As soon as the video came out, it instantly ignited the players' enthusiasm.
After this period of time, the popularity of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" has basically started to decline.
After all, there isn't much to talk about, mainly just the story.
As for the multiplayer mode, players also discussed it a lot, but it was obviously much less than the previous story topics.
It's more about strategy-oriented content.
For example, what kind of tactics to use on the Zack map, which guns are better, and how to equip each gun more scientifically.
Players are still studying these things.
Of course, a larger part of it still belongs to the kind of player who doesn't care about so much and just picks up a gun and goes for it.
Although it's very fun to play, the main content is not much different from previous FPS games.
It's just more fun to play.
Of course, this reason alone is enough to attract many players to play it.
But there is always a lack of a sense of surprise, far less than the way players felt when they first encountered the story mode of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", and it also doesn't have the initial surprise brought by the hardcore gameplay of "Rainbow Six: Siege".
Now, this new CG promotion has aroused a lot of discussion and heated debate among players.
The time isn't too long, but it contains a lot of content.
The first thing that excites many players is the reappearance of Soap, Price, and Ghost.
As for Roach?
Many players speculate that it should be the one giving the thumbs up on the plane, but whether it is or not, players don't know.
Who told Roach not to show his face in the game?
And this new mode of gameplay called 'Warzone', according to the snippets revealed in the CG and the content of the screen.
It is obviously an armed helicopter carrying players to a city.
And there are one hundred and fifty people in the city.
Various props and vehicles are scattered throughout the city, and then players parachute into various locations to eliminate others.
And in the end, only one player or one team can survive.
After all, in the end, only Price and his 141 Task Force leave on the armed helicopter.
As for the 150 people, it is very likely that they are all players.
And within this game framework, players can make various choices.
Fight it out with others, or be a 'bush camper' who snipes like the sniper in the ghillie suit before.
In addition, from the video, the game's gameplay is also very rich, with land vehicles such as jeeps, and even armed helicopters, including claymore mines, RPGs, and various guns.
Cluster bombs, UAVs, these things that are available in the story and multiplayer modes are also available in Warzone.
And it seems that after a player is killed, they will not be immediately eliminated, but will be sent to the Gulag prison.
There is also a 'toxic gas' setting that seems to shrink the player's activity space.
Basically, players who have played the second game are familiar with this place.
Because the parallel world doesn't have so-called battle royale novels and movies, Lucas didn't use the term 'battle royale' in the promotion.
After all, saying it wouldn't give players a direct impression.
But although it is similar to the gameplay and theme of battle royale.
The 'raising monsters' mode itself, and the promotion CG video, Lucas has very clearly hinted at various gameplay methods.
After players' discussions, they quickly analyzed the content of this new mode called 'Warzone'.
The players' reactions to this were also different.
'This doesn't feel much different, does it? Vehicles, killstreak systems, and guns, aren't these all in the normal modes and the story?'
'The main thing is that the gameplay has changed, right? I think it's quite interesting, you can actually go to prison and box after you die?'
'Moreover, this mode feels very unbalanced! If you don't bring a gun, will you only be able to use a pistol if you don't find a gun?'
'The guy upstairs, I don't know if you're really stupid or pretending to be stupid, if you don't have a gun, does that mean everyone else has a gun? It still depends on your luck, just like when you play the normal mode, some people encounter great teammates, and you encounter bad teammates, are you going to say it's unbalanced?'
'To be honest, I think this mode is quite interesting, and the map is so big and there are so many players, so there are a lot of variables.'
'I don't know about the others, but people who like to shoot everywhere will definitely become the focus of attention, maybe they'll be walking down the street with six sniper rifles aimed at them.'
'I can picture that, but I'm still quite disappointed. When I saw Captain Price, Ghost, and Soap, I thought it would be story DLC content.'
'Hey, don't say that, I feel bad whenever I think of Soap.'
Players' opinions differ, some think it's interesting, and some think Nebula Games is making a big fuss for nothing.
Including Howard Warcha from Atari over there, he was also surprised and happy at this time.
The surprise was, what kind of hatred is this!?
And the joy was that Howard Warcha also studied this new mode called 'Warzone' as soon as possible.
Like some players, Howard Warcha also didn't feel how interesting this 'Warzone' mode was.
Because it always feels like a mixed bag.
Picking up guns has been done in traditional FPS games.
Large map battlefields also exist, but not many do it well, and they are basically a niche hardcore type.
As for killstreak rewards and guns, these are all content from the main "Call of Duty" game.
The only slightly new thing is to box and try again after death.
But what's the difference between this and a team mode where you can revive after death?
As for the other 'toxic gas' setting, Howard Warcha could also guess some things.
That is, the game map may be too big, and if it is not restricted, players probably won't even meet each other.
But this also feels a bit like taking off your pants to fart.
Although he attaches great importance to "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", Howard Warcha really doesn't feel how interesting it is from these content points.
Just like many people in the past, before knowing that battle royale was popular, they simply saw this gameplay and concept and didn't pay too much attention to it.
Now there is a very awkward situation, that is, whether "Storm Action" should still be launched as scheduled.
But Howard Warcha didn't struggle too much, because the company has already issued an order.
That is, to continue to launch according to the original plan.
As for the reason, it is naturally that Atari conducted online player feedback collection, and internal analysis showed that this new mode will not cause too much impact.
This also made Howard Warcha very happy.
If it weren't for the plan he proposed, wouldn't he have to take the blame in the end?
......
July 6th, the day when the "Call of Duty: Warzone" open experience was announced in the previous promotion CG video.
Many players who had many doubts before downloaded it as soon as possible.
This also included many players who had not bought the main "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" game.
After all, this game mode is open to all players.
Some players who haven't bought the main game yet are taking this opportunity to see the graphics and gunplay of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
Of course, there are also more players who are curious about this new mode.
I just finished "Sword and Fairy 7", what can I say... it exceeded my expectations, after all, the previous six games were really bad~ As for the 'internet celebrity face' thing, I didn't really feel anything, and the main character's white stockings are really good~ Finally, "Elden Ring" was delayed!
