Chapter 347: A hymn of praise

Views:

Listening to the slightly sad BGM in the headphones, Zhang Yi took a long breath.

He did not choose to quit the game immediately as before, because Zhang Yi's mood at this moment has not completely calmed down.

Makarov was successfully killed and the plot of the game has been completed.

But at this time, he didn't feel the joy at all after beating a game like before.

Because none of his comrades who once fought alongside him in the game can come back.

Soap, Xiaoqiang, Ghost...

Recalling his experiences in the game, Zhang Yi felt a little complicated at this moment.

This was the first time he had finished a game and had such a strange feeling.

Looking at the ending credits list, Zhang Yi knew that the story of Modern Warfare was over.

But there is still much to think about in the whole story.

Each character has his own ending.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is just like a movie, with a one-way linear ending.

There are no multiple endings like Dark Souls.

It's like a movie.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" simply tells a story.

There is no absolute protagonist in this story. Neither Soap nor Xiaoqiang are the protagonists of this war, including Price, who lived to the end and witnessed the beginning and end of this war, but he is not the protagonist either.

But in this war, everyone is a protagonist, including Soap, Xiaoqiang, the Rangers, and all the soldiers who lost their lives, no matter which country they are from.

There are so many things that I want to express my feelings about, but I have no way of talking about them.

The only thing Zhang Yi can be sure of is that "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is undoubtedly a true masterpiece.

The entire game process of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" takes about 22 hours.

Most 3A games with linear plots have a plot process that takes this time. Of course, if you choose the easiest difficulty, you can pass all levels directly.

But for Zhang Yi, it felt like a long time had passed.

The plot of the entire game takes place in many countries in Europe and Asia, and the story starts from the Bering Strait and ends in Arabia.

The scenes during the period are also different, including cities, tropical rainforests, small towns, and snow-capped mountains.

Carefully recalling the comrades along the way made Zhang Yi endlessly emotional.

"In the end, only Captain Price survived."

After exiting the game, Zhang Yi expressed his emotion.

sas to the 141st Special Forces Group.

After all, Captain Price was the only one left.

It was not just Zhang Yi who was deeply moved.

All players who have experienced "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" have this feeling.

From the very beginning, I was attracted by the shocking war scenes.

But as the plot progresses, the international situation becomes complicated.

There are also all kinds of careerist conspiracies.

and the sacrifices of the heroic soldiers of the 141st Special Forces Group and other units.

They all made countless players cry.

All players, without exception, were infected by the plot of the game.

Even at the end, I saw Captain Price lighting his cigar with trembling hands.

Countless players have tears in their eyes. This is an emotion that only players who have played Modern Warfare can feel.

And such an emotion can only be achieved by games, which are different from books, movies and television, and are an artistic carrier that truly allows players to immerse themselves in the story and interact with the characters.

When telling the story, the player controls the protagonist in the game and talks and interacts with the surrounding characters.

The sense of substitution generated in this way will be even stronger.

This is why many people call video games the ninth art.

… … … …

After all three games of the game were launched, major media participated in the rating of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

It received unanimously high ratings, and some media even gave it full marks.

At the same time, according to player reviews on the Nebula gaming platform, the score of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is also as high as 9.5 points.

As for the drag on some scores, it was mainly due to low scores from emotional players.

After all, the sacrifices of Soap, Xiaoqiang, Ghost and others can be said to have broken the hearts of many players.

But this also happens to prove that "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is a great success in narrative, and it successfully mobilizes an emotion among players.

Different from other FPS games, a character is just a one-man show from the beginning to the end.

In "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", players do not control just one character, but multiple characters.

At first, players thought that the protagonist was Soap, but behind them there were the Lighthouse National Line and the Russian Federation Line.

It can be said that "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is not a one-man show of one character.

Just like the word 'war' exists in the game, this is war.

A brutal war.

And sacrifice is inevitable.

Just as players discuss the plot of the game, designers in the game industry are amazed by the design of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" for FPS games.

Both the levels and the narrative are eye-opening.

For game media, they want to dig out deeper content.

The original version of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" actually contained some content that beautified the United States, otherwise it would not have become a propaganda game for American military recruitment.

For example, Makarov gas attacks Europe, and then America's Delta Force saves the world.

In the parallel world, Chen Xu made the game more neutral in terms of details and plot.

At least it's not a hymn for anyone, it's just about SAS and the 141st Special Forces, and what happened in this catastrophe, that's all.

Gamespot, a veteran media in the industry, commented this way.

'Modern FPS-themed games are actually not uncommon. But there are few games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. '

'The huge visual experience brings only shock after personal experience, especially the carefully designed levels, which fully demonstrates what modern warfare is. '

'It does not mean that modern weapons such as aircraft, tanks, and rocket launchers are modern warfare. Elite combat and information network warfare can immediately make the war one-sided by containing the enemy's information network. '

' And excitement and tension are the main themes of the game. The bullet-filled battlefield, the fall of the White House, the nuclear bombing of the city, the collapse of the Eiffel Tower, all kinds of shocking scenes, make players feel like they have watched a blockbuster movie. '

'Those are the interesting things about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but what really makes it stand out is its story. '

'In the game, Nebula Game makes us think about war. '

'It doesn't tell us what we can and cannot do. It just uses the most direct plot of the game to tell us what the war will bring. '

'Thirty thousand Marines died in battle, and countless innocent people died in the United States, the Russian Federation, and many European countries. From SAS to 141, Price was the only one. '

'The war took away countless lives, but what did it bring? The answer is nothing. '

'And the player is not the omnipotent protagonist in the movie. He does not have an aura of immortality and cannot save the day every time. Soap, Xiaoqiang, Ghost, and Yuri are all victims of this war. '

Along with the gamespot review comes out.

Many other industry authoritative media have also issued relevant review articles.

Mainly focused on one direction, anti-war ideas.

You don’t care whether it exists or not, but as long as everyone says so, it must exist.
