"Fight with me! It's noisy! The king of the Gulag prison is never ashamed. There is no need to raise money to save me. Just raise the money and let Zhang Zhang do it!"
After defeating his opponent from the Gulag prison and parachuting again, Song Ren's voice was loud.
"Haha, no need! I fought my way out too!" Zhang Yi said that he had also won.
"Just in time, I've collected 8,000 yuan. I'll call for an airdrop to get all the weapons for everyone, and I can also buy a pack of decks." Wang Han, who was doing tasks everywhere on the map, said.
"Damn it, isn't this box, Lao Zhang, the poor guy we killed before? You licked it for two minutes before you died, and now you want to lick it again? In total, there is only a white M13, a shock fragmentation grenade, and a Pile bullets, how many times do you want to lick it?" Song Ren saw Zhang Yi licking a glowing box and immediately went over to smell it.
Then when he saw what was inside, Song Ren was speechless.
"You don't understand. This is the trophy I killed. I don't have to pick it up, but I have to taste it." Zhang Yi said matter-of-factly.
"Do you think we can win this game?" Wang Han called for an airdrop and asked.
"It's necessary!" Song Ren ran to the airdrop position and waited for the airdrop box to fall.
Although he had said this countless times in the past four hours.
"However, this game is really poisonous! I calculated that after playing for more than four hours, I killed less than 20 people. This still includes those killed in prison. But the more I play, the more I want to play." Zhang Yi said with emotion.
… … …
It’s not just Zhang Yi who has this kind of player, many players who experience War Zone feel this way.
There is gradually more and more content about the 'War Zone' mode on the Internet.
Many players are discussing related topics.
“I feel like the new mode of War Zone is really fun!”
"Haha, I've been playing all afternoon. It's really interesting, although I didn't make it into the top ten once."
"Yeah, it's very different from ordinary FPS."
"I think it shouldn't be called War Zone, it should be called "Call of Duty: My Brother 4500" or "Call of Duty: My Brother 9000"."
"4500? 9000 yuan? What do you mean?"
"It's the first time you die in the game. You can go to the prison for a 1v1, and you can get out if you win. If you fail, as long as your teammates are still alive, you can be resurrected for 4,500 yuan. For two people, it's 9,000 yuan."
"Haha, this setting is so interesting. Living teammates do nothing, but dead teammates have a full sense of existence."
"To be honest, if this game wasn't about going to the Gulag and boxing, it would be meaningless."
Many players were discussing it enthusiastically.
At the beginning, many players did not have much impression of the new mode of War Zone.
Because it feels like it's just average and doesn't have much special features.
But once they actually started playing it, these players discovered that this game is really fun to play on their own.
Vehicles, search weapons, all kinds of modern equipment, and parachuting.
In fact, these game settings are not unseen in other FPS games.
But the combination of them all, especially with the poisonous trap-raising gameplay, makes all players feel a little bit over the top.
They feel completely different from traditional FPS, and every game is full of freshness.
In traditional FPS games, there is actually not much suspense.
Basically, I got into the game and played a game or two.
It’s almost clear which side will win this game.
Because the difference between them is all on the surface.
It is destined to win or lose if you continue to fight. It's just that some weak players can use Yin people to complete the kills and get a better experience than RTS.
But 'War Zone' gives players some very different feelings.
One of the most intuitive feelings is that there is content to play at every moment.
Although there is only one map named Verdansk so far, this map is really too big.
In addition, each game selects a different area, each game has a different route, each game encounters a different number of enemies, the poisonous circle refreshed each time, and the supplies and firearms in each house are different.
This brings enough freshness to players.
There are even many players who specifically look for some clothes in the game.
These are also some elements that Chen Xu specifically added that are different from his previous life.
In addition to third-party factors such as plug-ins, poor optimization, and the diversion of similar works, there is another very important reason why the battle royale games in the previous life have turned from prosperity to decline.
That is, there is never anything new. For example, in the early days of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, it took more than a year for the truly updated maps, firearms, and action systems such as climbing to appear, and the day lily became cold.
This resulted in a lack of fresh elements in the game. In the end, the players who stayed in the game were more likely to be players who liked this kind of massacre mode and preferred this art style.
Of course, there are also many players who are too lazy to try other Taobao games and don’t want to incur more learning costs.
Looking back at "Fortnite", it can be said that this is the most lively game among the battle royale games.
All kinds of linkages will be added to you as long as they are popular.
Plus a small update once a week and a major update once a month.
Regardless of whether the content of this update is good or not, it does give players more freshness.
This has also made "Fortnite" catch up from behind and become the most popular game in the battle royale category.
Regarding war zones, Chen Xu believed that he would definitely have a priority advantage in the early stage.
But this advantage will obviously not last forever. What is needed next is to use a variety of content to keep players fresh about the game.
It’s about the gameplay, it’s about the whole life.
For example, in the currently open version, there will be a lot of Easter egg content hidden in each scene in the game.
Hospitals, mines, farms, airports, prisons, military bases, TV stations, and other places all have corresponding clothes and accessories. Players can find skins that are not available in these malls, and then put them on their characters to become Buddhas. Dansko's most handsome cub.
From the content point of view, this seems a bit unseemly, but as a follow-up method to "War Zone", it can be said that it is heading in the direction of entertainment.
Of course, compared to Fortnite in the previous life, considering the game’s art style and theme, it’s definitely not possible to put in any linkages.
For example, it is difficult to link up Nebula Games' popular masterpieces "Monster Hunter: World" and "Dark Souls".
But as a realistic theme, it seems that it is not impossible to launch an event involving the invasion of Cybertronian Decepticons when there is an opportunity in the future.
But these are all subsequent operational arrangements.
At least at this stage, with the launch of 'War Zone' and players trying this battle royale gameplay for the first time.
Its popularity is no worse than when the Modern Warfare trilogy was first launched.
