During the public beta period, after players complete the two newcomer training levels that must be passed at the beginning, they can enter the game lobby and play normally.

In the current public beta version, players can only play a six-player duel mode, and there are only two game scenarios, the Early Morning Mansion and the Yuexia Ancient House.

The former is an office building in the early 21st century. It does not have the common equipment of the 22nd century and has a strong old world style for current players.

The Ancient House under the Moon is a script created for internal testing, and it is also a scene experienced by players in the Fierce Ghost Newcomer Training Level. However, compared to before, in the official duel mode, its scope has become wider.

Of course, these are basically for hunter players, because for well-known reasons, ghost players cannot see the surrounding scenes in most cases.

The enemies faced by players in duel mode are no longer rigid AI.

Hunter players only had to deal with three ghost slaves in the training level, but now they have to deal with fierce ghosts controlled by the players, and the level of terror has more than doubled.

The situation is the same for Ghost players. The mercenaries they faced in the training level were not only AI but also had no magnetic weapons. It was as easy as killing chickens. However, in the duel mode, they were replaced by five hunters with magnetic weapons. The killing was difficult. It has also more than doubled.

Therefore, in the duel mode, the players each showed their talents. On the first day of the server opening, there were many tricks that appeared in the duel between the players.

For example, the tactics that anchor Xun Yu came up with.

If the Ghost players want to win, a major problem is that it is difficult to find the enemy. Everyone will understand what happens in the supernatural dimension.

But Xue Xunyu creatively discovered that whether it is a fierce ghost or a ghost slave, it can affect the progress of the current, so that wherever they appear, the lights in the area will always flicker.

Xue Xunyu came up with tactics from it, so when he controlled the fierce ghost, he chose the Weisheng Building, a scene with a complete circuit network, to test the tactics he imagined for the first time.

Compared with those swaying footprints, the circuit network as a whole is more suitable for judging the direction. Xue Xunyu can actually see from it the approximate location of the corridors and rooms in a certain area.

So he summoned three ordinary ghost slaves in advance and asked them to hide behind the door, while the ghost and himself hid at both ends of the corridor.

If a hunter is attracted by the flashing light, it is equivalent to entering Xue Xunyu's trap. They will be attacked by the ghost or Xue Xunyu, and they can only fight and retreat.

If they are lucky, the hunters will be attacked by ghosts. In order to get rid of the pursuit of ghosts, most of them will take advantage of their inflexible turning characteristics and open the doors on both sides to try to escape temporarily. In this way, they will be greeted by hiding. Ordinary ghost slave behind the door.

When Xue Xunyu used this tactic for the first time, because the hunter was pursued by a ghost behind him, the tactic was in optimal condition and was a great success.

All 3 hunters died in this corridor, and the remaining 2 hunters were also seriously damaged. After seeing that Xue Xunyu didn't suffer much damage, he immediately played GG and surrendered.

In short, on the first day of public beta testing of "Ghost Hunter", both word-of-mouth and play rate have achieved considerable success.

Some game review organizations regretfully said that if the horror theme had not restricted many players, otherwise such a novel game might repeat the glory created by "Who is the Terminator" a few years ago.

Speaking of "Who is the Terminator", I think of the Terminator Company. Zhang Chengqi's new gun battle work "New Terminator" will also be officially launched in 2 days.

The financial resources of the Terminator Company are far greater than that of the Herring Company, so they can mobilize more resources for publicity. They even have ulterior motives in specifically selecting anchors who have signed contracts with Herring Company and pulling them all to live broadcast the game "New Terminator". Needless to say, the target is "Ghost Hunter".

With the arrival of the public beta, the "New Terminator" server has finally been officially launched, and the registration channel has been opened to all game players.

It should be said that due to the excellent announcement, at least it was acceptable on the first day, and it was considered a qualified result in terms of quantity.

But this was not enough for the Terminator Company. Soon articles were circulating on the Internet, criticizing the "New Terminator".

As far as Zhong Shanze's senses are concerned, the biggest feature of the game "New Terminator" is that it is ordinary. It is a gun battle game that is on the qualified line.

If the development company of "New Terminator" is not a Terminator, if its last game is not "Who is the Terminator", and if its developer is not Zhang Chengqi, it may be able to run for a few years and then exit.

But it is a pity that reality does not have these three ifs, and Zhang Chengqi has been against players for a long time, resulting in the negative consequences of his reputation being reviled by thousands of people, which was fully exposed at this time.

Since it is a decent game, why don’t we play the old games of other companies and come to your Terminator company? Does Zhang Chengqi have any charisma? It's not bad if you get a reputation.

Therefore, after the great success of "New Terminator" on the first day, the activity volume fell off a cliff on the second day, and plummeted again on the third day.

Faced with the dilemma encountered by "The New Terminator" and Zhang Chengqi, everyone seemed to be watching a joke. Those who clapped and laughed were the kind people. Most of them chose to launch new activities in advance to add insult to injury for "The New Terminator".

Zhang Chengqi, who suffered a major setback, even began to sacrifice "Who is the Terminator" in order to save his hard work "The New Terminator". For example, players who play a game of "The New Terminator" every day can obtain "Who is the Terminator" Rare equipment and other activities in "The Player".

Relying on the high popularity of "Who is the Terminator", this move did temporarily maintain the activity, but all game institutions can see that it will definitely cause damage to the entire Terminator company in the long run.

The so-called house leak happened to rain all night. Some of the partners who had been squeezed out by Zhang Chengqi still cherished the offensive they created, so now they took advantage of the other party's predicament to launch attacks in the board of directors, making it almost difficult for Zhang Chengqi to parry. These days In the few public appearances, fatigue can be seen on his face.

Faced with the situation encountered by this stupid producer, everyone laughed unkindly and then benefited from it.

When "New Terminator" was officially launched, it had an impact on the activity of "Ghost Hunter". However, as the game exploded a few days later, many players returned to this game.

After all, there are many gun-fighting online games on the market, but a genre like "Ghost Hunter" is still unique.

Coveted by the success of "Ghost Hunter", many companies have begun to launch similar themes. It can be expected that in a year's time, a large number of games of the same type will be launched on the market.

This is also inevitable. You must know that as long as the art UI, background settings, etc. are not copied, the same gameplay does not constitute plagiarism. Otherwise, let alone other game companies, even the game "Ghost Hunter" of Qingyu Company would have to be created. Companies that make online gunfight games pay patent taxes.
