Chapter 376: Prelude to the blockade! The real mastermind!
"Global nuclear explosion! Golden Wind's new Call of Duty game is unprecedentedly popular!"
"Anti-war thinking is thought-provoking! China Huaxia Daily official blog publishes a short comment"
《Unprecedented! "Call of Duty" may have become a new benchmark for next-generation FPS games! 》
"SNG Editor-in-Chief Simon said that the 9.9 score of the trial version may be debatable, and the subsequent scores may be surprising"
"The whole process is full of high energy. Tiantianyoubao editor-in-chief Xu Xiaolin called it a "Hollywood-level shooting game""
《……》
In just four hours!
Although at this time, it is less than half a day away from the release of the first part of the Call of Duty trilogy!
But the uproar and heated discussion it caused has already swept across the entire gaming community like a hurricane!
Players are hotly discussing this, sales are soaring, and almost all gaming media outlets around the world are optimistic about it!
Put the tablet down.
Kotick's fat face, with a frown on his face, was revealed.
This is news more terrifying than a nuclear bomb explosion.
At this time, how long had it been since their last battle with Golden Wind?
Half a year?
Maybe less than half a year.
And in such a short period of time, one of the trilogy released by Golden Wind has achieved such amazing success in the game market!
You must know!
This "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is released in three parts: upper, middle and lower.
After the trilogy series is released, Golden Wind also promises to continue developing its multiplayer online battle mode!
At that time, every player who purchases any of the trilogy will be eligible to play the multiplayer supplementary content.
This is Golden Wind's largest project ever.
And now, this project has achieved an outstanding peak right from the start.
How should he respond?
After all, if he continues like this, he will be further and further away from his goal of destroying Golden Wind and acquiring those attractive IP copyrights at low prices.
What's even more terrifying is that, as we all know, the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" trilogy was created by Moody Blues, the former Ubisoft studio.
The prefix of this IP is - Tom Clancy series.
As the former club of Melancholy Blues.
Kotick is very clear about how many sub-projects are included in this series of IP.
Now, Golden Wind, the first Tom Clancy series, has been so successful. To be honest, even if they merge all the studios in the future and just make money from the Tom Clancy series IP, it will be enough for them to make a living!
damn it.
Codick felt a lump in his heart when he thought of this.
I should have let Ubisoft develop this series earlier!
Otherwise, I should have sold the studio at a higher price in the first place!
Who the hell knew the quality of this series was so high!
"Um--"
Kodick was unlucky and regretted his decision.
I don’t know whether I regret letting Ubisoft go so easily, or I regret that I listed it for sale at a lower price.
but.
No matter what, the matter is done now. Even if he regrets it, he can't turn back time.
What he needs to consider now is how to curb the increasingly rapid development momentum of the golden wind.
After all, according to reliable sources.
Today, Golden Wind has teamed up with China Fury and is developing a racing game that will compete with their key projects at the upcoming Europa Interactive Entertainment Expo.
Kodick clearly realized that it was unrealistic to compete with Golden Wind just by playing games.
After three or four years of development, Golden Wind has now become a manufacturer with considerable brand power, and many players have even put forward the slogan "Golden products must be high-quality products."
That is to say, even if from now on, the games produced by Golden Wind become worse and worse, there will still be many players scrambling to pay for them.
Now, if we want to suppress Golden Wind, we must find another way and curb the speed at which Golden Wind produces masterpieces from the source.
source?
Kotick thought and thought.
What are the roots of the game?
……engine.
Yes.
A game engine refers to a core component of some pre-written editable computer game systems or some interactive real-time graphics applications.
These systems provide game designers with a variety of tools needed to write games. Their purpose is to allow game designers to easily and quickly create game programs without starting from scratch.
It can be said that the origin of today's game production lies in the game engine.
Of course.
You said that a game is completely independent of the engine, so is it okay for me to make it from scratch?
sure.
However, the time and money consumed are incalculable.
Nowadays, looking around the world, the most widely used ones that can support the development of major works are "Dream 5" with the strongest overall performance and "Phoenix" with the strongest graphical expression.
Although Golden Wind has dabbled in both engines.
However, according to the style of games produced by Golden Wind today, the one they have been using the most, and which is also the most suitable for them, is "Magic Dream 5".
That is to say!
If he could launch effective sanctions and contain Golden Wind in terms of the engine supply of "Dream 5", then the development progress and investment of Golden Wind's subsequent 3S-level masterpieces would be greatly increased, and it might even be very likely to cause the game to be difficult to produce.
Of course!
As an independent engine supplier, Huanmeng Company would naturally not impose sanctions and restrictions on a manufacturer for no reason.
Fortunately, as an American company, Cotick was able to negotiate with the other party.
Think of this!
Kodick nodded, then picked up the phone and called the assistant secretary:
"Please help me contact Huanmeng. I want to discuss a win-win business with their CEO..."
…
Here, Kodick's conspiracy is brewing.
On the other hand, the mastermind behind this complicated nuclear explosion crisis that is enough to threaten world security has gradually surfaced.
After obtaining the location of Alasad, Soap and instructor Gates, followed by Captain Price and two other teammates, arrived at a small village in northern Azerbaijan.
But before they entered the village.
Da da!
Da da da!
Sporadic gunshots rang out in the night.
A Yin subconsciously retracted his neck and made a posture ready to start running, thinking that he had been discovered by some strange thing again.
However, Captain Price said:
"We have to hurry. The extremist militants protecting Al-Asad are killing the villagers here."
Da da da!
Da da!
Fire flashed.
A Yin looked at the two-story building in front of him with some fear and grinned.
It seems that Alasad had just moved here not long ago. In order to ensure his own safety, he ordered the massacre of all the villagers in this small village.
And now, they must quickly take advantage of Al-Assad's armed actions to launch a capture operation against Al-Assad.
"You are allowed to open fire at will. As usual, leave no one alive. Capture Arasad alive. Action!"
Following the order from the old captain Price!
A Yin skillfully pulled out the M1014 Benelli shotgun behind him, opened the magazine to check the bullet loading situation, and then dived to follow the old captain's footsteps.
The group took advantage of the moonlight and sneaked into the basement of the two-story building in front.
But just push the door and enter!
They ran into the militants who had just massacred the villagers and were searching the room.
Boom! Snap!
In a flash!
Before the militant even had time to shout, he was sent flying and hit the wooden stairs with a bang, dying!
"Enemy contact! Enemy contact! Pay attention to cover!"
Captain Price also quickly entered combat status, carrying his 1911 and going up the stairs!
But at this moment, there was a loud shout!
"Ahra#¥!@#!!!"
An armed man suddenly appeared from the stairs, pointed his gun at Captain Price and was about to pull the trigger!
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots!
Captain Price was quick-witted and quick-handed, and lifted up the opponent's wrist in one hand!
The bullets hit the roof, creating clouds of smoke!
Then, without waiting for the other party to make any further moves, Captain Price hit the militant in the face with a powerful elbow!
Then he pulled out the M9 military knife from his waist with his backhand, and there was a sound of "Clang"!
The blade dug into the enemy's throat, and with a thud, the dead body fell to the ground!
"Fuck! Hey! Fuck this old man...how can he be so awesome..."
A Yin was stunned.
So awesome!
As expected of the old captain.
This set of moves is to engage the enemy and kill them cleanly and neatly, without any delay!
"It's hard to say, brothers. If I really have to fight Captain Qian one day, I may not be able to defeat him..."
but!
Having said that!
The current situation does not allow the character Soap played by A Yin to compete with Captain Qian on the spot!
after all--
Woof woof! Woof!
As the militants fell, barking sounds of dogs were heard, and well-trained military dogs pounced on them!
Following right on!
A close combat battle broke out fiercely in this secluded village!
Led by Captain Price, the group moved forward.
In this level, Ayin, as the protagonist, was naturally not idle either.
In addition to participating in the offensive advancement mission, he also got a new toy - a battlefield communication device that looks like a big brother.
This communication device can mark the room where the enemy is located.
Afterwards, the armed helicopters will carry out indiscriminate strafing attacks on the residential area based on the locations marked by Ayin.
All the way through!
Finally, in a small wooden house at the innermost part of the village, they finally found Alassad's hiding place.
[Captain Price: Attention, we must capture Arasad alive. His death will do us no good.]
"receive!"
"clear!"
A Yin and his teammates nodded in response.
Then, Captain Price was seen leaning against the door of the cabin, quietly opening the door a little, and stuffing a stun grenade inside.
Boom!
Bang!
"Don't move! Don't move the fuck out of here!"
"Get down! Get down!"
"Oh Saba ah Dali--"
"Put your hands up dammit!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The loud shouts were accompanied by the muffled sound of military boots kicking the body!
Following Instructor Gates into the cabin, we saw Alasad, whose head was covered in blood, being picked up by Captain Price and thrown on a chair.
"Who is it? Huh? Who ordered you to do this?!"
Captain Qian grabbed Alassad by the collar and slapped his red beret off.
"I...I don't know what you are talking about..."
At this moment, Alasad had obviously been a little confused by Captain Qian's punch. He squinted his swollen eyes, shook his head, and looked embarrassed.
"I! Just! Want! A! Name!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four consecutive punches!
Alasad, who was sitting on a chair, was even beaten back repeatedly, with blood dripping from his mouth!
"I...can't...say..."
At this moment, Alassad was still being stubborn.
"OK, Fine——"
Seeing this, Price stopped talking nonsense and grabbed Alasad and carried him to the side of the pool.
He picked up a rag from the ground and blew it on Al-Asad's face, then turned on the water pipe and poured water on his face!
Waterboarding.
Simply put, a wet towel soaked in water is placed on the victim's face to make him feel suffocated.
This is the most common method of forced confession used by the CIA. Usually the victim will confess completely within a quarter of an hour.
Price had no time to waste on talking to this ruthless warlord. He now urgently needed to know who was the person who secretly instructed him to kill the king, declare war and detonate a nuclear bomb, and who was the leader who had been hiding in the rebel army in Warsaw.
However!
Before Captain Price could torture Alasad.
Beep, beep, beep—beep, beep—
Suddenly.
Instructor Gates' cell phone rang.
Everyone turned to look and saw Instructor Gates looking at his phone, then handed it to Captain Price, "Captain, this is Alasad calling. It's an unfamiliar number."
Bang!
Pick up the phone!
Captain Price answered the phone in silence.
The person on the phone seemed to say only a few words and then hung up.
Following right on!
Captain Price pulled out a 1911 pistol from his waist and shot Alassad in the head!
BANG——!!!
As the bullet pierced through the head, blood spurted out.
In the pitch-black screen, Ah Yin only heard Instructor Gates ask, "Who's calling? Captain?"
Silence.
Captain Price spoke slowly:
"Zakayev."
“Imran Zakhaev.”
And with the voice of Captain Price.
Time goes back.
Fifteen years ago.
Chernobyl.
