With all the attention, CSOL officially opened its server!
Thanks to the early launch of World of Warcraft, Facebook Games is now very experienced in the technology of setting up online game servers.
It has to be said that Facebook Games has far surpassed other game companies in terms of game technology and server construction technology.
In terms of game technology, the company owns two top game manufacturers, Blizzard and Valve, leading the world in technology.
As for the server and transmission technology, it has obtained some authorized server technology from the acquired IBM personal computer business unit. You must know that IBM's servers are definitely the top in the world and are well-known.
In terms of data transmission, the father of BT technology is currently an employee of Facebook Games.
Therefore, this time CSOL once again created a new model in terms of server setup.
For shooting games like CS, the biggest problem is that there are not enough people in the server, and the waiting time for matching is too long. In that case, players will waste too much time.Similarly, when the number of players in the server is small, the number of players on the same level will not be too many. It is easy to match high-rank and low-rank players together during matching, which will cause a bad game experience.
The best solution is to have enough players on the same server, and there are a large number of players in each rank, so that when ranking matches, players of the same level can be matched quickly, so that everyone can play heartily.
Therefore, after a long period of research by the company's technology department and THINKPAD, an exclusive technology was launched.
CSOL's servers only have large areas, and there are no small servers anymore, but in fact, each large area is supported by dozens of servers.
In this way, what players see is that there are hundreds of thousands of players in a large area!
Chapter 773 Explosive but Not Optimistic
On February [-]th, there were discussions about the launch of CSOL in various schools and on the Internet.
"The online version of CS is starting today. Let's go to the Internet cafe at noon? If it's fun, I won't come to class in the afternoon. Anyway, there are no important classes."
"It seems that the server starts at ten o'clock. Hey, if I can't leave in the morning, I would have gone to play."
"On the forum last night, I saw that many people asked for a day off today, just to enter the server as soon as possible."
"Have you heard, CSOL's server has a total of 60 million people! My God, I have never seen an online game with so many people."
"Facebook games are so awesome. I have made two online games in total. One is better than the other! World of Warcraft has a server of tens of thousands of people, and it is so lively. It is hard to imagine what it would be like to have a server of 60 or [-] people .”
"Aren't you stupid? Can CSOL compare with World of Warcraft? No matter how many people there are on the CSOL server, you can't see it. A map can have at most 32 players, and you'll never see 33 players appearing at the same time! World of Warcraft The world is different, as long as you have strong computer skills, you can see hundreds or even thousands of people on the same map!"
This player is still relatively professional. Indeed, the difficulty of setting up CSOL and World of Warcraft servers is indeed not at the same level.
The characteristics of the CSOL game determine that it does not have such high requirements for the server, and it is just a gimmick after all.Due to the limitation of the player's network speed, including platform battles, the maximum number of players in each round of CS and CSOL games is 10.
Just like what the player said, even if a server has millions of people, you can't see No.30 three...
But there is one thing he didn't say, that is, there are still great advantages to having a large number of servers, at least the matching is a second speed!
There is absolutely no waiting for someone to wait for a few minutes.
In this type of battle game, the most fearful thing is not being able to match players.
Therefore, CSOL, a server with a large number of people, is still worthy of praise.
…………
At ten o'clock in the morning, CSOL officially opens its server!
The first batch of servers released was only six.Telecom has one district and two districts in the south, one district and two districts in the north; China Netcom has one district in the south and one district in the north.
The maximum number of registrations per server... 50!
Moreover, this upper limit is flexible. If any server players are not active enough, they can also let go of registration and introduce new blood.
When the server was first launched, players were most active and spent the longest time online, so a cap of 50 was set.After the later stage stabilizes, these large regions can still open up registration.
Moreover, online games such as CSOL have another advantage over games such as World of Warcraft and Legendary, that is, there are no worries about new players in old areas.
If games like World of Warcraft and Legends are opened in a large area for a month or two or even longer, even if you allow registration again, there are probably very few newcomers who are willing to go.Because the level can't keep up, the old players are all level-capped, and after you enter as a cute newcomer, you can't even gather people to spawn monsters.Asking grandpa to tell grandma to find someone to help you every day, isn't it tiring?
But CSOL is different, this is a shooting battle game, your level depends on your skills!
As long as your skills are good enough, even if you enter the server half a year later, it may only take a few days to be promoted to the king. There is no difference between old players and new players.
Therefore, after adopting the new technology, CSOL will not open too many districts, and the pursuit is to make every district full of people!
"Brothers, are you ready? Let's enter the Telecom Zone [-] when the server starts! Play a little longer today and try to improve your rank as soon as possible." In the Internet cafe outside Jiaotong University, Zhang Liang sat side by side with a few classmates, excited Vigorously prepare for the opening of CSOL.
Now on the Jiaotong University campus, Zhang Liang is quite well-known, at least he is also a professional player who participated in the 2003 WCG Global Finals!
Although the results of his team were not very good, there was no chance to enter the quarterfinals, and even the group did not appear.
But at any rate, he reached the offline finals, which can also be called the top domestic team. In the entire Jiaotong University, he is the only CS professional player.
After playing around in a professional e-sports club, I also earned some money. The wages plus game bonuses totaled [-] to [-].
So Zhang Liang has a lot of money recently, and he pays for bringing his classmates to the Internet cafe, including going out to eat!
Today is the first day of the launch of CSOL, and Zhang Liang found out through friends in the professional circle that this year, that is, WCG in 2004, CS will be cancelled, and CSOL will be replaced!
As an active CS professional player, of course he has to be familiar with this game immediately, after all he is still in the club.
If school hadn't just started these two days, he would still be going to the club for training.
…………
Zhang Liang received the correct news, Facebook Games is indeed planning to replace the CS project with the CSOL project in this year's WCG competition.
Because the CS game has been sold for several years. Although it is still a global hit, it is a stand-alone game after all. The sales volume is basically saturated, and it is impossible to make much contribution to the company's revenue.
But CSOL is different. CSOL was originally the online version of Half-Life [-].
If Facebook Games hadn't acquired Valve, then Half-Life [-] would be launched now, still a stand-alone game, and there would be no CSOL launch.
Now that CSOL has provoked the mainstay of the CS replacement, Facebook Games must be the main push for this game, and the CSOL game itself is also very suitable for competitive competitions.
Although the game is much more complicated than CS, the core is completely the same. If old CS players want to get started with this new game, it is also very simple. Basically, log in, get familiar with it and play it.
After CSOL goes online for a period of time, if the player base increases, Facebook Games will officially announce that in 2004 WCG, CSOL will replace CS projects.
…………
"Brother Liang, is this going to attack the first batch of kings in the national uniform?" the classmate next to him asked with a smile.
"Of course, our club has requirements. Every player must enter the ranks of the national server champions. Otherwise, they will stay in the team for inspection! The salary will be halved!" Zhang Liang replied.
Professional e-sports clubs are not for charity, and they also have strict requirements for players, such as the amount of training time per week, the player's rank on the Facebook game platform, and so on.
If you can't reach it, you will be included in the inspection list and your salary will be deducted.
