Chapter 220 The official website crashes!
Since EA released the last promotional video, the countdown to the release of Battlefield 1 has begun.
On EA's official website, the page has been changed to a huge 30-day countdown.
Looking at the time approaching day by day, EA has not taken any action, and the players still feel a little uncomfortable.
'Um? EA, which has released so many promotional videos, has stopped releasing promotional videos? ’
‘To be honest, it’s too quiet, and I’m still a bit uncomfortable with it. ’
‘How about you release two more promotional videos? Otherwise, it would be a bit unaccustomed to wait. ’
“I just hope that the game that EA buys from the old thief can be as good as the dozen promotional videos he released. Every time I watch the promotional videos, I am shocked for a hundred years. ’
‘The old thief’s understanding of war games is really shocking. I have a hunch that EA can rely on this Battlefield game for decades. ’
‘Let’s quench our thirst with two more trailers, the kids are hungry! ’
…
Players are squatting in the comment area of EA's official website, they are interacting and chatting, and EA has also thoughtfully arranged message boards for each country here.
Players can browse messages from other countries and try to interact with them.
Even EA itself doesn’t understand. The homepage of its official website only has a huge thirty-day countdown and nothing else. Why do some players take the trouble to refresh this page?
They have followed the players’ advice and no longer release a large number of promotional videos for the game, which will no longer consume players’ enthusiasm for the game.
But looking at the comment section, the voices asking them to post more promotional videos are getting stronger and stronger.
Want to release a promotional video?
EA headquarters held a meeting overnight to discuss this issue.
The final result they came to is that in the final period, they will not release promotional videos so as not to consume the enthusiasm of players.
They will release a final promotional video one day before the official release of the game.
The countdown is still decreasing every second, and the number of players refreshing the page only increases.
When everyone has nothing to do, they will click on EA's official website to see how much time is left.
Finally, under the huge impact of traffic, EA’s official website collapsed.
The official website crashed. In the past, EA never dared to think about this problem.
After all, what can people see on a game company’s official website? What kind of traffic can there be?
In these last 30 days, they felt the magic power of the old thief for the first time.
“How about we reveal a little something to them?” In the EA high-level meeting, one person made a suggestion. "Sometimes we reveal a little something, we don't necessarily have to release a promotional video."
“This is such a great idea! What should we do?”
“After the website is repaired, add a little game information description under the countdown.”
"Oh! This is really a great suggestion. I really go crazy if I don't post a promotional video. I really don't know how the old thief can resist releasing a promotional video after every game is about to be released! I really can't wait to make it. Every detail of the game is informed to players!”
“Then...let’s reveal a little bit!”
…
When EA’s official website crashed for the first time, players were shocked.
‘I’m sorry! We really smashed it! ’
‘It’s so tattered, it doesn’t stand up to washing at all. ’
“It’s hard to say whether there will be a pause... because EA is indeed following the old thief’s example of torturing players, but he learned it wrongly...”
The collapse of the official website has left players with no choice but to vent their dissatisfaction in other places.
And the entry about the crash of EA's official website is also quickly hitting the top of the hot searches.
The crash did not last long. The waiting players kept refreshing the page. After refreshing for an unknown number of times, the crashed page re-displayed the countdown.
——
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief quietly, because the countdown was not suspended due to the website crash.
On the contrary, after this refresh, everyone could not help but feel happy when they saw the sudden decrease in time.
The reduction of ten minutes of time is obviously a normal consumption, but I always feel that this time has been drastically reduced and stolen.
Looking at the countdown, the anxious players became relieved.
They looked at the page carefully, but found something different.
Below the countdown, there is a string of white gray text on the black back panel.
【"Battlefield One" is adapted from events that happened a hundred years ago. 】
【More than 60 million soldiers participated in this, [the war to end all wars]】
【In the end, nothing ended in this war】
【But it changed the world forever】
The player who discovered the string of words began to breathe quickly, because anyone who knew a little about history could smell the smell of blood hidden in history books and dust.
The number of 60 million soldiers was definitely an astronomical figure before the population expanded.
And so many people were all charging into that fruitless battlefield.
The First World War can definitely be called the most brutal and fierce battle.
This war was long and bloody. A shell fell on every square meter of the ten-square-kilometer battlefield, and countless bodies were buried under the deeply plowed soil.
There is no need to deliberately bury it, because the body that falls to the ground will be covered by the sand and gravel blown up by the shells, covering all his flesh and blood.
At that time, it would be no exaggeration to say that the battlefield was a **** on earth.
Every breath of air breathed by the soldiers lying on the ground was moist and sticky, mixed with bubbles of flesh and blood, as well as mud and gunpowder smoke.
Among them, the Battle of Verdun was also the bloodiest and longest among them.
What will Verdun look like a hundred years from now?
Dense vegetation has grown again. The leaves have not yet grown, but they look so lush and green from a distance.
Even people from the F country fell silent when they saw that bright green.
Because every inch of land here is made of flesh and blood as fertilizer for irrigation.
Cannonballs plowed through every inch of the land here, and another 300,000 corpses were buried in the deeply plowed land, nourishing the land after being baptized by artillery fire.
Why everyone is so looking forward to this game? Because no one can imagine how a game company can interpret such historical cruelty.
With EA's generous promotion, what everyone is looking forward to is not a mediocre FPS shooting game.
What they want is an authentic World War I experience.
Seeing that string of text, players who originally suspected that EA could not grasp such a battle suddenly thought of something and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
EA was unable to grasp the game later, but when it produced the game, it was endorsed by old thieves.
Everyone believes that no one can be disappointed in Lao Zei’s game, even if he sells the game to EA.
