"Second Shijie" closed beta.

On September 1, 24, "Shijie Wars" conducted the world's first closed beta. At this time, there are still more than 3 months before the official public beta of "Shijie Wars" on January 1, 25. For the sub-beta of "Shijie Wars", "Second Shijie" carried out all-round publicity early.

Domestically, with the comprehensive coverage of "Tencent", almost every QQ user can see the news of the first internal test of "Shijie Wars" online, while abroad, Lin Feng used his "FSN-HUSTN" TV station and "Houston Chronicle" to carry out comprehensive publicity. This is also the first time in the history of the game that an online game has been promoted on such a large scale on television, and it is only the first closed beta of the game.

Early on, players around the world who are interested in "Shijie Wars" downloaded the client and waited for the first global beta test of "Shijie Wars".

"Boss, how many people do you say will participate in the closed beta this time?" Wu Zhaopu asked Lin Feng a little nervously.

Although this is only an internal test, there is no gain or loss, but Wu Zhaopu is still nervous. After all, the number of players in the closed beta is related to the number of players in the future open beta. The higher the number of players in the closed beta, the greater the number of players in the open beta. This is directly proportional.

"Don't worry. Now that the global number of downloads of the "Shijie Wars" closed beta client has exceeded 100 million, I believe that there must be a lot of closed beta players. Now I'm not worried about whether there are enough players in the closed beta and whether they can meet our requirements, on the contrary, I'm worried that there are too many players in the closed beta and our server can't be loaded!" Lin Feng said with a serious expression.

For now, the reason for this closed beta test, in addition to testing whether there is a BU in "Shijie Wars", is important to test how much player data traffic can be carried when "Shijie Wars" is launched in the global interconnection. This is directly related to the future prospects of "Shijie Wars".

At present, for this internal test, "Second Shijie" has mobilized a total of 1 level computers. Among them, the Shanghai headquarters has as many as 5 computers to process all kinds of data and traffic from all over the world. The Asian and Japanese divisions have 3 units, the Korean branch has 2 units, the Taiwan branch has 2 units, the Hong Kong branch has 1 unit, the European division has 15 units, the U.S. branch has 2 units, the Australia branch has 3 units, and the newly established African branch has 4 units.

This 1-level computer will be responsible for all the data and traffic processing of this closed beta of "Shijie Wars". According to theoretical calculations, one computer is enough to calculate the birth and destruction of the universe. But in Lin Feng's opinion, it may not be enough to deal with the data of "Shijie Wars". You know, if 100 million people really participate in this closed beta, then the data will be a huge astronomical number. Especially once the national war test system is turned on, its data traffic is huge enough to make any computer tremble. Of course, if the computer has a sense.

Of course, there is another point that is quite important in this test. That is the performance of the player's computer, whether it can withstand the game graphics and the requirements of the national war of "Shijie Wars". After all, as a first-person shooter online game, the smoothness of "Shijie Wars" is key. If the game isn't smooth enough, then all players won't have fun playing. The picture is card by card, who will be interested in playing!

Therefore, this closed beta is very important.

"But, boss, you chose a day that made all the teachers in the country sore for their eggs. Wu Zhaopu suddenly quipped.

Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. September 1st is Teacher's Day.,I didn't deliberately choose this day for the open beta of "Shijie Wars", it's just a coincidence. I hope the teachers in China don't scold me!" Lin Feng mourned silently.

Obviously, Lin Feng is definitely the one who is referring to today. Originally, today's Teacher's Day, the teacher's holiday, should be happy. On this day, the school will give teachers a variety of benefits, and some even hold tours, so that teachers can have a happy festival. And the students will also send greeting cards to say that the teacher has worked hard.

This would have been a very beautiful haode thing. But today, because of the closed beta of "Shijie Wars", many students no longer give their teachers greeting cards, but "Shijie Wars" closed beta accounts. Originally, teachers have always opposed students playing games, after all, academics are important. Games, games, playthings. The so-called young man is sad if he doesn't work hard, can he play a game for a hundred points? Can he play a Tsinghua University and Peking University?

As a result, these teachers are still teaching Chunchun, but the students directly sent the game beta account, you say that you are not angry. Especially since today is Friday, which is the weekend. Originally, many schools planned to let teachers only attend classes for half a day, and then go to spend a long vacation together and play for two and a half days. Perhaps because of this, many students got the news. As a result, at 9 a.m., students who are not usually very interested in learning will go straight to class. As for those who are more timid and are not bad students in the eyes of the teacher, they wrote a leave note.

As a result, there were 6 students in a class, 8 people in stilt class, 16 people with a cold and fever, 1 person with a serious illness in the family, 6 people whose parents had something to do with them, three people whose reasons were unknown, and only 2 people left in the huge classroom. The empty teacher made the teacher who was about to go on vacation feel depressed. Of course, from the visual point of view, it is better to look good with only 2 people left, because all of them are girls!

"If the young man does not work hard, the boss will be sad. You remember that your efforts today will bring you innumerable rewards in the future. Compared to these skipping students, you will definitely not regret staying in the classroom today. The teacher said sternly.

The two girls nodded. Of course, as for whether I agree with the teacher's words, I don't know. Because a girl muttered that Lin Feng's grades were not good, she is now shijie rich. Why do we learn so much? What's more, if we girls learn well, it is better to marry well!

The teacher immediately decided to take a leave of absence and go on vacation to let himself have a happy Teacher's Day. Otherwise, at the end of this day, he may not know what he will be angry about.

At this time, the major Internet cafes were already full of people. Everyone's computers are blue and white, everyone has turned on the computer, waiting for the first closed beta of "Shijie Wars".

"I said Brother Niu, what kind of game do you think "Shijie Wars" will be? Since the announcement of "Shijie Wars" in "Second Shijie", I've been looking forward to it! I've been waiting for 3 years. A man said with a cigarette in his mouth.

"I don't know. But I know a $1.5 billion game, and it's going to be a good game. I'd like to see the map bigger and the gameplay freer, and that's great. The man known as Brother Niu said.

"That's for sure. A player on the side interjected, "Did you know that Shijie Wars is a complete replica of the map of major cities around the world, at a scale of almost 1:1, so the map will be the largest game map ever." This time we can play with confidence, and we will never worry about the small map, maybe we will also worry about the large map. ”

Everyone nodded. However, in this kind of game, the bigger the map, the better.

According to the official information released by "Second Shijie", "Shijie Wars" has produced a total of 3 maps of cities around the world. 3 cities, that's such an impressive number, even if you put them together, the map will amaze the player. What's more, in addition to the city, there are all kinds of wilderness, deserts, mountains, lakes, and oceans in "Shijie Wars". It can be said that the size of the map is absolutely unprecedented.

"You say, in this video, players can control planes, tanks, and ships, but will we really be able to control these things?" muttered a player watching the game's promotional video.

Everyone looked at the promotional video of the game and looked in agreement. If the map of this game is not only what players expect, but also the ability to control modern weapons such as planes, tanks, and ships, it is also another highlight that players look forward to. Think about what a spectacular scene it was in the sky, countless planes engaged in tragic air battles, tanks on the ground engaged in fierce shelling, and ships in the water looking at each other from afar and firing torpedoes at each other.

Thinking about this scene, all the players were excited.

"There is also a national war! You say, will it really be as it says in the game, can you destroy the country? If it works, I will be the first to destroy little Japan. One player clenched his fist and said.

All players are looking forward to it. This is what "Shijie Wars" is looking forward to.

Can there really be a national war?

When the clock struck 9 a.m. on September 1st, all computer screens flashed out of the login window for the closed beta of Shijie Wars.

All players enter their accounts and passwords at the first time. After all, this is an internal beta, although the "second shijie" says that there is no limit to the number of players in the closed beta, but "shijie wars" is a global interconnection after all, the first time that it is truly globally connected. There is only one large section, there is no second section, and all players play on a single game server, which is unprecedented. Although "Second Shijie" said that a level 1 computer was prepared for this closed beta, who knows if there will be too many players to log in, so everyone is desperately squeezing into the game as soon as possible.

With a burst of exhilarating and exciting music, players finally entered the game that has been open for nearly 3 years and has invested $1.5 billion.

The screen goes black, and after 5 seconds, the game's intro animation appears.

The world is out of my generation, and the years of entering the rivers and lakes are urging. The hegemony of the dynasty is talking and laughing, and it is better than a drunk in the world! Lifting a sword and riding a ghost rain, the white bones are like mountain birds flying in shock. Dust is like a tide, people are like water, only sigh a few people in the rivers and lakes! The night rain fights the lonely city in all directions, and the sword qi of Pingming looks at the sound of the sword.

The chivalrous bones have not been found for thousands of years, and the drunken autumn wind of blue blood and red leaves reflects this magnificent but embarrassing poem in the eyes of all players.

For a while, all players experienced the vigor of the battlefield, as well as the ruthlessness of the battlefield and the desolation behind it. Although the player's mood suddenly fell, it undoubtedly planted the seeds for the excitement that followed.

A video of the artillery fire that followed, in which all kinds of warplanes were soaring in the sky, missiles were whizzing away in the sky, and one after another was hit in the sky and exploded violently; on the earth, tanks rumbled past, the earth trembled, and the mountains and rivers trembled, and then the tanks roared violently, and then the tanks were blown up one after another, and the whole land was full of gunsmoke, and thick smoke was billowing everywhere. At this time, soldiers in various suits rushed out from behind the tank, roaring, shouting, shouting, rushing towards the enemy camp, and a hand-to-hand encounter was inevitable.

On the other side, in the sea. Ships shoot all kinds of torpedoes, and compete with Imperial ships for sea supremacy. At the bottom of the sea, submarines swim around like ghosts, looking for an opportunity for Haode to attack. And in the depths of the ocean, aircraft carriers lined up and launched a fierce battle in the depths of the ocean

The four big characters of "Shijie Wars" flashed in front of all players.

Fight for justice! Fight for ideals! Fight for mission! The three juxtaposed sentences in the picture aroused the hearts of all players, and at this moment, whether it was an Internet café or a user's home in the community, there was an unprecedented roar.

All players were infected by the opening animation of the closed beta of "Shijie Wars", and at this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, to enter the game and participate in Shijie Wars. Return to the war years that made all the men tremble, to defend the homeland and the country! to expand the territory! to make immortal achievements!

After the game's excessively long animation ends, the player goes straight to the game. Since it is a closed beta version, there are no more complicated and cumbersome options in the open beta version, players just need to simply choose a few options. For example, choosing an assault or a sniper, which weapon to specialize in, choosing which vehicle to specialize in, whether it is a tank, an airplane or a ship, and so on are simple choices.

Then, the screen went black and the hard drive began to read wildly.

After a full minute, the screen flashes again, and the players appear on the map according to their respective nationality and their respective login locations.

"Is this a game?" the players were stunned when they entered the game.

3D games that players have played a lot. Whether it's a single-player game or an online game, players have played many, many games. For the game map, that's all too familiar. But at this moment, they are all stupid. Stupid just because of a game map. It's not that players are alone, it's that this map is too shocking.

Wilds: All players have a spawn location in the wilds. But this wilderness is not the kind of wilderness in an ordinary game, but a wilderness that seems to be the real shijie. Depending on the location, the player is in a different environment, but one thing is the same.

Players in the plains can see a flat green space, but the green space here is not completely flat like other games, it has ups and downs, with bumps and bumps, but it is relatively plain, not an absolute plain like other games. And it's not all meadow, there are all kinds of trees, and they are all familiar trees. There are also various roads that give the impression that you are not far away.

And some are on the seaside, the vast ocean in the distance, the craggy rocks, and the noisy sound of the waves seem to make the player feel like they are on the seaside.

As for the players in the mountains, it was shocking. The ethereal clouds in the distance, the trees in the distance, and the rugged mountain roads all make players wonder if they are playing a game or reading a National Geographic travel magazine.

All players sighed in unison. Of course, I don't forget to add that this is only an internal test.

At this point, as all players enter the game, the entire "Second Shijie" goes into high alert, and everyone who can twitch is mobilized to monitor for any possible trace of anomalies in Shijie Wars.

"It's finally in the closed beta, it's finally in the closed beta!" Min Wu Li, the "head of the fourth game opening department" who was in charge of opening "Shijie Wars" (there was a mistake in the previous chapter, Jee Raymond should be the "head of the fifth game opening department", not the "head of the fourth game opening department") shivered nervously.

This game has exhausted him for nearly three years to start a group in this game. And his game opening group is not only the number of people in the "second shijie" game opening, but also the amount of funds that are called, if they can't succeed, then they will be shameless at the beginning of the game. Therefore, although this is only an internal test, Minwu-Lee is still very nervous.

"Minwu, don't be too nervous. You have to believe in your own strength!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Lin, if you think about it, all players around the world are playing on one server, how can I not be nervous. Think about it, hundreds of millions of players around the world are playing on the same game server, and a little bit of BU will affect players around the world. This is no joke. "Min Wu-Lee is walking around, and at the moment he has been tested internally, and he can't change anything, he can only pray, hoping that there will be no heavy U.

Of course, you should also pray that players can show some bu, so that when the official open beta is completed, it will be perfect.

Lin Feng smiled. It also makes sense not to be allergic to Wu-Li nervousness. For "Shijie Wars", the whole company, who would not be nervous. A game with an investment of $1.5 billion, if it were changed to another company, it would be enough to open at least one masterpiece, but the "second shijie" was used to open a game, which would make anyone nervous. Even Lin Feng, who is used to having a lot of money around his waist, is just as nervous.

However, Lin Feng's nervousness is not about money, but about whether the game can provide all players with a real enough Shijie battle battlefield.

"Mr. Wu, how many beta players are there in the game now?" Lin Feng asked.

Wu Zhaopu entered a set of numbers on the keyboard, and after a few seconds, Wu Zhaopu was stunned, his eyes were almost as big as Zhao Wei, and after half a day, he calmed down, and then quietly told Boss Lin Feng that at this moment, the internal beta players of "Shijie Wars" have exceeded 1.3 billion worldwide.

Lin Fenggang was still laughing at Wu Zhaopu for how he reacted so much when he looked at the number of online players, and he was a little laughing at him for making a fuss, and at this moment Lin Feng knew why Wu Zhaopu was making such a fuss. With 1.3 billion players online, this is more than the number of people online for any game in the "second shijie", and even the casual entertainment game "Farm Frenzy" is far from being comparable to "Shijie Wars".

1.3 billion people, my dear, what a staggering number. You know, this is just a closed beta! a closed beta that can't keep records and can't experience the game perfectly. It can attract 1.3 billion players for closed beta, obviously, as long as "Shijie Wars" does not have a heavy U and the balance is good enough, then "Shijie Wars" will undoubtedly become the most popular game in history. Remember, it's a game, it's not an online game, it's a game. It is a popular game among online games and stand-alone games. In terms of the number of players in the current closed beta, it is only a little less than several casual mini-games in the history of the game, such as "Tetris", "Minesweeper" and other games.

1.3 billion! Lin Feng exclaimed. Secretly glad that he had asked Wu Zhaopu not to display the number of players in the closed beta of "Shijie Wars" on the company's online number bulletin board, which was definitely a pretty wise choice. Otherwise, when everyone knows that there are 1.3 billion closed beta players in "Shijie Wars", I am afraid they will be more nervous.

Originally, there were all the grass and trees inside the "Second Shijie", especially the Cohen and others in the "Fourth Game Opening" and "Shijie Wars" and "Cloud Computing", and the strings were all broken, for fear of a little mistake. If such a horrific number were to be released again, their string would break.

"Secret! This must be kept secret!" Lin Feng hurriedly ordered.

Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily. But there was a burst of joy in his eyes.

"Boss, I'm afraid that number will be higher when the official public beta is open next year!haha, you say, there will be hundreds of millions of people playing our game by then. If more than 500 million people play our game, my God, our company can make tens of millions of dollars every day. Wu Zhaopu thought of the bright future prospects, and his eyes lit up.

Lin Feng smiled. Yes, if there really could be 500 million people playing, then "Shijie Wars" would be a great event. But now it's the next step that matters. Right now, many players are just in the wilderness, and the huge wilderness map separates all the players, and when the players are all in the city, that's the key.

Compared to the real wilderness, the huge city is undoubtedly more real, which is a 1:1 imitation of the current city. And the absolutely real city is one of the killer features of "Shijie Wars".

Run! Keep running! All players run towards a point of light on the radar. According to the display, this point of light is the city where the closed beta players gather. Of course, depending on the players in different countries and regions, the assembled cities are not the same.

For example, Chinese players mainly hit cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Wuhan, etc., American players in Washington, New York, Los Angeles, etc., and Japanese players in Osaka, Tokyo and other cities

As they ran, the players began to see other players. And as you run, there are more and more players in the game's field of vision. At first, you can only see a few players running together, and then you can see hundreds of players running in one direction.

Spectacular! Just running in the wilderness is spectacular enough. However, just as the player was hazing, the game screen instantly froze.

Bruce Allen, who was in charge of surveillance-level computer and game data, reported the bad news to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned. Unexpectedly, there were only hundreds of people on the screen at this moment, and the player's screen began to get stuck. But it's no wonder that although "Shijie Wars" uses the world's most advanced 3D dynamic engine (co-developed with the previous "Blizzard"), it is not as good as the "Unreal Engine 2" engine in terms of graphics, but in terms of the smoothness of the picture and the demand for hardware, it is undoubtedly the global haode engine.

But "Shijie War" is too "shijie", the entire wilderness is enough to accommodate a large-scale local war, you say that such a large venue, can the requirements for computer hardware not be high? Therefore, as soon as hundreds of players appear in the player's field of vision, the player's computer can no longer be loaded, and the phenomenon of cards appears.

"Let's use the virtual screen jishu!" Lin Feng commanded.

The virtual picture jishu, which is the "second shijie" according to the previous "virtual restoration" jishu exhibition. While keeping the player's field of view unchanged, the scene can be blurred as much as possible, reducing the number of polygons in the screen, and reducing the player's computer hardware requirements. The jishu is divided into three sections. However, at present, opening the first stage will not affect the player's vision at all, and opening the second stage will cause the distant scene to fog up, which will affect the player's vision, and once the third stage is opened, the player can only see the scene within 5 meters of the career range, and the farther away will be gray, which will seriously affect the player's vision. Of course, there is also a "red vision", once the player turns it on, he will only be able to see the scene within 10 meters, and the rest of the place will not be able to see anything clearly, but the performance requirements for the computer are very low, allowing the player to play the game smoothly.

It's typical to sacrifice image quality in exchange for degree!

Bruce Allen presses the button and enters a set of numbers, and the "virtual picture jishu" is activated. Just as all the players are about to scold their mothers, the graphics become smooth again. All the players cheered. You know, just entered the "Shijie Wars" for a short time, and all players have been shocked by its graphics. Although it's only a closed beta screen, all players have recognized it and are very satisfied. However, if the screen freezes and stutters as a result, the 1 point will immediately become 6 points. When it comes to first-person shooter online games, smoothness always comes first.

At this moment, a line of words appears on the screen, and the player can freely choose the level. The default level is 1, a total of 3 levels plus a red level.

Seeing this line, the player immediately turned on the system options and set the screen. Most players remained at level 1, with only a few players choosing level 2 due to poor computers. As for the third level, there are no players to choose yet. Red is a luxury at the moment.

Seeing the data feedback report, everyone in the "second shijie" breathed a sigh of relief.

"Minwu, that's good!" Lin Feng gave a thumbs up.

Such a great game engine, something to be proud of.

Minwu-Lee also breathed a long sigh of relief. For him, though, this is just the first hurdle.

The second level is action! "Shijie Wars" is not just a shooting online game, because it is also set to drive tanks, planes, ships, as well as assassination, sneak attack and other elements, all the actions of the characters are judged very strictly. Therefore, the "ergonomic physical system" opened by Jeunt Raymond was added to "Shijie Wars", and it was widely used in "Shijie Wars".

And although this "ergonomic physical system" brings a completely different experience to "Shijie Wars", making "Shijie Wars" more colorful, but at the same time, the control requirements for players and the performance of the computer are also high.

"Turn on the 'Ergonomic Physical System'!" Bruce Lee continued to open the second test item action of the internal test on the computer terminal after receiving Lin Feng's signal.

With Bruce Lee opening the "Ergonomic Physics System", a line of Ergonomic Physics will appear on all players' computers, and players will be free to do any action within the scope of human physical kinematics, including climbing, running, jumping, rolling, etc. The detailed operation command is detailed.

All the players were slightly stunned, and then immediately called up the relevant commands, and immediately saw the command items for rolling, running, jumping, and climbing.

"Haha, see, I'm climbing the tree!" one player exclaimed excitedly.

You know, whether it's in an online game or a stand-alone game, like these trees in the wilderness, grass, etc., most of them are decorations and have no use, which is to reduce the difficulty of opening. But some players tried it, and they actually climbed up, which is a good place for ambushes. Watch the players under your feet run by one by one, and if you have a gun in your hand at this time, you can ambush them.

"Hey, I'm going to roll!" another player shouted.

"What is this, I'm going to roll over on my side!" said a cow man next to him disdainfully.

The player who was still bragging was immediately stupid. He had seen this action order just now, but it was too complicated, so he ignored it directly and chose a slightly simpler one, but the cowman next to him actually played it directly, which was too bullish.

However, what players admire is the staff of "Shijie Wars". It's possible to open such a bullish system, not to mention first-person shooter games, even many simple action games can't do such an effect.

However, when the "Ergonomic Physics" is turned on, the player's "Virtual Screen" settings are reduced by one level. There is no way, there are more players in the picture at the moment, and nearly thousands of people are doing all kinds of strange actions at the same time, which requires high performance of the computer. Fortunately, for now, the server, level 1 computer is still in a very idle state.

It seems that only four or five projects can be tested today! Minwu-Lee is not satisfied with the results so far, nor is he disappointed. In short, for now, the performance of the player's computer is still key.

Now it's time for players to finally enter the city for the third test.
