Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 273: There Must Be A Way To Collect Money

Lu Yi had no idea that the new game idea proposed by Cheng Wanli was actually CrossFire from his previous life.

previous life.

CrossFire, referred to as CF.

"Crossfire" is a next-generation online gunfight game masterpiece launched by Smile-Gate Company in Bangzi Country in 2008. It is operated by Goose Factory in Longguo Continent.

It is a game based on the background of two major international mercenary organizations. It analyzes the shortcomings of many popular FPS including "Counter-Strike" and absorbs the content of various gunfight games loved by domestic players. A first-person shooter game.

CF is even known as the "shooting dream with 3 million people online at the same time and 300 million mice".

It is enough to see how popular CF is in China.

Of course.

Generally speaking, CF is only prevalent in Southeast Asia.

And CS is popular all over the world.

As a time traveler, Lu Yi was also a CF fan in his previous life.

In the previous life of 2008, Crossfire was popular all over the country.

That year's CrossFire event continued with constant events and rising traffic, and it was a time of great success.

However, every game has its moments of decline.

After ten years, CrossFire went from its peak to its trough, from being popular all over the country to being ignored by no one.

In the past life, some people in the industry also analyzed the reasons for the decline of CF.

There are several main points.

First, CF traps too much money and the game is out of balance.

The game CrossFire was originally positioned as a competitive FPS game 370, and the most important thing in competitive games is fairness.

But since the launch of the first heroic weapon "Fire Qilin", a series of heroic weapons have been launched one after another.

These hero-level weapons have unusual power bonuses. They can gain experience and gold coin bonuses in a short period of time that take others several times longer. Players with artifact weapons can easily reach high ranks that were originally very difficult to reach.

Slowly, the balance of the game was completely disrupted, and many civilian players became increasingly powerless. In desperation, they could only choose to leave with disappointment.

Second, various plug-ins are rampant and the fun of the game is lost.

Cheating is an inevitable problem in most games, but CF is definitely the one that suffers the most from cheating among FPS games.

Heroic weapons have gradually caused CF players to lose players, but the rampant use of cheats has accelerated its decline.

At the time when CF plug-ins were most rampant, various plug-ins appeared one after another, such as flying to the sky and the earth, self-aiming and perspective viewing, but the official did not have many ways to deal with plug-ins and could not solve them efficiently.

Many players are miserable and choose to quit CF and switch to other games. However, new players do not like this game. Only the old fans are enthusiastic about it. Occasionally, they and their brothers go to the Internet to play and blast. Unfortunately, it has already I no longer have that feeling I had back then!

Third, the market competition is too fierce and players are gradually losing.

The game market has been changing. At that time, there was a gap in the CS game. The emergence of CF naturally attracted many FPS game players.

However, CF is relatively conservative. A few years after its launch, many modes have remained the same and maps have rarely been updated, so many people have become tired.

Later, with the emergence of star products from Goose Factory games such as Dungeon Fighter and League of Legends, CrossFire became slightly weaker.

Moreover, the picture quality of CrossFire did not improve much, and it gradually fell behind in the competition in the market. With so many choices on the market, many people naturally chose other games.

Fourth, as the age gradually increases, old players quit one after another.

As they grow older, many veteran players have now started families and started businesses. As a father, he naturally has a lot of responsibilities, especially after getting married and having children. This leaves them with less time to play CrossFire. , so they slowly faded out of the CF stage, and CrossFire became their youth that they can never get back.

certainly.

CrossFire represents not only a game, but also the memories and youth of a group of people.

Whether it is an Internet cafe or a dormitory, whether they are in groups or scattered, the path those players have traveled has been deposited in the depths of memory, and there is no way to look back.

Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again.

The boy who used to practice ghost dancing and shouted to exchange silver for cannons has finally grown up.

"Director Lu, what do you think of this gunfight game we designed?"

Cheng Wanli looked at Lu Yi carefully. He found that Lu Yi's expression was a little abnormal, and he suddenly felt very nervous.

Could it be that Director Lu is dissatisfied?

Too.

Because the game they designed is so similar to CS that it can even be said to be a copycat.

Future Group has always been a trendsetter in the Internet industry.

Others have always copied Future Group's products, and now they are copying CS. It's normal that Lu Yi doesn't approve.

"not bad!"

However.

Lu Yi's answer was beyond Cheng Wanli's expectation.

He was ready to be scolded by Lu Yi, but...

Lu Yi said it’s not bad! (ccfa)

Cheng Wanli felt that he was hearing hallucinations.

"Lu... Director Lu, what did you just say?"

"I said the game you designed is pretty good." Lu Yi said with a smile.

"Ah! Director Lu, don't you scold us for copying CS?"

Cheng Wanli's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Copycat?"

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Can a cultural person be called a copycat? This is called learning from others."

Cheng Wanli:????

All right.

Cheng Wanli felt like he got to know Lu Yi again.

Lu Yi looked at Cheng Wanli's confused look and stared: "What, what I said is wrong?"

"What Director Lu said is right, everything he said is right, we are all cultural people, haha." Cheng Wanli said quickly.

"Have you chosen a name for this game?" Lu Yi asked.

"Not yet." Cheng Wanli said, "Director Lu, you have a high level of education. How about you give me a name?"

"I just know how to flatter you!"

Lu Yi glared at Cheng Wanli.

What does it mean to have a high cultural level?

My undergraduate degree from Sioux City University doesn’t count at all among the Future Group, okay?

Is Cheng Wanli burying himself?

"Forget it, let me give you a name."

"Let's call it...Crossfire, or CF for short."

“Crossfire….”

Cheng Wanli chewed on the name, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and then he patted his thigh and said: "As expected of Director Lu, the level of naming is very high. The name Cross Fire is really good. When you hear it, you will feel like a hail of bullets. It feels very appropriate to the theme of the game.”

"Okay, from now on, stop flattering and focus more on polishing the game." Lu Yi said angrily.

"Hey, how can I be called flattering? I'm just telling the truth." Cheng Wanli chuckled.

Lu Yi rolled her eyes when she heard this.

"I'm here to give you a heads up."

"CF is very similar to CS. It will definitely be labeled as a CS copycat after its launch, but that doesn't matter."

"Let me make some requests for you."

"If we want to make CF into a globally popular FPS gunfight game like CS, one thing is particularly important, and that is fairness."

"The most important thing in competitive games is fairness. Once the fairness of the game is destroyed, players will abandon it at any time. This should be kept in mind when you design and develop CF."

"While making money, we must not undermine the fairness of the game."

"You can give certain care to the players who spend money on it, but it can't be completely unbalanced. Otherwise, how will you let the civilian players play? You can't have a game that supports the money-making tycoons, right?"

He doesn't want CF to follow the same path of his previous life in this life.

In the previous life, CF was brilliant for more than ten years and then came to an end in a hurry.

In this life, CF must be glorious for twenty years and become a classic FPS game like CS.

"The second is to severely crack down on all kinds of cheats. This can also be regarded as an extension of the first point of fairness."

"If cheats are rampant in the game, it will also greatly damage the fairness and playability of the game.

The fairness of the game has been severely damaged, and various cheats are rampant, and the official has no way to solve them. These are the two biggest reasons for the decline of C in its previous life.

This life.

Lu Yi does not say that he can absolutely guarantee the fairness of CF and completely block cheats, but he must also try his best to ensure the fairness of the game and block all kinds of cheats.

Money must be collected in a wise way.

You can't do anything just to make money.

In that case, you will only be collecting small amounts of money, but you will not be able to make a steady stream of money.
