Chapter 678 Protocol Three
[BT, Cooper, how is the situation, did you receive it? Please reply. ]
[Cooper, this is Commander Sarah Brisge. If you can hear me, please go to the bridge one kilometer north of you. ]
[You are the only key to our victory. We are coming to the folded space-time weapon. ]
[We are coming. It's not over yet. ]
In the level.
The voice of the rebel commander kept ringing in the communication channel.
At the end, she seemed a little apologetic.
But Jack Cooper turned a deaf ear to it, and the dialogue option never popped up from beginning to end.
He never said a word, but just killed IMC soldiers all the way under the control of the player.
And Kong Bo in front of the screen didn't want to answer.
Even though the game process is not long so far.
But the two protagonists in the plot are actually very well portrayed.
Not just BT.
There is also Jack Cooper.
As long as the player has played the game, they can probably clearly feel what kind of existence Jack Cooper is.
He is not a very extroverted protagonist in the traditional sense. On the contrary, he is a relatively autistic and introverted individual.
Because he was only a rifleman with the lowest rank on the battlefield, the environment itself did not allow much communication. Later, when he suddenly became a pilot, he was even full of insecurity.
In many previous levels,
Jack Cooper had very little communication with his colleagues and superiors.
When Captain Lastimosa died, he just buried him in silence.
In the signal tower level, facing the praise of his colleagues and the requests of the rebel forces, it was almost all BT who communicated, and Jack Cooper did not say a word from beginning to end.
And in the end, when the rebel commander wanted to transfer BT to other qualified pilots, he did not say anything.
Even if he had to say something to his colleagues occasionally,
it was usually very simple.
For example, when chasing the enemy ship in the front, other pilots praised him, and he would only reply with a simple sentence.
Very mechanical, just like facing his superiors.
But only when communicating with BT,
Jack Cooper would say a lot.
He would joke with BT, tease it for taking shortcuts, say it was in love when he found new equipment, and let BT jump down with him when he jumped into the water, and teach it to give a thumbs up...
The communication between one person and one machine almost occupied all the dialogue options.
During this period,
BT gradually changed from a machine to a flesh-and-blood "person".
And Jack Cooper gradually revealed his true side, and was no longer a cold name - "Rifleman Jack Cooper".
In a galaxy-level war, human life is ultimately just a number. Cooper and Titan BT are like a drop of water in the ocean. If you really want to be serious, one person and one machine are actually just small figures in this war.
The rebels still have countless Vanguard-class Titans and many pilots.
But because of this,
under this cruel reality,
the adventure of the two people together, the faint warmth, is also set off more precious.
But now,
BT was destroyed in front of him...
How could Jack Cooper not be angry!
How could the players who were adventuring together not be angry!
At this time, silence and killing!
Is the best answer!
Jack Cooper has just become a pilot! Before that, he was just a taciturn rifleman! Captain Lastimosa, who trained him, is dead! It was BT who accompanied him through these days!
Fuck you.
Kong Bo gritted his teeth, more seriously than ever before, controlling Jack Cooper, killing all the enemies he saw on the road one by one.
No one is left alive!
He poured out his anger crazily.
Until.
The voice of the rebel commander sounded again.
[There is one last Vanguard-class Titan in the pilot. ]
[I want to call up the data core and prepare to land the Titan. ]
Seeing such a conversation.
Knowing that the game is not over yet and the Ark has not been resolved, the game will definitely not let the player lose the Titan rashly.
Even though Kong Bo knew it deep in his heart.
But he still couldn't help feeling happy.
Ah! ?
BT can still live! ?
In the game, he has already controlled Jack Cooper and killed through the entire defense line.
And has come to the bridge one kilometer to the north.
And as the rebel commander said that the Titan is ready.
The game prompts the player to land his Titan.
There was a sound of breaking air.
An empty shell Titan without an intelligence core fell from the sky.
Jack Cooper came to the new Titan and installed the BT intelligence core he had been holding in his hand.
Then, the system restarted.
The Pioneer Titan in front of him came to life.
It slowly stood up, looked at Jack Cooper, and greeted him.
[Hi, Jack. ]
Jack Cooper, who had been silent since the beginning, and who had not said a word even when the rebel commander repeatedly asked him, finally spoke.
[Glad to see you back, BT.]
[In fact, there are more than 25,000 new parts. BT-7274 is powered on and ready for battle - it's time to complete the mission.]
BT answered, saying that more than 20,000 parts on his body are new, while raising the pillar-like machine gun in his hand, placing it on the ground, and opening the cockpit.
Kong Bo pressed the E key.
Jack Cooper in the game used the machine gun to jump back into the cockpit.
The perspective changed.
Everything familiar is back.
And the new BT also has a brand new weapon, a giant Gatling gun.
"Ha."
Kong Bo couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. The anger in front of him turned into joy at this moment.
It was because he had just lost it that the feeling of reunion seemed so good. It made him feel that it was really great to have BT back.
Even if it was just a machine.
And in the communication.
After a brief reunion.
The voice of the rebel commander sounded again.
The problem has not been solved yet.
Even though the rebels were firing at the IMC with all their might, they still couldn't stop the folding weapons.
Now Jack Cooper had to get into the control room.
Otherwise, the planet where the rebels were located would be destroyed.
"Fuck, I'm here to do it all!"
Kong Bo complained, "Okay, I'm here to show you what the Chosen Pilot is!"
As he spoke, he controlled the mech and began to adapt to the new Titan equipment.
After trying it.
I have to say.
The giant Gatling gun.
It's really cool!
A magazine has 150 bullets. In theory, you can kill an enemy Titan in one second by holding it down!
This is a brand new experience that the previous Titan equipment can't bring!
"Damn it!"
Kong Bo held down the left mouse button, watching the Gatling gun barrel spinning wildly in front of him, and the bullets pouring wildly, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
And in this level.
The rebels finally used it.
They will continue to provide fire support on Jack Cooper's way forward.
And Jack Cooper, controlled by the player, killed all the way from the outside to the inside with the new BT, new equipment, and the fire support of friendly forces. Cut
more than a dozen Titans in a row!
Like a killing god.
But when they enter the room,
air support can no longer cover them.
Next, they can only rely on Jack Cooper and BT...
At this time,
the Apex Hunter has also delivered the Holy Ark, and the IMC has begun to prepare the "Space-Time Folding Weapon".
And has set the target as the planet of the rebels. Success or
failure depends on this battle!
With a little nervousness, Kong Bo controlled BT to come outside the control room.
The door of the control room opened.
Two Apex Hunters just brought the Holy Ark.
Brisk, the founder of the Apex Hunter, also noticed Jack Cooper coming to the door of the control room.
He mocked Jack Cooper again for being obsessed with being a hero, and then said to his subordinates: "He is yours, enjoy it slowly."
The camera zoomed in.
The subordinate was the Apex Hunter who had just destroyed BT's old body-'Sloan'.
BOSS battle! Officially started!
But for the players in front of the screen.
This is the moment of revenge!
"You're the only one who can finish off the enemy, right?!"
Kong Bo saw the name of the boss and immediately recalled the scene at the beginning of the level. He stopped playing Gatling and switched to his most familiar initial weapon, making full preparations!
He wanted to defeat it in one go! He
even wanted to whip the corpse!
But the disgusting degree of this boss was beyond Kong Bo's expectations.
Not only was its attack power and attack frequency very high, but it also almost combined the characteristics of the previous bosses.
It would run away when it was low on health!
Then it would let the IMC Titan consume the player's Titan health, and then jump out again.
And it would frequently taunt and abuse the players.
Very shameless.
On the other side,
the 'Time and Space Folding Weapon' was already preparing, and it would enter the next stage after a while.
It was full of tension.
This boss battle was the most tense for Kong Bo.
Because he didn't know if there was a time limit.
And he didn't want to die and start over!
Fortunately,
Kong Bo was really familiar with BT's initial equipment.
And he was really calm. He
just ground it bit by bit.
He ground the health of the boss 'Sloan' to nothing.
When the health of BOSS 'Sloan' turns red.
Kong Bo stopped shooting, then controlled BT to rush forward and chose to end the fight in close combat.
When the boss screamed before dying, the mecha was scrapped by BT's shells and died directly.
"Cool!"
Kong Bo shouted directly and happily, just like drinking a sip of ice cola in the hot summer, it was extremely refreshing.
Give him a taste of his own medicine!
However,
there was not much time left for the players, BT and Jack Cooper to savor the battle just now.
The top hunter had just been dealt with here.
Over there,
the voice of the rebel commander sounded.
[Cooper, take the holy cabinet away before starting! Quick! ]
There was no room for breathing at all.
At the same time,
the space-time folding weapon had entered the final stage.
It was about to be launched.
Things were not over yet!
Kong Bo quickly controlled BT to come to the module carrying the holy cabinet.
According to the game reminder, he kept pressing the same button.
Time waits for no one.
BT began to use brute force to violently dismantle the shell.
Accompanied by the loud sound of steel breaking.
The shell was removed, and the blue energy light of the "holy cabinet" filled the eyes.
Then, a huge jet impact hit.
BT was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the three screens in the cockpit were affected and shut down one by one.
The screen went black.
[Cooper! BT! Did you get it! ? ]
The anxious voice of the rebel commander kept ringing.
When the screen lit up again.
BT's voice also sounded.
But its voice was no longer smooth, but as if it had reached its limit, full of jamming and confusion.
[Cooper... The impact of the jet gas exceeded my... main internal system. ]
[Trying to restore the visual system. ]
[The visual system has been repaired - repaired -]
[My analysis results show that throwing is the only way. ]
Huh?
In front of the screen.
Kong Bo was stunned.
BT, whose internal system was overly impacted, kept repeating "Throwing is the only way".
On the player's screen, various numbers alternating between 0 and 1 kept flashing.
When BT started the auxiliary power of the mecha and transferred to the backup energy.
It finally said the next sentence.
[Cooper, help me. ]
[My automatic navigation system is disconnected. 】
【Help me get into the ejection assembly room, we have to cooperate. 】
As BT spoke.
In the game, the main Titan protocols that players know when they first ride a Titan began to appear on the screen.
【Protocol 1, connect to the Iron Pilot: Iron Pilot Cooper - connected】
As the connection was completed.
BT slowly stood up.
Under the tragic music.
The voice of the rebel commander sounded again, they couldn't get here in a short time.
The "time-space folding weapon" must be destroyed internally, there is no other way.
And BT replied at this time that it has a way.
At the same time.
The second protocol appeared on the screen in the cockpit.
【Protocol 2, stick to the mission. 】
And BT's method is very simple, that is, to expose the core of its reactor and destroy the stability of the holy cabinet at the center of the time-space folding weapon... In short, blow it up.
In front of the screen.
Kong Bo: "..."
In the game.
While BT sent the coordinates to the rebel army, under the control of Jack Cooper, he deployed the launch pad in the control room.
The display screen was red.
Jack Cooper drove BT and boarded the launch pad together.
At the same time.
Titan's third major agreement was displayed on the screen.
But there were only three errors on it.
[Agreement Three, Error, Error, Error]
A new dialogue option popped up.
And the first option is very familiar to players.
It was the option when the player talked to BT in the first level of the game...
[Don't worry, BT, I'm not going anywhere.]
In front of the screen.
Kong Bo saw the dialogue options, realized something, and his breathing stagnated. He didn't want to choose
. He really didn't want to choose.
But at the last second, the last second of the countdown, he still chose the first one...
Maybe.
This is also a good ending.
The warrior is determined to die, and he is going to die bravely.
The dialogue is selected.
Then, Jack Cooper's voice sounded, and he whispered:
[Don't worry, BT, I'm right here, not going anywhere.]
[Roger that, Pilot.]
BT's voice was as calm as ever.
At the same time,
the protocol three that had just displayed error, error, error
began to change and began to flash again.
On the other side, a harsh buzzing sounded.
The launch pad began to charge.
Starting from the front end, a dazzling red energy light source gradually lit up, and the data board kept flashing. The energy for the launch was about to be fully charged.
Then.
Launch!
And at the moment when BT and Jack Cooper were launched from the launch pad to the "Holy Ark".
In the cockpit,
the flashing panel was finally loaded.
Protocol one, connect to the Pilot.
Protocol two, stick to the mission.
Protocol three, protect the Pilot...
and BT's voice sounded again.
[Protocol three, protect the Pilot]
The mecha was launched and quickly approached the Holy Ark.
BT suddenly opened the cockpit, and then the mechanical hand reached into the hatch and grabbed Jack Cooper.
[What are you doing?]
Jack Cooper struggled, but to no avail.
He was dragged out of the cockpit.
BT raised Jack Cooper in mid-air, clenched his other hand into a fist, and at the same time, the Wisdom Core turned to look at him. The familiar lines, the words that BT often said, sounded again -
[Believe me -]
Then, it threw Jack Cooper out with force.
Jack Cooper, played by the player, quickly moved away from the Holy Ark, and BT, accompanied by the tragic music, flew directly into the Holy Ark.
Then,
a dazzling light flashed.
The explosion came.
BT blew itself up... along with the Wisdom Core.
...
In front of the screen,
Kong Bo was stunned.
Seeing this scene, he felt a little suffocated.
Even though the escape link was right after, he did not move.
Because he did not expect.
This level.
Would have such an ending...
He lost BT at the beginning of the level, and anger filled his chest.
Then BT came back to life, and both Cooper and the players who were immersed in the plot just experienced the joy of reunion.
Then, he lost BT again...
BT sent Cooper, who had already decided to die together, out of the self-explosion...
When the action that should have been made through emotion was made by the set program.
BT read out the cold agreement in a robot tone.
The familiar "Agreement Three" and the familiar "Believe me" sounded together.
Kong Bo felt a shocking, indescribable but long-lasting emotion.
"Fuck..."
Kong Bo couldn't help it, and even felt a little wet in his eyes.
When he looked at the screen again.
Seeing the evacuation coordinates marked by the commander of the resistance army, thinking of BT's action of sending the coordinates to the resistance army just now.
He couldn't help it even more.
BT didn't think about escaping at all, and it couldn't escape. It wanted to destroy the folding space-time weapon.
The reason why it sent the coordinates to the resistance army
was to let Jack Cooper escape.
BT calculated everything.
"Fuck... You better have more behind you! You better have more behind you!!!"
Kong Bo shouted while quickly jumping to the evacuation point.
His voice was a little choked.
His operation was a little distorted, but he still got on the evacuation plane.
The whole planet was destroyed because of the damage to the weapons.
And then, it was gone. It
was over...
When the clearance subtitles popped up.
Kong Bo was stunned, and then he couldn't help it.
"Linmu Studio!!! You are simply not human!!! It's New Year's Day! You... woo..."
Soon.
Kong Bo's choking voice was heard again in the room.
...
At the same time.
At Mou Feng's house.
His progress was slower, but he had already reached the last few levels.
He was also excited about the Hundred Tanks War and cheered for the Iron Pilot Corps.
And the same.
Played to the last level.
When I heard BT say "Agreement Three, Protect the Iron Pilot." and "Believe me!"
When I saw the familiar mechanical big hand reaching into the hatch, the familiar grabbing, the familiar throwing.
He also felt a little suffocated... and a little tearful.
In fact, in stand-alone games, companion NPCs are not a new thing.
Whether it is the game in Lin Yao's previous life, such as the son in "God of War", Ellie in "The Last of Us", or Elizabeth in "BioShock",
or the game here,
there are actually companion NPCs.
This type of NPC can generally reduce the player's loneliness in the process of playing stand-alone games, and can play a role in promoting key plots.
And BT in "Titanfall" is undoubtedly this type of character.
In fact, Mou Feng understands these principles.
After all, he is also a practitioner in the game industry.
However,
no matter how much he knows,
at this moment, these experiences are useless.
Because when he puts himself in the player's perspective, the emotional part of human beings completely prevails.
Especially.
In this level.
Jack Cooper, played by the player,
just lost BT, reunited with BT, and then lost it again...
It can be said that how touching the reunion of Cooper and BT is, how sad it is in the end.
The emotional line extends from the beginning to the end, from the beginning of the level to the end.
In this case.
How could he look at it rationally...
"Our mission saved the planet Harmony."
"The rebels call this their headquarters, and millions of people call this place home."
"Commander Briggs said I'll be receiving a new Titan..."
"I don't know... what it feels like to have a new Titan, but... I quite like the old one."
"Pilot Jack Cooper, end call."
At the end of the game.
Jack Cooper's voice sounded again.
It woke up Mou Feng.
He turned his eyes back to the screen.
When he heard Jack Cooper's slightly hesitant voice at the end.
He took a deep breath, took off his glasses, and wiped his face hard.
Damn...
He really wanted to play the next level at this moment.
Very much.
Even if it was only one level.
How much he wanted to see BT reappear.
Jack Cooper said that sentence again: "I'm glad you're back alive, BT."
...
That night.
Because the single-player process of "Titanfall" is not very long.
So most players have completed it.
And so many players have completed it.
The impact on the player community... can be imagined.
Players don't even care about whether there are spoilers or not.
As soon as I opened the forum,
the screen was full of BTs...
[BT... Before the Chinese New Year, I played the game until I cried! I really couldn't help it! ]
[The level design is like a textbook... Not only is it fun, but there are also the best companion NPCs so far, but the fun in the beginning is as touching and sad as the end...
Protocol Three, protect the Pilot... At the end, I saw BT throw me out, I really couldn't help it. ]
[Before playing, Robot Wars, fun game. After playing... [burst into tears][burst into tears][burst into tears]! ]
[Before playing, everyone thought that the mechas in the game were tools, and everyone said that the mechas in the mecha wars were tools! But how can there be such tools... [crying]]
[BTs are obviously just robots, but they are more touching than any humanoid NPCs. It's really worth playing. In addition, 'trust me'... This sentence is probably the most impressive sentence for me this year. ]
[I finished the game, and I can't express my feelings. The game is really good... The charm of the game was revealed at the last moment. It was the first time I played the game and tears welled up in my eyes. 】
【What is a game? Linmu Studio really knows it... I recommend everyone to try this game, maybe you will get the answer... Really, it's great. 】
【Don't worry about BT, I'm not going anywhere [cry]][cry][cry]】
【Linmu Studio!!! Lin Yao!!! Give me back my BT!!! [cry]】
【……】
This day
undoubtedly belongs to "Titanfall".
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao sat in her seat, looking at the posts posted by players on the forum, smiled gently, and then stretched hard.
"Happy New Year, players."
