After all, the first part has already raised the expectations of countless players.
And the second part, which is now on the market, also did not disappoint the players.
If we just talk about the process of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
Just one piece is not very long.
Although Chen Xu has made some optimizations to the game levels and maps, and many of the images in the original version were only replaced by satellite maps and narration, Chen Xu specially produced exquisite CG animations.
It is mainly used to enrich players' feelings for the characters in the game and allow players to resonate with them.
In this way, players will have a more immersive experience when the character makes a heroic sacrifice.
Since a knife is needed, the knife cannot be used lightly, it must be inserted hard and deep.
Otherwise, it would be a shame for the players to spend their money.
The whole process is played on the normal difficulty level at the level of an ordinary FPS player.
From start to finish it takes about 8 hours.
Players can basically complete the plot in just one day.
Players basically have no objections to this, because Chen Xu has made it clear before that this is a trilogy.
Moreover, the three parts combined, the process of more than 20 hours, is actually much longer than most game processes.
After all, this is a threaded game, and Chen Xu has not added any collection elements or challenge elements to the main line of the game.
These contents are placed in an additional option.
In general threaded games, the main plot basically lasts about 12-18 hours.
The reason why it takes thirty or forty hours to complete the level, or even longer.
The main thing is that there will be some mini-games or collectible elements in the game.
But these contents are absolutely not allowed to appear in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", at least in the main storyline.
Level design and plot, Call of Duty perfectly combine them.
Let players truly feel that NPCs are no longer cold tools, but trustworthy comrades and brothers.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that countless players online are discussing the stories in the game.
'I'm mad! Never has one made me so crazy! I have been playing this game for nearly 10 hours, and I even hit the limit of play time in the VR game warehouse. '
'Brother in front of you, you are not alone! '
'I'm really excited, especially the level design in the game, it's perfect! And the level with the massacre at the airport was really shocking! This is a war game, but after playing it, I only have one thought: May the world be peaceful! '
'+1, it seems like this is a war game, but in fact the cruelty of war is hard for me to accept. '
'Yes, the war has taken away too many of our comrades! Gates, Griggs, Xiaoqiang and Ghost! '
'There are also Paul Jackson and Allen. Although they don't have many scenes, they should not be forgotten! '
'Yes, that's right, every character deserves to be remembered, including the astronaut in space! '
'Everything is so perfect, but why do you want Ghost and Xiao Qiang to die? Why should Gates and Griggs be sacrificed? ? '
'I hope there won't be any more deaths in the third part! '
'Yes, my heart can no longer bear this grief! Especially when the knife was inserted into Soap at the end, I felt that it was not only Soap who was stabbed but also me! '
'Yes, old thief Chen Xu is so evil! He says he is a warrior of love, but when it comes to abusing us players, he becomes more cruel every time! '
'Brother, it used to be physics and now it's magic! '
'Magic hammer, that's because you haven't played the veteran difficulty. I collapsed in the slums on the veteran difficulty! This is a double whammy! In the past, "Dark Souls" and "Monster Hunter: World" were so difficult that I didn't want to play them! But now "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" does not play the highest difficulty, you can shoot to your heart's content, but the old thief is making a fuss about the plot! '
'Fuck, when you say that, the old thief has ulterior motives! '
'Resist the old thieves! No more deaths in the last game! '
… … …
The enthusiasm of players is extremely high, and designers in the entire game industry are also amazed.
Players play, that is simply playing the game.
But for designers in the game industry, there is a lot to see.
First of all, in terms of graphics, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is undoubtedly the first echelon of the current FPS genre.
It's not impossible to imitate this area. It's easy to spend money to make CG like Nebula Games and become an 'animation company'.
What's more important is the game content. In the level design of Modern Warfare, it can be said that the elements are too rich.
Stance, climbing, sneaking, escaping, and chasing, the content is simply not too rich.
In combination with the excellent shooting feel, astonishing scenes and atmosphere creation.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is almost flawless.
Watching countless players online discussing the situation of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
In atrai, Howard Warsaw is in bad shape.
Although there is no upper limit for "Operation Storm" yet, he knows that the winner has already been decided.
Especially after he personally experienced "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", he knew that "Operation Storm" was no match for it.
He himself has a lot of say in the quality of the "Operation Storm" game.
Although atrai said that they should push forward the game project quickly and let them come out to compete with Nebula Games.
But he is not stupid. If he works overtime, he works overtime, and if he rushes to meet the deadline, he will still be the one to take the blame.
As for the project progress not being kept up
Then you can take him off and replace him, he will be happy like this.
But obviously atrai is just paying lip service.
And now
Although the game progress has been improved, it can be judged based on the performance of Howard Warsaw.
This thing is completely incomparable to "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
From his perspective, the quality is indeed good. He has reproduced some of the content in the movie relatively well, expanded the timeline, and added a lot of new content.
From a simple point of view, it is actually enough.
But compared with "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", various problems suddenly became apparent.
The first is the plot. The game "Operation Storm" is based on the plot of the original book and movie, with slight expansions.
This can indeed attract fans of the original work, but the key is that it has great limitations.
In terms of layout, it is obviously not as good as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
The second thing is about the characters in the game. He played both Modern Warfare parts immediately. Even later, because of the death of Ghost and Xiaoqiang, he hated Chen Xu so much that he hated Chen Xu. The damn guy actually wrote these two characters to death. Got it!
As for "Operation Storm", he had to admit that, except for the protagonist, the other characters were basically accessories.
To put it simply, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is a group drama, and each NPC player has a flesh-and-blood feel.
"Operation Storm" is the protagonist's one-man show.
Normally, a one-man show actually makes players feel more immersed than a group show, but "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" does it very well.
There may even be a unilateral crushing.
For these reasons, atrai soon announced an announcement.
That is to say, the release date has been postponed to July 10.
Players who like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" don't care much about this delay.
But players who had been looking forward to "Operation Storm" before were just not happy.
What does it mean
Delayed
Give in
Suddenly, many players who had been looking forward to it had their confidence plummeted.
And atrai is also suffering from something he can't tell.
What can be done
Bite the bullet
When the time comes to compare the two, and with the popularity of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", their "Operation Storm" brains will probably be beaten out.
It's better to pretend to be a grandson now and admit that you are a coward.
A month later, another hero.
And just the day after atrai announced the ticket bounce, something happened that made many players happy.
That means Nebula Games has also announced a ticket delay!
It's just that it's not a delayed bounce, but a reverse bounce.
The third part of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", which was originally announced to be launched on June 20th, is now directly announced to be launched on June 14th.
