On the day of February 5th, the news of the launch of CSOL was discussed everywhere in major schools and on the Internet.

"CS network version opens today.,Let's go to the Internet café at noon?If it's fun.,I won't come to class in the afternoon.,Anyway, there's no important class.。 ”

"It seems to be ten o'clock, hey, if I hadn't been able to leave in the morning, I would have gone to play a long time ago. ”

"Last night on the forum, I saw that many people deliberately took a day off today, just to take it as soon as possible. ”

"Have you heard, there are 500,000 or 600,000 people on CSOL's server alone! Oh my God, I've never seen so many people play online games. ”

"Facebook games are so awesome, I have made a total of two online games, one is better than the other! World of Warcraft serves tens of thousands of people, and it is so lively that it is hard to imagine what a server of 500,000 or 600,000 people will be like. ”

"Are you stupid, can CSOL be compared with World of Warcraft? No matter how many people there are on the CSOL server, you can't see it, a map is at most thirty-two players, and you can never see thirty-three players appear at the same time! World of Warcraft is different, as long as you can be computer-strong, you can see hundreds or even thousands of people on the same map!"

This player is still relatively professional, and indeed, the difficulty of setting up CSOL and World of Warcraft servers is indeed not a grade.

The characteristics of the CSOL game determine that its server requirements are not so high, and hundreds of thousands of people are just a gimmick in the final analysis. Due to the limitation of players' internet speed, the maximum number of players per game in CS and CSOL games, including platform battles, is 32.

Like the player said, even if you have millions of people on a server, you won't see thirty-three......

But there is one thing he didn't say, that is, there are still great benefits to the server with more people, at least it is a second speed when matched!

There is absolutely no waiting for a few minutes.

In this kind of battle game, the most feared thing is that you can't match the player.

Therefore, CSOL, a server with a large number of people, is still commendable.

............

At ten o'clock in the morning, CSOL officially started!

The first batch of servers released was only six. China Telecom South Zone 1 and Zone 2, North Zone 1 and Zone 2, China Netcom South Zone 1, North Zone 1.

Maximum number of registrations per server...... 500,000!

And this upper limit is elastic, if the players of any server are not active enough, then you can also open up the registration and introduce fresh blood.

When the server was first launched, players were most active and had the longest online time, so a cap of 500,000 was set. After the later stage is stabilized, these regions can still be released for registration.

And CSOL has another advantage over games like World of Warcraft and Legends, that is, the old area does not worry about new players.

If a game like World of Warcraft and Legends is opened in a large area for a month or two or even longer, even if you open up registration again, it is estimated that there will be very few newcomers willing to go. Because the level can't keep up.,Old players are all level capped.,After you enter a new one.,Can't group people to farm monsters.。 Every day, I ask my grandfather to tell my grandmother to find someone to help you, are you tired.

But CSOL is different, this is a shooting battle game, and your level depends on your skills!

As long as your skills are good enough, even if you enter the server half a year later, if you want to advance to the king, it may be a matter of a few days, and there is no difference between old players and new players.

Therefore, after the adoption of new technology, CSOL's large area will not open too much, and the pursuit is to make every large area full of people!

"Brothers, are you ready, let's enter the first telecom area when the service is opened! Play a little more today and strive to raise the rank as soon as possible. In the Internet café outside Jiaotong University, Zhang Liang and several classmates sat side by side, enthusiastically preparing to welcome the opening of CSOL.

Now on the campus of Jiaotong University, Zhang Liang is also a little famous, and he is also a professional player who participated in the 2003 WCG World Finals!

Although his team did not do well, he did not have a chance to reach the quarterfinals, and he did not even appear in the group.

But he also reached the offline finals, and he can be called the top team in China, and he is the only CS professional player in the entire Jiaotong University.

After going to a professional e-sports club, I also earned some money, and the salary plus the competition bonus is counted together, there is a thirty or forty thousand.

So Zhang Liang has a lot of money recently, and he pays for it when he brings his classmates to the Internet café to play, including going out to eat!

Today is the first day of CSOL's launch, and Zhang Liang heard through friends in the professional circle, it is said that this year, that is, the 2004 WCG, the competition will cancel CS and replace it with CSOL!

As an active CS professional player, of course, he must be familiar with this game for the first time, after all, he is still in the club.

If it weren't for the fact that school had just started in the past two days, he would still have to go to the club for training.

............

Zhang Liang received the news that it was correct, and Facebook Games is indeed preparing to replace the CS project with the CSOL project in this year's WCG competition.

Because CS is a game that has been sold for several years, although it is still a global hit, this is a stand-alone game after all, and the sales are basically saturated, and it is impossible to make much contribution to the company's revenue.

But CSOL is different, and CSOL was originally the online version of Half-Life.

If it weren't for Facebook Games' acquisition of Villefort, then what would be launched now is Half-Life II, which is still a single-player game, and there will be no CSOL online.

Now that CSOL has provoked the CS generation, Facebook Games will definitely promote this game, and the CSOL game itself is also very suitable for competitive competitions.

Although the game is much more complicated than CS, the kernel is completely the same, and old CS players want to get started with this new game, which is also very simple, basically log in, and you can play it if you are familiar with it.

After CSOL is launched for a period of time, if the player base is up, Facebook Games will officially announce that in 2004, WCG will use CSOL to replace CS projects.

............

"Brother Liang, this is going to impact the first batch of kings in the national uniform, right?" asked the classmate next to him with a smile.

"Of course, our club has requirements, every player must enter the ranks of the king of the national uniform, otherwise, stay in the team for inspection! The salary will be halved!" Zhang Liang replied.

Professional e-sports clubs are not charity, and they also have strict requirements for players, such as how much time they train each week, and their rank on the Facebook game platform.

If you can't reach it, you will have to enter the inspection list and your salary will be deducted.

It is even possible to guard the water dispenser and be reduced to an alternate player, and if it doesn't, he may be released from his contract and quit the ranks of professional players.

At ten o'clock in the morning, CSOL officially launched, and Zhang Liang had already registered an account, just waiting for this moment.

Successfully rushed into the "Telecom South Zone 1", and the main interface of the game was displayed in front of you.

Different from the original simple main interface of CS, the main interface of CSOL's game is obviously much more beautiful and has many more functions.

However, Zhang Liang was not in a hurry to explore these things, and he had already seen it on the trailer I don't know how many times, and he was already familiar with it.

He went directly to the "bootstrap mission", which is nothing more than to familiarize himself with the basic operation of the game, as well as various systems, and of course, the in-game store......

Zhang Liang took a look at the in-game store, and sure enough, there were all kinds of skins in it, such as gun skins and character costumes.

Some of these things can be obtained for free, while others can only be obtained for money.

However, Zhang Liang is not interested in these for the time being, and it is not too late to come back to these when he has time to rush up the ranks.

After successfully completing the task, Zhang Liang has a real understanding of the game CSOL, and it is the same as CS, the familiar feel of guns, the familiar game map, and the familiar various props are all classic flavors of CS.

But if it's different, it's true.

First of all, this game is much more complicated than CS, not to mention those skins and the like.

What interests Zhang Liang the most is the matchmaking system and rank promotion in the game, these two systems in the game are more refined than those of the Facebook game platform.

You can also check your own record, which has detailed statistics for each match, down to what weapon you used, how much damage you did to which enemy, and even the headshot rate.

These are things that the Facebook game platform did not have in the previous system.

"It won't take long for this game to definitely replace CS!" After having a detailed understanding of the game, Zhang Liang made a conclusion in an affirmative tone.

Obviously, CSOL and CS are games in the same vein, produced by the same company, and even produced by the same production team.

All the advantages of CS have been inherited, and they have been improved where they were lacking in the past.

The quality of such a game, coupled with the vigorous promotion of Facebook games, how can it not be popular.

And don't forget, this game doesn't cost money!

CS stand-alone version has to pay for it.,Although it only costs eighteen yuan to buy it directly in the Facebook game store.,But that's also money.,With these eighteen dollars,Internet cafes are enough to surf the Internet for a few hours......

............

In the country, there are many people who think the same as Zhang Liang, and all veteran CS players have deeply liked this game after playing in CSOL for a while.

And some people who haven't played CS much before, also came in curiously to try it, it doesn't matter if you don't play, most of them have been left behind after playing.

In that era when entertainment was still very monotonous, games were the best entertainment products for young people, and online games were even more attractive because of their social nature.

CSOL is even more of a master, with a very good foundation and a reputation that has long been known.

Coupled with the strong promotion of Facebook games, the bonus of WCG ace tournaments, etc., all this determines that CSOL will attract a lot of players.

On the first day of launch, the six regions were full!

But at this time at Facebook Games, Effie and several executives did not have any smiles on their faces......
