Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

However, when Lincoln first saw the alternative proposals, he was shocked to find:

The famous historical battles submitted by the two people, although the warring parties, reasons for the war, and the outcome of the war were not the same, the locations where the wars took place were very familiar!

After careful research, he realized retrospectively that there were many factors that determined the outbreak of war, but “resources” and “location” were the two key factors.

And these two factors have been determined since humans were still primitive.

Why is the Middle East always coveted by people?

Because there is oil under their butts.

Why is the Suez Canal a must-fight place for military strategists?

Because it is located at the junction of Asia, Europe, and Africa, it is the world’s busiest waterway and a key point at sea.

Who wouldn’t be envious?

With exactly the same resources and terrain, it is only natural that there is a great overlap between the locations of wars in the two worlds.

This also led to a direct result: many of the very familiar locations Lincoln has ended up being successfully chosen and have been made into the game again.

However, in the single-player campaign, the warring parties, historical stories, and the direction of the war have changed a lot.

…

After Camille Victoria locked the map, she chose the latter between [Custom Server] and [Random Match] and officially started the game.

Without any wait, she was instantly pulled into the game.

As for the character class, Camille Victoria chose the conservative Medic for insurance purposes, then picked up her starting weapon and joined the battlefield.

Yi didn’t even consider the medic—

“Who plays healers as a normal person?”

“Being able to heal through breathing, who needs a healer? Isn’t that a waste of firepower?”

A real man should play with big guns!”

“Since the Support Soldier has a machine gun, of course, it has to be played! Plus a mortar! Awesome!”

“What else? Ammunition box? Yes! Hitting and replenishing on your own, perpetual motion, perfect!”

“Charge charge charge!”

…

Yelang, on the other hand, was hesitating on the deployment screen, not deciding what to play.

The main reason for the hesitation was that he wanted to play as a sniper, but the Recon Soldier’s weaponry seemed too outdated.

He didn’t want to admit that the bolt-action rifle was a sniper rifle…

It’s too far behind the times!

Regardless of the long list of unexperienced parameters and effects, just looking at the [Damage Decay Distance] below, this gun’s optimal attack distance is just over 100 meters? Is it even worthy of being called a sniper rifle?

“Can this thing really snipe?” Yelang was very doubtful.

In the end, it was the audience’s persuasion in the live broadcast room that made him reluctantly take the starting [SMLE MKIII] rifle and join the battle.

To satisfy the audience’s desire to see how snipers fought a hundred years ago.

As for the [SMLE MKIII] rifle, Lincoln had hesitated whether to translate it as [Lee Enfield Magazine Rifle Mark III] or to take the English abbreviation.

Eventually, he held a public vote in the development team and used the abbreviation according to the voting results.

One employee had a strong reason—”Even in Daxia Country, the abbreviation is more familiar than the full name.”

So this gun is still called [SMLE MKIII], not translated directly.

—Of course, in the detailed information, there was a translated name to help the players understand.

For the same reason, the starting weapon of the Medic is also kept as [Cei-Rigotti Semi-Automatic Rifle] instead of being translated into the [Cei-Rigotti Semi-Automatic Rifle].

“Charge charge charge!” Yelang, ready, dove into the battlefield!

The moment he landed, he saw the dazzling sunlight in the desert, the rolling yellow sand, and—

A total of 53 Comrade-in-arms Support Soldiers carrying mortars!
