levels . Because the game did not give him any breathing space. He sat down slowly, but he didn't care about his numb legs. After the game was briefly loaded, he held the mouse again. Soap, who had fallen into the water, climbed ashore. The control was back in Hank's hands. All the guns had fallen into the water. Hank controlled Soap, who stood up shakily. He could only draw out the dagger close to his body and slowly walked towards the location where the helicopter crashed.
Dust filled the air.
The helicopter was on fire.
But Sheffield was still alive.
The prompt came out.
[Kill Sheffield]
Sheffield staggered forward.
Hank controlled Soap to chase after him. After running for a distance,
he finally caught up with Sheffield, the culprit who created the Third World War. He
held the handle of the knife in reverse.
Hank controlled the character forward and was about to stab Sheffield who was leaning against the scrapped car.
But Sheffield, who seemed to be half dead, suddenly jumped up at the moment he made a move, grabbed his wrist, pressed his head with his other hand, and smashed it directly into the scrapped car next to him.
Soap was hit hard and fell to the ground.
Sheffield pulled out his knife.
Then he stabbed Soap.
Instantly.
The entire game screen turned red.
Then the screen went black.
Hank: "..."
[Five years ago, Zakhaev killed 30,000 marines in the blink of an eye.]
[But the whole world will just watch with fucking cold eyes.]
Sheffield's voice sounded again.
The screen appeared again.
Sheffield was reloading his pistol while talking to himself.
This general had changed when the nuclear bomb fell in the last game and 30,000 of his soldiers died in the blink of an eye.
[From tomorrow, we will have countless volunteers and patriots.]
[I know you understand.]
To put it bluntly, General Sheffield, who only wanted to take revenge on his country and the world, raised his gun and aimed it at the soap on the ground.
At this moment,
Hank, who had been completely emotionally aroused by the game, had his heart in his throat.
Fortunately, at the critical moment,
Price arrived, knocked Sheffield away, and pounced on him.
Hank's soap immediately reacted, turned over and began to struggle to crawl towards the place where the gun fell.
But Price was no match for Sheffield at all.
At the moment Hank held the gun,
Sheffield kicked the gun out of his hand, and then kicked him in the face.
The screen went black again.
When it lit up again,
in the distance,
Price and Sheffield wrestled again.
But the former was no match at all.
Soon, Sheffield rode on Price's body and punched him in the face.
...No way?
Just when Hank thought so.
Soap in the game looked at the dagger stuck in his chest.
The key prompt appeared.
Hank immediately followed the prompt and pressed 'F' frantically.
The game screen lit up blood red, symbolizing severe pain.
Accompanied by Soap's screams.
The dagger left the body.
The aiming cursor appeared.
Hank's arm trembled slightly, and he held the mouse tightly, aiming the cursor at Sheffield who was beating Price.
Press the attack button.
Sheffield seemed to notice something and looked up suddenly.
But the dagger had been thrown out.
In slow motion.
The dagger rotated.
Then, the tip of the knife hit Sheffield's eye socket.
"——it's damn good! Cool!!!!"
Seeing this scene.
Instantly.
Hank roared explosively.
All emotions were released instantly.
Thoughts are clear! !
……
"...Awesome!!"
At the same time.
Tianhu.
Mou Feng saw that the flying knife thrown by Soap hit Sheffield, and he also felt that his thoughts were clear!
He felt like he was watching an extremely exciting movie.
The ups and downs of the plot were matched with independent levels that were made to serve the hormones of the players.
It really looked like a commercial blockbuster.
And it looked even more like it at the end...
But Mou Feng had to admit that he really fell for it, because it was really well done...
And not only was this performance similar.
The subsequent ending was also similar.
Sheffield died.
Price got up again and pounced on Soap, and then Nikolai, the undercover agent who had appeared in the first generation and lurked in the Russian army, appeared in a helicopter to pick up the wounded Price and Soap...
Then, just as Price and Nikolai were about to board the helicopter with Soap.
[Linmu Studio. ]
The company name of Linmu Studio appeared, and the production staff jumped out.
It indicated that this work was officially over.
Everything is over.
But not completely.
Because Sheffield is dead.
But in this game, one of the culprits, Makarov, is still alive.
This extreme terrorist is still at large.
And the 141st Special Forces, Price and Soap, are still wanted at the moment...
It can only be said that the story of this game is over.
But the story of "Modern Warfare"
is far from over.
What will happen next?
In front of the screen.
Mou Feng looked at the company name of Linmu Studio and thought of this.
Then, at a certain moment.
He suddenly reacted and slowly showed a look of astonishment on his face...
"...Fuck!"
Mou Feng looked at the screen.
Suddenly burst out a swear word.
Because he thought of a very scary thing...
He recalled his feelings when playing this game, recalled the plot and levels that this game left a deep impression on him, recalled the many foreshadowings left at the end of this game, recalled the ghost and Xiaoqiang's death that will definitely cause a huge wave of discussion...
This tm... He wants to know the subsequent story, so what about ordinary players?
Most importantly, what will happen next year! ?
Mou Feng put himself in the shoes of an ordinary player and found that if he were an ordinary player, he would not be looking forward to the sequel after playing this game.
The first game, a game, has already brought the pre-sale sales of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" close to nine million.
Then what's next.
With two works laying the foundation and two extremely excellent predecessors as the foundation.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" has left so many memorable points.
Next, how many players will buy the third game that continues to tell the story of modern warfare?
Mou Feng really dare not think about it now...
He even thinks... As long as it is not stated clearly, even if Tianhu is allowed to make the third game! The pre-sale sales can easily exceed 10 million!
Because this IP.
At this moment, it has been given extremely high value!
If the first game's explosion was accidental, and the second game was riding on the momentum of the old game.
Now.
It can be said that
"Call of Duty" has become a new game series!
A game series that will be remembered by countless players, with great influence and value!
Even, it is a game series that exceeds "Mobile Force" and "Battlefield Smoke"!
"..."
After thinking this through,
Mou Feng suddenly felt chilled.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at the window, looking at the location of Linmu Studio.
He couldn't help but doubt.
Lin Yao... is she really optimistic about mobile games?
They can make money without doing anything next time
!!!
At the same time,
in North America,
Frank also saw the ending of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".
After seeing this ending
, he had two thoughts after playing games all night.
First,
fortunately, his company's "Mobile Force" delayed the release of this game.
It didn't collide with them.
It was really a blessing.
Second,
it's over.
Gibbs is over.
"Mobile Force" is over.
Everything is over.
Players have played such a game, and it will become inevitable that "Mobile Force" will be compared after its release.
And this comparison will be a massacre...
and even if it is avoided this year,
what will happen next year?
What if Linmu Studio launches the third game of Modern Warfare next year?
Frank didn't know.
His mind is full of scenes of massacre.
The scene of being massacred by Linmu Studio...
It's only been two years!
Only two games have been released!
Why?
Why do they have so many good ideas?
Why can they design shooting games so exciting?
Why are they so skilled?
Why do they suddenly feel invincible?
Countless "whys" lingered in Frank's mind.
He really couldn't figure it out.
After playing the game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", he knew better than Mou Feng what this meant.
It meant new competitors.
It meant competitors that were completely unbeatable...
Really, it's over...
...
This side.
After playing the game, the industry insiders had mixed feelings and had a lot of thoughts.
They all started thinking about next year and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
And
they succeeded in scaring themselves...
But for the players,
it was much simpler.
After playing the game, they only caused the largest stand-alone game forum in China to crash...
That day,
all the player communities in China were blown up.
