Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

So soon this LAN war was quickly organized.

In the game Border, players can use more than 20 different officially designed maps, corresponding to different levels in the campaign.

The maps range from large to small. The small one only has three interconnected areas of about tens of square meters, like several large rooms connected together, which can support 5v5 battles.

Large ones like Norton Hill cover an entire hill. There are also various bunkers in the game, such as towers, bunkers, underground passages, etc...

Makes the game much richer.

Such a large map can support 10v10 battles.

Theoretically, it can support 20v20, or 5v5v5v5, but now, considering the problem of network and same-screen lag, the official has set a certain upper limit on the number of people.

Gravity Studio has actually run countless tests, and finally came to the conclusion that——

Even the best computer, with a top-end configuration, can only support up to 40 people on the same screen.

After this amount is exceeded, the game becomes almost impossible to play.

40 people is the theoretical upper limit, and it has reached a very laggy level. It is almost impossible to do anything except move.

After testing, it can support normal operation and is relatively smooth. The maximum number of people is 30 people on the same screen.

So in order to take care of those ordinary computers, the official set the final number of people at 10v10.

…

"Come on, come on, Waterby Canyon."

Ross greeted the classmates next door.

Entering the LAN, Noel found that there were already many rooms in it, with various names written on them:

As agreed, they entered the room called [Death or Life], and the password was the agreed upon 12394.

After entering the room, it quickly filled up with 10 people.

Ross and Noel were automatically assigned to a group and formed a team with the classmates from the two dormitories next door to fight against the other five people.

This kind of internal battle situation is usually a lively one.

In the past, it was only when playing Warcraft that there was such a heated atmosphere.

Who would have thought that "Border" would bring so many people together?

Everyone stopped going out at night and just thought about playing games.

Entering the game, I chose the simplest competition mode, and the victory condition is that one party is completely wiped out or the base is blown up.

A group of people started a fierce fight.

Wattby Canyon is a relatively medium-sized border checkpoint. The entire canyon is composed of three parts, namely the canyon in the middle and the hills on both sides.

There is a command camp distributed on each hill. At the same time, you can go down the slope from the top of the valley, and there is an underground passage to go around to the other side's back.

The terrain has a mirror image relationship, so it is fair to both red and blue parties (Korion and Balk).

You can also buy weapons in the initial base and kill the opponent to get more gold coins.

There are three to four more advantageous sniper points scattered in the game. At the same time, because of the underground passage setting, it is very likely that you will encounter love at a corner underground, which will test the team's tactical arrangements and Cooperation, and their respective reaction capabilities.

In addition to completely annihilating each other, both sides also added an additional victory condition——

Blow up the enemy's base.

In each game, one player from both sides will carry an explosive bag, which is placed at a designated location in the opponent's base. It can be detonated within a certain period of time by pressing the timer button.

Therefore, during the battle, not only must we send people to attack, but we must also send people to defend.

The route you take is also very particular.

These are actually carefully designed by pokeni, and the route and duration have been calculated.

Since there are a lot of tactical changes, and there will also be situations where teams are divided, the overall coordination and tactical arrangements of individuals and teams become crucial.

The game also becomes a lot more interesting.

At first, everyone didn't quite understand it. They basically charged together as a group because this was the safest way.

We have a large number of people and the enemy has a small number of people, so we will naturally have a certain advantage.

The large groups either encountered each other or missed each other. The competition was to see who could bury the package faster.

After playing several times, everyone has come to the realization that in this game walking in groups is actually relatively inefficient, and by redistributing manpower, if the opponent is a large force advancing, a small number of people can be used to intercept it, ensuring that It will definitely be disturbed.

The side that is not disrupted wins.

Over time, everyone formed more detailed tactical arrangements and changes.

The requirements for individual individual combat capabilities have naturally increased.

The two sides were fighting back and forth, and both sides were very high-spirited.

Their ghostly screams can be heard in the entire dormitory corridor at any time.

"go! go! go! go!"

"Rush, rush, rush."

"I'll go underground, you go through the canyon. If you encounter an enemy, remember to roar."

"I have enemies here, come on, come on!"

"How about we stay at the base for a while?"

"But the base is also divided into AB areas, so you have to think about where the opponent is coming from."

…

Noel is now a seasoned veteran of many wars.

His teammates are brave warriors who work together to fight against the enemy.

After the battle started, Noel and his teammates quickly entered the fighting state.

They use terrain and obstacles for cover, constantly moving and changing positions to avoid detection by the enemy.

At the same time, they also use various weapons and equipment to attack the enemy.

Before attacking, Noel and his teammates made careful planning and preparation.

They made detailed plans, knowing the enemy's location and numbers, as well as their weapons and equipment.

They also use terrain and obstacles for cover to minimize enemy fire.

During the attack, Noel and his teammates encountered great difficulties.

Enemies are so stealthy that they need to constantly move and change positions to find the right spot.

At the same time, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, and they need to stay alert at all times to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

After several rounds of attacks, they finally succeeded in occupying the enemy's base and destroying the enemy.

…

The winning and losing conditions in different levels are also optional. In some levels, both sides need to compete for the middle location. As long as the opponent is driven out, it is considered a victory.

In some important general protection battles, both sides must protect their own important NPCs. If the NPC is killed by the other party, it will fail...

In short, different terrains, different levels, different winning and losing conditions...

Make the game "Border" unique.

The richness of its content is something that everyone has never experienced before.

The more you play, the better you get, and the more you play, the more fun it becomes. After continuous exploration and verification of many small maps, more fresh gameplay can be developed.

The game Border is really awesome.

…

Real-person combat is really a completely different thing from fighting a battle.

AI has an upper limit, but real people don’t.

In other words, people's abilities are constantly honed in the process of confronting the enemy.

After playing dozens of games, Noel and Rose felt this deeply.

In the previous game, both of them may have felt that the hand was good, but why was the other party such a novice? However, after several rounds of training, they also discovered that the other party's combat effectiveness was rising sharply.

The final competition is about personal talents and individual differences.

Noel's hand speed and reaction ability are very fast. When he encounters love at the corner, he always reacts immediately. He first jumps around and reacts by shooting.

Basically, Noel always wins whenever he's facing off.

Unless the enemy discovers the opponent before him, Noel will fall into passivity.

In some terrains where snipers have an advantage, Noel was squatted by the opponent several times.

Although Noel reacts quickly, he is not the best in shooting accuracy. There is someone on the opposite side who is very good at long-distance shooting or sniping. He can kill you before you can react. .

This also caused Noel great pain.

Who am I and where am I?

Who the hell is hitting me?

Why did I disappear without seeing anyone?

The more he hits, the higher he gets.

Moreover, team members have been rotated several times, and people from different dormitories have also been organized. In this small student building, it is incredible that there are more than 200 people playing border LAN battles.

The fight lasted until about 12 o'clock in the evening, and everyone felt a little sleepy.

"Want to sleep?" Noel raised his tired eyes and looked at Rose.

"Fuck, do it again."

He had lost just now, and Ross died a very painful death. He was stabbed to death with a knife from behind. This was simply a humiliation for him.

Noel said, isn’t that because you are too promiscuous? You always want to rush to the front, but aren’t you the first to die every time?

"Go to bed after winning one." Ross gritted his teeth and said.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep at all.

So unwilling.

After losing, I felt very angry. Noel understood this emotion very well.

but……

By the time Noel and Rose reacted, it was already bright outside.

The two looked at each other——

Why?

Why was there no time yesterday?

…

The game "Border", with its unique charm, allows people to understand the entire game content step by step from the novice campaign, including terrain, operations, tactics and other aspects.

This allows players to become a qualified warrior after the battle, with a full understanding of firearms and a certain ability to operate them.

After that, players are guided into more exciting real-person battles, which further enhances the application scenarios of the game and adds a long life to the game.

Coupled with its excellent graphics, high-quality modeling, and more realistic and cool 3D first-person shooting... this game quickly spread.

Just like what "Border" showed in the opening CG of the campaign, the game was like a ball of flame, igniting the passion of the players and spreading rapidly, eventually forming a raging fire that burned half of the sky red.

In the beginning, it was only college students who were the first to come into contact with it. After all, this group is young and energetic, and easy to accept new things. They are not busy with schoolwork and have plenty of time. Under such circumstances, they are the first batch of people to set the border on fire. .

Then it spread to the surrounding people...

The border is also more widely known.

As for game battles, at first among college students, they were more small-scale battles between adjacent dormitories. However, because pokeni provided the possibility of larger scale, 10v10, it gradually developed. There are more and more like-minded people.

In the end, young people directly opened various posts in the official forum of pokeni America——

[Welcome to join the "Border" discussion forum at the University of California. We will hold competitions from time to time under this post. If there are alumni who like "Border", you may wish to come in and take a look]

[Stanford alumni, please take a look, Stanford "Border" organizes confrontation posts just to allow everyone to have a group of partners to play games with you anytime, anywhere when you can't find a suitable teammate]

…

Since RTT is not available in the United States, everyone communicates more through forum posts or emails.

Some organizers simply keep the room open 24 hours a day, waiting for people on the same local area network to come in. As long as the room is full, the train can start.

It's just that with organization, the efficiency of starting the train can become higher.

This model has also expanded rapidly. Different level rooms are opened in different schools every day, and more and more people are participating in the game.

From Norton Hill to Larry Swamp...

There are actually only so many levels in the game, but each battle will produce a novel experience due to different people and different opponents.

In addition, pokeni has also specially opened the corresponding mod production. Players can use the mod tools in the border to build their own levels and maps, thus forming a new game mode.

This also greatly enriched the gameplay and activated the creativity of players, making "Border" popular in major colleges and universities in a short period of time, becoming the favorite game of young people in the United States, even men under the age of 50.

The entire month of August to September can be said to be the border month, and Omi players are crazy about it.

…

The posts in the pokeni American forum are also extremely popular, with many discussing tactics.

Many people shared their gaming experience yesterday, and many commented on the border and how its arrival has changed their lives.

In short, a border directly set the Omi region on fire.

"It's terrible, the game Border. Ever since my boyfriend bought this game, he doesn't spend much time with me.

At first I thought he had changed his mind and had another new love.

But it wasn't until I rushed to his dormitory that I discovered that this guy was actually lying to me about doing his thesis project in order to play games.

Sisters, do you think you are angry? "

"My boyfriend is the one. Not only does he not accompany me, but he always dislikes me for getting in the way of his playing games.

I don’t quite understand why gun shooting games are so attractive.

I can't play it anyway. "

"I can't play this game either, but please don't get me wrong upstairs. I'm not a woman, and I'm not jealous of my boyfriend playing games.

I just feel dizzy with 3D.

This game is actually quite attractive to me. After all, all my friends around me are playing it. If I am the only one who doesn’t play it, I feel a little too isolated.

But it was impossible to overcome the physical nausea.

As long as I play Border for more than 10 minutes, I feel headache, nausea, and want to vomit.

I don’t know if any of you are in the same situation as me.

I also want to integrate into the group, but my body doesn’t support it and I feel uncomfortable. "

"Me too, I really can't play at all. Even if I stand behind my classmates and watch them play border, I will have the urge to vomit.

The camera turned too dizzy.

I really can't stand it. "

"You are not alone, because I also have symptoms of 3D dizziness. It's strange to say that I didn't feel dizzy when I played Pokeni's other 3D games, such as The Witcher 2 and "Princess Mononoke". The border will.

Very strange. "

"Maybe it's because Frontier is an FPS game, and you need to keep shaking the camera. In The Witcher 2, the camera is fixed, so you won't get dizzy, and in areas where the camera changes, pokeni has been set. Okay, it's actually very comfortable.

As for "Princess Mononoke", if you keep moving the right stick back and forth to rotate the camera, you will also get dizzy.

This has nothing to do with the game, but is related to whether the camera rotates frequently. "

"..."

“I’m not crazy about 3D, but what I think is particularly unfair is why the border effect is so good when other people’s machines use Nvidia graphics cards.

Mine is like a pile of mosaics. From the outside, they look like two games. "

"Me too, if I haven't seen the effects of NVIDIA, forget it. After so many years, who hasn't come from Mosaic games?

Even though it is a mosaic game, Border is still a good shooting game.

However, once I compare the effects with others using NVIDIA graphics cards, I will find that——

It turns out that I wear reading glasses all the time when playing games.

This is what the real border looks like.

Instantly I felt like my graphics card was running low. "

"Pokeni is completely leaving no room for other graphics card manufacturers! Even if it uses the latest voodoo graphics card, its performance and computing power are still one level behind Nvidia."

"Isn't it? The Voodoo graphics card is not specifically designed to support 3D graphics. It is just a graphics effect achieved through 3D calculations.

Nvidia's GPU is independent and specially designed for 3D graphics effects.

What's more, pokeni is developed on this basis. No matter what, you have to admit that the border will be different after using NVIDIA. "

"Border is simply a graphics card killer. Except for Nvidia, other graphics cards cannot be used."

"Hahahaha, is this too real? Border with NVIDIA GeForce and Border without GeForce are two completely different games."

“So now if you want to test the performance of your graphics card, just go to the game Border.

I see that in many computer stores, the clerks use "Border" to demonstrate the effects to customers.

…

After some fermentation and dissemination, Pokeni’s game was awarded the title of [Graphics Card Killer].
