The creation of online games is experiencing an unprecedented rise, huge amounts of money are invested in advertising and "PR" of newly emerging games, in order to attract new players. New teams and new tournaments appear.
Consider two computer games of completely different genres, but which have gained immense popularity among "gamers" around the world. This is Battlefield 4, which attracts with the scale of battles and a variety of weapons, and Defense of the Ancients 2 - with a mass of game situations and tactics of warfare.
Battlefield 4 game
EA Digital Illusions CE is a Swedish studio founded in 1992 by four Swedish programmers. In 2002, they released their first video game, Battlefield 1942.
A game in the FPS-Shooter genre with a slight bias towards realism, was written by the developers of the Swedish studio Electronic arts digital illusions Central. The game is a huge map with a variety of military equipment. A large number of firearms, gadgets, and other equipment for the infantryman.
There are three factions in the game: the US Army, the Russian Federation Army, and the People's Republic of China Army. Each faction has several types of small arms and equipment. Battlefield 4 has always been a game designed for "online" battles, But, starting with Battlefield bad company, there was also a single-player game with a plot that initially cannot be taken seriously, since it is made on stereotypes. In Battlefield 4, the plot is based on bad Russians and bad Chinese, who again want to take over the world, but the ending is the same - the brave soldiers of the US Army are again saving the world.
Let's return to the network battles, or rather to the locations where the battles will take place. The brightest maps of "online" battles are the Chinese prison, which is located in the Himalayas, the city of Shanghai, where you can completely, to the ground, destroy an entire skyscraper. Caspian border, a remake map from Battlefield 3, which differs from the previous one in many ways. Now the border of the Caspian looks really like a border: a huge wall with prudent posts has been built, a gap has been made in the wall. When the map ends, the TV tower collapses from being hit by an American howitzer.
And finally, the most interesting and at the same time innovative map is the storm on the Paracel Islands. The map consists of two small islands where clashes between the US and Chinese armies take place. The map is interesting because the weather on the islands is changing dynamically, which leads to a disaster.
Bottom line.
Battlefield 4 is not the most innovative game, but it never took a step back in graphics and gameplay. She has more minuses compared to the previous part. This is mainly the balance of small arms and the "bugs" of the game engine. Therefore, it seems that the developers were doing the game hastily in order to meet the release as much as possible, and now the game is being treated with "patches" and other updates. The game requires you and the other players to play as a team. From this, she begins to transform. And it can be viewed not only as an arcade game, but also as a team, tactical "shooter".
Multiplayer Defense of the Ancients 2
The game, which is very popular among "gamers" around the world due to the simplicity of the rules and at the same time a long threshold of development, as in Defense of the Ancients
In 2009, the American campaign Valve announced a "remake" of this map. The game has become a full-fledged "remake" with an improved interface, with improved graphics, while retaining the dynamics and mechanics of the old game.
there are about a hundred heroes with their own abilities and tactics.
This multiplayer game was originally a custom map for Warcraft 3, made by the official editor. The main developer of the map in 2003 was a player under the "nickname" Eul, and in 2005 the player under the "nickname" Icefrog took over these responsibilities.
Defense of the Ancients 2 spawned a new genre, or rather, a sub-genre of Multiplayer online battle arena games, where you do not need to deal with the economy or build a base, but you need to directly control one hero or subordinates, or summoned creatures.
The hero needs to be pumped by "finishing off" enemy "mobs" or by killing enemy heroes. And in addition to pumping the hero, there is also gold in the game, with which you can buy artifacts that improve or complement the abilities of your hero.
Now the game is very popular and has a huge fanbase. Various tournaments with a huge prize fund are held on it. The best esportsmen in the world of the game Defense of the Ancients 2, united in teams, are fighting for the title of the best team in the world.
Bottom line.
The main advantage of this game is that you can never get bored with it because of the variety of tactics and game situations on the map. The disadvantages are a high threshold of development and an unfriendly community of players, so do not expect politeness and adequacy, but there are exceptions. If you want to get the most out of your drive, this is your game!
