Chapter 627: Why Was CF Successful?

I went to it, but I didn't expect that even the ghost mode of CF, which was famous in later generations, also came to mind.

In later generations, there were two online game products developed based on "Counter-Strike", one was CF with a relatively high number of online users, and of course, it was also a Korean game, represented by Tencent. The other is CSOL, whose Chinese name is Counter-Strike OL. Both games have a common feature, that is, they have changed the competitive CS game to an online game. At the same time, some entertaining changes have been made to the game.

Like this ghost mode and biochemical mode, it is a good representation of the entertainment of CS.

It's just that they have biochemical mode, both online game products. Although CSOL has always said that CF plagiarized theirs. However, this world, online game products, are like novels. If you copy a big game in the world, it depends on whether you can copy it or not. Even if CF is copied, you have nothing to do. And the ghost mode, then, is exclusive to CF, which is a major innovation to create FPS shooters.

The CF of later generations also relied on this bright spot to attract many people.

According to the simultaneous online records of later generations, the number of online users of CF has exceeded 2.6 million of DNF and 2.6 million of Fantasy Journey to the West, reaching a height of 3 million, becoming an online game product with the highest number of online users in China.

I have to say, CF, there really is something special about him.

So, if you count the success of CF, then this ghost mode is the most credited.

Here's how it was officially introduced.

When in "Ghost Mode", when a transparent character moves or moves, you can fully notice it by looking closely at the game screen, and the shape of the character's body will be revealed. It is only when the figure is not moving that the figure becomes completely transparent. Also, thanks to the equipped ghost toolbox, you can hear the panting sound of "huhu-huhu". Depending on this sound, the location can also be revealed. This way, when the player is in "ghost mode", the figure and whirring sound while moving will make it easy for the opponent to perceive the character's position!

In this way, the test for the player is no longer limited to eyesight, but also hearing.

Victory can only be achieved by fully grasping the exact position of the enemy.

At the same time, unlike other game modes that can use all weapons and throwing weapons, Ghost Mode can only use daggers from melee weapons. This effectively ensures the balance of the game to a certain extent, and has also become a major feature of the game, enhancing the fun of the game. Imagine how entertaining it would be to be able to slowly approach your enemies with your knife in your hand while silently pushing them to their deaths.

Although, it doesn't seem to be much competitive. However, the reason why an online game is an online game is that he must ensure the premise of entertainment and take into account his competitiveness. If he only develops online games for competition, then this online game can be regarded as a failure.

Why in later generations, the number of CSOL online users will be less than CF, but CF can achieve such success. Although among them, Tencent's agent has indeed made more players watch this product. However, in addition to Tencent's proxy. The entertainment of CF is also one of the important reasons why people can't bear to give up.

On the other hand, an online game product that is also adapted from CS with CF is called CSOL. Much more authentic than CF. However, the concept of this game is very wrong. Although CSOL thought of adapting it into an online game, he always wanted to take into account fairness and competition in this online game.

I have to say, it's a real pain. If it's so fair, it's so competitive. People went to Haofang to play a battle, and they came to play your CSOL, what are they doing? Could it be that there is more technology in CSOL than authentic CS? This, naturally, is not. Therefore, for the same creative game, their online records are completely different.

Of course, in this one, because CF is too hot. Moreover, the people who play CF games are all young people. Many people run to talk about playing CF every day, and there are a lot of CS masters. To put it bluntly, even if a CS rookie enters CF, he can directly get rid of a lot of CF masters in seconds.

Not to mention whether this proposition is correct or not. Let's be sure first, even if a random CS rookie can abuse a lot of CF masters, so what? We don't want to ask, CS is a competitive game, CF is an online game entertainment game, you're fine, it hurts to be idle, what do you do with CS and CF?

These two games, one for competition and the other for entertainment, are different games and are completely incomparable. ,

Just like a player who plays Go, he can instantly destroy a master who plays backgammon. However, you have to say, are the people who play backgammon very bad, and those who play backgammon are brain-dead, they must run to play Go, and they can't play backgammon, so that this can reflect the cleverness of gamers?

This kind of thinking is purely fucking indignant and shameless.

For example, those who read the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", are they qualified to scold those who read "popular novels"? If you follow the thoughts of those who scold CF friends, then these friends who read "Red Mansion" novels, they should point to the nose bones of all those who read popular novels and scold. You guys who don't have any taste, no thought, no literature. I only know how to read this kind of popular fiction, why not read elegant, thoughtful, and literary works?

Similarly, among online novels, "Xiaobai" novels naturally have a market compared to Wenqing novels. And those friends who don't like Xiaobai, Nima's, are just spraying there if they have nothing to do. Brother recruited you to provoke you, I don't like to fork forks directly. On the other hand, those friends who like Xiaobai's novels are much more polite than those who are literary and thoughtful.

At the very least, when they saw Wenqing's novel, they knew that it wasn't their own food, so they didn't read it. Such a person is a good person, and such a reader is a quality reader. Compared with those guys who are full of moral articles, have a high face, and think that they have a powerful vision and a high taste, it's not a little bit or two.

If you want to give another example, take the H movie as an example.

Excuse me, those friends who are more gentle, can you say that if you watch H movies, you are shameless, you are guilty, you are low-interested, and you are so obscene? If you scold, I'm afraid, you will definitely not accept it. Because, you will say that people are pretending to be forced. However, it was the other way around. Those who scold others for being vulgar, who only know how to play CF, and who only know how to read very white novels, aren't they, fucking pretending.

It can be said that in this ghost mode, he has gotten rid of the traditional CS competition, and based on the background of Counter-Strike, he has thoroughly improved his entertainment. So, with the help of entertainment. The CF of later generations can have such a high number of online users.

Well, seriously, Chen Jiayi's criteria for evaluating games have always been based on results.

That is, no matter how well your game is advertised, and no matter how well your game is. As long as the number of people on the line is not high, then Chen Jiayi will not be a bird. In the same way, if a game has a large number of online users, at the same time, there are many people watching it. Then, even if this game is scolded every day, Chen Jiayi will run to study it.

It's very simple, with so many popular products, he must have something special about him. Such a product is not studied, but a game product that has a very small number of online users but is considered a classic by many niche players. Then, Chen Jiayi, he is a big fool.

Nothing else, this world, he is still the world of ordinary people.

Most of his products are for ordinary people. Whether it's a product in the real world or a product in the network. If a product wants to sell well, then, to meet the needs of ordinary people, even if he has a price, it can also sell like crazy all over the world. Just like a bottle of mineral water, 1 yuan a bottle. However, people relied on this dollar and a bottle of mineral water to create a business empire.

On the other hand, those that sell for 2 yuan, 3 yuan, 5 yuan, or even 10 yuan. Even if you have a good taste and a unique taste. Some people praise it from time to time, saying that it is much better than 1 yuan. But so what? Ordinary people, they still drink 1 yuan, and your 10 yuan, you drink it yourself.

Having said so much, Chen Jiayi just wants everyone to understand. Whether a thing is good or not, no one can tell it, and don't scold it all about it. For Chen Jiayi, there are many people who buy and use a lot of people, so he is a good thing if he has such a thing. Such a concept has also been guiding the entire Tang Dynasty company. Thus, we also see. With so many products of Tang Dynasty Company, he doesn't have much technicality. However, these products meet the requirements of most people around the world. As a result, Tang Dynasty Company has today's status.

Just like his operating system, although it has many shortcomings. And, it is abandoned by high-end users. However, the Tang Dynasty system was still able to meet the requirements of most people. In this way, he can also be transmitted to the world. And Chen Jiayi completely ignores what high-end users are. Of course, this is only a temporary disregard. ,

"This ghost mode is very good, and it has created a great innovation in FPS."

Although this plan is not very perfect, Chen Jiayi doesn't want to give many opinions. Since they can even come up with this one model, then some other details will also be improved. Among them, don't let Chen Jiayi think about it himself. Therefore, Chen Jiayi just glanced at it and praised Gu Xiaoyu.

"By the way, who planned this model?"

This is a GM of the company called "Gaofeng". ”

"Hmm, GM?"

"Yes."

"Yes, yes, it's good that GM can come up with such an idea."

In general, a GM is not a game developer and, at the same time, a game planner. GM, if you want to compare, is the existence of a forum administrator. Most of their tasks are to help players solve problems encountered in the game, help players guide operations, and hold some activities.

It should be said that GM belongs to the bottom of the game company.

At the beginning, when he heard GM, Chen Jiayi couldn't believe that such a plan was actually come up with by GM. However, when I think about it later, I understand it. This is normal, after all, GM touches online games all year round. Moreover, it is still on the front line of the game. Although they have not undergone professional game planning training, they have been playing games for a long time, and naturally they also have some insights into games. In this way, some plans are put forward accordingly.

Just like friends who write novels, write novels a lot. So, some fiction writers, he became fiction editors. At present, most of the editors of the Chinese network are converted from the original novel authors. Because only they can understand novels better and understand the entire novel market.

It is not surprising, then, that GM came up with such a plan.

"Very good, you remember, tomorrow I'm going to visit your GM customer service department."

Although the word GM is famous, I have to say that GM, he belongs to the customer service department.

In other words, GM, he is a customer service.

"Okay."

Gu Xiaoyu hurriedly wrote down this arrangement. Subsequently, Chen Jiayi continued to watch.

After the ghost mode, another mode appeared, called Biochemical mode.

This biochemical model is similar to that of later generations, whether it is CF or CSOL, they all have it.

The background of Dazhi is: the war between humans and zombies.

Rules: Biochemical mode is divided into two camps: biochemical ghosts and mercenaries.

Before the start of each round, everyone is in the mercenary camp, and is born at different birth points, after a few seconds of countdown, the game officially starts in a tense atmosphere, and the system will randomly infect 1-2 mercenaries from all players to become biochemical ghosts. Cyborg Ghosts need to infect all mercenaries for a fixed period of time to win; Mercenaries need to evade the BioSpectres and win if at least one Mercenary survives or successfully kills all of them at the end of the round.

This kind of application of traditional horror games to FPS online games can be said to be a precedent in the game industry. In the game, players can not only feel the tension and excitement through the graphics and music, but also play as zombies or humans to experience the difficulties and bitterness of survival. This game mode that breaks the traditional pattern and brings unprecedented new FPS gameplay to the majority of players, which is a major innovation in the history of games.

Although this model is in CS, CS advocates competition, even if it is entertainment, it is also for competitive entertainment. Therefore, this model has not been developed much. However, since he adapted it into an online game, the biochemical model has been fully liberated.

It can be said that the transfer of this game mode to the online game platform is the time for him to exert his strongest strength.

"It's all good."

This one plan is just a simple plan, and there are not many settings. Moreover, Chen Jiayi has a certain understanding of CF and CSOL in later generations. Therefore, looking at these plans, just a glance, he understands that he should not study too deeply. In this way, in just half an hour, Chen Jiayi finished reading him.

"It's just, it seems like something is wrong?"

For this reason, Chen Jiayi closed his eyes and recalled the difference between CS and CF and CSOL.

Here we take CF for comparison.

Judging from the picture, CS uses an older engine, and the picture is older. Even, guns and the like are made more realistically. If you pay attention, you can also see the rust on it. Probably, such a picture will be great for CS veteran players. However, Chen Jiayi believes that as a counter-strike OL, he is an online game and an entertaining online game. Then, he shouldn't be the same. ,

If Counter-Strike OL only attracts the original CS players, then it is a failure. The real success is to pull all those friends who have never played CS into Counter-Strike OL. This is the real success. Just like the Dota map in Warcraft, if Dota is just to make the original player more interesting, then this Dota map is not a big deal.

What really makes DOTA so successful is that DOTA has successfully pulled those friends who have never played Warcraft into the practice of Warcraft. Well, the current Counter-Strike OL, too, has to do this. Thinking of this, Chen Jia's eyes lit up and she understood.

"Xiaoyu, our Counter-Strike OL, is it still the original game engine?"

"Not really."

In fact, it was written in the plan, Gu Xiaoyu thought about it, and probably felt that Chen Jiayi didn't see it, so she continued to explain, "CS originally used the hammer game engine, and until now, it is not very suitable for our online game. To this end, we at Tang Dynasty Network are ready to develop another FPS engine. ”

"Well, it is necessary to develop a new engine."

"This engine, in addition to continuing to restore the previous CS classic map, we are also preparing to make comprehensive changes to the entire map, characters, guns, etc."

"Why, don't you want to use the original character model and gun model?"

"Yes or no. We believe that the whole model, including some of the initial maps, will remain the same, and there will be more similarities with CS. However, there are a number of changes to be made. For example, guns in CS and the like, we think that as a competitive game, he should keep it that way. However, as an online game, these guns, he should not be so old and old-fashioned, what we want to give him is that the technology is brand new, just like the equipment in the online game. People need to have some of these equipment, not any weapon like CS Athletic. In addition, for the map, although we will restore the map, we will also make some changes in terms of visual noise. ”

"I agree with that."

After all, online games are very different from stand-alone games. There is a great need to make these changes. However, Chen Jiayi did not say this. After thinking about it, Chen Jia was going to give an example, so he said, "Xiaoyu, why has CS developed so far, it has gradually saturated, and not too many players have entered again?" ”
