Chapter 1548 "World War" Internal Beta

"Second World" closed beta.

On September 10, 2004, "War of the Worlds" conducted the world's first closed beta test. At this time, there were still more than three months before the official open beta of "War of the Worlds" on January 1, 2005. For the first time, "War of the Worlds"

During the internal beta test, "Second World" carried out all-round publicity early on.

Domestically, using the comprehensive coverage of "Tencent", almost every QQ user online can see the news of the first internal beta of "War of the Worlds", while abroad, Lin Feng used his own "fsn-houston" TV station, and "

The Houston Chronicle carried out a comprehensive promotion. This is also the first time in the history of games that an online game has been promoted on television on such a large scale, and it is only the first closed beta test of the game.

Early on, players around the world who are interested in "War of the Worlds" downloaded the client and are waiting for the first global closed beta of "War of the Worlds".

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

Although this is just an internal test, there is no profit or loss, but Wu Zhaopu still looks nervous. After all, the number of players in the internal test is related to the number of players in the future open test. The more players in the internal test, the number of players in the open test.

The more. It's directly proportional.

"Don't worry. Now the number of downloads of the "World War" closed beta client worldwide has exceeded 100 million times. I believe there must be many closed beta players. Now I am not worried about whether there are enough closed beta players to meet our requirements. On the contrary

I'm worried that there are too many closed beta players and our server won't be able to load it!" Lin Feng said with a serious expression.

For now, the reason for conducting this internal test is not only to test whether there are bugs in "War of the Worlds", but more importantly, to test how much data traffic of players can be carried when "War of the Worlds" activates the global Internet. This is a direct relationship

to the future prospects of "War of the Worlds".

Currently, for this internal test, "Second World" has mobilized a total of 100 supercomputers. Among them, the Shanghai headquarters has as many as 50 supercomputers to process various data and traffic from around the world. The Asia and Japan branch has

3 units, including 2 units in the Korean branch, 2 units in the Taiwan branch, 1 unit in Hong Kong, 15 units in the European branch, 20 units in the American branch, 3 units in the Australian branch, and 4 units in the newly established African branch.

tower.

These 100 supercomputers will be responsible for all data and traffic processing of this internal test of "War of the Worlds". According to theoretical data, 100 supercomputers are enough to calculate the birth and destruction of the universe. But in Lin Feng's opinion, it may not be enough to handle it.

The data of "World War". You must know that if 100 million people really participate in this internal test, then the data will be a huge astronomical figure. Especially once the national war test system is opened, the data traffic will be even more

It's huge enough to make any computer tremble. That is, of course, if computers could feel.

Of course, there is another very important point in this test. That is whether the performance of the player's computer can withstand the game graphics of "World War" and the requirements of the national war. After all, "World War" is a first-person shooter online game.

The smoothness of the game is the most critical. If the game is not smooth enough, then all players will not have fun playing it. If the screen is stuck one after another, who will be interested in playing it!

Therefore, this internal test is very important.

"But, boss, you chose a day that makes all the teachers in the country miserable." Wu Zhaopu suddenly joked.

Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. September 10th is Teachers' Day. I did not deliberately choose this day to conduct the public beta of "World War". It was just a coincidence. I hope the teachers in China will not scold me! - Lin

The wind mourned silently.

Obviously, Lin Feng is definitely being criticized today. Originally, today is Teacher's Day, a holiday for teachers, which should be a happy one. On this day, schools will distribute various benefits to teachers, and some even hold tours to let teachers celebrate.

A happy holiday. The students will also send greeting cards and say - Teacher, thank you for your hard work.

This was originally a very beautiful thing. But today, due to the internal beta of "War of the Worlds", many students gave their teachers no longer greeting cards, but "War of the Worlds" internal beta accounts. Originally, teachers had always opposed students playing

Games, after all, academics are the most important thing. Games, games, playing with things will make you lose your ambition. As the saying goes, if you are young and don’t work hard, you will be sad. Can you get a 100% score in playing games? Can you get a 100% score in playing Tsinghua University or Peking University?

As a result, these teachers were still teaching in Chun Chun, but the students directly sent them to the game beta account. You said it was irritating or not. Especially today is Friday, which is the weekend. Originally, many schools were planning to let teachers only attend class for half a day, and then go and have a good time together.

It was a short holiday and I had fun for 2 and a half days. Perhaps because of this, many students got the news. As a result, at 9 o'clock in the morning, those students who usually don't like studying skipped class directly. As for those who are less courageous, they are not counted in the eyes of the teacher.

If you are a bad student, you will write a request for leave.

As a result, there were 60 students in a class, 8 who skipped class, 16 who had colds and fevers, 10 whose family relatives were seriously ill, 6 whose parents had trouble with them, and three who had unknown reasons. In the end, only 20 people were left in the huge classroom.

The empty teacher made the teacher who was about to go on vacation feel depressed. Of course, from a visual point of view, it is better to see only 20 people left, because they are all girls!

"If a young man doesn't work hard, the old man will be miserable. Remember, your efforts today will bring you countless rewards in the future. Compared with these students who skip class, you will definitely not regret staying in the classroom today.

"The teacher said sternly.

The 20 girls nodded. Of course, I don't know if they agree with the teacher's words. Because one girl muttered - Lin Feng got bad grades and now he is the richest man in the world. Why do we study so much? What's more?

, we girls are not as good as marrying well if we study well!

Vomiting blood! - The teacher immediately decided to take leave and go on vacation to have a happy Teacher's Day. Otherwise, he might be so angry at the end of the day.

At this time, the major Internet cafes were already full of people. Everyone's computers were in the same color - blue sky and white clouds. Everyone turned on their computers, waiting for the first internal beta test of "War of the Worlds".

"I said Brother Niu, what kind of game do you think "World War" will be? Ever since 'Second World' announced the development of "World War", I have been looking forward to it! I have been waiting for almost 3 years.

"A man said with a cigarette in his mouth.

"I don't know either. But I know that a game that costs 1.5 billion US dollars will definitely be a good game. I just hope that the map can be bigger and the gameplay can be more flexible. That would be the best."

Say it for the people of Brother Niu.

"That's for sure." A player on the side interjected, "Did you know that "World War" completely replicates the maps of major cities around the world, with a nearly 1:1 ratio, so the map will be the largest game map in history.

.This time we can play with confidence and never have to worry about the map being too small. Maybe we will also worry about the map being too big.”

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

According to the official information released by "Second World", "World War" has produced maps of more than 300 cities around the world. 300 cities, what a spectacular number, even if these 300 cities are placed together, the

The maps will shock players. What's more, in addition to cities, "World War" also has various wilderness, deserts, mountains, lakes, and oceans. It can be said that the size of the map is absolutely unprecedented.

"You said that in this video players can control airplanes, tanks, and ships. Will we really be able to control these things by then?" A player who watched the game's promotional video murmured.

Everyone looked at the game promotional video with a look of approval. If the map of this game is beyond players' expectations, being able to control modern weapons such as aircraft, tanks, ships, etc. is also another highlight that players are looking forward to. Think about it, in the sky

, countless planes engaged in fierce air battles, tanks carried out fierce shelling on the ground, and ships looked at each other in the water and fired torpedoes at each other. What a spectacular scene it was.

Thinking about this scene, all the players were excited.

"There will be a national war! Do you think it will be possible to destroy the country as it is said in the game? If it is possible, I will be the first to destroy Japan." A player said with a fist.

National War! - All players are looking forward to it. This is the most anticipated thing about "World War".

National war!—Can there really be a national war?

Everything is in "War of the Worlds"! - When the bell rang at 9 a.m. on September 10, all computer screens flashed out the login window for the internal beta of "War of the Worlds".

All players must enter their account and password as soon as possible. After all, this is a closed beta. Although "Second World" says there is no limit to the number of closed beta players, "World War" is a global Internet after all. It is the first truly global Internet. Only

There is one big area and no second area. All players play in one game server. This is unprecedented. Although "Second World" said that it has prepared 100 supercomputers for this internal test, who knows when that will happen?

Will there be a phenomenon where too many players cannot log in, so everyone is trying their best to get into the game as soon as possible.

As a burst of exciting and exciting music sounded, players finally entered this game that has been developed for nearly 3 years and has invested more than 1.5 billion US dollars.

The screen goes black, and after 5 seconds, the game opening animation appears.

The turmoil in the world has come out of my generation, and the years have rushed me as soon as I entered the rivers and lakes. The dynasty's hegemony talked and laughed, and it was more drunk than the world! Holding the sword and riding astride, waving the ghost rain, bones like mountains and birds flying in terror. The world is like the tide, people are like water, only a few people in the rivers and lakes are sighing

Back! Fighting in the lonely city in all directions in the rainy night, watching the sound of swords in plain sight. The chivalrous bones have been missing for thousands of years, and the blue blood and red leaves are drunk in the autumn wind. - What caught the eyes of all the players was this majestic, yet deeply lamentable poem.

For a moment, all the players experienced the vigor and vigor of the battlefield, as well as the ruthlessness of the battlefield and the desolation behind it. Although the players' emotions suddenly dropped, they undoubtedly planted the seeds for the excitement that followed.

Then there was a video of heavy artillery fire. Various fighter planes were soaring in the sky. Missiles roared away in the sky. Fighters were hit in the sky and exploded violently. On the ground, tanks one after another

As it rumbled past, the earth trembled, the mountains and rivers trembled, and then the tanks roared with fierce artillery fire. Then one tank after another was blown up, and the whole earth was filled with smoke, and there was thick smoke everywhere. At this time, I

Soldiers wearing military uniforms from various countries rushed out from behind the tanks, roaring, yelling, and shouting, and rushed towards the enemy camp. A hand-to-hand encounter was inevitable.

On the other side, in the sea, ships launched various torpedoes, competing with imperial ships for sea control. Under the sea, submarines swam around like ghosts, looking for the best opportunity to attack. Deep in the ocean, aircraft carriers

They lined up and started the most brutal battle in the depths of the ocean...

"World War" - four big characters flashed in front of all players.

Fight for justice! Fight for ideals! Fight for mission! - The three parallel sentences in the picture aroused the voices of all players. At this moment, whether it was an Internet cafe or a user's home in the community, unprecedented roars broke out.

All players were infected by the opening animation of the closed beta of "War of the Worlds". At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, to enter the game and participate in the world war. Return to the war era that made all men tremble with excitement, to save the world.

Defend the family and the country! Go and expand the territory! Go and make immortal contributions to all ages!

After the long animation of the game ends, the player directly enters the game. Since it is a closed beta version, there are no more complex and cumbersome options like the public beta version. Players only need to simply select a few options. For example, choose an assaulter or a sniper.

, which weapon to specialize in, which vehicle to specialize in, whether it is a tank, an airplane or a ship, etc. are the simplest choices.

Then, the screen went black and the hard drive started reading frantically.

After a full minute, the screen flashed again, and players appeared on the corresponding map based on their nationality and login location.

"Is this...is this...a game?" After entering the game, the players were stunned.

Players have played many 3D games. Whether it is stand-alone or online games, players have played many, many games. They are all very familiar with game maps. But at this moment, they are all dumbfounded. Just because of a game map

I'm so stupid. It's not that the players are ignorant, it's that this map is so shocking.

Wilderness! All players are born in the wilderness. But this wilderness is not the kind of wilderness in ordinary games, but a wilderness like the real world. Depending on where you are, the environment the player is in is different, but

One thing is the same - truth.

Players on the plain can see a flat green space, but the green space here is not completely flat like other games. It has undulations and bumps. It is just relatively flat, not an absolute plain like other games. And it is not.

It is all grassland, with various trees, and they are all familiar trees. There are also various roads, giving people the feeling that they are somewhere not far away from them.

And some are on the beach. The vast ocean in the distance, the jagged rocks, and the noisy waves make the player feel like they are on the beach.

As for the players on the high mountains, they were even more shocked. The misty clouds in the distance, the big trees in the sky, and the rugged mountain roads all made the players wonder whether they were playing a game or reading a National Geographic travel magazine.
