Ten days ago, Zack, who was a little annoyed by "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," was unusually tough.
Since the release of "Overcooked," he has washed dishes for over a thousand days.
The reason, of course, was that he didn't want to wait a second longer.
Although he was annoyed, it was because he was upset about the deaths of Gaz and Griggs, and because Nebula Games ended the story abruptly.
As for the game itself, he was incredibly excited about it.
He cursed 'Lucas, the old fox,' but he still had to hand over the money in his wallet.
When he entered the game, the first thing he saw wasn't the new graphics.
Instead, it was a flashback.
In the recruit training camp, Captain Price listened to the recruits' introductions and complained to his teammate, "Soap? What kind of code name is that?"
In the Middle East square, Al-Asad, wearing a red beret, stages a coup and assassinates the president of a small country.
Zakhaev also appeared in the flashback, but previous players didn't recognize him, so they didn't react much when they first saw him.
In a city in the Middle East, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, taking the lives of thirty thousand people.
The younger Zakhaev swallowed a bullet and killed himself to avoid capture during an operation.
Zakhaev, suffering from the pain of losing his son, activated and launched a missile with a nuclear warhead.
Price, Gaz, Soap, and Griggs chased and fought on the bridge and killed Zakhaev.
In the mountains of Ukraine, the newly formed Task Force 141 fell into a trap, and Price held them back, his fate unknown.
Scenes from the past were shown to the players, followed by a timeline subtitle – [Five Years Later]
For players who have played it before, they naturally know these plots and content.
But after all, Lucas released "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" as a trilogy, just like in his previous life.
Adding this kind of fragmented flashback narrative to the game can also help players better understand the story.
Zakhaev is dead, but the even more insane Makarov has emerged.
Without any hesitation, Zack directly chose the normal difficulty.
He had tried hard and veteran before.
He really wasn't sure he could handle them now.
As for recruit difficulty, he felt it was too easy.
For players who haven't played FPS games, recruit difficulty might be just right.
But for an FPS veteran like him, normal difficulty was the right temperature.
'No matter how quickly appearances change, the essence of things is always eternal.'
'The rules have changed, the players have changed, but power will always fall into the hands of someone.'
'We fought alongside the Russians, but in the end, there is only animosity between countries.'
The anti-American wave, war plans, crazy leaders, and unstable international situation made Zack feel incredibly tense.
Against this background, the camera moved to Phoenix Base in Afghanistan.
Today is new recruit training day. Sergeant Foley has been entrusted by General Shepherd to select a clean and highly qualified soldier to join Shepherd's command.
The player plays as Private First Class Joseph Allen of the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.
The first level is called [Everyday Life], which is just a simple tutorial for beginners. Zack knew this because.
The system prompted him, indicating that the player's VR had played the first part, and asked if he wanted to skip the beginner tutorial.
Of course, if there is no save file, then you still have to go through this beginner tutorial by default.
And now he still has a lot of questions in his mind.
Not only whether Captain Price is still alive, but also why he has become this Ranger Private First Class instead of Soap.
Zack guessed in his mind, and after choosing to skip the beginner tutorial level, a notification about getting an achievement popped up.
[Daily training, sometimes the purpose is not just training]
Looking at this achievement notification, Zack didn't think much about it.
Because this is a relatively special point of Nebula Games' games.
That is, there are various achievements and trophies in the game.
Many players with a desire to collect them will collect various achievements, and after collecting them all, they will get a platinum trophy.
Even on the Nebula Games platform, there are many game manufacturers and designers who specialize in making games that are easy to get trophies in.
But Zack himself didn't think much about it.
After finishing daily training, Allen was immediately sent to the front lines.
Just like the experience in the previous "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," there was an incredibly intense battlefield atmosphere and experience.
Of course, there were also very reliable teammates.
For example, Shepherd in the previous game would pull the player up and loudly remind you that this is a battlefield.
The Ranger squad will provide cover for you, and Captain Dunn will rescue you from the rain of bullets regardless of his own safety.
They were all very good teammates.
Especially his superior, Shepherd, who valued him highly.
Allen: 'Sir, how do I look?'
Shepherd: 'Good, just like the enemy. You're perfect for this undercover mission.'
Allen: 'The target is Makarov, right?'
Shepherd: 'Makarov? He's not worthy of being a target. He's just a mad dog biting people for money. Memorize the details of your undercover identity. Your life depends on it.'
Shepherd: 'Finally, welcome to Task Force 141, which I've built with the world's most elite soldiers.'
Allen: 'It's an honor! General. When can I meet my other teammates?'
Shepherd: 'They're on a mission.'
After a CG animation ended, the scene changed to a snow mountain.
In the heavy snow, on the cliff of a thousand-meter snow mountain, a man with icicles hanging from his beard and wearing windproof goggles was squatting on the cliff smoking a cigar, the type his former captain liked to smoke the most.
[Cliffhanger]
[Day Two, 07:35:40]
[Roach - Sergeant Gary Sanderson]
"It's time. We need to move out, Roach." The smoking man flicked the cigar off the cliff in a familiar way, stood up, and turned around to say.
At this time, Zack finally recognized who the person in front of him was.
"What the hell! Soap! Now Soap is my captain?" Zack was shocked.
And the Gary Sanderson he is playing now is not the team member from the Stonefish mission?
So Captain Price is really gone?
